Rage of the Bear God

Rage of the Bear God

Human melee build that leverages a bear, rage, and critical hits for damage. Effective and thoroughly tested under normal difficulty.

Obtain the Iron Will feat at level 5 to mitigate dangerous Will failures, and the Blind Fight feat at level 17 for infamous endgame shenanigans. All other feat choices are dedicated towards dual wielding, critical, and Beast Totem. Although the Greater Two-Weapon Fighting feat is unlocked at level 11, you are unable to achieve the 19 Dexterity requirement without the Cat’s Grace spell, as a Belt of Incredible Dexterity +4 is unavailable until reaching the Goblin Village. If your situation is different, adjust the order of feat acquisition between levels 11 to 15.

Equip scimitars in your main hand, with Thundering Claw of the Bear God as the ultimate prize. Equip a light weapon in your offhand, prioritizing options that confer secondary effects, such as Lightning Duelist, Arcane Protector, Chilly Midnight, and Edict.
