Diablo

I would solidly rank druid as one of the top five classes you could play in Diablo 4.

I wanted to play as a bear, so I am playing as a druid, simple as. Am I weak, am I strong? How the hell should I know, I haven't played a different class yet! Just enjoying the game as it is and it's brilliant.

Level 62 druid here.

1. Fuck the meta, play what you enjoy.
2. Druid can handle fine. I'm running a no shapeshift storm build and having a great time.

level 100 druid here. i've played landslide, trampleslide, pulverize, shred, and now finally i've arrived at storm wolf after getting tempest roar at 94.

the class owns. fuck the haters. storm wolf is a great end game chase, and when you finally get it online it is one of the strongest builds in the game.

I'm lv 63 now maybe? Anyway am loving my Landslide, Petrify, Trample build.

Don't be me tho, I didn't do class quest to unlock the Druid Passive boons till Lv ~37. Granted by then I at least had enough of the items to unlock every one of them.

You want your most OP essence on your weapon, and the second best one on your amulet as they give bonuses to them.

The essences you get from dungeons have the lowest stats, if you find gear with better essence rolls/% make sure to extract it for later.

Won't link all my aspects, but the landslide one and the trample one are what make it golden

All jive well together for the big pew pews.

Feel like an earth bender or earth/rock ninja, but with angry-bear-bringing the landslide spamms.

For real man just play the class that you wanna play. Druids are badass, what else matters?

The class has a very slow, very rough start; and is extremely gear/aspect dependent. However, once you are over the level 60-ish hump, it becomes an absolute powerhouse. I specifically chose the class because of how bad it was in beta, and I have loved how strong it ended up.

Pulv Druid, Trampslide both use earth skill passive synergy to ramp to a very solid strength, and are very easy to build into.

The wolf variants (Stormclaw, Tornado Wolf, CroneWolf, PoisonShred) all rely on getting the unique helm Tempest Cowl to start off. They are also very greedy about needing good stat rolls and aspects to get the crazy ramp. Much of their power is also tied up in the paragon board. That said, these are easily among the most broken OP builds in the game at the moment.

I'm currently lv56, have maxed out all companions, and use pulverize. It's probably not the best build, but I am having a lot of fun. Crowd control is excellent, damage against one enemy can be lacking sometimes, but is getting better. Will be interesting to see how far I can take it

I started with rogue but rerolled to druid and never looked back. Never felt underpowered and the class is awesome. I didn't minmax either, just took whatever sounded like fun. Ever since a legendary dripped for me that heals me when I change form (I use storm strike melee basic skill and pulverize so I shapeshift a lot) I'm pretty much unkillable.

Pick whatever seems fun to you and whatever class fantasy speaks to you, there is nothing morenimportant for enjoyment.

I went Druid this time around. Usually am a squishy sorce glass cannon kinda guy, so I am really enjoying being a big bear(or wolf) and be a bit more tanky.

I will say early game can be a bit boring compared to other classes, and the loot table apparently is a lil wonky, but it’s been hella fun for me personally!

The streamers I watched (both hardcore) said 35-50 was pretty rough, but once skills come together and legendary starts dropping regularly it feels nice.

I rolled necro but I've played with some druids, and they fucked. Level 53. Maybe it's not the strongest class or something but it looked sweet and killed stuff.

So I beat the campaign as a Druid. There is some growing pain and I had a hard time getting my build to work in the earlier levels. The major issue being my aoe could destroy mobs but my single target damage was extremely low and bosses and elites would give me trouble.

I think some of that comes from naturally being drawn to wolf and bear skills which arguably aren’t that great for single target damage but are the more interesting skills to use. Higher levels and landslide wreck bosses though.

Now I’m around level 33 with a necromancer and honestly I can see why people are hating on the Druid. Necromancer feels way more powerful at both AOE and single target damage.

TLDR; In my opinion play what’s fun to you. The Druid is still a lot of fun and I’m sure there will probably be some nerfs and buffs soon.

I'm having fun playing a Druid that solely uses Werewolf skills and Wolf companions for roleplaying reasons. Not the most efficient build and single target damage output is not that great. But so far I've been able to beat The Butcher solo, so guess it isn't that bad. 😋

Just pick the class that appeals to you. You can play the same class in so many ways with the wide variety of available skills that a 'this class sucks' blanket statement is nonsense any way.

Nothing annoys me more than powergamers giving out unsolicited advice. Play what you want to play, barring DM veto.

My brother is playing a druid and he absolutely smashes wt4. It was a rough start, but once his build came together he was shredding nightmare dungeons. I think you'd be fine playing a druid
