As always, the arrival of Diablo 4 Season 4 Loot Reborn brought a ton of new meta, which also affected many classes and builds to a certain extent. In the process, Werenado Tornado Druid build came into being and gradually climbed to the top of the weekly leaderboard.
In fact, this S-Tier build has long been circulated among the player community, and if you use it properly, it will help you get through the end of the season easily.
This build focuses on Werenado play style, where players transform into bears or wolves and release devastating Tornado to destroy enemies. The build uses various buffs and deals a lot of damage to easily deal with the hardest content in the game.
Each season in Diablo 4 usually has different activities and different builds that are better than others. And Werenado Druid, as one of the new builds in this season, can deal a lot of damage and overcome challenges. By perfecting this build, you will reap all the rewards of this season and put those long-coveted Uniques in your pocket.
Build Core Mechanics
First, let’s talk about how to get Werenado Tornado Druid build to its full potential.
Wildheart Hunger Unique boots are a vital part of this build. These boots reduce your cooldowns and provide a massive damage boost. However, what makes them even better is that when your Druid transforms into Werewolf form, you gain Wildheart that lasts for 5 seconds.
Wildheart gives you a damage buff every 2 seconds and allows it to stack. This alone gives you a massive damage boost that can crush challenging bosses in a matter of seconds.
Additionally, Legendary weapon, Shepherd’s Parashu, is also necessary for this build, as it gives your Tornado Damage a chance to cast twice, and adds its own Willpower and Damage boosts. This means you’ll most likely be summoning a Tornado Storm in Werewolf form, doubling the damage.
Finally, Thunderstruck Legendary Node provides a massive damage boost to Storm Skills. All of this combined will boost your total damage to almost 8 times your normal damage.
I should remind you that you need Tempest Roar for this build to work so you can keep transforming. But if you have the extra Diablo 4 Gold to get the other parts available, you can deal a lot of AOE damage and easily tear through enemies with your Tornado.
Best Equipment
While the above legendary gear is the most important, the other parts that deal a little extra damage also make a difference. Here is a list of other items you can get:
- Helm: Tempest Roar
- Chest Armor: Vigorous Aspect
- Gloves: Stormchaser’s Aspect
- Pants: Tibault’s Will
- Boots: Wildheart Hunger
- Weapon: Shepherd’s Parashu
- Amulet: Aspect of Retaliation
- Ring: Aspect of the Stampede & Accelerating Aspect
If you want to make the build work, you should also equip 3 pets like Ravens, Poison Creeper, and Wolves, as well as a set of skills: Trample, Petrify, and Tornado. As for gems, you just need to focus on the damage and extra HP they provide.
Also, invest in the best gear you can get, but don’t worry too much about upgrading your armor if you have the gear listed above. With these items, you should be able to reach your maximum potential and will be close to the upper limit of certain stats for this build.
Skill Tree
For the skill tree, many of Werenado Tornado Druid’s skills revolve around Shapeshifting skill upgrades, as well as an upgrade or two for your pet. Most importantly, Wild Impulses should be fully upgraded, doing so will ensure that your Storm and Shapeshifting magics play a significant role. Additionally, many of the skill tree choices in Diablo 4 will give you a boost when you are in Werewolf or Werebear form.
We start by investing 1 point into Poison Creeper to passively summon 1 Poison Creeper. Then we invest 1 point into Enhanced Poison Creeper, Brutal Poison Creeper to increase the critical strike chance of enemies affected by Poison Creeper.
Similarly, investing 1 point into Ravens can damage enemies when they fly over them. Additionally, 2 points into Elemental Exposure, Storm Skills have a chance to make enemies vulnerable.
Additionally, 1 point into Trample will instantly transform us into a Werebear. Invest 1 point each in Enhanced Trample and Natural Trample, which do 150% more damage and 20% Maximum Life as Fortify.
The 3 points in Natural Disaster will make Earth and Storm Skills do more damage against certain enemies. And 3 points in Quickshift, which will do more damage when Shapeshifting skill transforms you.
Finally, add 1 point in Bestial Rampage to increase attack speed as a Werewolf and more damage as a Werebear.
Paragon Board
Like I mentioned before, the most important part of Paragon Board for this build is Thunderstruck Legendary Node. It is the core part of this build and will improve all of these Storm Skills. Among them, the other nodes you want to activate are: Werewolf, Earth and Sky, Fang and Claw, Outmatch, Exploit, and Spirit.
Put all of this together and you should be ready for anything the new season throws at you. Trust me, Werenado build will help you clear all enemies in the endgame with its violent whirlwind.
