Version, purpose and verified scope

Rotting Lightbringer, Rabid Beast, Ursine Horror and Rampaging Werebeast connect the bear slam to Poison and Nature Magic synergies. Temerity adds protection. The retained S12 loadout is complete; old S10 Chaos paragraphs on the rolling source page do not apply here.

Patch family 2.6; level 60. Source variant: End Game. Author revision: 2026-03-21T04:34:10. This page includes the complete skill allocation, bar, equipment, sockets and board/glyph list. Record and top-rank claims in the source title are not adopted as our own measurements.

Skill, item and glyph names retain unambiguous English planner labels. Numbers in the point table are allocated ranks, not final ranks increased by gear.

Action bar and gameplay

Maintain Grizzly Rage, Pulverize clustered targets and use the intended Claw/Maul transitions for resources and form bonuses. Stagger Debilitating Roar against heavy incoming damage and use Cyclone Armor for close-range control. Test Spirit against bosses without relying on a killstreak.

Stats, tempering and upgrade order

The unique core weapon and a complete resource cycle come before luxury Bloodied rolls. Then improve Willpower, Life, critical support and listed seasonal affixes. Subo supports routing, while Varyana’s reinforcement gathers enemies for larger slams.

The table lists attributes from the selected source, with preferred Greater/Masterwork targets first. It does not reuse present-day tooltip percentages as historical values.

Seasonal powers and Talisman package

Bloodied affixes and killstreaks replace S11 enhancements. Killstreak bonuses are not automatically permanent during single-boss fights.

Farming targetPrimary class stat through killstreak; re-evaluate without a streak for boss comparisons.

Limits and safe transitions

Not every seasonal line retained in the source belongs to S12. Chaos Armor and Divine Gifts are deliberately not counted as active S12 bonuses here.

Verify resource sustain, protection and core items together before increasing difficulty. An author’s test with particular gear, density or boss phases does not prove identical performance on every character.
