Druids are a class that has faced some challenges but still has a lot of amazing builds in Diablo 4 Season 6. While it’s hard to compare to classes like Spiritborn right now, that will change with the release of the balance patch. Still, Druids are a very fun class to play, with strong tanking capabilities and survivability to survive even the most challenging content of the game.
Although Druids are not at the top of Diablo 4 Season 6 tier list, I am still a big fan of them. Companion/ally builds have received some attention, and I think these builds are excellent overall. Below, we have highlighted some of the most popular options in the current season.
1) Landslide
In Diablo 4 Season 6, Landslide build is still an excellent choice for players who like to control large groups of enemies and deal tremendous damage. It relies on stable resource generation, mainly through Earth Spike. With Landslide and Petrify, you can deal tremendous damage to multiple enemies.
In addition, you can also use Earthen Bulwark, Debilitating Roar, and the powerful Poison Creeper companion to enhance your combat effectiveness. In order to maximize the potential of this build, you may also need to spend Diablo 4 Gold to obtain Shard of Verathiel, but this also means that you will need more resource generation.
This build is simple to operate and fun. The only downside is that it does not perform as well in single target combat as it does in AOE. Therefore, the more enemies you face, the better this build will be.
2) Storm Summoner
In Diablo 4, Druids’ Companion builds have been significantly enhanced, making them a very ideal choice in the current build. This is mainly because of skills like Stormcrow’s Aspect, which allows Ravens to deal lightning damage. In addition, Paragon Board Untamed also gives this build an enormous boost, adding an extra 20% or so base damage to Companions every time you cast Companion skill, up to 80%.
Although this is a build that requires a lot of specific gear and resources to be most effective, its damage output is very solid, especially in the end-game, and it is particularly good against boss fights. In order to fully realize the potential of this build, you will need some key items such as Mad Wolf’s Glee, Storm’s Companion, Mjolnic Ryng, and Yen’s Blessing.
The most attractive part of this build is that Cataclysm spell does not use Spirit, and Wolves and Ravens can bring a lot of extra damage. Combined with Blood Howl and Cyclone Armor, as well as Claw, this build becomes quite powerful in Diablo 4.
3) Shred
Shred is an exciting but somewhat tricky choice. Although the constant movement can be uncomfortable, it is still a very powerful build. This build is extremely fast and can deal tremendous damage to single and group targets, but it does take some practice to master it.
Wildheart Hunger is one of the core skills of this build, ensuring that you switch forms at the right time. In addition, Waxing Gibbous can enhance your Shred and provide you with Stealth. In this build, you can also run Maul, Trample, Blood Howl, and Debilating Roar. Like most shapeshifting builds, it also benefits greatly from Mad Wolf’s Glee and the powerful Mjolnic Ryng.
This build looks very exciting as it allows you to transform, quickly move across the battlefield, and hit any enemies that stand in your way.
4) Lightning Storm
Ravens become even more powerful with the help of Stormcrow’s Aspect. However, this build that requires constant channeling is not for everyone and may not be as powerful as some other builds.
Additionally, you’ll need some very specific gear like Tempest Roar, Mad Wolf’s Glee, Unsung Ascetic’s Wraps, and Mjolnic Ryng, making this a very farm-intensive build. If you’re in need of these equipments, keep an eye out for the Diablo 4 Season 6 giveaway on the IGGM discord and leave your favorite emoji to enter.

5) Companion (Wolves)
Although this build isn’t AOE focused, using Companion or Wolves will summon a large pack of wolves that can do a lot of damage to a single target, and it’s relatively easy to set up. The only really challenging part is learning how to balance Shapeshifting buffs, Wildheart Hunger unique and Quickshift passive.
This build is very fun and unique. You can use Shred, Maul, and Lacerate to attack your enemies. Additionally, you can use Wolves and Poison Creeper to deal with minions, which can help you maintain an advantage when facing large numbers of enemies. In tense situations such as facing bosses/elites, you can also use Earthen Bulwark to increase defense and improve survivability.
Finally, you may also want to add Lith+Ceh to summon swarms of Spirit Wolves. These Spirit Wolves will provide you with additional attack power and support, making you more powerful in battle.
Overall, each build has its own unique charm and advantages. For Druid players, it will be a very interesting and rewarding experience to explore these different builds and find the best play style for them.
