The druid is a savage shapeshifter in Diablo 4, able to transform between a werewolf, werebear, and human form to unleash powerful nature-based attacks on the forces of the Burning Hell. They have access to a variety of damage types, from melee and ranged combat, and are incredibly versatile in their build options. With a unique class mechanic, powerful ultimate skills, and legendary aspects, the Diablo 4 druid is a great choice for any player.
Class Mechanic
The druid has a chance to deal with crushing blows with any earth skills, reducing the enemy's life by a flat percentage of their total health. This effect is reduced against bosses and other players.
Basic Skills
Earth Spike, Shred, Storm Strike, Wind Shear, and Maul are the basic skills used by the druid to generate spirit and fill in gaps in their damage.
Core Skills
Three main core skills are used by the druid. Pulverize, where you shapeshift and do a werebear slam to deal damage to nearby enemies; Landslide, where you crush enemies between three pillars of the earth, dealing damage; and Tornado, where you conjure a vortex that moves outwards and curves in a random direction dealing damage every second.
Defensive Skills
The druid's defensive skills include Cyclone Armor, which is a passive effect that provides physical damage reduction and a chance to knock enemies back; Earthen Borer, which creates rocks around you for three seconds, making you unstoppable and absorbing damage; Trample, which allows you to rush forward as a werebear, dealing damage and stunning enemies; Debilitating Roar, which shapeshifts you into a werebear and bellows with ferocity, reducing nearby enemies' attack speed; and Ravenous Bite, which shapeshifts you into a werewolf to tear an enemy's flesh, dealing damage and healing you.
Companion Skills
Wolves, Ravens, and Vine Creeper are the unique companion skills used by the druid. Wolves summon two wolves that are under your direct control and passively fight with you during combat. Ravens have two effects: a passive effect where the ravens fly above you attacking nearby enemies, and an active effect where you target a certain area for heavy damage over 6 seconds. Vine Creeper periodically emerges from the ground and poisons a nearby target enemy for damage over time, but you can activate it to strangle enemies in a targeted area, poisoning them for damage over 6 seconds and stunning them.
Mastery Skills
Hurricanes, Boulders, and Cataclysm are the powerful AoE abilities used by the druid to control the battlefield. Hurricanes form a storm around you that deals damage to nearby enemies over 8 seconds; Boulders unearth a large rolling boulder that knocks back enemies and crushes them, dealing damage with each hit; and Cataclysm summons a massive storm that follows you around for 10 seconds, summoning tornadoes and lightning strikes for severe damage.
Ultimate Skills
Grizzly Rage, Petrify, and Cataclysm is the druid's ultimate skills. Grizzly Rage allows you to shape-shift into a werebear for 5 seconds and gain new werebear abilities and skills, as well as generate spirit 28% faster and become unstoppable. Petrify petrifies all nearby enemies, stunning them for 5 seconds and dealing additional damage. Finally, Cataclysm is a massive storm that follows you around for 10 seconds, summoning tornadoes and lightning strikes for severe damage.
Legendary Aspects
The druid has access to a variety of legendary aspects, divided into defensive, offensive, and utility. Defensive aspects include the Aspect of Cyclonic Force, Aspect of Mending Stone, Skin Walker's Aspect, and Vigorous Aspect. Offensive aspects include Crashed Stone Aspect, Night Howler's Aspect, Overcharged Aspect, and Shepherds Aspect. Utility aspects include the Ballistic Aspect, Quicksand Aspect, Storm Shifters Aspect, and Aspect of the Unsatiated.
Overall, the druid is an incredibly versatile and powerful class in Diablo 4, with access to a variety of damage types, strong build options, and powerful abilities. If you're looking for a class with plenty of versatility, the druid may be the perfect fit for you.
