HAMMERNADO Wulfgar

(endless spin2win ultimates during bossfights)

♦ ◊ ♦ ◊ ♦

This build is all about spamming Wulfgar’s spin2win Ultimate as much as possible. Thanks to the Corsair Set we can keep the ultimate up between 95% and 100% of the time during a bossfight. Combined with Cold or Lightning DMG and enough Condition Penetration, you’ll also be locking your foes in a freeze or shock state quite often in case your ultimate is still not ready. The build can solo all Content as long as reasonably geared up and works even better in a Group. When not using our ultimate it could feel quite squishy but at least you can heal up as you deal damage. Each Crit landed on an Elite will have extra chance to drop Healing Stamina or Ultimate fragments which is great for the survivability, sustain and DPS. During our ultimate we’re practically immortal so using is as much as possible is the key to facetanking bosses.

Build Video Version:

Abilities:

I prefer using the following two abilities:

• Endurance of the Elk – for a Powerful Strikes (increases our crit chance) self buff + a Frenzy Team Buff that boosts the whole team’s DMG.
• Primal Instinct – Grants us scaling bonus Damage and Armor based on our missing Health.

Gear & Gear Stats/Rolls:

The FULL SET used is Corsair’s Panache, we use all 8 Pieces of that one for the 3 and 5 piece bonuses of +10% & +15% Damage Bonus to Elites bonus (a total of 25%). The 8 pieces set bus is what makes this build so great as it gives: Critical Hits on Elites have a +50% chance of dropping Healing Stamina or Ultimate Fragments. Keep in mind that some affixes/stats can roll twice on the same piece of equipment so where it says 2x STAT below it means that I recommend using an item that has that stat rolled twice on it.

Also keep in mind that this build does not need the stamina related bonuses as much as my Cattie-Brie build did but the alternatives are stacking certain resistances and I still prefer more max stamina, stamina regen & stamina cost reduction over resistances, BUT you may prefer to stack a specific type of resistance if farming content that uses only that type of dmg.

Attribute Points:

The main stats we’re MAXing out (investing into until you can no longer do so) are STR and INT for Physical and Elemental DMG. The remaining points you can either dump into CHA (my preferred) for Ultimate regeneration or into CON for HP & Stamina related boosts.

This concludes my HAMMERNADO Build for Wulfgar in Dark Alliance. I’ll be making more of those for each hero in the coming days/week.

The Dungeons & Dragons Dark Alliance aRPG developed by Tuque Games released on June 22nd 2021 for PlayStation, XBOX & PC (both Steam & the Microsoft Store) and is also available for both the XBOX & PC via the XBOX Game Pass. The game got shredded by the reviews on Steam for many reasons but after playing it for over 60 hours I can say that it’s not as bad as people make it out to be. It’s true that there are a lot of things that seem unpolished with the co-op and there are a some badly designed features (such as the looting mechanic that only rewards at the end of a mission), however, there is a lot of fun to be had while playing the game.
