There are several great builds for Druids in Diablo IV, including the Earth Bear Landslide Build or even the Pulverizing Werebear Build, but one that stands just a bit above the others is the Storm Wolf Build. With this build, players can breeze their way to level 100.

The Storm Wolf Build is based mainly around a couple of unique items exclusive to the Druid class in Diablo 4. These items will be essential, and as this is more of an endgame build, players should have access to these items at this point. Without these items, this build will not work as intended.

Nest Items For Storm Wolf Druid Build

The Storm Wolf Endgame Build in Diablo 4 is based around a couple of key items that are essential to it. Specifically the Greatstaff of the Crone, Tempest Roar, Mad Wolf’s Glee, and Melted Heart of Selig. Each of these items provides a specific aspect to this build that allows it to work as intended. The Greatstaff of the Crone is a Staff that turns Claw into a Storm Skill. Allowing it to also cast Storm Strike at 120%-150% damage. The next item is the Tempest Roar, a piece of armor, specifically a helmet, that allows all Storm Skills to double as a Werewolf Skill.

The third item is the Mad Wolf’s Glee, an armor chest piece that ensures Druid players are always in werewolf form and gain +2 on all Werewolf Skills. The fourth item is the Melted Heart of Selig, which allows Druids to drain Spirit first when taking damage at a ratio of 3-6 Spirit for every 1% of health that would’ve been lost. These items are non-optional when it comes to this build in Diablo 4. For the Storm Wolf build to run properly, do not attempt this build until these items have been procured first.

Best Storm Wolf Spirit Boons For Druids

Druid Class players will need to unlock Spirit Boons, which should be done in a specific order by offering Druidic Spirit Offerings. The order in which these Spirit Boons should be unlocked is Calamity (Wolf), Scythe Talons (Eagle), Gift of the Stag (Deer), Calm Before The Storm (Snake), and Swooping Attacks (Eagle). The last of these Spirit Boons should be activated with Spirit Bonding. Along with the Spirit Boons, players will need a specific Skill Tree mapping to make this build as powerful as it can possibly be, along with appropriately constructed Paragon Boards.

Storm Wolf Druid Skill Tree

The Skill Tree is the heart of any great build. With so many options and ways to customize a character, it can be difficult to map out the best skills. Two characters of the same class could be incredibly different based on how players lay out this specific aspect of their build. Players will build the majority of their Skill Tree utilizing the Skill Points obtained throughout gameplay, and the rest will be built using Renown in Diablo 4. With the remaining Renown Points, players should unlock Wrath Skills, Elemental Exposure (Level 3), Bad Omen (Level 3), and Electric Shock (Level 3). Additionally, players should unlock the Defensive Skill Vigilance up to level 2.

Paragon Board For a Storm Wolf Druid Build

If the Paragon Board seems unfamiliar, that’s likely because it only unlocks once players reach level 50, also known as endgame, so it may just not have been something that has been encountered yet. The Paragon Board in Diablo 4 is a system in which players will unlock several boards. With the completion of each board, new ones will become available depending on the Nodes selected. For this Druid Build, players will want to prioritize Damage and Resistance.

For the initial board, players will want to make their way around the right side and prioritize the Keeper Rare Glyph, and then from there, head up the left side of the board until unlocking the next. The second board will be prioritizing the Thunderstruck Legendary Node. The next board will focus on the Constricting Tendrils Legendary Node. Finally, the third board in Diablo 4 will focus heavily on Lust for Carnage Legendary Node.

Another key feature to is the stats on each equipped item. There are certain stats players should prioritize when equipping the rest of their gear. Aside from the four key pieces essential to this build, players may fill their other slots as they please, focusing on certain stats. For gloves, players should focus on Lucky Hit Chance or Attack Speed. For Pants and Boots, the main focuses should be Life, Damage Reduction, or Willpower. Finally, for Rings, Lucky Hit Chance, and Resource Generation are the main aspects to focus on. With all the components of this build fully fleshed out as listed, players will become an unstoppable force in Diablo 4.
