Diablo 4 Season 1 Druid Starter Build - Pulverize

the going on with Sean man and welcome to the season one Druid starter build pulverize and now you're probably wondering why pulverize why not tornado or something else tornado is definitely a good Druid build but I don't know about I played it I played it a bunch okay I didn't play The Werewolf tornado which uh it's it's really hard to play because you need to find the uh a certain unique to play that build temper's roar I believe is what it's called I never found Tempest Roar so tornado didn't feel it just didn't feel very good it didn't feel very strong it felt actually it felt the weakest out of all all of the all the builds that I played so far okay but I tried pulverize and um it didn't feel that bad it felt pretty good so because of that I chose to make it the starter build for the season one um they might there might be other stronger ones yes true but as far as my play style goes I like smashing okay I like doing a lot of damage and pulverize uh definitely does that okay so uh here is this the starter build I also have a mid game version after you hit Level 50 and have to after you unlock World tier three and then I have an end game version where you find uh this unique vasilis vasilis prayer and um can really you know shake up and really have a really strong build going okay so I'm gonna explain all three of these uh and if if you're wondering why I'm doing a a a a video like this yes my video quality is is gonna is gonna take a hit mainly because of two things one the season starts tomorrow season starts tomorrow and the patch was yesterday so I had to wait for the patch to actually make accurate you know builds uh and I want to play season one I want to have a lot of time to play season one and um you know being married and I have a full-time job it's kind of hard to do that so I kind of I gotta pump these videos out before tomorrow you know what I'm saying um so yes there will be a quality loss in these videos I'm sorry but the quantity and the content will still be here and maybe even better because this website that I found is really good d4builds.gg it shows you the gear shows you the aspects it shows you the stats you can put on them it shows you what's what your skill bar is going to look like it shows you what gems to put it shows you the unique class mechanic that you have for that class uh your skill tree you can order it too the Paragon board it even shows you what stats you'll have at the end for the for whatever you put on your character and you can even put in some notes and a little YouTube build showcase so it's a very good website that I found that I think I'm going to use from now on to show you guys some builds just because it's it's so damn easy to to see and to to to edit yourself you know I'm saying it's a really nice way to provide someone a build template um and have them do whatever they want with it so with that being said let's go ahead and explain the pulverize Druids so here are the aspects that I'd recommend using the first thing you want to get is the Shockwave aspect it makes pulverize uh just it it adds a bunch of quality of life to the build without this you'll be okay but with this you'll be more than okay so make sure you get this as soon as possible unfortunately this cannot be obtained through a dungeon it has to be obtained on a random legendary piece of gear luckily I found it was pretty um it was pretty common to find this aspect so as soon as you find this no matter what rolled extract it put it on it put it on a ring and uh call it a day all right and of course these other ones are kind of a combo so um pulverize uh turns into an earth skill through ursine horror and because it is now our Earth skill Earth skills slow enemies so you can apply a huge low a nice crowd control and that will open up other things like crowd control stats and crowd control passives right so this is a nice little combo here and luckily these can be obtained through dungeons so once you obtain Shockwave and then get get these quickly uh your Builder will literally go online and you'll be just flying to the content all right and as far as the gems go for weapons and armor you're gonna be put in rubies for overpower damage because you'll be doing uh you will uh overpower damage is calculated by your life and your fortify and you'll have a lot of life and a lot of fortify so during the leveling process overpower damage will be your uh will amount to a lot okay and of course armor for leveling we're going to be using life and normally for leveling and for end game you would want to Sock It in skulls for your for your jewelry but in the season one The malignant mechanic they will drop caged hearts and these will be socketed in your jewelry instead of skulls and these give really good Buffs I picked the ones that give good resource generation but um or just found just found really useful for the build but this is all up to you okay I think malignant pact is going to be one that every class uses because it gives attack speed it gives a chance to fully restore your primary resource huge and a good way to obtain a barrier so I think malignant packed is going to be the best one just because it's very Universal just like the exploit glyph used in Paragon boards you know what I'm saying but who knows these have haven't really been tested again I just picked the really good slash cool ones but this is all this is totally up to you much like the rest of