In addition to these skills, you’ll want to pick the most useful Spirit Boons, the Druid’s unique class mechanic. They offer a wide variety of bonuses to damage, defense, and utility, like more Spirit. As a Pulverize Druid, you’ll want to unlock these Spirit Boons as soon as possible:

  • Eagle (Swooping Attacks)
  • Snake (Calm Before the Storm)
  • Snake (Masochistic)
  • Stag (Wariness)
  • Wolf (Calamity)

You’ll unlock Spirit Boons over time as you gather more Druidic Spirit Offerings.

Legendaries and Aspects to Equip

As for Aspects, there are quite a few that you’ll need to get this Druid leveling build going in Diablo 4. The good news is that all of the following Aspects can be collected from dungeons:

  • Aspect of Mending Stone: Picked up in the Sealed Archives in Dry Steppes
  • Aspect of Retaliation: Found in Seaside Descent in Dry Steppes
  • Aspect of the Ursine Horror: Acquired in Belfry Zakara in Hawezar
  • Aspect of the Rampaging Werebeast: Picked up in Endless Gates in Hawezar
  • Stormshifter’s Aspect: Earned from completing Crusader’s Cathedral in Kehjistan
  • Aspect of Disobedience: Acquired in Halls of the Damned in Kehjistan
  • Shockwave Aspect: Legendary Aspect
  • Aspect of the Trampled Earth: Legendary Aspect
  • Aspect of the Aftershock: Legendary Aspect

Don’t go out of your way to find the Legendary Aspects, not until you start transitioning into the endgame version of the Pulverize Druid build.

Pulverize Druid Skill Rotation

The Pulverize Druid build’s skill rotation is simple: Trample > Hurricane > Pulverize until the demons are dead. When there are elites and bosses, pop Grizzly Rage for extra damage.

Alternatively, you can swap Hurricane for Debilitating Roar, especially if you’re playing on World Tier 2. If you’re not a fan of Hurricane, Poison Creeper is a great alternative, too. With that setup, it would be Trample > Poison Creeper > Pulverize.

It’s a lot to juggle, but you’ll love how the Pulverize Druid leveling build feels in Diablo 4. For more related content, you can check out the links below. We highly suggest collecting the latest Legendary Aspects added in Season of the Malignant!
