Diablo 4's approach to buildcrafting and itemization offers a kind of flexibility that the game has never seen before. With the freedom to make any item Legendary, players now have the opportunity to make their dream builds come true much earlier in their playthroughs.
Druids received a lot of changes since their last appearance in the series, and they've got a ton of new Legendary Aspects to play with in Diablo 4. Here are some of the best ones players can get as they go on their crusade to stop Lilith from dooming Sanctuary.
1 Aspect of the Ursine Horror
Ursine Horror allows Druids to create hybrid Werebear and Earth magic builds by counting the former as part of the latter. With this Aspect equipped, Skills like Pulverize will benefit from Earth passives, including ones that generate Fortify for the sake of empowering Overpower procs.
Unlock this Aspect by completing the Belfry Zakara dungeon in Hawezar.
2 Skinwalker's Aspect
Skinwalker's Aspect is a defensive skill that restores Life every time the Druid changes form. It is a premium survivability Aspect for Shapeshifter builds, especially ones that revolve around the Bestial Rampage passive.
This Aspect is unlocked by finishing the Fading Echo dungeon in Kehjistan.
3 Aspect of the Changeling's Debt
This is a Werebear Aspect that essentially allows all Werebear Skills to consume Poisoning effects on enemies, essentially detonating the DoT for at least 120% of the remaining value. Players can combine this with the Poison Creeper companion and the Ursine Horror Aspect to delete entire screens' worth of enemies in a single hit.
Changeling's Debt can be unlocked by completing the Conclave dungeon in Kehjistan.
4 Aspect of the Rampaging Werebeast
Grizzly Rage is a Skill that gets more valuable the later players are in the game, and this Aspect plays a big part in making that happen. Rampaging Werebeast increases the Druid's Critical Strike Damage per enemy killed while Grizzly Rage is active. Plus, it extends the Ultimate's duration by up to five seconds. Use this together with other Shapeshifting Aspects to max out its benefits.
Aspect of the Rampaging Werebeast can be obtained by finishing the Endless Gates dungeon in Hawezar.
5 Aspect of Retaliation
Druids have a number of ways to gain Fortify, and using Aspect of Retaliation is one of the best ways for players to convert this defensive stat into an offensive one. It increases Core Skill damage based on the amount of Fortify Druids have—this stacks on top of Overpower procs, making it great for any build that relies on dealing damage with this combat mechanic.
Aspect of Retaliation is a reward for clearing the Seaside Descent dungeon in the Dry Steppes.
Like every other class in the game, Druids have Legendary Aspects that only appear on randomly dropped or purchased items. Here are some notable picks that players should be aware of:
- Aspect of the Alpha - Turns Wolf companions into Werewolves
- Trampled Earth - Trample summons Landslide pillars along its path and is now considered a Nature and Earth Skill
- Mighty Storm - Storm Skills now benefit from the Earthen Might Key Passive
- Nature's Savagery - Werewolf and Werebear Skills count as Storm and Earth Skills, respectively, for the Nature's Fury passive
- Conceited Aspect - Deal increased damage when protected by a Barrier
Diablo 4 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
