Landslide Druid build is highly regarded in Diablo 4 Season 5 for its amazing damage to single-target enemies. This guide will cover how to pick skills, gear, aspects, and Glyphs to fully utilize Landslide Druid build in Season 5.
Landslide Druid Leveling Build
To level up a Landslide Druid from level 1 to level 50 and maximize its potential, players should follow the correct order to use skill points and Renown points to unlock skills.
Whether players participate in the campaign while leveling up, you will be able to effectively deal with large numbers of enemies. This is mainly because of core skills such as Landslide, Wind Shear, and Trample, which are key to dealing large amounts of damage. Druid also has defensive skills such as Blood Howl, which can not only restore health but also summon venomous snakes to deal additional damage to enemies.
Petrify is a powerful Ultimate that can control the battlefield and significantly increase Critical Strike Damage through Stuns and Petrifies.
In addition, Diablo 4 also provides a rich selection of passive skills to help players enhance survivability and damage output while leveling up. Players can also use Diablo 4 Gold to upgrade equipment in Season 5, and then shorten the time required to reach level 50 by properly allocating skill points and taking advantage of rewards provided by seasonal activities.
Spirit Boons For Leveling
The following Spirit Boons are recommended choices for Landslide Druid Leveling Build:
- Wolf: Pack Leader — This is the first Spirit Boon that should be obtained. It gives Critical Strikes a chance to reset the cooldown of Companion Skills, which is very important for frequent use of Companion Skills such as Poison Creeper.
- Deer: Advantageous Beast — Increases Movement Speed and Impairment Reduction, providing Druid with better mobility and survivability.
- Eagle: Swooping Attacks, Avian Wrath — Increases Critical Strike Damage and Swooping Attacks respectively, increasing your Attack Speed.
- Snake: Calm Before the Storm — Gives your Nature Magic Skills a slight chance to reduce Ultimate Skill Cooldown, which is very helpful for using powerful Ultimate Skills such as Petrify more quickly.
Unlocking these Spirit Boons in the unlock order provided above can significantly improve the combat efficiency and survivability of Landslide Druid Leveling.
Leveling Rotation
You should first use Poison Creeper, which can cause continuous Poison damage to enemies and create an environment in the field that has a control effect on the enemy. Then use Wind Shear to make the enemy vulnerable and prepare for the next series of heavy attacks. After the enemy’s defenses are weakened by Wind Shear, use Landslide to perform a high-damage strike while continuing to maintain control of the enemy.
For the remaining enemies, use Petrify to increase your Critical Strike Damage and immobilize them, which helps to clear the battlefield. Follow up with Trample, which can boost your offensive power through this skill while generating necessary Spirit. If your health is low, use Blood Howl to heal yourself and deal continuous damage to enemies through its additional effects.
By cycling through the above skills, you can effectively control the battlefield while maximizing your damage output and survivability.
Landslide Druid Endgame Build
Once you have reached the endgame phase of Diablo 4 and start working on completing Of Lambs and Wolves questline, you can convert the previous leveling build into a build suitable for the endgame. This endgame build does not change much in terms of active skills, but includes some key adjustments to enhance effectiveness:
Storm Strike, as a Basic Skill, can help you generate Spirit and apply Immobilize effect to enemies, making it an important tool for controlling the battlefield.
Lightning Storm is no longer a permanent fixture in your hotbar, but will now automatically trigger under certain conditions through Nature’s Fury Passive, adding flexibility and surprise factor to your use of the skill.
Earthen Bulwark provides a protective barrier, increasing your defensive capabilities and helping you stay alive in the heat of battle.
Passive Skills
While there aren’t many new Passives in Landslide Druid Endgame Build, several of them are essential for improving combat effectiveness. For example, Quickshift grants you increased damage output while Shapeshifting, especially when you use Blood Howl, which greatly enhances your offensive capabilities.
Natural Disaster enhances your Earth Skills, causing them to deal more damage and making enemies more vulnerable. Additionally, Natural Disaster allows your Storm Skills to deal additional damage against controlled enemies, further leveraging your control skills to increase your output.
Spirit Boons For Endgame
- Deer: Wariness
- Eagle: Iron Feather OR Swooping Attacks, Avian Wrath
- Wolf: Pack Leader
- Snake: Calm Before the Storm
Druid’s Spirit Boons configuration in the endgame stage does not change much compared to Leveling Build. The key is to make some targeted adjustments to adapt to the higher difficulty challenges. In the endgame stage, Deer will reduce the damage from Elites that are always present in the game. This adjustment helps to enhance your survivability against powerful enemies.
For some specific activities, such as light Nightmare Dungeons or Pit, it is recommended to switch Spirit Boons of Swooping Attacks to Iron Feather. The chief advantage of Iron Feather is that it can significantly increase your maximum health.
Avian Wrath is still an important Spirit Boon because it can significantly increase your Critical Strike Damage. Meanwhile, Pack Leader is retained, as it gives your Critical Strikes a chance to reset Companion Skill Cooldowns.
Finally, Calm Before the Storm is retained as a helpful Spirit Boon, as it gives your Nature Magic Skills a chance to reduce Ultimate Cooldown.
