Landslide Druid Endgame Build Guide

If you are fresh in Torment 1 coming from a leveling guide, this is where you begin. Since only some Aspects can be guaranteed from Dungeon unlocks for the Codex of Power, focus on acquiring the additional aspects via gambling with Murmuring Obols.

Gear & Skills

• Note that this midgame skill tree differs quite a bit from both the leveling and endgame setups. This is a "Trampleslide" build, if you're familiar, and it utilizes the Nature's Fury passive along with Symbiotic to rapidly recover Nature Magic skill cooldowns. Among these is Trample, which is granted the Earth tag by Trampled Earth. Spam Wind Shear and Hurricane to recover its Cooldown. Trample acts as a hybrid mobility/clear skill with a much larger AoE than Poison Creeper, though Creeper is still effective at mobbing once you're in range.
• One key issue to highlight is in the Paragon Board. Because this variant does not have access to Vasily's Prayer or Earthbreaker, it does not leverage either Survival Instincts or Ancestral Guidance. You can still utilize the first half of the board effectively with this setup, but the intent is that you graduate into the Ancestral variant before this becomes a concern. Make it a priority to farm Echo of Varshan (for Vasily's Prayer) and Grigoire, The Galvanic Saint (for Earthbreaker) early into your Torment progression.
• Don't overspend resources on non-Ancestral gear, especially when it comes to Masterworking. This gear will eventually be replaced entirely.
• Early on in your progression, focus on Armor & Resistances to survive. Each Torment difficulty adds a penalty of -250 Armor and -25% all Res and it's recommended to keep both capped (1000 Armor, 70+ Res) at all times. As you unlock higher power gear, masterworking levels and more Paragon points, you naturally scale your character into the higher difficulties and can start replacing some of these rolls with offensive or utility stats. In this Starter variant, Mending Stone can be exchanged for Disobedience if you still need additional Armor.
• After defenses are sorted, capping Movement Speed is another primary goal. To that end, this variant employs Ghostwalker and activates it with a combination of Earthen Bulwark (with Mending Stone) and Trample. Wind Shear grants another Movement Speed bonus for 4 seconds at a time.
• From the time you reach Earthen Devastation in your Paragon Board, be mindful of your Damage to Crowd Controlled Enemies bonus. The target for this stat is 250%, and your personal value will depend on the nodes taken on this board, your Offensive Tempers, and the level of your Earth and Sky glyph. Over time, you'll be able to exchange Offensive tempers from Damage to Crowd Controlled Enemies to Earth Critical Strike Chance.

The goal here is to progress through the Torment difficulties as you unlock Ancestrals, Paragon points, all Legendary Aspects, Temper mods and the most important Uniques to pilot this build. Some Legendary Aspects are used temporarily to fill slots that may be replaced with more Unique items later on.

Gear & Skills

• As you upgrade your gear to Ancestrals with more masterworking levels and reach higher paragon, you can focus more and more on replacing Armor & Resistance rolls with better stats, but be sure to stay capped at 1000 Armor and 70%+ Resistances for the difficulty you're currently in.
• Once you've acquired the Core Uniques for this build, you can transition to what is essentially the final version, with a skill tree, playstyle, and paragon board identical to those described in the main sections of this guide. The addition of Mythic Uniques from this point are more build-enhancing than build-enabling.
• From the time you reach Earthen Devastation in your Paragon Board, be mindful of your Damage to Crowd Controlled Enemies bonus. The target for this stat is 250%, and your personal value will depend on the nodes taken on this board, your Offensive Tempers, and the level of your Earth and Sky glyph. Over time, you'll be able to exchange Offensive tempers from Damage to Crowd Controlled Enemies to Earth Critical Strike Chance.
• Feel free to continue using Juggernaut's over Skinwalker's as needed for additional Armor.

This Speedfarming variant optimizes the build for easy activities like Helltides, Whispers, Nightmare Dungeons and lower Pit Tiers after you have finished the Mythic variant and reached a plateau in your progression.

Gear & Skills

• The Mythic variant is relatively well-suited for for Open World content. You can make some minor adjustments to improve movement speed by replacing Earthen Bulwark with Trample for some extra mobility and Spirit generation. Remove Provocation to max out Digitigrade Gait.
• If you have either a spare Amulet with Movement Speed or an extra pair of Wildheart Hunger that you can masterwork for Movement Speed, great. If not, it's not a huge deal.

This setup optimizes the build to push the highest possible Tiers in The Pit after you have finished the Mythic variant and reached a plateau in your progression. The Pit Push setup varies considerably. At a high level, instead of dealing damage in a larger area with Subterranean, it focuses on manually casting Landslide (at a slower rate and in a smaller area) while leveraging Overpower, something that unfortunately Subterranean can't do.

Gear & Skills

The Pit Push variant uses the Ursine Strength Key Passive to bolster Overpower damage and Hunter's Zenith to accelerate its proc rate. Pillars generated by Earthbreaker rapidly evoke Overpowers from Hunter's Zenith, allowing you to Overpower at a high rate. Whereas Poison Creeper and Subterranean deal most of your damage in the Mythic setup, this variant drops Subterranean completely in favor of an additional multiplier in Changeling's Debt. We still use Poison Creeper, but only as often as necessary to activate Poison-related buffs.

To improve Overpower's damage, a greater emphasis is placed on Maximum Life across all gear pieces, and we take Iron Feather and Xal to this end. Note that a second Greater Affix on Earthbreaker is recommended further this goal, as it frees up masterworking potential on your Weapon. It's also quite difficult to cap Critical Strike chance without Ring of Starless Skies, so any additional Greater Affixes you can acquire for this stat (including Predatory Instinct) are welcome. Go for Exploiter's boots and Claw as a backup Spirit generator, as you hit less often without Subterranean and can run into Spirit issues. Finally slot, Dominate in your paragon board, per below.
