Version, purpose and verified scope

Cataclysm with Tectonic Spikes, The Basilisk and the Den Mother/Old Mountain Talisman combination forms this documented S14 farming setup. Lightning Storm and Cyclone Armor receive substantial point investment; Wolves and Ravens add support. Three clearly named free shape choices leave exactly 83 paid points among all entries.

Patch family 3.1; level 70. Source variant: 🔰 Balanced. Author revision: 2026-07-27T16:12:34. 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 Cataclysm during sustained enemy windows, use Claw for the intended Werebear transition and Cyclone Armor for close-range control. Lightning Storm and Companions supplement the planned triggers. Approach the next pack so the major damage window is not spent mostly traveling.

Equipment by slot

Aspects and Uniques are listed as one coherent setup. A higher item-power number does not replace a missing core item.

Stats, tempering and upgrade order

Complete The Basilisk and matching Talisman requirements first. Then optimize Cataclysm availability, duration, critical support and the resource baseline for Locran’s Talisman. The documented Werewolf/Werebear choices cost no extra points; no budget correction to this complete author plan is needed.

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.

Limits and safe transitions

Selected for comfortable area farming, not claimed as a universal Pit record setup. Cataclysm downtime and long travel limit throughput; old Chaos Perks retained in source data are not counted in S14.

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.
