Related Druid class guides
Before we discuss the Diablo 4 best Druid builds, let’s talk about various concepts about the class, as well as related mechanics. We’ve listed several guide topics below:
Leveling build
Our leveling guide for the Druid comes from experience while playing the beta. We made use of several Werebear-related abilities:
Active skills
- Maul: Wild
- Pulverize: Primal
- Debilitating Roar: Preserving
- Ravens: Ferocious
- Trample: Savage
- Grizzly Rage: Supreme
Passive skills
- Predatory Instinct
- Iron Fur
- Mending
- Call of the Wild
- Ursine Strength
Alternate leveling to mid-game: Companion Druid
Another option among the Diablo 4 best Druid builds heavily relies on animal companions. Creatures such as Wolves and Ravens will attack foes aggressively, while your Poison Creeper provides huge AoE benefits. Moreover, you can cast Storm Strike and Tornado for their crowd control use, which will proc various effects (i.e. additional damage dealt).
Active skills
- Storm Strike (1/5): Wild
- Tornado: Primal
- Earthen Bulwark (1/5): Preserving
- Wolves: Brutal
- Poison Creeper: Brutal
- Ravens (1/5): Brutal
Passive skills
- Predatory Instinct
- Ancestral Fortitude
- Nature’s Reach
- Call of the Wild
- Neurotoxin
- Envenom
- Defiance
- Natural Disaster
- Defensive Posture
- Perfect Storm
Spirit Animal Boons
- Deer: Wariness
- Eagle (bonded): Scythe Talons and Avian Wrath
- Wolf: Packleader
- Snake: Overload
Werebear Pulverize Druid
One of the best Diablo 4 Druid builds essentially continues from where we left off in the leveling build, where we focused on being a Werebear. Apart from extra HP and toughness, your abilities become even more devastating. However, do note trying this build for the endgame makes it heavily reliant on certain Unique items. For instance, Insatiable Fury makes it so that the Werebear form is your true form, while granting +2 ranks to all related abilities. Meanwhile, Vasily’s Prayer changes all Earth Skills to Werebear skills, too.
Active skills
- Earth Spike (1/5): Fierce
- Pulverize: Primal
- Debilitating Roar (1/5): Preserving
- Earthen Bulwark (1/5): Preserving
- Grizzly Rage: Supreme
Passive skills
- Heart of the Wild (1/3)
- Abundance
- Wild Impulses
- Predatory Instinct
- Iron Fur
- Ancestral Fortitude (1/3)
- Nature’s Reach
- Crushing Earth
- Safeguard
- Stoneguard
- Defiance
- Natural Disaster
- Resonance
- Earthen Might
Spirit Animal Boons
- Deer: Wariness
- Eagle: Scythe Talons or Avian Wrath (if you already have high crit chance)
- Wolf: Calamity
- Snake (bonded): Obsidian Slam and Calm Before the Storm
That does it for the best Druid builds in Diablo 4. We’ll continue to add more details as we grind and loot throughout the rest of the endgame.
