Diablo 4: Druid Build Guide

Druids have returned to the world of Sanctuary in Diablo 4. With the ability to shapeshift into Werewolves or Werebears, strike with lightning and use the earth as a weapon, this class brings nature to the forefront of the battle against Lilith. While being a Werewolf all the time sounds amazing, a full Werewolf build isn’t the most viable in the endgame. Here are the most viable Diablo 4 Druid builds, however, whether your level 5, 25, or 95.

Best Druid Builds in Diablo 4

These are the best builds that you can start using as soon as you get into game as a Druid. While Storm Wolf Druid is the best endgame build, it’s reliance on Unique Items, including a highly sought after item, which are only available in World Tier 3 and 4, have excluded it from this guide.

The two builds that are covered are:

• Wolf Companion Druid
• Earthen Bear Druid

Diablo 4 Wolf Companion Druid Build

This build focuses on using all three companions to deal damage. With buffed up health and defense, you can sit back and wait out the fight until all your enemies are dead. The best way to play the build is to set up Poison Creeper early and follow up with Wolves, while using your Basic Attack to increase the chance of vulnerability of the mobs you hit. Use Earthen Bulwark for defense while your companions finish up the fight.

• Core: Predatory Instinct

Diablo 4 Earthen Bear Druid Build

If you just want to trample over your enemies as a Werebear, this is the build for you.

These Aspects boost your Earth abilities as well as your Trample, causing it to summon more Landslides. Aspect of the Trampled Earth is the best for this build, as it’s perfect for the combo you’ll be frequently using.
