Once your character reaches level 50, you can use the Paragon progression system, which offers you access to a multitude of talents for the Earthen Bulwark Detonation build. It is encouraged to prioritize Normal and Magic Nodes over other nodes when considering factors like Damage, Intelligence, Resistance, and Life. The impact of Ghyphs grows with each level you reach. As a result, we do not advise allocating more nodes if you are unable to comply with the requirements. On the other side, if you don't have the required Glyph, you can use any other Glyph while you wait to get it.

Follow the way left, then climb the hill to the Glyph Socket, taking Tenacity for the Starter Board. Werewolf should be inserted into the Glyph Socket while utilizing neighboring Willpower nodes. Consider the rare nodes Resolve, Prime, and Impel. From Impel, ascend to the Inner Beast board attachment point, placing the Glyph Socket beneath the Legendary Node.

On behalf of the Inner Beast Board, toward the Glyph Socket as you ascend. Fill in surrounding Dexterity nodes by inserting Territorial into the Glyph Socket. Take Determination, then ascend and to the right to take Tenacity, and finally take any nearby Armor Magic Nodes. To take Nimble and all Attack Speed Magic Nodes, move left and up from the Glyph Socket. To attach the Heightened Malice board, go to the left and rotate it three times in the clockwise direction with the Glyph Socket on the bottom right.

The Earthen Bulwark Detonation build's primary method of doing damage is via igniting Innate Earthen Bulwark damage events by releasing a large amount of Earthen Bulwark. Following, there are some relevant factors to think about. When an Earthen Bulwark is recast while it is still in effect, your Barrier will be refreshed and a detonation will occur. A high Base Damage is possessed by Innate Earthen Bulwark. The typical multipliers, such as Critical Strike, Critical Strike Damage, Crowd Control and Poison enhancements, Earth or Nature-based boosts, and Critical Strike Damage, all increase its damage. A further multiplier that other Skills do not provide is added on top of all of those by Barrier Generation, which increases the damage.

Earthen Bulwark's detonation damage will increase thanks to Willpower and Quickshift because it is an active skill. Such factors as Earthguard Aspect or Weapon DPS are unaffected by Innate Earthen Bulwark. The Gear Affixes will be more significant than the weapon damage when determining a decent Greatstaff of the Crone. The damage done by Innate Earthen Bulwark does not depend on skill ranks for Earthen Bulwark. It is possible to commit too many Skill Points because Earthen Bulwark's maximum Barrier value is dependant on base life. This means that if you have a sufficient amount of barrier generation, Earthen Bulwark will let you flex skill points. Additionally, the Maximum Life Gear Affix won't increase the cap because of this.
