Diablo 4 - Lightning Storm Endgame Build Guide! S Tier Farming Build // Season 6

[@grizzlies91214]

What procs Xol? Don't you have to evoke powers from another class? Are you evoking any non druid powers with this build?

[@NikoWrex]

You’re correct. I meant to socket Lith there. I just forgot to move it after the Antivinen nerf.

[@lukebrady65]

I've been playing this build all season. It speed farms Pit 90+ with ease. It's honestly one of the most powerful Druid builds this season. Heavily overlooked at the moment.

[@NikoWrex]

Agreed! I was actually pretty surprised myself by the damage output.

[@lukebrady65]

@NikoWrex Yes, me too. It's since they bug-fixed Lightning Storm to work with attack speed in Season 5.

[@NikoWrex]

Them calling it a “bug” after it being in the game for so long was bs. They intended for it to be like that. It was just a terrible idea.

[@ZeusJuiceV1]

Let’s gooooo🎉

[@NikoWrex]

Sorry it took so long. Got pretty busy.

[@IrkNova]

After putting 3 points into quickshift and putting one point into heightend senses i ran out of skill points

[@IrkNova]

Not sure if I did something wrong I'm level 60 paragon 11

[@NikoWrex]

Did you see my answer on X

[@IrkNova]

@@NikoWrex I did

[@frazermiller9571]

Woohoo tyvm Druid god

[@NikoWrex]

Added some DR with LithMot runeword. Should be a smoother setup.

[@WesleyRodrigues-cx4zd]

Finally Druid!!! Bring boulder to us bro! Like on the vídeo

[@NikoWrex]

I already made Boulder 😂. I’ve updated the planner so just use the link in the description below.

[@user-wo9jj6ii6t]

Im using the werewolf glyph instead of electrocution, I think it gives more damage and you get the additional 10% DR in werewolf form

[@NikoWrex]

I don’t think anything beats out Electrocution. A ton of multiplicative damage from the glyph. If you need DR swap something different. Once I hit a few MW crit on Wildheart Boots I’m good.

[@user-wo9jj6ii6t]

@@NikoWrex How did you test? I wasnt getting more damage when I tested it. I think its because lightning storm isnt a "lightning bolt" or "dancing bolt" so the only benefit to electrocution is the +lightning damage. Maybe I didnt test properly though.

[@NikoWrex]

Make sure you’re using Bad Omen passive.

[@Fandelgore]

i see no damage vs close/distant in your tempers, is it enough with the paragon board to cap thunderstruck?

[@NikoWrex]

Paragon use Wraps max Thunderstruck pretty easily.

[@I_amBackPack]

I like this build. I wasnt aware it takes you almost to max paragon though. Im sitting at 250 currently. On another note, where can I farm for the amulet and mace? Im having a hard time finding them

[@NikoWrex]

Just general farming brother. Just use decent replacements until you can find what you’re looking for. The amulet will be the hardest. Just use what gear is the closest to the build until you find the best gear. I don’t even have BiS gear for most of my builds.

[@jasonberube5882]

Why are you using a staff instead of a Polearm? It seems like the implicit Vulnerable damage of a polearm would be better than a staffs implicit damage over time....

[@NikoWrex]

More attack speed with Staff.

[@lancevalient01]

Good morning, Niko! I'm a fairly new player; can you explain where your poison damage is coming from in this build to set off neurotoxin and envenom?

[@NikoWrex]

Absolutely! So the passive Toxic Claws applies poison off of Werewolf skill critical strikes. Now the reason I don’t have a point in that passive is because I’m using the Shroud of False Death. If you don’t have that mythic unique just use 1 skill point to activate that passive until you get a Shroud.

[@lancevalient01]

@@NikoWrex Awesome, thanks!

[@frazermiller9571]

Quick question @NikoWrex, what runes go in the weapon? Or gems? Its empty on your current build. Thanks again sir 🙏

[@NikoWrex]

That’s my bad. The Runeword goes on the weapon. I’ll fix it

[@grizzlies91214]

@@NikoWrex How can you proc Xol rune if you aren't evoking any powers from other classes? I think you're missing another runeword, no?

[@dorisbarner4397]

Hi, I'm new to Diablo 4 Seasons 6. I have a question. My 'All-Storms' druid doesn't shape-shift. His attack power is 7,628, but it doesn't kill anything in a timely manner. How can I change it? Stats: Life-14,556, Armor-3,899 and Resistances--all 70%. I'm so lost. Your build will make my third rebuild.

[@NikoWrex]

If you follow the build that should fix the problems. You are well over cap on your armor. You only need 2k armor for cap at Torment 4. Most every build this season and in S7 will need to Shapeshift. We need more buffs to Human Druid for it to be possible.

[@dorisbarner4397]

@@NikoWrex Thank you!

[@GreasyFox]

Good for pit push and farming, but kind of lackluster when it comes to torment bosses raid. I am using a mythic with GA Max life Doombringer for extra survivability.

[@NikoWrex]

It smokes any content. I kill Torment bosses in a second or two and Raid is a cakewalk.

[@kree197238]

The skills do not match in mobanalytics it doest say take shred ?

[@NikoWrex]

You’re Ring of Starless Skies gives you core skill ranks so you don’t need to put points into it.

[@kree197238]

But he says replace the ring with starlight skies aspect ​@@NikoWrex

[@NikoWrex]

@@kree197238 If you don't have RoSS. Shred is a flex spot. if you want just pull a skill point and put it into Shred until you get RoSS

[@LandofMert76]

I noticed you rarely have bulwark in for a break on almost all your builds, not just this one.

[@NikoWrex]

I really like the Impairment Reduction. To me, it’s way better than Bulwark

[@LandofMert76]

@NikoWrex bulwark has been my crutch. I use it on everything even non druids

[@NikoWrex]

@@LandofMert76 You can always try it out. Shred is a flex spot so it's open for your playstyle

[@evandasmarinas4609]

How high can you go on pit with this build?

[@NikoWrex]

With perfect gear and masterwork probably between 108-112. It’s not the best for the pit but it certainly does the job.

[@Infernadragogaming]

@@NikoWrexthe highest I’ve seen by lightning storm was a 114 by danger the maxroll writer

[@Infernadragogaming]

Lightning storm has the highest clear of any Druid build I’ve seen second is shred then 3rd is boulder

[@NikoWrex]

@@Infernadragogaming that’s even better. However, you’d need perfect or near perfect gear for that. I can’t even get perfect aspects in SC or HC 😂

[@Infernadragogaming]

@ I’ve only found a few max aspects but they are useless 1s

[@karljohnson3538]

Fun build but very squishy.

[@NikoWrex]

This is the second time someone mentioned that. I’ll add a Runeword so it’s a bit more tanky. However, Just criting Heightened Senses on boots should keep you up.

[@cujoway]

my next season build is...POE 2

[@NikoWrex]

Nah, but I be blasting some PoE2! Excited for some difficult content. Can’t wait for the Druid release.

[@cujoway]

@@NikoWrex yep seems we will all be there dec 6 for the server crashes

[@mid5552010]

херня это а не билд, выживаемости нет, орды даже закрыть нельзя на т4, убивают как только появляешься, да урон класный по площади, но выживаемости

[@NikoWrex]

I don’t know how you’re playing it but I don’t have any survivability issues even when doing T95+ Pit. I don’t even have max gear/aspects/glyphs. There’s gameplay footage in the video doing all that content.
