The Druid Skills give them a few very distinct playstyles, allowing them to fight in either melee or ranged style. Their mastery of nature shows in their tiers — you will gain more powerful attacks and spells the further you go down their Skill Tree. The Defensive tier will give the Druid a few options to keep themselves healthy, while the Companion tier will give them minions to fight alongside them.
The Mount Skill is Pummel. It allows them Shapeshift into a Werebear as they leap from their mount and slam the ground, dealing 180% damage and Knocking Down enemies hit for 2.5 seconds.
Tips
- All damage Skills will deal either Physical, Lightning, or Poison damage.
- In Diablo 4 there are no shapeshifting Skills that permanently transform you into Werebear or a Werewolf. Instead, they will shift you into the form for a few seconds automatically, before you revert to human form.
- All Skills (besides the ones in the Ultimate tier) will have an Enhancement and two Upgrades.
- Only one Upgrade per Skill can be chosen, and the Enhancement must be learned first.
Best Druid Skills
Once you reach level 50 in Diablo 4, it’s time to figure out your Build, and the first step in that is determining what Skills you want to focus on. Your Skills will determine which weapons and armor you will want to go for, as well as what your rotation and approach will be, so picking the right set can be important.
While some Skills will be for specific Builds (and will often become their focus), other Skills are a staple for just about every Druid.
