Season context and purpose
Historical Season 5, patch family 1.5. Landslide triggers Lightning Storm for Pit and Hordes area damage. Preserved author plan explicitly marked for this season; present-day tooltip coefficients are not reused. Optimization applies to the named activity and gearing stage; this is not a current or cross-season ranking promise.
Nature’s Fury links Earth and Storm skills. Earthbreaker and Aftershock multiply Landslide events; Unsung Ascetic’s Wraps amplify the triggered lightning. The Speed/Pit plan allocates Lightning Storm without placing it on the manual bar.
Six bar slots and class system
Use Nature’s Fury. The Speed/Pit plan may obtain Cyclone Armor ranks from the chest. When switching to Starless Skies, check Vulnerable application and add Innate Cyclone Armor as needed.
Speed/Pit boons: Wariness, Avian Wrath and Iron Feather through Eagle bonding, Pack Leader and Calm Before the Storm.
| Slot | Skill |
|---|---|
| 1 | Landslide |
| 2 | Shred |
| 3 | Poison Creeper |
| 4 | Blood Howl |
| 5 | Petrify |
| 6 | Cyclone Armor |

Equipment, aspects and stat priorities
Stabilize critical chance, Landslide/Lightning Storm ranks, attack speed and Spirit. Build defenses through shapeshifting, Vigilance and Life. Do not compare only the tooltip damage of one of the two damage skills.
| Role | Equipment / mechanic |
|---|---|
| Core | Earthbreaker; Unsung Ascetic’s Wraps; Aftershock; Subterranean |
| Equipment | Vasily’s Prayer; Tibault’s Will; Natural Balance; Retaliation |
| Optional | Ring of Starless Skies; Doombringer for a separate tankier variant |
Rotation and resources
Position with Shred, use Poison Creeper and Petrify on tough packs, refresh Blood Howl and cast Landslide. Allocate Cyclone Armor according to the defense/Vulnerable variant; Storm procs happen automatically.
Season mechanic and targeted choices
Infernal Hordes supply materials and equipment. Reputation and Journey rewards support gearing; they are not additional equippable vampiric powers.
Paragon: boards and glyphs
Bring normal rare glyphs to rank 15 for increased radius, then rank 21 for the period’s maximum rank bonus. Additional bonuses require enough purchased attributes within range.
| Board | Glyph |
|---|---|
| Start | Werebear |
| Constricting Tendrils | Earth and Sky |
| Earthen Devastation | Fang and Claw |
| Ancestral Guidance | Keeper |
| Survival Instincts | Spirit |
| Heightened Malice | — |
| Thunderstruck | — |
Leveling, transition and patch limits
Begin with Landslide and Aftershock; adopt the complete Stormslide chain after Earthbreaker and Unsung. The pure Landslide version uses a different key passive.
Do not mix Andariel, pure Landslide and Stormslide tables. This is Perra’s S5 Speed/Pit variant; its base points and glyphs are used together.
