Diablo 4’s powerful Landslide Druid build can deal incredible damage to single-target enemies and is great for inflicting status effects on your foes. If the Landslide Druid is your choice for Season 5, you’ll need to know about the best leveling, endgame, and PvP builds for this type of Druid.

The Landslide Druid is a popular contender amongst Druid builds for Season of the Infernal Hordes, as it packs a punch with the Landslide skill and allows you to deal focused damage all by yourself, unlike the Companion Druid.

You’ll need the right skills, gear, Aspects, and Glyphs to make this Landslide Druid build work in Season 5. All the details are laid out for you below to help you craft this build.

These are the skills you should grab until you reach level 50 using skill points, as well as your Renown points. Whether or not you’re playing the campaign as you’re leveling, you should have an easy time trudging through enemy waves.

The majority of your damage comes from skills like Landslide, Wind Shear, and Trample. You also have the Defensive Skill Blood Howl, which you can use to heal yourself as you spawn Poison Creepers for sideline damage.

Petrify is a great Ultimate that Stuns and Petrifies enemies for increased Critical Strike Damage. You also have a ton of great Passive Skills to help your survivability and damage rates as you level up.

As a reminder, spending Smouldering Ashes for an EXP boost in the Season 5 Battle Pass will help you reach level 50 much faster than normal.

Best Spirit Boons for leveling

Diablo 4 Druid Spirit Boons

Out of the 16 different Spirit Boons that Druids can unlock, you can only grab five. These are the Spirit Boons we recommend for leveling your Landslide Druid:

  • Deer: Advantageous Beast
  • Eagle: Swooping Attacks, Avian Wrath
  • Wolf: Pack Leader
  • Snake: Calm Before the Storm

The Spirit Boon you should pick up first is Pack Leader, which gives Critical Strikes a chance to reset the Cooldowns of your Companion Skills. Poison Creeper would benefit from this, allowing you to use this Companion Skill more often.

Next, unlock Advantageous Beast for a Movement Speed and Impairment Reduction boost. There’s also Avian Wrath for extra Critical Strike Damage and Swooping Attacks for an Attack Speed buff.

Your final Spirit Boon can be Calm Before the Storm as it gives your Nature Magic Skills a small chance to reduce your Ultimate Skill Cooldown by a couple of seconds. During the end of your leveling build, you’ll need this for the Petrify Ultimate.

Best leveling rotation

  • Poison Creeper
  • Wind Shear
  • Landslide
  • Petrify
  • Trample
  • Blood Howl

Here’s the recommended leveling rotation for your Landslide Druid. First, you’ll want to start with Poison Creeper to passively deal Poison damage and Immobilize enemies. You’ll then hit your enemies with Wind Shear to render them Vulnerable.

Now you can use your best skill Landslide which will Immobilize enemies further and tear through them with enormous damage. Use Petrify for the remaining foes, increasing your Critical Strike Damage and encasing enemies in stone.

You can then utilize Trample, which makes you Unstoppable and generates some Spirit at the same time. At this point your health may be dire, so rely on Blood Howl to heal yourself. Repeat this leveling rotation for easy combat encounters.

Best Legendary Aspects

Although you’re just leveling up this build, there are plenty of helpful Legendary Aspects you should pick up along the way to the endgame. Look out for these Aspects for the Landslide Druid build:

Best Landslide Druid endgame build in Diablo 4 Season 5

Diablo 4 two Druids

Now that you’re at the endgame phase, and hopefully completed the Of Lambs and Wolves questline, you can turn the leveling build into an endgame one. The build isn’t too different, but there are many key changes:

Active Skills

Active SkillUpgradesPoints Allocated
Storm StrikeEnhanced1
Lightning Storm5
LandslideEnhanced, Primal5
Earthen BulwarkEnhanced1
Blood HowlEnhanced, Preserving1
Poison CreeperEnhanced, Ferocious1
PetrifyPrime, Supreme1

The only changes to your Active Skill arsenal are Storm Strike, Lightning Storm, and Earthen Bulwark. Storm Strike is a Basic Skill to generate Spirit and Immobilize enemies, while Lightning Storm won’t be in your hotbar and will be triggered by the Nature’s Fury Passive.

