Version, purpose and verified scope
Storm’s Companion and Aspect of the Alpha add Storm and Werewolf synergies to Wolves. Their Lucky Hits can trigger Pack Leader and reduce Petrify’s downtime through Calm Before the Storm. Ceh’s summons add to the companion count used by Shepherd’s Aspect.
Patch family 2.2; level 60. Source variant: Default. Author revision: 2025-04-28T20:06:28. 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
Use Petrify on dense elite packs or during a boss window and repeatedly direct the Wolves’ active attack at the same target. Stagger Blood Howl, Debilitating Roar and Earthen Bulwark as needed. Cyclone Armor keeps melee enemies away; avoid unnecessarily switching the focus target.

|---|---|
| 1 | Blood Howl |
| 2 | Cyclone Armor |
| 3 | Debilitating Roar |
| 4 | Wolves |
| 5 | Petrify |

Equipment by slot
Aspects and Uniques are listed as one coherent setup. A higher item-power number does not replace a missing core item.
| Slot | Item / aspect |
|---|---|
| Helm | Heir of Perdition |
| Pants | Storm's Companion |
| Ring 1 | Moonrage Aspect |
| Weapon | Shepherd's Aspect |
| Amulet | Aspect of the Alpha |

| Ring 2 | Airidah's Inexorable Will |
| Gloves | Aspect of the Stampede |
| Boots | Aspect of Concussive Strikes |
Stats, tempering and upgrade order
Prioritize Storm’s Companion and Alpha before luxury Mythics. Then improve Lucky Hit for resets, companion damage and Werewolf attack speed. Shroud of False Death replaces a defensive chest only once the Wolves reliably survive without Spirit Bond.
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.
| Slot | Attribute priority | Tempering |
|---|---|---|
| Helm | Primary Core Stat · Movement Speed | — |
| Pants | Willpower · Ranks To Wolves · Wolves Attack Speed · Lucky Hit Chance For The Pack Leader Spirit Boon | — |
| Ring 1 | Critical Strike Chance · Willpower · Attack Speed | Ultimate Efficiency Druid Petrify Cooldown Reduction · Shapeshifting Finesse Werewolf Attack Speed |
| Weapon | Maximum Life · Willpower · Critical Strike Damage | Companion Finesse Wolves Damage · Shapeshifting Finesse Werewolf Attack Speed |
| Amulet | Willpower · Ranks To Call Of The Wild · Ranks To Envenom | Ultimate Efficiency Druid Petrify Cooldown Reduction · Shapeshifting Finesse Werewolf Attack Speed |

| Boots | Willpower · Maximum Life · Movement Speed | Motion Movement Speed · Nature Magic Innovation Petrify Duration |
Runes and gems
Sockets for the selected variant. A rune pair belongs together in a suitable item; socketed runes and completed Runeword equipment are different things.

| Pants | Sapphire |
| Ring 1 | Diamond |
| Weapon | Emerald |
| Amulet | Diamond |
| Chest | Nagu + Ohm |

Paragon: boards and glyphs
This list documents the selected endgame setup. Use the linked planner for exact connected individual nodes and earlier point totals. A high target glyph rank is not an entry requirement.

| 2 | Thunderstruck | Territorial | 100 |

Seasonal powers and Talisman package
Boss Powers: one Main Power and three modifiers. This seasonal package has expired.
The supplementary Boss Power option comes from a dated historical Maxroll profile of the same archetype. It is identified as this editorial combination, not as an identical measured author run.
| Role / slot | Selection |
|---|---|
| Main Power | Ashava’s Poison Breath |
| Modifier 1 | Beastmaster’s Training |
| Modifier 2 | Harbinger of Hatred’s Volley |
| Modifier 3 | Sinerat’s Flames |
Limits and safe transitions
Focused on single bosses. Small attack areas and repeated target switching slow open-world routes; Cataclysm farming builds serve a different goal.
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.
