Diablo 4 - LANDSLIDE Druid Build Guide! Delete Tormented Bosses! // Rockfall (Season 5)

[@BradMathews-wu3yc]

What are you masterworking?

[@NikoWrex]

On helm: Def Post On Chest: Ursine Strength or Iron Fur/Hp% Boots: HS or Attack Speed Cata ring: Endless Tempest and Willpower Earthbreaker: Landslide Ranks or Chance to cast 2x

@@NikoWrexI was thinking landslides double chance on weapon and cooldown on totem… pants no clue

He’s back!

[@justincapalbo6938]

I just assembled something like this and got the starless sky and mjolnic ring, pretty much have any combo of uniques, debating switching to this version with cataclysm to see how it performs in comparison to petrify version I'm running right now. Very fun and very ASMR build

[@NikoWrex]

Definitely a great build!

[@justincapalbo6938]

@@NikoWrex So far the hardest thing for me about switching is the loss of mobility from ghostwalker + dash boots, but I think that this could be fixed with better tempers/masterworks

[@NikoWrex]

That usually solves everything. At the end of the day if you don’t plan on pushing Pit like crazy you can sacrifice the dps and still clear T8 IH without any problems.

[@Benten198]

Thank you for the great build guide

[@NikoWrex]

Absolutely! Thank you!

[@nuke_looter5174]

I can’t help but feel like ( spirit per second) and ( cataclysm cooldown reduction) are vastly more important than just ‘cooldown reduction’’. The barrier and fortify have been the only thing keeping me alive while I’m stuck waiting for mana via attacking enemies since I’ve switched to this build. Also the ( harliquin crest ) vs the ( vasily’s prayer ) even with its aspect is barely noticeable if not the quin helm feels even better with its massive damage reduction and cooldown reduction. Also the ( skin walker aspect ) on either the pants or chest piece if you don’t want to use tibults will or the fury chest piece visa versa is really good since you are infinitely healing or gaining fortify.

[@NikoWrex]

You shouldn’t be waiting. Poison creeper does a ton of damage and is easy to use consistently when cata isn’t up. Once you get the cooldown reduction on totem and temper you shouldn’t have an issue with cata uptime. Calm before the Storm boon procs quite often. Maybe focus more on casting Landslide and less poison creeper when Cata is active. I was able to clear T7 Horde with just base gear.

[@nuke_looter5174]

Almost all I do is spam landslide and use creep when I can’t landslide I’m also still needing to do some more masterworking and looking for a couple better pieces of gear with GA’s after the switch I’m pretty well decked out lvl 100 but I was previously playing a different build so things are a little scattered right now but initially it feels manageable but spirit has been a little more cumbersome than my cooldown reductions. I just feel like if you can keep up cat more often and for longer durations then the issue is completely gone.

[@NikoWrex]

Once you optimize your gear and masterwork everything should be good. Until then you could always run an umbral aspect on the ring to keep your spirit up consistently

[@kennyhouser3467]

Interesting that you chose Might for a pants aspect. I, and several other LS players I've seen, use Skinwalker because it's absurdly broken and OP in a good way. You get enough innate DR through your gear and MW'ing at a certain point, so passing up what amounts to a 20% max life heal(or fortify if at full health) every 3 to 5 seconds doesn't make sense to me. You can basically just facetank anything that doesn't 1 shot you with it on.

[@NikoWrex]

The problem is one shots. I can’t really afford to die. Maybe with a Temerity setup it would be great but I’d probably still take the DR.

[@remydesaulniers6908]

You don't use Tibault's Will? What's the reason? Thank you for the build!

[@NikoWrex]

I’m using Insatiable Fury. If you want Tibault’s just run a normal chest.

[@PanchyGames]

Great build!, one question, why you dont have crit chance in the glove? Is not needed crit chance for landslide? Thank you

[@NikoWrex]

Thanks! I have crit on the gloves in the planner. My own gear just isn’t optimized yet.

[@PanchyGames]

@@NikoWrex thank you!

[@micoman4939]

Glad youre active! Can a human form Earthbreaker build compete with this shapeshifter?

[@NikoWrex]

I plan on making one in the future. It looks competitive if not better on damage. However, it would require a lot more investment in survivability. I probably wouldn’t play it in HC.

[@biggben2uce81]

Take a shot every time he says "go ahead"

[@thatoneblackkid5297]

You are correct about beast in ice he is hitting like you have full stacks already glitched or something

[@NikoWrex]

It surprised me. I almost zeroed him first phase. Then, the mob just one shot me. I had a really nice WIldheart and Cata ring.