this build guide so yeah caged hearts for your jewelry socket them in when you get them as you're leveling obviously uh and the main skills that we're going to use is Earth and bull work this is our main defensive skill it gives us a barrier makes us Unstoppable and gives us fortify literally one of the best defensive skills in the game pop this when you're about to get into some or when you're in some you know what I'm saying um this should be trample hey look trample trample so yeah a trample is our movement skill but honestly I you I ended up using this skill to initiate because it charges Ford knocks back and stuns mobs including Elites so I I use this to initiate and then start popping them off with uh some pulverize right also pulverize is kind of a mid-range um mid-range long range build so you want to knock them back away from you and then start hitting them with polarizes right and it also grants nice fortify uh poison creeper is basically uh our way to apply poison um but also there is a there is a new aspect there is a new legendary aspect I believe that makes poison creeper uh even stronger so if you end up finding that aspect I would go ahead and slap that on too um but we're only going to be using poison creeper for the leveling process at least for now but with that aspect it might be even stronger than what I've chosen for the mid game and end game builds the problem is I haven't tested those so I can't know if if it's reliable or not but there isn't there is a poison creeper aspect uh a new one I believe um so if you find if you end up finding that go ahead and use it why not but it's basically a way to apply poison uh to open up damage stats and other passive stats you know what I'm saying uh grizzly rage is our ultimate this is a pretty common ultimate for all Druid builds it gives you Unstoppable damage reduction fortify it's just crazy it's just crazy it makes you stronger both offensively and defensively you know what I'm saying uh here is our main basic skill now at first we actually use storm strike and then we we respect into into Mall which I'll show you in a bit um thanks to this this build calculator but we use them all you know I'm saying to basically to just generate a spirit uh give us fortify um and yeah and then of course we get the modifier to increase the range of the skill so without them being total melee range right and of course here is pulverize our main damage skill if you have the spirit use this ability and remember this is a mid-range long-range build all right this is not a melee build so you want to be a little bit uh further you know what I'm saying um but yeah this is this has a ton of damage and along with the with some aspects like we've chosen here it really makes this build go online like I said right uh and as far as the spirit Boons go for the deer You're Gonna Go weariness for the wolf you're gonna uh pick energize some more spirit you're gonna for the snake You're Gonna Go masochist for uh for some heel and you're gonna bond with the eagle and grab Scythe towns for Critical Strike chance and sweeping attacks for attack speed okay and that is the main page for that is the gearing skills let's go to the skill tree and here is uh what what order to get the skills when to respect them and when what what to re what to put in place right this side is so useful that it tells you when I respect and when I you know removed points I want to added points very useful uh and of course this assumes you also have the 10 renowned skill points from from getting renowned three in all regions assuming you've had a character before season one or something like that you know what I mean so there is that I'm not gonna go I'm not gonna go each and every single passive I've already gone over the main skills which I think is enough basically the passives all give you know offense defense uh spirit generation fortify barrier movement speed whatever the build needs these passive give it and I would not change them you know what I'm saying uh okay so there is that uh and again if you wanna if you want to see this if you want to look at anything that I'm looking at just click the links down below I have linked all three of these builds down below for you to see for you to you know guide along with and free for you to use while you're leveling in in the new season of Diablo 4 okay link down below don't forget and for the Paragon board I just I just for the starter build I just put in with the first page you know I put in the first page where you'll be putting an X split glyph which is the easiest way to apply vulnerable and of course give us some a little bit of extra vulnerable damage okay let's go to the notes uh and as far as leveling from 1 to 50 I have actually made a leveling guide on that the the most optimized uh very easy to follow laid out blueprint to from levels one to fifty that is there so go check that out when you can um but I want to know that there is there is actually an outdated nightmare dungeon tier list in that guide which is which is updated in these notes over here so don't worry bam yeah but yeah I just want to let y'all know for that uh and as far as Weapons go we're going to be focusing on two-handed maces um while leveling up but really realistically just find any two-handed weapon that has high DPS and you should be just fine and of course once you've unlocked World tier 3 and are Level 50 and whatnot then we're going to swap to the mid game build and here are