Gear

Season 4 Tier Set

  • 2pcs: Primordial Wave summons a Lightning Feral Spirit that increases your Nature damage dealt by 20% for 15 sec.
  • 4pcs: Summoning a Feral Spirit reduces the cooldown of Primordial Wave by 7.0 sec.

Our T31 2pc and 4pc set bonuses focus on improving Primordial Wave, providing us with more frequent burst damage and Maelstrom Weapon generation. Effectively Primordial Wave will be a 24 second cooldown instead of the usual 45 seconds. You always want to make sure Primordial Wave is on cooldown when using Feral Spirit to get the cooldown reduction.

Best items to upgrade

Look for any items with Haste and Mastery to upgrade with your Crests.

Embellishments

For your embellishments, you want to run Adaptive Dracothyst Armguard and any armor piece with Shadowflame-Tempered Armor Patch.

Alternatively, once you have a full set of sockets on your gear you can swap out the Armor Patch for Elemental Lariat.

Trinkets

Ominous Chomatic Essence, Whispering Incarnate Icon, Neltharion’s Call to Dominance, Pip’s Emerald Friendship Badge, Cataclysmic Signet Brand, Manic Grieftorch and Dragonfire Bomb Dispenser are all very solid choices for your trinket slots and you should be aiming for two out of these.
