Werewolf Tornado Druid Endgame Guide

Season 3 - ConstructA-Tier

Share on Social

Welcome to the Tornado Druid Endgame Guide for Diablo 4! If you've played Tornado Druid in Diablo 2, you may recall the skill's random pathing making it difficult to hit targets. Fortunately, in this installment, this problem is largely solved by Stormchaser's Aspect. It makes things easy as Tornados rip apart Open World Content and Nightmare Dungeons of any Tier!

Without Tempest Roar and Dire Wolf's Aspect, the final build is not functional. We strongly encourage you to acquire these and other pieces before transitioning to this build.

Once acquired, the gameplay is very beginner-friendly. First, cast a couple Storm Strikes to generate some Spirit, then shift into Grizzly Rage and start spamming Tornado. Between Dire Wolf's Aspect, Spirit Generation on Critical Strikes and on Kill from your Paragon Board, and the Lucky Hit procs from Tempest Roar, you should be able to spam the hell out of your Core skill.

Grizzly Rage, Savage Hurricane, and solid Fortify generation provide multiple layers of defense. Blood Howl grants Healing on a short Cooldown and the Tornado Druid has little trouble reaching the Movement Speed cap.

Perfect Storm prevails as our Key Passive for additional Damage and Spirit generation.

Season 3 - Season of the Construct

In Season 3, you obtain the Seneschal Construct through the Season Questline, then collect Governing Stones or Tuning Stones to add attacks and augment them to support your build. Only certain Tuning Stones work with a particular Governing Stone. Look at the bottom of any Tuning Stone tooltip to see if it is compatible with your Construct's currently equipped Stones. Lastly, they can be leveled up by getting duplicates to max out their power. Check out our full Season 3 guide for more information.

  • Lightning Bolt - A ranged attack intended to incapacitate and debuff newly encountered enemies.
    • Arcing - Improves the coverage and range of Lightning Bolt
    • Mockery - A useful distraction for all enemies that also helps group melee mobs.
    • Efficiency - Provides a massive critical strike chance bonus, which benefits our many Critical Strike Multipliers.
  • Flash of Adrenaline - A nice boon to our overall damage output.
    • Tactical - Reduces to cooldown of Flash of Adrenaline
    • Duration - Increases the uptime of both Flash of Adrenaline and Safeguard.
    • Safeguard - An all-around solid defensive option.
Tornado Druid Seneschal Construct

Alternative Stones

  1. Registered Damage - As our Construct's main focus is grouping mobs, this Support could be tremendous for clear if the damage Constructs do is worthwhile.
  2. Initiative - This Support may prove useful or even necessary if the Construct struggles to position itself.

If you are lucky enough to find Genesis from Uber Malphas, put it in place of Safeguard Support in the above setup. If you find Evernight, it can take the place of Mockery.

Skill Tree & Gameplay

Active Skills

  • Tornado is your main damage Skill. It can be spammed relentlessly with the prerequisite sources of Spirit Cost Reduction and Sprit Generation.
  • Storm Strike serves as a backup source of Spirit generation that provides a modest amount of Damage Reduction and reliably inflicts Vulnerable.
  • Hurricane provides great utility by slowing enemies, reducing their damage, stacking up Rampaging Werebeast's Critical Strike Damage bonus, and restoring Spirit through Lust for Carnage.
  • Grizzly Rage brings ramping Damage over its duration and through Rampaging Werebeast. It also provides Damage Reduction, a short burst of Unstoppable and massive Spirit Cost Reduction and Movement Speed bonuses when paired with Dire Wolf's Aspect. As such, we do everything we can to maximize its uptime.
  • Blood Howl's Attack Speed bonus allows us to get out as many Tornados as possible. It also serves as a reliable Heal since its Cooldown resets with kills.

Passives

  • With Tempest Roar, a single point in Toxic Claws enables your Storm Skills to consistently Crowd Control mobs with Neurotoxin and activate Envenom's bonus, while enabling us to benefit from both Damage to and Damage Reduction from Poisoned enemies.

Spirit Boons

Druids can choose 5 out of 16 Passive bonuses (Boons) from 4 different spirits. You have to bond with one of the Spirits in Túr Dúlra to activate two of its Boons. The remaining Spirits can only have one Boon each. Use the following Boons:

  • Deer Spirit: Wariness for additional defense where we need it most.
  • Eagle Spirit: Scythe Talons helps damage and to restore resource via Lust for Carnage.
  • Wolf Spirit: Calamity improves Grizzly Rage uptime, a critical Cooldown for this build.
  • Snake Spirit: Calm Before the Storm helps us recover Grizzly Rage's Cooldown more quickly.

