Diablo 4 - Druid Build Guide

gamespot.com:

The Druid needs to make use of different damage types and animals to have a shot in Diablo 4.

By Joey Carr on

The Druid is an intriguing class in the Diablo 4 beta. While players are enamored with the idea of transforming into a werebear or summoning wolves on command, the class has been proven to not be nearly as strong as the other classes. Druids can make use of elemental damage, such as lightning, poison, and earth, but players have found it difficult to create much synergy among these damage types.

If you've been struggling to create your Druid build in a harmonious and impactful way, then fear not, as we have put together an entire build for the class. Keep in mind, though, that the developers could easily buff the Druid and its other skills before the full game launches in June.

Our Druid build opts for a mix of defensive and AoE skills, allowing your character to deal a ton of damage at the start of a fight and then increase damage reduction while you wait for your cooldowns. Of course, we have chosen some skills that make use of the Druid's shapeshifting abilities, as that's the most enjoyable aspect of the class.

Below, you can see the six skills we have chosen from each skill tree branch for the Druid and what upgrades we would give the skills. These are based on the 25 levels from the Diablo 4 beta. To see every single one of the Druid's available skills, you can read our full guide.
