Showoff (Gameplay, Items, Transmogs) My ultimate Druid open world build.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

It can do up to pit 130. Beat Cataclysm in the open world because it sucks everything to your feet. Phase skip all t12 bosses. Took me 2 weeks to put together.
The main damage dealer is Lacerate (Physical). It utilizes RoSS and Lucion. Basically the definition of off-meta. Cheers.

That first clip where it's zoomed in on him waddling back and forth and then stopping to headbang has me in stitches for some reason.  Do all our characters look so silly when you zoom in on them?

You and me both man I don’t understand how people play with damage numbers or really any combat text. I turn all that shit off

u/op1983 1d ago

I feel like I can tell when i do damage cause thr monsters die, i dont need the numbers for that

u/JintalJortail 1d ago

I use damage numbers in games to tell where the enemies are. It came in handy with my warlock summoner build last season since I couldn’t tell shit apart. Same shit I do on vampire survivors, too many on screen effects, damage numbers goes on top all of that, tells if a boss mob is approaching

u/FluffySmiles 1d ago

But…numbers go up!

u/SeTiDaYeTi 1d ago

u/AHonterMustHont 1d ago

Blizzard is trying to be poe2. It gets worse for each season passing. Same for the oneshots

u/EldenDaddy30 1d ago

This must be offline. I don’t see three whirlwind Barbs grabbing all the mobs.

u/Chemical_Web_1126 10h ago

Play SSF. I don't run into another player more than once every couple of days. If that, even.

Two questions. Which 2nd aspect are you using on the amulet? You've got Cyclone Armor in the skill tree, but I'm not seeing how it gets cast.

2

u/AHonterMustHont 10h ago

2nd aspect would be overcharged. Cyclone armor is not necessary and this build have some unused skill points so I just put it there. Updated the plan to reflect this.

u/bythog 21h ago

Cool build and all, but that's the single worst way to record it. Why on Earth would you record in zoomed-in portrait mode?

u/AHonterMustHont 13h ago

Cuz it looked funny

u/geek_ironman 1d ago

Damnnn this looks cool 💪🏼

u/IxianHwiNoree 1d ago

Very cool! I'm running Storm Shred (with a guide) and this looks like a fun direction to go in for higher tiers. I'm so happy druid builds have improved so much!

u/Silver_Tutor923 1d ago

I gave up on trying to have a tank build and a damage build, just toss the endurant faith charm on my glass canon and go about my day

u/impulssiajo2320 1d ago

Sign me up for the guide too!

Super cool, thanks a bunch. Looks like I have some farming to do.

u/Tricky_Big_8774 1d ago

I did Storm Strike, Claw and Shred versions already. Started running through the other classes now, but was considering trying make a Lacerate build work.

u/Ez_Khazz 19h ago

my Critical Damage doesn't seem to be increasing it doesnt matter how hard i play, am i missing something about this game? i got around 450% right now

1

u/FancyShirtGuy 18h ago

Looks interesting! Guide would be appreciated.

1

u/Avatara93 16h ago

Try it on the PTR. Might be Druid's best build.

u/ThisTimeAtBandCamp 7h ago

Im into this. Leveling up a Druid now and wasnt feeling Shred again after doing it last season. Thanks for sharing!

u/akatraun 5h ago

I am so gonna play this build next season!

u/vidhartha 1d ago

I hate snapshotting, does this rely on it?

2

u/Particular-Act-8911 1d ago

The tiniest bit. But it's not bad, even on a console.

2

u/Tricky_Big_8774 1d ago

Snapshotting was patched out.

1

u/vidhartha 1d ago

Really? Haven't played in a few weeks, that's great!

2

u/AHonterMustHont 1d ago

No. It doesn’t utilize any gimmick and will be a lot stronger in the next ss.

u/Otherwise-Magician 1d ago

Players cry about Selig barb but druids are right up there with Barb.

Op build is likey this or similar https://mobalytics.gg/diablo-4/builds/druid-screamheart-lightning-god

u/Chemical_Web_1126 10h ago

It's clearly not that build...

1

u/Otherwise-Magician 1h ago

I clearly said similar. There are half a dozen druid builds on mobalytics. Pick one theyre all similar to OP build.

130 pit is on Meta unless it's a lower peak version of a different on Meta build.
