1. Introduction to Petrify Druid Build
The Petrify Druid build is one of the strongest builds in the PTR.
Utilizes the Ribault's Ettin Touch season power to use Petrify infinitely.
It's important to secure as much cooldown reduction as possible.
The Eternal General pulls Petrify's cooldown through Stormcaller's Boon.
Infinite Petrify is possible against bosses, and Stormcaller's Boon is used in trash mob sections.
2. Build Mechanics and Skill Usage
A simple mechanic of pressing Petrify and using Ribault's.
Utilize armor and defensive measures (Hurricane Armor, Aspect of the Blurred Beast, Rabies, Earthen Bulwark).
Use the Pig Sticker if the cooldown isn't up.
3. Boss Fight Operation
Use infinite Petrify in boss fights.
You can check specific damage levels.
4. Importance of Attack Speed Limit
If the attack speed is too fast, the best Petrify effect may not be properly applied.
It's crucial to keep the attack speed below 100%.
This may only be a problem during the PTR.
