How to play the Werebear Druid Build in Last Epoch

The Werebear Druid deals the most damage while in Werebear Form. For maximum effect, use Warcry, Upheaval and Fury Leap beforehand to take out weaker enemies, letting you focus on tougher ones. Since Werebear turns Mana into Rage and uses it while active, it's best to use it sparingly and choose the opportunity to strike.

Early on, Summon Wolf and Fury Leap will be your best friends, as they're the best Attacks to use against weaker enemies for farming XP. With the help of Blessings that suit your playstyle, you'll soon rank up and expand the Skill tree.
