Welcome to the Diablo 4 Druid Build Tier List for the Gauntlet Season guide! Our aim here is to give you all the information you need to demolish leaderboards with the best Druid builds, so let's get right into it and find out which ones reign supreme. 

 

• Stormclaw Build – A Tier
• Shred Build – High A Tier
• Pulverize Build – S Tier
• Lightning Storm Build – S Tier
• Tornado Build – S Tier
• Boulder Build – Potential Best Build

 

 

 

↖ Stormclaw Build – A Tier

First up we have the Stormclaw build that has received a significant buff in the latest patch. With vampiric powers making a return and Moonrise providing an attack speed and basic skill damage boost, this build is quite powerful. But while it performs well against bosses and definitely deserves its A Tier ranking, it may not make S Tier this season particularly in party play.

 

↖ Shred Build – High A Tier

The Shred build was a favorite of many last season but will be slightly demoted from S to High A Tier due to changes this time around. Despite its swift mobility and fantastic AoE clear time, focusing on bossing won't allow it to shine as bright this season. However, with some standout features still intact, if you're someone who loves using Shred then stay tuned for updates on how it performs.

 

↖ Pulverize Build – S Tier

A dark horse contender that is coming up strong is the Pulverize build that works great with Shred for added mobility. It shows incredible promise when taking down bosses so long as overpower procs are consistently maintained. Should it continue going strong throughout testing then there's a high chance that this will end up being the top-tier build for Gauntlet. We're keeping our eyes on Pulverize as we put it in S Tier for now.

 

↖ Lightning Storm Build – S Tier

Possibly one of the most popular builds this season is Lightning Storm due to new Ashati gloves being introduced into the game. While their playstyle may be fun and they are indeed an S Tier build, you may struggle with bosses. This is due to inconsistency in burst damage over longer fights and could make things difficult in Gauntlet's boss-heavy environment. Nevertheless, Lightning Storm is an electrifying choice for the season.

 

↖ Tornado Build – S Tier

Tornado has stepped up its game when it comes to mobility while still keeping boss damage capabilities in check. While it doesn't necessarily melt large groups of enemies, it can swiftly eliminate elites as required by Gauntlet's format. We're placing Tornado in S Tier alongside Lightning Storm but keep your eyes peeled as it may even rise to the top.

 

↖ Boulder Build – Potential Best Build

Last but not least we have the Boulder build which combines Shred's high mobility with an insane single-target damage output. It's our top pick for becoming the best build this season and we'll be going on a deep dive soon into how you can make that happen with my Boulder build guide linked below.

 

And that concludes our Druid Build Tier List for Diablo 4's Gauntlet Season! I'm off to visit the dentist for a bit so hang tight until I get back. In the meantime, rest assured there will be plenty of updates and insights upon my return. May this guide help pave your path to victory!