We also have Earthen Bulwark, which can grant your Druid a protective Barrier. Other than these three, all your other skills stay the same.

Passive Skills

Passive SkillPoints Allocated
Heart of the Wild1
Wild Impulses3
Ancestral Fortitude2
Vigilance3
Crushing Earth3
Stone Guard3
Safeguard1
Neurotoxin1
Envenom3
Defiance1
Natural Disaster3
Circle of Life2
Defensive Posture3
Quickshift3
Nature’s Fury1

There aren’t many new Passives introduced in the endgame Landslide Druid build, but there are a few notable ones to point out. Quickshift allows you to deal increased damage after Shapeshifting, which is perfect when using Blood Howl.

Plus, Natural Disaster makes Earth Skills like Landslide deal more damage, while also rendering enemies Vulnerable. This Passive additionally allows your Storm Skills to deal better damage against Stunned, Immobilized, or Knocked Back enemies.

Best Spirit Boons for endgame

  • Deer: Wariness
  • Eagle: Iron Feather OR Swooping Attacks, Avian Wrath
  • Wolf: Pack Leader
  • Snake: Calm Before the Storm

Your Druid Spirit Boons during the endgame shouldn’t change all that much. Keep everything except Advantageous Beast, since you should now switch it to Wariness. This Deer Boon will allow you to take reduced damage from Elites, who will be ever-present during endgame activities.

You could also try switching Swooping Attacks (increased Attack Speed) for Iron Feather while doing things light Nightmare Dungeons or The Pit to stay alive, as it increases your Maximum Life.

As explained before, Avian Wrath deals extra Critical Strike Damage while Pack Leader gives your Critical Strikes a chance to reset your Companion Skill Cooldowns. Then there’s Calm Before the Storm, which gives your Nature Magic Skills a chance to reduce your Ultimate Cooldown.

Best endgame rotation

Diablo 4 Druid casting Petrify
  • Poison Creeper
  • Earthen Bulwark
  • Storm Strike
  • Petrify
  • Landslide
  • Blood Howl

With three different skills active, the endgame rotation works a little differently. Start again with Poison Creeper to Poison and Immobilize nearby enemies. You’ll then use Earthen Bulwark to protect yourself with a Barrier and make you Unstoppable.

Next, you can inflict Storm Strike on your enemies to make them Immobilized. From there, use Petrify to encase enemies in stone and increase your Critical Strike Damage against them.

After that buff, use Landslide to deal maximum damage to your foes. End the rotation with Blood Howl if you’ve gotten hurt and need some health back.

Best Legendary Aspects

Although your Landslide Druid already has a good amount of Legendary Aspects there are a few more that can make this endgame build shine. Grab these Aspects to ensure that your build can work during the higher World Tiers:

Paragon Board

After you hit level 50, you’ll start to earn Paragon Points to invest in your Paragon Board. Alongside these points, you can slot Glyphs into the board for an improved endgame Landslide Druid build.

There are numerous types of Glyphs you can find, but these are the recommended Glyphs you should place on your board.

Best Glyphs

  • Human
  • Earth and Sky
  • Undaunted
  • Outmatch
  • Spirit
  • Territorial

If you’re looking for Glyphs that can enhance your Druid’s Nature Magic Skills, Damage Reduction, and overall damage output, these are the Glyphs for you. These six Glyphs will help your Druid get through levels 50-100 with ease.

Best Landslide Druid endgame item build

There are many gear items to choose from during the endgame for your Landslide Druid. While some of these picks are Legendary items, a lot of them are Uniques, which are tougher to hunt.

These items were picked based on the power they grant, as they have Legendary Aspects which massively buff your Landslide Druid. Keep an eye out for these items:

As a reminder, farm Mother’s Gifts to earn some of the best loot this season.

Best Landslide Druid build for PvP

You’re in luck because the Landslide Druid is considered the best Druid build during Season 5 for PvP play in the Fields of Hatred.

The great thing about the Landslide Druid is that it hits hard against single targets and close enemies. You’ll have a bevy of skills that can inflict nasty Status Effects on enemy players to then wipe them out with your high-damage skills.
