BEST DRUID BUILD (final version) - POISON STORM SLIDE META Diablo 4 Season 5

[@videogamebutter]

Updated version is out now! BEST DRUID BUILD (human) - MAX ATK SPEED STORM SLIDE META Diablo 4 Season 5 kzbin.info/www/bejne/noiQp2qnlMaAedk

[@videogamebutter]

Update: few changes on the build mainly correcting some skill points/affixes -correcting affix on offhand from +to crowd control to +distant enemies -correcting passive skill points

[@Astartes5]

Awesome build mate! But I'm struggling a bit resources wise once the density of enemies are getting low... What can I do about it?

[@haryem4781]

hi butter! great vid and I want to try it out too. quick question, does quickshift work with claw vs landslide? since you shift between human/werewolf? Also since andy's visage gives an absurd amount of life on hit, why do you still need circle of life?

[@videogamebutter]

Hi! It adds extra layer of heal for emergency cases. I tested with and without it and i find it significantly boosted the survivability. However, if gears already are already godly GA, i think it’s okay to remove. (I removed it now since i got max life on pants and boots)

[@mostnamesaretaken959]

Great no cap build 💪 thanks

[@videogamebutter]

Enjoy!!

[@Omezo]

Hey butters thanks for the build I’m going to use it! Things actually my first Druid EVER. What exactly would be your rotation for using this? You didn’t go over what that would be. 🤔🤗

[@videogamebutter]

Just everything when it’s available 🤣 i recommend the newer version (glass cannon). for more damage output, make sure to cast basic skill in between core skills to trigger shapeshift. Enjoy and welcome to the club!

[@Omezo]

@@videogamebutter thanks butter! 🫶🏼

[@david301075]

hello thank you for the video and the change of build I love your construction I see that you play the aspect of shared misery on the pants while on the planner it is a step skin thank you

[@videogamebutter]

Oh thank you and thanks for pointing that out. It’s fixed now. Enjoy!

[@CrPBcon]

I think resonance is a waste since you don't actually cast storm skill. So it's likely that only landslide gets the bonus after cyclone armor.

[@videogamebutter]

nope. Natures Fury counts Lightning storm as both Earth and Storm skill which activates Resonance. That's why landslide and storm pairs so well. You can also verify this by checking the status bar. We also have been tested and discussed on reddit :)

[@Twiztted]

Hi, this build slaps hard. I do have a question about mana though. My previous Storm Landside regenerated mana at a much higher rate that this one. I have all the equip and stats correct but the regen is bad unless the whole screen is filled with mobs. Any suggestions on how to not run out so quickly running normal Helltide content or 100 nightmare dungeons that don't have the mob density of the Hordes or PITS?

[@videogamebutter]

Thanks. Just equip basic attack! Attack speed is so high you cant even feel it 🤣 basic attack > core skill > basic attack repeat until you fill your mana. It also triggers the shapeshifting skills

[@Username95204]

hey man love the build, just a quick question, why do u have claw? what does that do for the build

[@videogamebutter]

Claw, besides howl, triggers shapeshift buffs since we’re not using vasilys. It’s also a way to generate resources.

[@MNIMNMNNI]

재밌어 보이네요, 혹시 자격산사태랑 비교하면 어떤가요?! 자격 하는데 어픽안뚜가 떠서 해볼까 하는데 예능빌드인지 성능픽인지 궁금합니다!

[@videogamebutter]

Not sure of google is translating this correctly. If I understand it right, the question is comparison to pure landslide? It’s better than pure landslide in terms of quality of life. Pure landslide is best in damage in quick succession but not tanky. Poison stormslide is better in damage over time and very tanky.

[@MNIMNMNNI]

@@videogamebutterOh I thought you were Korean seeing the comments below. I've almost finished building stormslide druid including GAs and everything, and was looking for other builds stronger than stormslide. In Korea D4 S5 druid currently, bearslide has highest record of pit 150. So I was trying to transition to Bearslide from Stormslide. But found your build in the process of researching bearslide, and was comparing 3 build all together.

[@videogamebutter]

@@MNIMNMNNI haha np. Stormslide cleared 150 as well so i say go for it since you have the better GAs. I t has better tanking capablities than bearslide (per my testing). When I tried bearslide after stormslide, i switched back so fast.

[@goehrigmathieu3536]

Hi ! Thx a lot for your great work. Maybe a written guide somewhere ? I want to test too. My drood with old witch have no dmg, but i have all uber unique ! Thx a lot mate !

