This build is Ultimate Pulverize. I highly recommend that anyone that’s planning to use Pulverize for Diablo 4 Abattoir of Zir Dungeon to run this build. Now it’s worth noting that I optimized this build around AOE because the new bosses are three enemies instead of one. Despite that, we can still practically one-shot Uber Lilith, and tier 100 Nightmare Dungeons are no problem. If you have a sufficient amount of Diablo 4 Gold, the next steps will be very beneficial for you. Let’s get into the build.
Build Basics
The main thing that drives this build is Overpower. We have an innate 3% chance to overpower and overpower every 300 Spirit we spend. We get an overpower charge every 12 seconds that we’re healthy. Then get another charge every 16 seconds that we’re in were-bear form, and this doesn’t have to be consecutively. Getting an overpower every 20 seconds from our Vampire Powers, and we’re getting another overpower charge every 20 kills. We’re tapping into every source of overpower we can get. With well over 2,000 overpower damage, we hit like a truck.
Skills
The gameplay for this build is pretty simple. You can use Blood Howl to activate your Vigilance passive for some damage reduction. Pulverize is your major source of damage, or should I say, an only source of damage. Your companion skills you’re going to mostly leave alone. These are for passive bonuses.
However, the most important one to use is Poison Creeper. Using Poison Creeper will activate our Heightened Malice Node that gives us a 45% damage increase, and this also gives a 20% Critical Strike Chance on the enemies that are poisoned. When you combine that with what we already have, that’s an 80% Critical Strike Chance.
Our ultimate is a significant source of CSC. It’s going to stun everything in the room, and we can also use it to increase our damage to enemies and bosses. If you ever want to get the ability to pull enemies into you, drop retaliation and go for Airidah’s. You’re going to lose some damage, but this could be very nice, especially in a team situation.
Spirit Boons
For Spirit Boons, we’re going to weariness, Scythe Talons, Iron Feather, Packleader, and Obsidian Slam. If you really like seeing bigger numbers, you can always drop Scythe Talons and go for Avian Wrath, and if you really don’t need the survivability, you can always drop Iron Feather and go for Avian Wrath as well. That’s a choice I would make if I was doing something like Uber Lilith.
Gear, Aspects, and Uniques
The equipment we’re going with Disobedience on the helm, and once we have the Tears of Blood Glyph, there’s a good chance we’re going to get enough armor from the spot that we’re putting it, that we won’t have to run disobedience anymore. If that happens, God’s Slayer will be the best choice here. And if you need the extra survivability, Shako or the legendary Helm work fine.
For our chest armor, we’re going with Insatiable Fury. For our gloves, we’re using Ursine Horror. On the pants, we’re running Tibalt’s Will. On our boots, we’re going Flickerstep. If you don’t have a flicker step, you could always go with some legendary boots and just run ballistic or something. On our weapon, we’re going with shock wave aspect. For Amulet, we’re going with Banished Lord’s Talisman. You can also go for a legendary necklace. If you do that, you’re going to move Shepherds up to the amulet. Then we could go raw might aspect or Airidah’s ring as a replacement.

Stats
Now, if you use my written guide and you’re not familiar with Mobalytics, you’re going to click on this little slider in the top right, and this is going to show you the detailed stat breakdown view of the gear. If you don’t want to go in there, you can always hover over an item and look at the bottom. Make sure you come in here and look for the items you need so you can get the correct itemization for the build. I even filled out the stats for items I intend to use a unique on just in case you don’t have them.
The only thing to really note here is that you only need one damage to crowd control enemies on your ring. We’ll max out our Earthen Devastation bonus with just that. So for the other ring, you can either go lucky, hit chance or physically damage.
Gems
For our Gems, they’re pretty set in stone. We’re going Ruby on the weapon, Ruby on the armor, and Diamonds on the jewelry. Now we do have a poison resistance in our Paragon Board, so that means if you have a resistance stat somewhere else on your gear, then you can just run three different gems and potentially cap out your resistances a little easier.
Vampire Powers
For Vampire Powers, we’re going with Blood Howl, Feed the Coven, Hemomancy, Sanguine Brace, and Metamorphosis. If you’re a very active player, you could probably remove feed the coven and put in prey on the weak. This would allow us to make any enemies that we dash through vulnerable.
Skill Tree
For the Skill Tree, you just need to put two points into any basic skill so you move to the next category. Then we’re maxing out Wild Impulses, Pulverize, and putting one point in Primal Pulverize. Then we’ll move down to the defensive tree where we’re going to take Blood Howl and one point in aid Blood Howl. Max out Ancestral Fortitude and Vigilance. Move down to the companion tree where we’ll drop one point in wolves, one point in Poison Creeper, as well as Brutal Poison Creeper, one point in Ravens, as well as Brutal Ravens.
We’re going to max out Nature’s Reach, and then we’re going to move down. We’re going to max out Provocation, max out Stone Guard and Crushing Earth, and put one point in Safeguard. Then we’re going to max out in venom and move down to the ultimate tree where we’re going to put one point in petrify and max that out to Supreme Petrify. Then we’re going to max out Defiance and then we’re going to max out Heighten Senses. Finally, for our Keystone passive, we’re going Earth and Sky.
Paragon Boards
Our Paragon Boards might look slightly weird. That’s because I prepped beforehand and made sure that whatever we build now will work whenever the new glyph comes out. So first up on the Paragon Board, we’re going to grab our rare nodes, and we’re going to be putting Spirit on the first board. Moving up, we’re going to grab the Survival Instincts Board, and we’re going to be putting Werebear here. We’re grabbing every rare node and the legendary node, and then we’re moving left, and we’re putting on the Inner Beast. Once again, we’re grabbing every rare node, and we’re going to be putting Dominate here.
Moving down from here, we’re going to grab the Earthen Devastation Board, where we’re going to put Outmatch and grab the legendary node. Moving back up above the Inner Beast, we’re going to be putting on the Heighten Malice Board and getting just the legendary node and the one rare node.
Then, moving back to the right of Survival Instincts, we’re grabbing the anal guidance board. We’re going to get the one rare node, and we’re going to grab the legendary node. This is what it’ll look like when you’re done, and when we get the Tears of Blood Glyph, we’re actually going to be filling in our Survival Instincts Board, and we’re not removing any boards, but we will be cutting down on some of the rare nodes.
