Quick Links
The Druid inDiablo 4is always one of the most preferred builds to use, and in Season 5, despite some of the other classes having some great options, that still seems to be the case. Finding agood Endgame build for the Druidwill be the ultimate goal, as you want something that can quickly take out most enemies. In this case, you are going to want to look for agreat Landslide buildthat can get to the end of the game.
Class builds for Season 5 inDiablo 4are many and varied, and you’re able to takemany different options. While the build that is about to be suggested has been proven capable, at the end of the day, there is some amount of personal preference. It is, however, very fun and isbuilt to take advantage of the Earthbreaker interaction with Nature’s Fury.
Best Endgame Landslide Druid Build
Use Earthbreaker & Nature’s Fury
This build has been showcased or modified by avariety of different content creators andDiablo 4players. For this purpose, we are basing the build off of YouTuberGoblin Inc.’sbuild, which was further expanded on byRob2648 on the D4Builds site. Both emphasizemany of the same traits and gear, and both are trusted sources of content for the game.
Diablo 4 Player Does The Impossible, Deals “Infinite Damage”
An especially talented Diablo 4 player shows off how to break the game by using a unique glitch to dish out an infinite amount of damage.
The main goal of this build is tocombine Earthbreaker with Nature’s Fury, which together can cause the Landslides to also proxy Nature’s Fury. You will be able to get Lightning Storm to doboth Earth and Storm skills with this interaction, which greatly increases its damage with the right skills.
This is important becauseall bonuses that affect one will affect the other when it is used in its Nature’s Fury form. Depending on if you are mainly playing Hordes, Dungeons, or specific bosses, you may switch some things around, as specific builds are good for different things. However, the heart of this build will remain the same, with afairly balanced design for Endgame content.
It is suggested that as you learn this build, you also learn how to make thosesmall but necessary changesfor different types of gameplay. If you are nearing the Endgame, it is likely you have the skills to do so.
However, the one thing you must have for this build to work is theAscetic Wraps and the Earthbreaker ring, as that is what enables you to take advantage of these bonuses. Without it, you will not be able to do the things you want.
Weapons & Gear For The Landslide Druid Build
Getting The Equipment
There are a lot ofpossible weapons and gear types for any build at this point in time, but you will want to find the ones that most naturally suit the Landslide playstyle. Notably, none of these are thenew Season 5 aspects inDiablo 4. The suggested equipment is listed in the table below:
Aspect of the Aftershock
Ring 2
Earthbreaker
The equipped skills that you should be using are the ones that are most crucial. This is becauseLandslide is one of them, along with other ways to use your skills with Earthbreaker.
As for gems, you are going to want to look for thebest ones you have that increase weapon critical damageas well as resistance for the armor and jewelry. This will ensure you aretaking a lot less damagewhile also dealing much more in return.
Skill Tree Upgrades For The Landslide Druid Build
Landslide Skills & Bonuses
The skills that both Goblin Inc and Rob2628 suggest revolve around thisidea of earth and sky damage. Landslide should take the enhanced version, but you do not need the two upgrades beyond that. You are looking for things that willtrigger off of Nature’s Fury and give you additional damage; things that do not do so will not help you.
Claw
1
This allows you to shapeshift into a Werewolf and do claw damage to an enemy for 28% damage.
Lightning Storm
5
This allows you to conjure a lightning storm that deals X amount of damage per strike. Your strikes can increase the longer the storm is active to a maximum of 5. X is dependent on your other skills and bonuses. In this example, with the suggested items, you should be around 104%.
Enhanced Lighting Storm
The size of your Lightning Storm can be preserved for 6 seconds following you channeling it.
Landslide
This does physical damage by crushing enemies with four pillars of earth. In this example, it should be doing around 140% damage.
Enhanced Landslide
After a Landslide damages enemies 4 times, the next hit will immobilize those enemies for 3 seconds.
Blood Howl
This one also shifts you into a werewolf, this time healing you for X of your Maximum Life. X should equal around 20% in this build.
Enhanced Blood Howl
This reduces your Cooldown for Blood Howl by 1 second after a kill.
Preserving Blood Howl
This allows Blood Howl to not only heal you but also increase your Attack Speed by 15% for 4 seconds.
This first set of skills includes the crucial piece,Landslide, and players may be surprised that you do not max out the rank. However, since you depend on using the skill through Nature’s Fury,putting points elsewhere makes more sense.
Cyclone Armor
This is a passive skill that makes powerful winds surround you, which gives you a damage reduction. However, it is also an active skill that knocks back enemies and deals X damage to them. X should equal 30% damage.
Earthen Bulwark
This causes rocks to surround you for 3 seconds, giving you a barrier that will absorb damage equal to X of your Maximum Life. X should be around 45%.
Ancestral Fortitude
You gain X resistance to All Elements. X should equal around 5%.
Vigilance
3
You gain X Damage Reduction for 6 seconds after using a Defensive Skill. X should equal around 21%.
Nature’s Reach
Deal X increased damage to Distant enemies. You can double this bonus if the enemies are also Slowed, Stunned, Immobilized, or Knocked Back. X = 15%.
Mending

Crushing Earth
Earth skills deal X increased damage to Slowed, Stunned, Immobilized, or Knocked Back enemies. X should be around 5%.
Safeguard
Critical Strikes with Earth Skills fortify you for X Maximum Life. X should be around 2%.
Stone Guard
While you have fortify for over 50% of your Maximum Life, your Earth Skills deal X increased damage. X is 12%.
Earthen Bulwarkis another crucial piece of this puzzle. It is another Earth Skill that keeps you from being damaged.
Elemental Exposure
This gives you Lucky Hit, which gives your Storm Skills a 10% chance to make enemies Vulnerable for 1 second.
Endless Tempest
Increases the duration of Hurricane and Cataclysm by X. X should equal 15%.
Envenom
Poisoned enemies take X additional critical strike damage. X should be around 30%.
Cataclysm
A massive storm follows you for 10 seconds. Twisters Knock Back enemies, and lightning strikes wildly, dealing 95% damage.

Nature Magic skills deal X increased damage to Elites. X is around 12% damage.

Defensive Posture
2
Increases the amount of fortify you gain from all sources by X, and you gain Y Damage Reduction while fortified. X should equal 10% and Y 6%.
Quickshift
When you are using a shapeshifting skill in a different form, it deals X increased damage. When Shapeshifting into a new animal form, you deal X damage for 3 seconds, up to Y. X is 3%, and Y is 24%.
Heightened Sense
When Shapeshifting into an animal form, Werebear grants X Damage Reduction, and Werewolf grants X Movement Speed for 6 seconds. Bonuses are doubled while both are active. X should be 9%; Y should be 6%.
Nature’s Fury
Casting an Earth Skill has a 35% chance of triggering a free Storm Skill of the same category and vice versa. These free skills count as both elements.
Again, while these are the suggested skills, players can alwaysdecide what to take based on their situation. You may need to swap something out byrespec-ing your skills inDiablo 4for a particularly picky boss or toincrease your damage in a horde fight. Play around, and do not be afraid to experiment with what works best for you.
