Season 4 - Loot

Share on Social

Welcome to the Support Druid Endgame Guide, our first dedicated support guide for Diablo 4! This build is overflowing with defensive and utility options for group play, as well as a handful of offensive choices that aren't to be overlooked. The Season of Loot Reborn was very kind to Support Druid, as the itemization changes allow us to cap Attack and Movement Speed, drastically improve Cooldown reduction, more efficiently scale Debilitating Roar and Petrify uptime, and add Daze to our wide array of monster debuffs. With proper Cooldown Reduction and Tempering, it is newly possible to permanently inflict the damage debuff from Debilitating Roar!

Offensive Buffs

  • Vulnerable (Exploit, Storm Strike)
  • +10% Critical Strike Chance (Blood Howl)
  • +15% increased Attack Speed (Blood Howl)

Defensive Buffs

  • x70% less enemy damage dealt (Debilitating Roar)
  • 19%+ damage reduction (Cyclone Armor)
  • 30%+ Max Life Heal (Blood Howl)

Crowd Controls

  • 65% Slow (Debilitating Roar)
  • Maximum Duration Stun (Petrify)
  • Daze (Concussive Strikes)
  • Immobilize (Storm Strike)
  • Knock Back (Cyclone Armor)

Our Specialized Builds are late game builds with specific requirements and purposes. In this case, the build does not deal meaningful damage on its own and is reliant on supporting party play. To get there, we recommend you use one of our existing level 50-100 Endgame Build Guides.

Season 4 - Loot Reborn

In Season 4, the Season Theme revolves around helping out the Iron Wolves. Compared to past themes, this one does not offer any borrowed power as the entire game has been redesigned with new itemization and crafting options, increasing player power substantially across the board. Instead, you can gather reputation similar to the Vampire Bounty Board from Season 2 to unlock rewards that supercharge your leveling journey to 100 with extra items, crafting materials and eventually even a Resplendent Spark to craft an uber unique.

We recommend to follow the seasonal questline until you unlock the reputation system, check which rewards suit you most and then follow your regular leveling path. To learn more, check out our full Season 4 guide for more information.

Gameplay

Gain Unstoppable and Barrier from Earthen Bulwark as you make your approach. Once in range, inflict a massive Slow and Damage Reduction debuff on monsters with Debilitating Roar while bolstering your party's damage with Blood Howl and Nighthowler's Aspect. Get to the heart of the enemy hoard and cast Petrify to inflict a long-duration Stun and begin grouping mobs around you with Airidah's Inexorable Will and Godslayer Crown. Spam Storm Strike on the pack to inflict Daze and Vulnerable, gain Damage Reduction, and recover Cooldowns via Hectic and Symbiotic. Rinse and repeat.