[@AdFortis]

@@NikoWrex I too was one shot by Ol Cankerhide 😅

[@NikoWrex]

[@prestleyateh7207]

Edit. Yea idk I think the melees do much more dmg than usual for some reason. Luckily my wolves hill him before he takes off

[@droid5785]

Hardcore is the real game and you get more respect because of it. Keep on keeping on. Also I hope I find out in this video but how much health do they have now? Last season felt like they had 2-4 billion health ​@@NikoWrex

[@Puddin127]

Fire build

[@Karagra421]

Looking at your Poisonclaw and Stormclaw which do you think would be able to push higher lvl pits better in softcore?

[@NikoWrex]

Poisonclaw by a lot. The planner is a rough draft of the build. I need to test some stuff out when I get Andy.

[@Karagra421]

@@NikoWrex Went with your Landside.. amazing... You think a pure human build would work in Softcore? if so you think harley,earthbringer, and starless?

[@NikoWrex]

It would absolutely work. Those are key items for that version

[@hotmess42]

Are you res capped? Following the build and love it but struggling to hit res cap. Lvl 82 HC

[@NikoWrex]

Yeah. Which aren’t capped?

[@NinjaMaster247]

I noticed on your build under the aspect section it says "remove aspect subterranean " is it just dealers choice? Or is there a reason to remove it?

[@NikoWrex]

Your choice. You just have one less aspect slot.

Been waiting lol

[@NikoWrex]

I had to pay the Beast back for taking my Stormclaw Druid 😂

[@ZeusJuiceV1]

@@NikoWrex haha and quick question you like cataclysm over petrify?

[@NikoWrex]

Petrify if you’re playing Stormslide or don’t have Cata ring on. Cataclysm is only good with the ring.

[@thecontrarianman]

What do you think of Maxrolls landslide build? I am trying it out now but wondering if you tried it and what's the difference between theirs and yours in action. Thanks.

[@NikoWrex]

I’d have to look it over. I only go to Maxroll for events. Edit: I looked it up and it looks like a Stormslide variant. It’s a good build. I’ll be making the one I created last season too.

[@thecontrarianman]

@@NikoWrex Ya but which one is stronger in your opinion?

[@ClyxiusZotenhold]

Don’t use storm slide use regular landslide I’m hitting 2b number on my landslide without storm.

@@NikoWrexdo you think Stormlide build is stronger than the Landslide build?

@@NikoWrex wich version would you say does more dmg / is more tanky?

[@smokeyb321]

Can I use a shall instead of Vasily????

[@Astartes5]

So the strorm strike is the only source of resource regeneration?

[@NikoWrex]

Yeah. Your Cataclysm gives you infinite resources. Ultimately you want to optimize your gear to get 100% uptime on cata.

[@Astartes5]

@@NikoWrex how do i get exactly 100% uptime for cataclysm?

[@NikoWrex]

A combination of Atk spd, cooldown, and endless tempest ranks. Greater affixes and mastworking improvements will get you there.

[@recrub11]

Why not use natures fury and symbiotic ?

[@NikoWrex]

I wanted a standard Landslide build. I’ll be making a Stormslide variation later.

[@kennyhouser3467]

​​@@NikoWrexI honestly think pure LS is just as good, if not better than StormSlide. I know for a fact that it is a better boss melter, but AoE clearing might go to StormSlide. I found StormSlide to be way too spammy on a controller to stick with it.

[@NikoWrex]

I agree. Big damage from LS and AoE from Stormslide.

​​@@theasosyal4047At a certain gear point, you'll be averaging crits in the 30-40mil range as a solo player. In groups with a Barb, I've seen crits over 100mil and OP crits over 200mil. Just stick with it. Also remember, the Lion's share of your damage is going to be coming from Creeper spam because of the Aftershock interaction. Not the LS casts themselves.

Why isn't natures fury better? why did you pick ursine strength over it?

Nature’s Fury is for Stormslide builds. I made one last season and I’ll revisit it soon for S5. Ursine Strength and Earthen Might are for normal Landslide builds using earth skills for damage.

[@MrKumaDaze]

How u manage ressource?

[@NikoWrex]

By casting Cataclysm. When it’s down just weave claw and landslide until it’s back up. Use creeper as it comes off cooldown. As you masterwork your gear it gets way easier to maintain Cataclysm

[@CaptainBanananana]

Stormslide build? 😊

I’ll be updating the one I made from last season soon. I just want to make Pulverize and Wolves first.

​@@NikoWrexYou can also temper LH chance to restore spirit on the amulet. LS has a ridiculous amount of LH so you end up proccing it pretty constantly. Or, you can opt to lose a bit of damage and run with a Tibault's/Metamorphisis boots combo.
