There is only about half a month left before the end of Diablo 4 Season 8, and you should be busy participating in the various events of the second anniversary celebration. In fact, if you have invested enough time before, the content of this season should have been almost completed.
But in addition, since Season 8 brings a lot of seasonal boss powers, and you can only equip 4 types in each battle, it is very likely that you have not had time to fully experience the power of all boss powers until now.
It is worth noting that in S8, these boss powers can be well integrated with your builds, or new builds can be crafted based on power, thereby improving your Diablo 4 gold farming efficiency, which will also help your anniversary event experience.
Based on this, this time we will take Druid class as a representative and introduce you to the build that is suitable for it with Urivar’s Lobbed Bombs as the core.
Urivar’s Lobbed Bombs Effects
As a rare boss power, Urivar’s Lobbed Bombs can only be obtained after you defeat Urivar on Torment difficulty. As for the specific effects, like all other boss powers, there are two types of modifier power and main power:
- Main power: After casting the ultimate skill, you can continue to throw 4 bombs, causing 2,800% fire damage to the enemy, and also gain 15% cooldown reduction.
- Modifier power: For each enemy killed, the utilize cooldown of the ultimate skill will be reduced by 0.58 seconds.
However, in order to obtain this power and loot such as gold or gear, you must also obtain 12 Judicator’s Masks as lair keys to open the boss hoard before starting the battle. The source of this item is Tree of Whispers, world bosses and mercenary bartering on Torment difficulty.
Other Boss Powers That Go With It
As you know, you can equip 4 boss powers in each battle in Season 8, so for this build, in addition to Urivar’s Lobbed Bombs (main power), the other three suitable modifier powers are:
- Avarice’s Explosive Ore: After activating the main boss power, consume all main resources, increasing the damage to the main power by 0.20% for every 1 resource consumption.
- Wandering Death’s Chest Beam: Causes the main boss power to instantly execute non-boss enemies with less than 25.0% health, and you will also gain 25 main resources after the execution.
- Hatred’s Embrace’s Haste: For every 1% bonus to Shadow Resistance gained, the critical strike chance will also increase by 5%, up to a maximum of 50.0%.

The uniqueness of this build is that it can fully utilize and show the role of boss power on the basis of this conventional builds operation form, making this build more reliable than ordinary Druid builds in S8.
What Are The Most Suitable Gear?
After determining the skills and all boss powers, the next thing to do is to match the gear for your Urivar Druid Build. Although many gears need to be farmed by bosses many times before they drop, as Season 8 is coming to an end, you as a Druid player should have obtained quite a few.
- Helm: Vasily’s Prayer
- Chest Armor: Shroud of False Death
- Totem: Virulent Totem
- Sword: Sword of Inner Calm
- Gloves: Vehement Brawler’s Gloves
- Pants: Stormshifter’s Pants
- Boots: Rakanoth’s Wake
- Amulet: Amulet of the Changeling’s Debt

With The Power Of Mercenaries
Since the mercenary mechanism was introduced in Diablo, it should have become your indispensable combat assistant. In fact, they can also be crafted as one of the elements in builds.
Among all the 4 mercenaries, the most suitable main mercenary for Urivar Druid is Varyana. Once you’ve chosen her, unlock her skill tree in the order of Cleave-Hysteria-Bloodthirst-Bloodlust. As for supporting mercenaries, Raheir’s skill Bastion can help.
Although this build is strictly for Season 8, its idea of using boss power can actually be used as a reference for all subsequent Diablo 4 seasons. Taking Season 9 as an example, the appropriate Horadric Spells may also help you craft new and unique Druid builds!
