Lightning Storm Druid Build Guide - Diablo 4 Season 3 | Lightning Storm companion build

[@barricadettv]

Overall, this build has been awesome to enjoy. Clears everything, isn't as tanky as I would hope, but the damage is there and it's been a blast. Hope you like it! You can catch the livestreams on Twitch tues / wed / fri / sat! Hope to see you there. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@namdoan8998]

Could you please check if Startless Skies work with the build? i just got one and it seem like the ring didnt work at all. it didnt give me the 40% resource reduction nor 40% more damage. is this a bug or it just doesnt work with channelling skills in general?

[@sfdsd07]

Hi, I don't have tempest roar yet n following your aspects paragon n skills. However my lightning storm damages at around 40k with thibault barrier etc. Is tempest roar necessary to get such damage like yours? Please help

[@barricadettv]

not at all, it will be great once you get it but for now focus on your glyphs and focus on getting the skill tree / items correct outside of TR.@@sfdsd07

[@barricadettv]

No it's not, you can see in the video that you can do great damage w/out t roar. Simply lvl those glyphs and feel the power@@sfdsd07

[@cjlittle3176]

What is the 3rd board glyph please

[@zevosx]

honestly that what a build review should be. Very informative and complete, more ppl should learn from you. thank you ^^

[@barricadettv]

Glad you think so!

[@noneya9421]

The was the best review of a build I’ve ever seen, incredible work seriously smooth and to the point well done 👍🏼

[@barricadettv]

Thanks 👍

[@redbaronjm]

Good build, the one change I would recommend is the weapon instead of damage to health I would go for damage to crowd control since enemies will always be slowed via poison. Also change gems to increase crit dmg to cc

[@shomaniac]

Very cool build and a great explanation of all the pieces. Thanks for this! I don’t have the gear yet but I’m going to start moving towards this design.

[@josehernandez476]

You do such a great job with the video. Thank you I wasn't sure what endgame build to go with druid but thanks to your video I'ma go with that

[@NolteGameOver]

I started with companions, then changed to lightning storm, has been so fun and perfect for season mechs, ranged to avoid traps helps a lot

[@Squammish]

This is a great build. Ace further updated the build today. The paragon now includes territorial and undaunted, while subtracting exploit. It's much less squishy and still very strong. I'm playing around with my gear and paragon board looking at removing armour nodes/rolls. In werewolf form at lvl 90 im already at 15k armour with juggernaut. I'm only using Tibaults for boss fights where spirit issues arise, and a full dmg reduction set with juggernaut for NM clears. I've also been swapping boons between Crit/max life and the Crit strike chance is more resource gen, and I've still got around 14k life. Thinking Tibaults/max life boon for bosses and juggernaut pants/Crit strike boon for more resource in dense NMD.

[@Jackpott84]

Thanks for great explanation. This build works very smoothly. I'm always healthy too.

[@joaoaraujo9629]

This should be the new meta for youtubers nowadays they just spit info like lunatics with cuts and accelerations on the videos!

[@beamfail871]

ive been following your build so far and was wondering about shepherd and stampede. Upon equiping and unequiping shepherd (while all 3 companion skilled are slotted) all it does is add/remove 60% from ther damage with core stats, are there actual hidden numbers which says it % per pet rather than per companion skill? if it only boost per skil slotted that would mean stampede is useless for that shepherd dmg stack, im a noob on this game so i dont even know how to test that kind of thing (dont even have most uniques for your build XD)

[@Bonkss_PbP]

Great detailed video as always barricade

[@barricadettv]

Much appreciated

[@cyberzombie2055]

Phenomenal build guide @barricade! Thanks!

[@barricadettv]

Glad you liked it! It's an Ace build for sure and it's great!

[@starless4146]

What Gliph do you have in board number 3. I'm not sure if you mentioned it...

[@aleksandaracimovic728]

Thanks for the awesome guide! Just a quick question, is two handed axe really better then the staff?

[@barricadettv]

Yes, definitely - damage to healthy is the move.

[@ZhurTaa]

Even do i'm not catching your streams that much your videos are awesome keep it up .

[@barricadettv]

Thanks!

[@valentim.mp4]

Barricade, you're the best. What a guide! or should i say you're the Ancestral Guidance lol

[@barricadettv]

ha! ty ty

[@TheDethsight]

been eager to try this build since i saw the new legendary. now, i just have to level up without a TR lol.

[@oXMrsWarriorXo]

I have been using this build for a few days it is really good.

[@barricadettv]

totally agree!

[@kevino667]

@Barricadettv I've been running the Maxroll/Moxsy Druif Endgame pets variant and its working well. This is a lot different. How do you think the two stack up against each other?

[@barricadettv]

I think as long as you're dealing millions of damage and are res / armor capp'd the playstyle will be similar.

[@braxton666fly]

I'm still working on some survivability issues with my build. But I think everyone is sleeping on the lupine furocity. When using it with lightning storm and the tempest roar your gaurunteed to get a crit strike at 70/140X. It happens almost every cast since it cast so many bolts!

[@braxton666fly]

My spirit stays basically full and I seen 1m hits with glyphs at 15. Starting to see 2-3 million now!

[@j0lteon]

Love the build guide thanks for the vid!

[@barricadettv]

Glad to help!

[@tranyenthanh5282]

You need to use Airidah’s Inexorable Will ring (the new unique give more 10% ultimate skill countdown and tons of damage

[@barricadettv]

I've used it and I love it too - as you can see in this version, there's no Ult power. In previous versions though it 1shots almost everything. GGs!

