Have you decided on a Druid class to purge all evils from Sanctuary in Diablo 4 after patch 1.1.1? Well, that's a very good choice. But those chunky boys have it kind of rough especially early without any uniques. So we’re here to recommend you the top 5 greatest D4 season 1 Druid endgame builds after patch 1.1.1 to progress to the content.


Top 5 Best Diablo 4 Season 1 Druid Builds - D4 1.1.1 Endgame Druid Build Guide

No.1 Thunder God

First up the best Diablo IV 1.1.1 best Druid build is Thunder God. Lightning Storm is an absolute favorite skill in the game due to its audio-visual feedback. It all was at a great level with does not require any uniques aspects to be played. You have incredible uptime on vulnerable which increases your damage, melts bosses, features insane AOE and the spirit sustain is also perfectly fine. The buffs to Cataclysm, as well as additional crit damage-based hearts in season 1, are going to make scaling this one a breeze with lots of choices offered to us. The only drawback is the rather weak defensive side, resulting in the need to play more carefully especially after the nerfs to armor and Dr.

 

No. 2 Thunder God Companion 

The next best D4 best 1.1.1 Druid build season 1 is Thunder God Companion. This one utilizes Shepard's aspect to stack a massive multiplier to boost our damage. Companions also offer a ton of utility in the form of CC, poison vulnerable uptime, and crit chance. The best thing about this Diablo 4 Druid build after nerf is it can be tailored to your liking. Lightning Storm can be exchanged for basically any flavor of skill you like and it would be still good. However, we recommend lightning storm which is really a solid pick. Tornado for example with its heat-seeking wind is also top tier. This build as well as the previous one can further be optimized with tempest roar, a unique helmet that's incredibly rare, but offers us access to lust for carnage which generates spirit on every single crit. The inclusion of a specific heart will let us build a wolf army which results in some insane scaling due to shepard's aspect. So the spirit is more focused on utility and the companions with damage skill of your own choice.

 

No. 3 Pinnacle Poison Shred

The next best Diablo IV Druid build after patch 1.1.1 is the poison shred which can be enjoyed with or without the waxing gibbers. This build is reliant on gear like no other so starting and going all the way with it is crucial to making it feel strong. You also need to get used to the play style. Do not respect this without having gear prepared. You will suffer if you do that. But if you get this one up and running, you will be truly blasting through the game. Clearing dungeons is a breeze, Uber Lilith is possible and it can even scale into high nightmare dungeons. However we do not recommend running them since this one is focused on speed farming as well as bossing, so do not expect this one to push 70 plus. The lack of an unstoppable skill is also not for everyone which makes autopilot play virtually impossible.

 

No. 4 Pinnacle Pulverize

What would be a D4 season 1 starter build guide list for the Druid without Pulverize? It's always a safe bet but really reliant on aspects specifically shockwave. Now the Pinnacle version of this skill provides you with a smooth gameplay experience, good single-target damage, top-tier AOE as well as defensive options that make it possible to push nightmare dungeons 80 plus. If things get dicey, you still have petrified to AOE stand the whole screen. It's truly capable of pushing high nightmare dungeons as well as Uber Lilith. However, levels 35 to 60 are a bit on the rougher side, especially until you get in a beast. The speed farming capabilities are also not as great as the previously mentioned builds.

 

No. 5 Pinnacle Trampleslide/Croneslide

The last D4 best season 1 Druid build is going to be Trampleslide which is based around Landslide as well as Nature's Fury to reset the cooldowns of your skill. This build requires specific aspects but you can switch to this one very easily once you obtain them. The new landslide poison creeper legendary power will be provided to you for a chapter progression. This one is available with season 1. It's an incredibly strong build with constant uptime and unstoppable. Great cc, top-tier damage, and a ton of sustain. There is also a ton of endgame builds to transition to be the Croneslide or more Landslide heavy builds. It offers you a high octane play style with lots of inputs but this also makes it not particularly relaxing to play for someone that's looking for something more chill. It is however very engaging and a ton of fun to play if you're looking for that kind of gameplay.
