This particular Druid build remains a powerful, easy-to-play experience, even in the Season of the Malignant. After all the class changes, it’s tanky, has significant uptime on attacks, and is fun. However, it does have limited single-target damage, so if you aren’t fighting large groups, it’s less effective in Diablo 4.

When you get to the Paragon Board, these are the boards and glyphs that you will want to focus on in the endgame of Diablo 4.

Paragon Board	Glyph
Starter	Werebear
Ancestral Guidance	Undaunted
Survival Instincts	Exploit

Best Diablo 4 Pulverize Druid Legendary Aspects

The most important Legendary Aspect for this build is Shockwave, and thankfully, it’s unlocked in the Seasonal Journey. Just complete Chapter 2, and you’ll have access to this powerful Pulverize upgrade.

Below is a list of important Legendary Aspects for this build. These are all found in the Codex of Power, except Shockwave, as stated above. In addition, if you want to know the best Unique for this build, it’s Vasily’s Prayer.

Legendary Aspects

• Shockwave: Seasonal Journey Chapter 2
• Mending Stone: Sealed Archives (Dry Steppes)
• Might: Dark Ravine (Dry Steppes)
• Umbral: Champion’s Demise (Dry Steppes)
• Rapid: Buried Halls (Dry Steppes)
• Retaliation: Seaside Descent (Dry Steppes)
• Quicksand: Ferals’ Den (Scosglen)
• Ballistic: Whispering Pines (Scosglen)
• Ursine Horror: Belfry Zakara (Hawezar)
• Rampaging Werebeast: Endless Gates (Hawezar)

When considering gems for this build, you want Ruby for all slots except Weapon/Off-Hand (Emerald) and Jewelry (Skulls, Caged Hearts). There are specific Malignant Hearts that you’ll want in this build as well.

• The Barber (Wrathful)
• Inexorable Force (Devious)
• Revenge (Brutal)

That said, you’ll have to make some sacrifices, as it’s recommended to put Shockwave on your Amulet in most cases. The Barber increases single-target damage and makes AOE clears better, but Inexorable Force increases the power of Grizzly Rage by pulling in Distant enemies. Revenge is pure damage reduction, so go with what suits you.