Bond with the Eagle Spirit and activate Avian Wrath for a hefty Critical Strike Damage bonus.

Resource & Cooldown Management

Managing your Resources and Cooldowns is crucial to the success of this build.

Resource Aspect of the Umbral

Used exclusively in the early endgame, Primal Tornado triggers this Aspect on every hit. When you have access to Tempest Roar and Dire Wolf's Aspect, this Aspect and Skill Upgrade are no longer necessary.

Reclamation

This Rare Paragon Node and its Magic Nodes grant you Spirit for every monster you kill.

Lust for Carnage

Since you are constantly hitting enemies with Tornado and Hurricane and have a high Critical Strike Chance, this Legendary Node provides a massive and fairly reliable source of Spirit sustain.

Cooldown Reduction

Calm Before the Storm reduces the all-important Grizzly Rage cooldown through Lucky Hit Chance. This effect occurs even while Grizzly Rage is active, so make sure to stack up as much Lucky Hit Chance as you can!

Paragon Board

Carefully check your Paragon Boards to ensure correct board rotation. Glyphs go from a radius of 3 to 4 when they reach level 15! There are a few boards here, so let's go over when to use them:

  • If you've yet to acquire Tempest Roar and Dire Wolf's Aspect, follow the "Human Form" paragon board throughout your leveling progression. This build is considerably weaker in the mid game without these items, so you may want to consider a different build until you acquire them. Use the slider to level with this board!
  • Once you have Tempest Roar, use the "Werewolf Form" board for leveling. Use the slider to level with this board!
  • The level 100 paragon board pushes key Spirit-generating sources such as Lust for Carnage and Reclamation to later boards in order to prioritize more valuable Rare node bonuses. As such, we don't recommend using this board prior to level 100. This board assumes you have found Tempest Roar.
Werewolf Form
Human Form
Level 100 Respec

The switch to Werewolf requires a bit of a respec on the Paragon Board. Stick with the Human-Form Board until you reach level 74 (or level 69 with all Renown completed).

← Scroll to Level →
← Scroll to Level →
Level 100 Respec

Level the Paragon Board by scrolling. Each step optimizes progression.

Glyphs

We need to level up our Glyphs to increase their power and activate their Additional Bonus with surrounding nodes. Glyphs have a radius of 3 by default; this increases to 4 at Glyph level 15. Complete Nightmare Dungeons to obtain Glyph experience.

Note: There are some Glyph position swaps and a few adjustments to surrounding Paragon nodes once they reach level 15. See the last steps in the Paragon progression above. The setup displayed by default is the final version of the build.

Glyph Leveling Priorities

Level 15

  1. Undaunted
  2. Exploit
  3. Werewolf
  4. Territorial
  5. Earth and Sky

Level 21

  1. Territorial
  2. Exploit
  3. Werewolf
  4. Earth and Sky
  5. Undaunted

By level 100, we additionally want to have leveled Fang and Claw to at least level 15. This Glyph will replace Undaunted in our final board.

If you intend to challenge Pinnacle Bosses with this build, level Outmatch as well.

Endgame Progression & Variants

When you start diving into the Endgame, you don't have all the tools available to achieve the final build versions. Let us guide you through different progression points to give you a smooth transition from our Leveling Guides to the final build version.

Progression Goals

Some of your Skill Tree choices depend on what Legendary Aspects and Unique items are available to you. These are listed in priority order:

  1. Unlock the following Aspects from Dungeons:
  2. Find the following Legendary Aspects either as a random drop or by gambling with Obols:
    • Stormchaser's: Gamble Totems.
    • Accelerating: Gamble Totems.
    • Dire Wolf's: Gamble Totems.
    • Metamorphosis: Gamble Boots.
    • Rampaging Werebeast: Gamble Totems.
    • Shepherd's: Gamble Totems (used in the Gauntlet/Pet variant)
    • Stampede: Gamble Totems (used in the Gauntlet/Pet variant)
  3. Acquire the following Unique items either as a random drop or by farming specific Boss drops.
    • Tempest Roar - Replacing Mending Stone in our Best-in-Slot setup, this Helmet applies both Werewolf and Shapeshifting tags to our Storm Skills, allowing for a wide variety of Paragon and Passive Skill synergies, in addition to enabling us to use our Storm Skills during Grizzly Rage when paired with Dire Wolf's Aspect.
    • Mad Wolf's Glee - This adds a healthy boost to damage and movement speed at the cost of a more Defensive Chest Armor.
    • Tibault's Will
  4. If you're lucky enough to obtain the following Uber Uniques, they're useful for the build.
    • Ring of Starless Skies - See the attached planner for an adjusted setup incorporating this Uber Unique.

Once you have completed the leveling process to 50, only the Codex of Power Aspects are guaranteed. With this setup, you can farm the Legendary Aspects and Unique items you need for the next progression point.

Gear

  • Put Retaliation on your amulet for maximum damage output.
  • Expectant and Edgemaster’s can be placed interchangeably on Rings or Gloves.
  • Umbral on a Ring provides massive Spirit generation, especially when you find a 3-4 version.
  • Put Mending Stone, Might, and Disobedience onto your defensive items.
  • Rapid increases the attack speed of Wind Shear, which increases your Spirit generation. Put it on your 2-handed Weapon.
  • Ghostwalker provides a nice Movement Speed boost. You have more than 50% uptime on Unstoppable through Earthen Bulwark.
Tornado Druid Starter Gear

Skills

  • For now, we use Primal Tornado as our main damage Skill. It provides a slow on every damage tick, allowing you to generate a ton of Spirit through Umbral. Make sure to be in close range of enemies you want to hit!
  • Wind Shear is used to generate Spirit and stack Expectant before we start spamming Tornado. It also provides bonus Movement Speed, a chance to apply Vulnerable, and damage reduction via Might.
  • Earthen Bulwark provides a massive Barrier, makes you Unstoppable for its duration, and grants Movement Speed through Ghostwalker. With Mending Stone, you have more than 50% uptime.
  • Innate Blood Howl is used to both regenerate Spirit and to Heal. You're able to spam it in heavy density thanks to the cooldown recovery from Enhanced Blood Howl.
  • Debilitating Roar generates a chunk of Fortify by itself and through Bolster and heavily mitigates damage from enemies in a screen-wide AoE. You can also use the Slow from Innate Debilitating Roar to quickly proc Umbral's resource generation on all mobs in an area.
  • Trample is handy for its mobility and also to regenerate a healthy amount of Spirit in a pinch.
Tornado Druid Starter Skill Tree

Spirit Boons

While in Human Form, we make use of different Spirit Boons, as we don't benefit from Calm Before the Storm or Calamity

  • Deer Spirit: Wariness
  • Eagle Spirit: Swooping Attacks
  • Wolf Spirit: Bolster
  • Snake Spirit: Overload

Bond with the Eagle Spirit and activate Scythe Talons.

Tornado Druid Starter Spirit Boons

In this setup, you have access to all Legendary Aspects, allowing you to pilot a much stronger version of this build. Additional Legendary Aspects are used to fill slots that may be replaced with Unique items later on.

Gear

  • Replace Edgemaster’s with Stormchaser's as soon as you gain access to it.
  • Replace Expectant with Accelerating to increase your damage output and Spirit generation.
  • As you approach the Thunderstruck Legendary Node, Damage to Distant Enemies becomes a priority on weapons and rings.
Tornado Druid Early Endgame Gear

No Changes

There are no changes to the Skill Tree, Gameplay and Spirit Boons from the Starter section.

In this setup, you have access to all Unique items and Legendary Aspects. This allows you to pilot this build at its peak efficiency. Let's take a look at the changes you need to make to implement them. Our setup turns upside-down when Tempest Roar and Dire Wolf's Aspect are available.

Gear

  • Tempest Roar is your forever helmet now.
  • Armor while in Werewolf Form becomes a high priority on both Boots and Amulet. Our goal is to reach 13,441 Armor with max Disobedience stacks, the cap against level 154 monsters. Juggernaut's is a viable alternative on Chest, but the downside seems quite punitive in practice.
  • Lucky Hit Chance becomes a priority on our Rings and Gloves (and typically our Offhand as well). This stat increases our chance to proc Tempest Roar's Spirit Generation and Calm Before the Storm.
  • Dire Wolf's is placed on your Amulet for maximum Spirit Cost Reduction and Movement Speed.
  • Place Stormchaser's, Accelerating, Nighthowler's, Retaliation, and Rampaging Werebeast interchangeably on your Rings, Weapon, Off-Hand and Gloves.
  • Use Emeralds instead of Sapphires in your Weapon and Off-Hand. Thanks to the addition of Raging Tornado, you have more uptime on Vulnerable than Crowd Control, especially when facing bosses.
  • Tibault's Will is used for additional Spirit generation and a hefty damage Boost. It's activated by Metamorphosis and Grizzly Rage's initial cast.
  • As we don't need a Movement Speed affix on our Boots to reach the cap (200%) during Grizzly Rage, we opt for Metamorphosis to improve Unstoppable uptime and activate Tibault's Will.
  • If you are lucky enough to find Ring of Starless Skies, it's certainly best-in-slot and replaces Nighthowler's. The additional Spirit Cost Reduction also allows you to swap the positions of Retaliation and Dire Wolf's for even more damage. See the attached planner for details.

Spirit Boons

You need to switch your Spirit Boons for this setup:

  • Deer Spirit: Wariness for additional defense where we need it most.
  • Eagle Spirit: Scythe Talons helps damage and to restore resource via Lust for Carnage.
  • Wolf Spirit: Calamity improves Grizzly Rage uptime, a critical Cooldown for this build.
  • Snake Spirit: Calm Before the Storm helps us recover Grizzly Rage's Cooldown more quickly.

Bond with the Eagle Spirit and activate Avian Wrath for a hefty Critical Strike Damage bonus.

Tornado Druid Best-in-Slot Spirit Boons

The Speedfarming setup makes you more efficient in farming the Open World, Helltide zones, Tree of Whispers, regular Dungeons, and low level Nightmare Dungeons.

Gear

  • Opt for Mad Wolf's Glee for additional Movement Speed.
  • Grab a pair of Disobedience Pants that have 2 resistances matching your typical pair of Boots. This, in turn, allows you to equip Flickerstep to improve Grizzly Rage uptime.
Tornado Druid Speedfarming Gear

This build has potential to defeat the Echoes of Lilith encounter. As of 1.2, she's become relatively easy to take on, so we'll make just a few priority optimizations to skip large portions of the fight. See below.

Gear

  • Equip Mad Wolf's Glee over a Defensive Chest.
  • In place of Nighthowler's, use Inner Calm (or Ring of Starless Skies if you have it).
  • Equip boots with +3 to Maximum Evade charges if you have them.
  • Cheat in as much Spirit Cost Reduction and Resource Generation as you can on gear.
  • Use an Elixir of Cruelty if possible.
Pinnacle Boss Gear

Skill Tree

  • Switch your Key Passive to Bestial Rampage.
Pinnacle Boss Skill Tree

Seneschal Construct

  • For Bossing, we eliminate Mockery and add Resource for moments of low Spirit. Safeguard is consolidated onto Lightning Bolt to make way for the Unique Tuning Stones on Flash of Adrenaline.
Tornado Druid Seneschal Construct

Gameplay

  • Before the start of the fight, cast Debilitating Roar and wait 2 seconds to gain Bestial Rampage's Werebear Damage bonus. Then shift into Grizzly Rage and dash to the center of the arena to summon Lilith. Now, stand still to stack Inner Calm and start precasting Tornados at her starting position. Note: You can Evade without moving and avoid breaking the stacked bonus of Inner Calm. It takes some getting used to but can be used each time Lilith leaves the stage.
  • Best case scenario, your opening attack will leave her with less than 1/3 of her life before she summons adds (Try NOT to completely skip Phase 1. If this happens, you won't have Grizzly Rage available at the beginning of Phase 2). Stand still and precast at her landing zone as she spawns Oppressors, hoping to deal enough damage to end phase 1.
  • Repeat Step 1 at the beginning of phase 2, aiming to get Lilith below 80% HP before she spawns boils around the arena. If successful, you won't have to dodge the boils or their fireballs for the duration of phase 2, making this phase much easier. From there, the fight is a DPS check until she destroys all corners of the arena.
  • After all platforms are destroyed, Lilith will teleport to the center of the arena. Simply cast (or precast) a few Tornadoes as she arrives to end the fight.
Season 2 Lilith Showcase

Paragon Board & Glyphs

Heightened Malice has absolutely no use in the Lilith fight. Though the board below is both overkill and optional for this fight, you can utilize it if you're having troubles or would prefer a more bossing-oriented spec.

