When it comes to endgame content in Diablo 4, survivability is key. But you also need to be able to deal damage to elites and control crowds of low-level enemies, so building out your class’ best archetype is a daunting task.
For Druids in the endgame, you’re going to want to use your ability to turn into a massive, Earth-shattering, horrifying Werebear that’s borderline unkillable if you use your ability cooldowns and passive skills properly.
Here’s the current best Druid build for grinding out endgame content in Diablo 4.
Best Druid endgame Diablo 4 build
This endgame build for the Druid is built around staying alive with survival-based skills to Fortify and generate Barrier, using Pulverize to deal massive damage to crowds of enemies, and consistently turning into a massive Werebear while keeping your Spirit topped up at all times.

The skill points in this build are highly focused on buffing your Earth skills and survivability, turning you into a rampaging Werebear that is tough to kill and also uses crowd control and debuffs to keep the enemies suffering.

We suggest heading into fights with large groups of enemies and elites by triggering Grizzly Rage and Debilitating Roar to kick it off. When it’s time to deal damage, Pulverize is our main source, and Earthen Bulwark is our main defensive skill to Fortify yourself and form a Barrier to prevent incoming damage, which is already debuffed by several passives.
