One of the classes in Diablo 4 is the Druid. In touch with nature, Druids can shapeshift into werewolves or werebears while also wielding natural Earth magic. In this guide, I've gathered the full Druid skill tree. Bear in mind, Diablo 4 is an ongoing game, so this information is definitely subject to change.
As players share feedback, the developers are going to make alterations in order to improve the overall experience. When we become aware of skills being tweaked, removed, added, or altered, we'll be sure to update this guide. If you haven't grabbed a copy of the game yet, be sure to secure your Diablo 4 preorder based on the version of the game you want.
Power up
Diablo 4 is going to involve a lot of grinding for better loot, so why not pick up an extra controller to make sure you're comfortable? Try out the Core version of the Xbox Elite Controller, and you can upgrade with additional accessories later on.
Diablo 4 Druid Skills
Druids in Diablo 4 have access to Basic Skills, Core Skills, Defensive Skills, Companion Skills, Wrath Skills, Ultimate Skills, and Key Passives. You can mostly take whatever skills you want, though you can only have one activated Ultimate Skill and one Key Passive.
The Druid goes up to level 100 in the full game, where they'll have access to a variety of earth magic, primarily revolving around shapeshifting into werewolves and werebears. The Druid (like other classes) can invest in regular activated skills to a fifth level, with branching options for mutually exclusive skill upgrades. Many of the Druid's skills are powered by Spirit.
Due to how damage is calculated in Diablo 4, I've retracted any damage numbers in the skills below, as there's simply no point in showing them with how they change based on level.