[@joshd6305]

Thanks for the build. How do you max out Thunderstruck 60% on this?

[@videogamebutter]

Have +close or +distant enemy damage affix

[@joshd6305]

​@@videogamebutterthanks. I get that, but there is no close/distant tempers and the paragon doesn't go into it. I fixed by hitting mw on a GA Distant roll on unsung

hello can I use the condemner instead of the dagger or it is not recommended thank you

Retaliation aspect os actually free slot. Use whatever you like but retaliation is the best option

안녕하세요. 한국에서도 방송 잘 보고있습니다. 궁굼한점이 있습니다. 사용하는 스킬중에 기본스킬 (발톱) 이건 안찍었는데 어떻게 사용하는 것입니까~?

[@videogamebutter]

Thanks! The main use of claws is to generate spirit if needed and to proc shapeshifting buffs

[@user-us8fl4lc1x]

I see that you are using the blue gems for armor. What’s your current HP?

[@videogamebutter]

36k, 41k after fortitude.

[@Fexioo]

New to druid, how much difference is there between this human form and the shapeshift version?

[@videogamebutter]

Not much actually, this just adds more bulk and survivability from the shapeshift version. Shapeshift is more glasscannon build IMO

[@Fexioo]

@@videogamebutter ah okay cheers, will be switching to this build to see how it feels.

Can we play symbiotic with this to cooldown the cyclone? Which aspect should go...

Yes, you can. Drop shared misery

@@0xANIMAx0 the first and this version, i dont shapeshift too much which loses the hunger that’s why i removed it. i fixed that on the latest version (see new vid pit 140+) by incorporating maul. And now everyone uses maul too 🤣 first seen here

[@mertakn1211]

Would it be so bad to play with doombringer?

[@videogamebutter]

Not really, doombringer just ups survivability. Not really needed though since it’s tanking t8 already with heals

[@Tejon_]

Can i use doombringer in this build?

[@videogamebutter]

Yep. More health with a slught setback on the damage. Not really needed but okay if wanted!

why do you need resist on boots?

Free slot tbh. Movement speed is good too, hitting 85 on all resist is important too though

Do you have lucky hit to restore spirit boon? Mob density is also a factor.

Yeah that cooldowns on kill, however, on bosses without mobs, you cant shapeshift everytime using howl since it’s not refreshing with kills.

Is it better than stormslide?

[@videogamebutter]

In terms of survivability, yes. Keeper glyph buffs damage reduction up to 45% while maintaining insane damage. Stormslide is still king of damage in my opinion but without doombringer, one needs to game especially if there is a desecrator which could one hit you 🤣

[@PhrazeMuzik]

@@videogamebutter My version is a little better, can tank desecrators even.

[@videogamebutter]

@PhrazeMuzik this does too

[@fenrrirgr]

Sorry to say, but, first of all: andariel as ofensive is a placebo in your build, we tried a lot, but Druid simply are not good at procing Lucky Hit a lot as other classes. You just made a Stormslide build that uses Andariel. The main thing Andariel is doing is getting you a lot of heal, which ironically makes you don't need Circle of Life. The damage is coming from your lightning storms.

[@videogamebutter]

Sorry to say but I use Andariel for it's attack speed and poisoning capabilities. With the current roll of my andariels, it gives me 98% of attack speed overall with howl (83% + 15%) which certainly helps procs lightning. More lightning/landslide hits = more chances to proc lucky hits. The difference between 98% Attack speed and

Tell us you don't play druid without telling us you don't play druid. How do you think they even regen Spirit?

[@SYSTIEM]

@@videogamebutterdon’t listen to him, clearly doesn’t know what he’s talking about. This is one of the better T8 clears I’ve seen and solves the issue of slow boss kills. I’m just waiting for an Andy to drop so I can swap to this and take my build to the next level. ALSO, the fact that you comfortably ran T8 hordes with 800+ aether with a non LS/spec build AND most of your gear being 1 GA and not perfect masterworks, shows just how good it is, and can be. Your last video inspired me to keep pushing on my Druid 👌🏻

[@MrRobot864]

lol another built that needs mythics, in 800 hours of play I only had one mythic in the last season, if to be able to do the high content you need mythics then I can't wait for poe 2 to come out because at this rate close to 1000 hours it's ridiculous

Mythics are almost easy to get compared to last season. Materials are farmable if you put time in it. Last season, materials suck ass lol