[@Ansieh]

Great guide! Just wondering why use earth spike instead of other spirit generating skill like windsheer or stormstrike?

[@barricadettv]

Good question! I get this alot, I like a nice ranged skill. This is the one I generally use and since we dont use a generator in the end game, it doesn't matter ultimately.

[@okplsdont9898]

Switching to Melted Heart will solve the survival problem.

[@barricadettv]

Sounds about right.

[@jordangreen7198]

Problem i have with this build is tempest roar is impossible to find. I did 100 dur runs on mh barb and got 5 ubers and 0 tempest roar

[@dannyvandegroep6280]

What is the glyph you using in thunderstruck board? because you dont show it only notes.

[@dannyvandegroep6280]

Nvm haha it was keeper glyph

[@quinxilence3047]

That lightning storm animation looks so damn funky 😹😹 makes ur Druid look weird idk LOLL.

[@silk2035]

Any reason why we are not going for Fulminate Glyph or Undaunted or Shapeshifting instead of Guzzler ? I Mean 30 more Potion Healing for 2nd Requriement on Guzzler is pretty useless, so why dont go for more DMG or DMR

[@barricadettv]

When you try to compare the output with those glyphs which I have done, you actually do less damage.

[@mightythor-9286]

How do you have the green shako cosmetic?

[@silk2035]

Any Plan in a LS Version with Shako instead of Tempest Roar :> ?

[@barricadettv]

Not at the moment, you lose so much. Maintaining Werewolf Lightning damage is very important for lots of damage buckets while going Shako nets you +1 more skills and DR, you lose quite a bit for that sacrifice. That being said though. You can totally and entirely beat the game as a human LS build.

[@johnizzard7841]

Tempest roar is attainable from where?

[@AnneLikesMangoes]

I can't find it either, hope you get one too!

[@diogobacildo2998]

Stupid question here, but, why I dont get the werewolf stance after cast the skill? Im using the same setup 😢

[@norrintomjimmy]

Tempest roar, the item makes your lightning or storm skills into werewolf skills too

[@pstryktomasz9308]

what are your resistances? because there are a lot of uniques in your build that do not have resistance to the elements

[@barricadettv]

70% across the board.

[@pstryktomasz9308]

Could you explain to me why you have so much immunity? Since in the defensive note you have 15% You don't have any resistances in your pants or armor, only in your rings.

[@barricadettv]

swing by a stream so I can review it for you. I am using ruby / sapphire / diamond in the jewelry. @@pstryktomasz9308

[@pstryktomasz9308]

Could you explain to me why you have added 2 points in earth spike? since you don't use this skill?

[@barricadettv]

you must use basic skill points to access your core skills in the game.@@pstryktomasz9308

[@OutrageousKem]

Where did you get the art for the thumbnail?

[@barricadettv]

A gentleman never kisses and tells.

[@flipsyder]

where does the helm drop from?

[@sababoba4506]

I got one in NM Sigil and another one form open world Malph

[@dantevergil6437]

Man. Tempest roar dont drop. Did 15 duriel, no tempest roar. Now i have to farm materials for more duriel...

[@dantevergil6437]

Finally dropped. Now, i unlock th full potential of the build.

[@TheKupidonyx]

Tempest Roar says basic storm skills, how it works with lightning storm even though it's core?

[@barricadettv]

"base" is different than basic. It works :)

[@TheKupidonyx]

@@barricadettv thnx for the answer *)

[@PJSpojken]

Whats up with the skills on planner ? It's not the same as in the video.

[@barricadettv]

Thanks for the feedback, it's been updated. Great catch!

[@matw1770]

How u transform into the wolf ? I dont see any skill causing that on your skill's panel

[@drazul89]

tempest roar, makes ur lightning skills werewolf skills

[@matw1770]

@@drazul89 thanks :)

[@Jordan458_]

that thumbnail tho

[@barricadettv]

Clean work!

[@I_stackzz]

Ace has a new version that does even more dmg too!

[@barricadettv]

yeah I saw as I was making this one, but didn't want to adapt too heavily off the one version that "got me there". Appreciate it!

[@ballzy9012]

Builds with Uber’s already

[@barricadettv]

People had ubers day 1. Unreal eh.

[@MauricioCaran]

this build is weak on single target boss.

[@barricadettv]

Where do you feel weak on ST boss? It blows everything in the game away for me.

[@mattkuhart8694]

Not sure what video you’re watching but this build melts bosses lol.

[@bradjenkins2861]

So let me get this straight. Druid has to fill up 3 useless skill slots for pets he's not going to use just to get bonus damage to still be garbage compared to sorc? LULZ What a well designed game.

[@barricadettv]

you can do whatever you want. This will just pump if you go this way. Use all the skills you want and get whatever playstyle you're looking for brad.

[@bensimpson4245]

Barb main. To me the birds function a bit like War Cry. My level 70 is crushing so far

[@blackbeardbarkbark]

Ravens and vines both give crit chance, definitely not useless. The wolves are for sure useless.

[@pinbi7]

how can i join a cult without paying taxes?(asking for a friend)

[@barricadettv]

LUL!

[@SladewLf]

These dudes using earth skills and name it storm build lmao ur funny

[@barricadettv]

Well good sir. Love it or hate it, you're not clappin anything with Earthen Bulwark lol.

[@SladewLf]

i guess yeah beside the name of the build nice content bud and a nice comentary over the things cheers ! do you have any videos that telling us how do you get specific uniques for each build? @@barricadettv

[@barricadettv]

tempest / starless = duriel. Beast in the ice = gloves. Varshan = Chest armor.@@SladewLf
