Diablo 4 Season 2 Landslide Druid Leveling Build Guide

Landslide seems to be the best leveling build for Druid in Diablo 4 Season 2. Utilizing this build, Druids focus on the ability Landslide as their primary damage dealer. Landslide is a massive AoE that literally rips up the ground under their foes, dealing massive damage. Of all the starting skills for Druid, it does the most damage and can wipe out an area of enemies in one hit.

Once you progress further into the game you can spend Skill Points to increase the damage of Landslide even more. Also, despite its massive AoE damage, this Landslide Druid Leveling Build also has an insane amount of tankiness. This build is not only the best for Druid, but potentially one of the best overall leveling builds in all of Diablo 4 Season 2.
