Anyone has an Earth Cataclysm Full Build? Build Help / Discussion

I had been theory crafting something that plays with Tectonic Spikes / Earth Cataclysm, basically turning Cat into Earth + Storm skill to receive multiple bonuses from both.

Ended up finding this build here, rank 21 right now on Druid, ModalSoul, at tier 130. It is the highest ranked build that is not Wolf-based. It is quite an interesting build as it uses boards from both natures (thunderstruck + earthearn devastation), it uses Mjonic + Might of the Ursine + Fractured Stone, and also uses Natural balance on the 2H weapon, so basically checks everything I used to like on the old Nature's Fury builds, getting both Earth and Storm to function together.

Plus it uses the OP charm (Old Mountain). While the charm itself can be used by any builds, making cat earth just makes everything easier.

Really interested in such a full build, anyone has one or understands better the concepts behind it, such as how to get overpower (it does use Dominate), why is the boulder there, if ferocity plays a big part in the build or only resolute, and if Cataclysm is the main damage dealer in this build indeed (probably from the gear and setup it is, but I might be missing something).

I haven't played since season 10 so still trying to catchup to all the changes. Thanks!

Turbine's loot table is a joke. Not worth the effort at all. Those who ever kill one, will do it once and never again.

This whole expedition/season I haven't touched a Queen or Matriarch. There is simply no reason to. Arc loot is not even worth it for projects anymore: new project has terrible rewards.

Making Arc hunting more profitable would even balance out PvP, giving endgame players something to do. Would also make top weapons viable.

If you solo a Queen right now, you get a max of 200K worth of loot, and that's being lucky. If you split that with the 4 rats that will loot as well, that is already 40K. A naked run to Assembly grants you 80K in 5-10min consistently. There is no reason to kill a queen, as there is no reason to craft a legendary weapon since there is no Arc worth using them. And not only considering money: bigger Arc should drop Exodus Modules, Advanced Components, Processors, things that people actually farm.

A Turbine, Bastion or Vaporizer... well, it's even disrepectful to think about their loot lol. Love the game, but this needs a fix, period.
