Introduction
Welcome to our Diablo 4 Druid Landslide Build. Here we will teach you how to re-create this build. Covering the Skill Tree, Paragon Board, Glyphs, and much more! This particular build is also a transition from our Diablo 4 Druid Leveling Guide.
Skill Tree and Paragon Board
Glyph Leveling Priority
For our Diablo 4 Druid Landslide Build we are using the 5 Rare Glyphs to complement our damage and survivability. Getting some Glyphs to level 15 can be a big deal, unlocking a bigger radius around the Glyph. Below we will put them in order of which one to level to 15 first to last.
- 1 – Territorial: We will need the extra radius to reach the required stats. Granting us Damage and Damage reduction from Close targets.
- 2 – Undaunted: We will need the extra radius to reach the required stats. Granting us Damage and Damage reduction while Fortified.
- 3 – Human: We will need the extra radius to reach the required stats. Granting us Damage and Damage Reduction while in Human Form.
- 4 – Spirit: We will need the extra radius to reach the required stats. Granting our Core Skills extra Critical Damage and granting us increased damage when we critically strike.
- 5 – Exploit: We already hit the required stats without upgrading and will take this last for the increased damage it provides.
Class Mechanic (Spirit Boons)
- Deer – Wariness, giving us 10% reduced damage from Elites.
- Eagle – Avian Wrath, giving us 30% increased Critical Strike Damage.
- Wolf (Mastery) – Packleader, giving us Lucky Hit: Critical Strikes have up to a 20% chance to reset the Cooldowns of our Companion Skills and Energize, giving us Lucky Hit: Dealing damage has up to a 15% chance to restore 10 Spirit.
- Snake – Calm Before the Storm, giving us Lucky Hit: Nature Magic Skills have up to a 10% chance to reduce the Cooldown of our Ultimate Skill by 2 Seconds.

Malignant Hearts
Malignant Hearts, a new addition to Diablo 4 through the first Seasonal experience act as a huge boost to your build capabilities. As a result, we recommend using the following Malignant Hearts for this build:
Recommended
- The Calculated (Devious, Utility-World Tier III): After spending 150-200 of your Primary Resource, your next attack Stuns enemies hit for 2 seconds.
- The Malignant Pact (Wrathful, Super): Cycle through a Malignant bonus every 20 kills:
- Vicious: Gain 20% Attack Speed.
- Devious: Core and Basic Skills have a 15% chance to fully restore your Primary Resource.
- Brutal: Every 21 seconds, gain a Barrier absorbing 85-102 damage.
- Tempting Fate (Vicious, Offensive-World Tier III): You gain 40-60% Critical Strike Damage but your Non-Critical Strikes deal 20-15% less damage.
Alternative Choices
- Prudent Heart (Brutal, Defensive-World Tier III): You become Immune for 2.0-4.0 seconds after you lose more than 20% Life in a single hit. This effect can only occur once every 110 seconds.
- Determination (Devious, Utility): Resource draining effects are 40-50% less effective. In addition, gain 3.0-8.0% increased Resource Generation.
Item Affix Priority

How To Play Landslide Druid
How do we actually play this Diablo 4 Druid Landslide Build?
- Use Earthen Bulwark as much as it is up but certainly right before a fight, it’s a 9-second barrier thanks to the aspect we are using.
- Trample into the pack of mobs or towards your primary target.
- Use Vine Creeper to immobilize and poison your enemies.
- Use Landslide as much as your Spirit allows, make sure to use Storm Strike every 3~ seconds for Damage Reduction, Immobilize, and Vulnerability
We are using Landslide up close and personal for this build, being in the thick of battle with high uptime on our Barrier, constant Fortify, and big damage numbers with Landslide. With our Key Passive, we gain the chance for Guaranteed Critical Damage and a Full Restore on our Spirit resulting in great uptime of Landslide.
Vs Elites and Bosses
Fighting with this build is the same when fighting elites / random mobs vs fighting bosses, the style does not change and as such is very beginner friendly. Follow the information above
