Diablo 4 – Earth-focused Tanky Druid Build (Landslide Build)

U7Buy has everything that you need in terms of cheap Diablo 4 Gold and Diablo 4 Items, so make sure to visit the site every single day!

The Druid promises to be one of the most exciting character classes to play in Diablo 4.

When built correctly, the Druid can rival the Barbarian in brute strength and power, and could even best the most fearsome Sorcerers too.

As with any build, though, getting the right one which fits your playing style and damage appetite can be quite a tiresome task, so let’s check out one of the more fearsome Druid builds that you might find interesting prior to the game’s launch – the Landslide-focused build!

For this setup, you will look to level up Landslide to its maximum level and upgrades as quickly as possible.

Afterwards, you’ll be putting points into other supplementing abilities that empower Landslide, and even your own survivability.

So, when levelling up, these are the skills that you need to put your points into (up to Level 50):

Level 1: Storm Strike
Level 2: Enhanced Storm Strike

Obviously, the higher tier ones will add improved damage and effect bonuses, so you can check them later in-game.

When it comes to rotations, there is a lot of flexibility here, depending on circumstances.

However, Landslide usually comes first, but you can mix it in with Storm Strike to decimate mobs or single-target enemies according to the situation.

For Gems, you should keep these in mind:

Weapon: Emerald
Armour: Sapphire
Jewellery: Diamond

At this moment, you should consider this build for World 1 and World 2 (Adventurer, and Veteran, respectively), to which both Worlds are capped at Level 50.

Once you’re a master of this build, you can then consider updating it for Level 50 and above in World 3: Nightmare and World 4: Hell afterwards.

For the complete breakdown of this build, you can find it here.