the main differences for the mid game build here are all the aspects that we use Bing Bang Boom no uniques all aspects super strong when you combine all them and we changed the gems from rubies for on both to emeralds and our weapon for multiple damage uh and half fire for damage reduction well fortified and we're always going to be fortified so this is definitely the the gem the gym that I want to use and as far as our main skills though everything is the same except for debilitating work we change we change out poison and we put in this instead uh to have us turn into a goddamn wear bear and it's also one of our best defensive skills because it gives us fortify and it also heals us gives us a nice a nice heel per second as we're fighting mobs so a nice thing to pop with grizzly rage um to just become an absolute beast and a literal Beast a Werebear okay uh and and the spirit Boons there is a there is a slight change for deer we take weariness reduce damage against Elite same thing for eagle swooping attacks same thing for Wolf we extended the duration of ultimate skills with Calamity and we bond with the snake to get masochist and calm before the storm again another ultimate um booster okay and of course for each piece of gear not only do not only do we have the aspects we have if you hover over them you can see what stats and uh the stats are also listed down here as well so each gear has the aspect where to get the aspect and four stats that are that are the most important for that piece of gear super useful super easy to follow uh and I'm pretty sure I'll be using this method to show you guys builds from now on it's just it's just too easy to to make and to see you know what I'm saying so there is all that just for you I'm not going to go over each and every single skill I mean there's offense defense ranks to skills damage reduction all that good shits moving speed Spirit cost reduction all that good it's here okay let's go to the skill tree the skill tree is different from the starter build so make sure you respect into this exactly okay again not going to explain it it's pretty self-explanatory just different uh just different stuff here and there different passives different active skills and one or one different active skill from from trample to the build to build setting Aurora that's really the only difference in some other passive skills um and as far as the Paragon board here is the Paragon board we only use 207 points because again this is the mid game build without using any uniques and then we'll go to the end game build as soon as I'm done here okay so let's talk about the Paragon board real quickly we're going to start out with exploit again vulnerable easiest way to apply vulnerable some classes uh struggle with this uh but this the X plug glyph makes it so we can apply vulnerable super easily and gives us nice vulnerable damage as well okay additional uh the second board is the ancestral guidance board rule socket in the where bear um the Weber glyph which gives us increased damage and damage reduction in Weber form super useful then we go up top go up and we we put in the survival instincts board and we socket in the undaunted glyph which gives us increased damage while fortified and damage reduction while fortified um which we're going to always be fortified so this is pretty much always up and we also pick up the legendary node here for this board where it says while in Weber form you deal one percent increase damage up to 50 for every one percent difference in current life percentage between you and the enemy and because um we get a lot of life in this build this will most likely be maxed out especially uh most likely against um you know little mobs but sometimes Elites too you know sometimes Elites too uh okay there's that oh what'd I do here what'd I do here okay whoops um next we go to the left part left the disc board the fourth board we go to the constricting tendrils board and we sock it in spirit um to get increased Critical Strike damage and then critical strikes increase the damage of an anime texture view by times two percent for 20 seconds up to times 12. super strong all right we don't get a legendary note here though and I believe that the only legendary nodes that we're interested in is the one that we talked about uh some other instincts and the next one our fifth and final Board of the mid game build Earth and Devastation where our Earth skills deal 30 increased damage to enemies affected by crowd control and because we're always slowing VR aspects and because one of our aspects also changes pulverize into an earth skill this uh huge damage increase will always be active pretty much right and of course the glyph that we socket in this fifth board is the Fang and Claw which cranks which grants a huge bonus to all magic notes within range and then we just get the nice little Critical Strike magic notes and the resistance and whatnot okay very strong there okay let's go to the notes again leveling guide 150 check that out when you can the weapons that we want to focus on are staffs because of their implicit that they give okay so the highest DPS 200 statute that you could find put that on uh here's the glyph level priority to level 15 exploit wear bear undaunted Spirit outmatch these are an order of importance probably the amount of damage that it gives or the amount of utility that it gives uh here's some here are some elixirs powerful offensive and defensive elixirs and some and