I havent updated in a while most of them are pretty similar +- I think.Scorpsin t10 viable, downtier adjudicator and ied palazon to t6. I would probably add Physical Bear druid t10 viable, Warlock t9/t10 viable, Bloodzon t9/t10 viable, EQ barb t8 viable. These are the builds that did well on HC this and the last few seasons since i last updated it.

How to summon the Bear with Physical Druid? Melee Devotion disable summon skills.

If that is not possible, wich should i pick? The Devotion, or the Bear?

You need to max the bear to gain access to primal bond. I think its 400 ewd now when at max points and max minion resistance iirc. Before i think it was 800 ewd with a very generous minion resistance scaling.

Oh i get it, it's not about the bear then, it is about primal bond.

So, with that reduced ewd compared to before, do you still think does it worth the investment? Or should i level something else? Maybe Rend?

You probably want some points in rend now but after the changes to the hit box and hit count of rend. I dont think i would choose phys bear because its farming capabilities took quite a hit imo.
