Best Druid endgame build

Once you’ve seen the ending of Diablo 4, reached level 50, and entered the endgame, you may decide to switch to an endgame build, one more suited to your next set of tasks. This is completely optional, but if you do choose to change, here’s one of the best endgame builds in the current meta.

Remember, you’ll need to respec your points into new skills, but the below table will tell you which order to apply them, but it’s largely up to you how closely you follow it.

Here’s one of the best endgame Druid builds in Diablo 4 Season 4 currently, the Werewolf Tornado Druid:
