Best Diablo 4 Druid Builds in Server Slam¶

The main thing to look for in the Druid builds for Server Slam is the builds that offer the player the most direct upfront damage with little work. The reason why is because lots of the Druid legendaries are very ultimate skill dependent, and also allow you to transform either lightning or earth skills into Werewolf or Werebear skills.You simply wont get access to these in Server Slam, not to mention you physically cannot access your class mechanic, the Druid’s Spirit Animal Boon buffs. So, the Druid is going to be very weak in Server Slam. But, that’s not to say there are not some very good builds.

Best Druid Builds in Diablo 4 Ranked¶

1. Landslide: This build relies on using Companions to generate Terramotes, apply status effects, and gain Crit and Vuln. With enough Terramotes, you can unleash a powerful Landslide from your core skills, which serves as your main nuking skill. This build provides excellent burst damage for boss fights and passive lightning melee attacks for clearing mobs. Currently, it’s the top-performing Druid build and requires minimal investment, especially from harder to get ultimate skills or legendary effects. This is likely the best Druid build in Diablo 4 for leveling and the Server Slam weekend. Don’t forget to take Storm Strike as your basic skill, as the cleave is important, more than you need for the stun or fortify buffs from Earth Spike.
2. Overpower WereBear: The Bear is one of the tankiest builds in the game and provides easy access to overpower burst windows. While it’s safe to use early on, it’s not very effective due to its low time to kill. However, later in the game, you can convert some earth skills into bear skills for better burst AOE options and single-target damage, similar to how the Storm Beast gets access to Storm skills. This build is more focused on the late season and requires significant resource investment.
3. Nature Strike: The Nature core skills are very underwhelming, with Lightning Storm being one of the worst damageing core skills in the game with serious weapons strength and legendary upgrades. Tornados are not too bad, but requires positioning to utilize properly, as their pathing is random, which is not ideal for mob clearing really. However, pairing it with Storm Strike makes it a decent tool for AOE and pack clearing if you want that natures wrath playstyle.
4. Crit Werewolf: Crit Werewolf is an okay build, however, you don’t have access to the Werewolf ultimate skill, which is what ramps your crit, especially its upgrade nodes. So, the crit werewolf playstyle is rather broken and doesn’t work for Server Slam. However, you can still get Crit and Vuln amp via the companions, which are buffed. So, you can play the crit Companion builds and still see some effectiveness, it will just be very broken in a bad way.
5. Storm Beast: The Storm Beast build heavily relies on legendary items, which convert some storm skills into werewolf skills. By utilizing the Werewolf crit buffs, you can deal massive lightning cleave crits and benefit from lightning-themed spells. This build requires patience and resources to achieve its full potential, but it’s worth it when you can see the power of single target and AOE crits.

Note, if you do manage to get some decent legendaries for core skills, then other builds may become stronger to play. The main ranking factor for server slam is that the best Druid Builds in Diablo 4 are the ones that offer the best kit synergy and better base damage via naturally skill upgrades, largely thanks to the limited time, level restrictions, and lowered legendary chances.