Pinnacle Boss Paragon Board

Historically, you could make an argument that the massive Resource Cost Reduction and High Movement and Attack speed of Grizzly Rage Tornado put its overall clear on par with prevalent Pet archetypes. And though we feel the Best-in-Slot version of this build will likely hold its own in T70-balanced content, the buffs to Bestial Rampage in 1.3.3 make the increased damage of the Pet version too hard to ignore. Our Gauntlet variant presents a significant deviation from existing portions of this guide, but this deviation will likely dictate the direction of the guide moving forward into Season 4 and beyond. Let's get into the changes:

Gear

  • For the Gauntlet, Shrine Buff Duration is a massive boon on Boots and Helmet.
  • Use the combination of Shepherd's on a 2-Hander and Stampede on a ring for up to 180% additional Core Skill damage.
  • Ring of Starless Skies is vitally important for Resource Cost Reduction and provides a sizeable damage boost. If you don't have this Uber Unique, opt for a Ring with Umbral and switch the upgrade of Tornado to Primal Tornado to reliably activate it.
  • Accelerating goes on our Amulet and Spirit Cost Reduction becomes a priority stat here. Ghostwalker is an option in this Slot to cap Movement Speed instead.
  • For Pants, use Tibault's Will for its Spirit Generation and hefty damage increase. This is proc'd both by Metamorphosis and Trample.
  • A quick note on Armor/Damage Reduction: This setup notably falls short of the approx. 11,200 Armor cap against T70 mobs. Though the build should be survivable regardless at this tier, if you're struggling, opt for a Defensive Chest Piece with a %Armor roll and Vigorous.
Tornado Druid Pet Gear

Skills

  • Though the pets primarily serve Shepherd's fuel, you can activate Ravens on Bosses for additional Critical Strike Chance.
  • Bestial Rampage is an incredible damage increase but dictates an adjustment to playstyle. Each time you Trample, ensure you stay in Werebear form for at least 2 seconds to gain a massive 50% damage multiplier for 15 seconds. Buffs from both forms appear on your skill bar. If managing the Werebear portion of this buff proves too cumbersome, Ursine Strength is a viable alternative.
  • Wind Shear serves primarily as a backup Spirit generator, though its Movement Speed bonus is relevant.
Werewolf Tornado Pet Skill Tree

Spirit Boons

As we no longer use an ultimate, go for Energize on the Wolf Spirit and Masochistic on the Snake Spirit.

Tornado Druid Pet Spirit Boons

Seneschal Construct

  • From the Grizzly Rage setup, we'll replace Mockery with Resource Support.
  • If you don't have Genesis, take Safeguard Support instead.
Tornado Druid Pet Spirit Boons

Hardcore Adjustments

Hardcore requires you to build into more defenses. Here are some tips to successfully navigate this build through potentially dangerous situations:

  • NEVER fight when Grizzly Rage is on cooldown.
  • Choose Iron Feather on the Eagle Spirit.
  • Forego Mad Wolf's Glee in favor of full defensive Pants/Chest with Vigorous and Disobedience.

Build Scaling & Stat Priorities

The answer to many questions can be found in the following section.

Damage
Defense
  • Lucky Hit Chance: We rely heavily on Lucky Hit Chance to reduce the cooldown of Grizzly Rage with Calm Before the Storm. It also procs the Spirit generation of Tempest Roar.
  • Critical Strikes: Stacking Critical Strike Chance on Rings, Gloves, and Totem is valuable to stack Rampaging Werebeast's Critical Strike Damage bonus, restore Spirit via Lust for Carnage, and Poison enemies with Toxic Claws (which, in turn, activates the Damage bonus from Envenom).
  • Vulnerable: We get Vulnerable procs from the Exploit Glyph and Raging Tornado. Though not as powerful as it once was, this multiplier is still fairly convenient to activate.
  • Crowd Controls: With the combination of Toxic Claws and Neurotoxin, every Critical Strike slows enemies for 4 seconds. Damage affixes that deal extra damage against Crowd Controlled or Slowed Enemies are a great alternative way to increase your damage output.
  • Fortify: You have a constant flow of Fortify generation from Grizzly Rage, but it is hard to actually pick up the Fortified status due to the constant healing you receive from Circle of Life.
  • Armor: A great deal of defenses comes from your Armor. The Aspect of Disobedience and Ironclaw massively increases the effectiveness of it. Make sure to get plenty of Armor on your gear and Paragon Boards - at least 13,440 to take on level 154 mobs.
  • Unstoppable: Grizzly Rage provides a short burst of Unstoppable when activated but this is our sole source.
  • Venomwall: We can take advantage of this powerful Defensive Multiplier thanks to Toxic Claws, which Poisons enemies whenever we Critically Strike them.
  • Resistances: We cap our Resistances through a combination of Intelligence from Paragon, Ring and Amulet implicits, Ancestral Fortitude, Poison Resilience, Lightning Resilience, Resolve on our Starter board, Tempest Roar's Poison Resistance, 2 boot affixes (Cold, Fire, or Shadow), two Royal gems that correspond to the third of those Resistances, and a single Royal Topaz.