some intenses that you could use as well um you know to make the build even stronger and of course here is the top 10 nightmare dungeon tier list for um all the for for anything that because the best way to level up in this game is through nightmare Dungeons and because they are changing the nightmare dungeon list from preseason to season one here is the new top 10 list um which has only been tested for about a day or two so this is not totally accurate but just use this list for now it's pretty solid on the best dungeons to run according to XP and according to the amount of time that it took to complete uh these dungeons okay and of course the fastest way to Gear Up is through hell Tides uh which also gives you forgotten souls and forgotten Souls is the best material in the game forgotten Souls is what makes your gear go from meh to Godlike because you can fully upgrade them and you can enchant the stats to make it perfect okay and of course once you've obtained the unique Helm vasilis prayer and fix your spirit problems we can now go to the end game build and here it is not much of a difference it's just the helm we take out the we take out the aspect in the other Helm and we put in basilis your Earth skills are now also where bear skills and uh fortify you and so pulverize gets turned into an earth skill via Shockwave or sorry via um via quicksand wait via okay sorry we'll do we'll do it again retake pulverize gets turned into an earth skill from Earth sign horror and now it's because now it's an earth skill our Earth skills are now turned into wear bear skills so a equals b equals c pulverized turns into a werebearer skill which makes it even stronger which is why it's a build enabler and um which is why this is an end game build for this guide okay and as far as the differences here um I believe there's no difference in the aspects yeah the aspects are pretty much in the same space it's just the helmet it's just the helmet um same Boons same boons right slightly different skill tree because we're going to use Earth Spike instead of Mall because we are now fully because we have no problems regetting Spirit we are now fully a ranged build all right we want to fight for mid-range to long range and mall is a melee skill Earth strike we can we can cast from a distance okay so that's why we change to Earth strike there and of course Earth skills do turn into um wear bear skills so yeah it makes that even stronger so boom boom Earth Spike instead of maul that is the main difference for the main skills um and as far the Paragon board also changes as well it pretty much we pretty much redo the whole Paragon board once you get this Helm you respect all your Paragon board and let's talk about it so the first board I believe we took exploit last time we're not going to put in spirit this time uh which we talked about already second board so I survival instincts we use out match which is which is a new glyph that we use which gives us bonus to all rare notes within range um and increased physical damage against I guess not Elise and bosses huge there all right nice nice boost to these rare nodes as well then we go left Earthen Devastation board wear bear node already talked about that then we go up inner Beast board new board with the undaunted node the Fortified node then we go back to the third board but instead we go left um let me pick up ancestral guidance after spending 75 Spirit you deal 30 increased damage five seconds you will pretty much discipliners always be active because uh we'll be spamming pulverize for the whole goddamn time right but we don't take we actually don't take any glyphs in this board because we just want the answers because the answers for guidance is so goddamn strong we just want to use that then we go back to the fourth board we go left and the sixth board we get is constricting tendrils and that's where we put an exploit because it is there's a lot of dexterity nodes around there to fully maximize the vulnerable damage that we get from that that glyph all right there's the full 225 pointer Paragon board fully optimized just for you notes uh again leveling guy 150 there it is weapons still going to use staffs because uh yeah and we're going to be on do we use staffs let me let me double check yes yes we're gonna be using mainly staffs all right cool uh and here's the glyph priority level to level 21 slightly different from the oh I think it's actually the same yeah it's the same as the low 15 one so no difference here but yeah level these glyphs in this order on most important same Elixir same in sentence same number done just to run and again faster the faster way to get ancestral gear or the fastest way to even Farm your unique Helm for this build vasily's prayer is to God damn do the hell Tides okay they're super useful they're super easy and they don't take that long to do all right and of course I'll make sure to link some some useful tools like the the interactive map or the hell tied mystery chest tracker all that will be linked down below along with these three guides the starter build the mid game build and the end game build for the pulverize Druid okay and that's pretty much it that's it baby that's it again I'm sorry for the quality loss in these videos it is what it is I I want to play season one of Diablo 4 and that starts tomorrow so I have to pump five of these videos out today all right um and now I have finished I believe I finished Rogue Barbarian Necromancer and now Druid I
