Patch 8 added Tavern Brawler damage to attacks: a whopping +16 per attack as a Cloud Giant, 3 attacks at level 10, plus the Stunning Flail of the Air Myrmidon shapeshift. You don't even need to gear the druid — just 1 drink and start smacking.

Why It Works

Patch 8 finally added the damage from Tavern Brawler to attacks. That is a WHOPPING +16 damage per attack with a Cloud Giant, not to mention 3× attacks at level 10. Throw in the Stunning Flail of the Air Myrmidon shapeshift. GG.

You do not even need to gear your druid — just 1 drink and start smacking.

Combat Pattern

  1. Shapeshift — Cloud Giant (or the Stunning Flail of the Air Myrmidon form).
  2. Three attacks at level 10, each with the +16 Tavern Brawler damage.
  3. Bonus points: throw a Spike Growth down and have your victims running around on it, sucking up all the additional damage from Tavern Brawler (no, I’m not joking, try it).

Honour Mode Reminders

  • Spike Growth + Tavern Brawler is the sleeper interaction — victims moving through it stack the extra damage.
  • Alert for initiative; 17 CON + shapeshifting forms carry the durability.
