Best Diablo 4 Druid builds for leveling, endgame & PvP in Season 4

Diablo 4‘s Druid is a force of nature that calls on the spirits of animals and the natural world to aid them in battle. Here are the best Druid builds for leveling, endgame, and PvP in Diablo 4 Season 4.

The Druid in Diablo 4 Season 4 is a returning class from the expansion of Diablo 2 and Diablo 2: Resurrected. While not as physically imposing as the Barbarian, the Druid is still a powerful melee fighter. Their main skills involve using the powers of nature to do their bidding.

The Druid is for players who want a strong and powerful battlemage, but one that also has some unique spells that can differentiate the class from the more standard casters. They can burn enemies with scorching spells, but just as easily turn into a werewolf and rip demons asunder with their claws.

However, there is more than one way to play as the Druid in Diablo 4, as the class comes with a variety of builds. Picking the right one for you is important if you’re going to survive the hordes of Hell.

Here are the best Druid builds in Diablo 4 in the current meta for leveling, endgame, and PvP during Season 4.

Spirit Boons

The Druid’s Spirit Boons are unique skills to them. For this build, select the following:

• Wolf Spirit: ‍Packleader
• Eagle Spirit: ‍Scythe Talons
• Snake Spirit: ‍Obsidian Slam
• Deer Spirit: ‍Wariness

Legendary Aspects

While there are many great Legendary Aspects in the Codex of Power that will help this build, there are three in particular that you need to prioritize for this build. Here’s what they are and where to find them:

• Umbral – (Champion’s Demise, Dry Steppes)
• ‍Quicksand – (Feral’s Den – Scosglen)
• Ursine Horror – (Belfry Zakara, Hawezar) – Combine with the above two Aspects for best results
• ‍Mending Stone – (Sealed Archives, Dry Steppes)
• ‍Changeling’s Debt – (Conclave, Kehjistan)
• ‍Ghostwalker – (Broken Bullwark, Scosglen)
• Disobedience – (Halls of the Damned, Kehjistan)

Each one will essentially buff your damage in various ways and make your build even more deadly.

We’d recommend not imprinting these Aspects on your weapons, as you’re likely to replace these many times on your Leveling journey. Instead, add offensive Aspects to your jewelry. This way, it can continue to serve you well into endgame.

Best Druid endgame build

Once you get past level 50 and have seen the ending of Diablo 4, things will ramp up as you’re pushed into the endgame. This means the build you used to reach this point may no longer be sufficient, and to make the most of the endgame content, you’ll need a build.

Remember, if you want to switch from the above leveling build to the below endgame build, you’ll need to respec your skill points. The below table will show you where to put them, but you’ll already have them unlocked and ready to be reallocated.

Here’s the best endgame Druid build in Diablo 4 Season 4, otherwise known as the Lightning Storm Druid, and the skills that need to respec to. 

Spirit Boons

The Druid’s Spirit Boons are unique skills to them. For this build, select the following:

• Dear Spirit – Wariness
• Eagle Spirit – Avain Wrath
• Wold Spirit – Calamity
• Snake Spirit – Masochistic

Select Eagle Spirt for your extra Boon with Iron Feather.

Paragon Board

At level 50 you’ll gain access to the Paragon Board to continue building your character to level 100. Here are the boards you need to focus on to maximize the potential of the best endgame Druid build:

Glyphs

Here are the Glyphs we’d recommend activating as your work through the Paragon board:

At Level 15:

• ‍Exploit
• ‍Earth and Sky
• ‍Territorial
• ‍Keeper
• ‍Spirit
• ‍Electrocution

From Level 21:

• Keeper
• ‍Earth and Sky
• ‍Territorial
• ‍Spirit
• ‍Electrocution
• ‍Exploit

Legendary Aspects

As this is an endgame build, it pays to unlock as many Legendary Aspects for the class as possible. Try to unlock these Aspects as soon as possible in Season 4 to take advantage of their buffs, as each will have its own use within an endgame build.

First, chase down the following Aspects:

• ‍Shepherd’s – Bloodsoaked Crag (Dry Steppes)
• ‍Retaliation – Seaside Descent (Dry Steppes)
• ‍Inner Calm – Raethwind Wilds (Scosglen)

You can acquire the following Unqiues from farming bosses in Season 4:
