In Diablo 2 Resurrected, what are the best druid builds after Patch 2.4? Today, we are going to break down the attributes, skill trees gear, mercenary, and tips you need to make a new D2R 2.4 druid build that we have dubbed the beast master. So it's essentially a hybrid setup that is stealing ideas from the reaper wolf and also the pure summoning druid approach, kind of mashing them together. This is the best Diablo 2 Resurrected Patch 2.4 druid build that has a full summon support army with about a 10k fury set up with decrep rock. This new druid has great survivability, insane crowd control, it doesn't quite have the pure damage output of the reaper wolf setup, but it is a very fun building kind of a different spin on sort of your standard traditional your dude set up.

D2R Patch 2.4 Druid Build - Best Beast Master Build In Diablo 2 Resurrected 2.4 PTR

To make a powerful and safe Diablo 2 Resurrected 2.4 druid build, the beast master, you have to decide how heavily you want to weigh the beast master in terms of a summoning approach or a shape-shifting approach. This means it could essentially rock like all max damage gear on your druid so like g face, high lords all max damage, attack rating plus life grand trip to small charms. Maybe have one hour point into lycanthropy werewolf, acts fury and then put some remaining points into summoning could do the opposite of the spectrum where you go all summoning, plus summoning skills, you could carry beast on your druid sacrifice some shape-shifting damage, maybe put one hardpoint into fury and then everything else is into your summons and oak sage and then shape-shift that way.

In that case, you're mostly relying on summoning support or you could go and approach down the middle. For this D2R druid build 2.4, we balance out between having almost 12k fury with decrep rock and deadly strike applied to that on top of it and then also having very strong summoning support, nearly 5k grizzly, nearly 2k dire wolves, and 3.5k ravens.

Diablo 2 Resurrected 2.4 Druid Attributes

Strength - 156
Dexterity - 80
Vitality - 563
Energy - 80

Go with a max vitality approach, so enough strength to quit your gear which is 156 for spirit, the offhand, and a monarch shield. Nothing in the dexterity, nothing in energy and then everything else in mentality. So that you can have a ton of survivability and life with this D2R PTR 2.4 druid build, like the summons a really good crowd control and extra cannon fodder meat shields, they do decent damage as well. But having the insane life damage and then their survivability, this is a very tanky build, it's very challenging to actually die.

Diablo 2 Resurrected 2.4 Druid Skill Trees

- As far as the skill tree goes, elemental nothing.

- For summoning, you put 20 air points into raven, summon spirit wolf, dire wolf, summon grizzly, and heart of wolverine, so you have a ton of extra enhanced damage from wolverine. When you switch to the offhand cta and spirit plus 300 ed from the heart of wolverine and then you have again like nearly 5k grizzly, summon dire wolf was nearly 2k, 1k with summon spear wolf, summon spirit wolf is 1k cool damage and the ravens are nearly 4k. All of that damage is compounded on top of concentration or from pride light or a mercenary. Then the heart of wolverine, so that is a ton of damage and then the top of that shape-shifting hitting with really hard fury and decrep rocks. It's a very powerful D2R druid build PTR 2.4.

- For shape-shifting, put 1 point into lycanthropy, 1 into werewolf, 1 into feral rage, 1 into rabies and everything else into the fury. 423% additional damage with fury, that's crazy just extra damage aired with an army to help you. This is a really interesting build.

Diablo 2 Resurrected 2.4 Druid Mercenary

The mercenary is using the D2R runeword pride. Again harder wolverine damage plus might, plus pride, plus shape shifting, plus a full summoning armory support. This is one of the best D2R patch 2.4 builds.

Diablo 2 Resurrected 2.4 Druid Gameplay Tips & Tricks

If you want to squeak out every ounce of damage, want to buff up with battle lords and battle command first to get an extra plus skill, summon 5 ravens, 5 spirit wolves, 3 dire wolves, and 1 bear, then we rebuff them up. You want a shape-shift on this cta side because that gives you an extra plus skill, then switch back to your main hand and then just alternate back and forth between fury and feral rage. When aura kicks in from the mercenary should see the damage jump up to nearly. You'll see that it should be approaching 11k physical damage, a ton of life leech and the summons will catch up to main cast sanctuary. This provides you with extra crowd control support and additional damage.

Try this new Diablo 2 Resurrected 2.4 build using a different weapon like maybe an ethereal exotic kelpie snare for slow down and then using as a last wish act 5 mercenary just to get that life tap rocks and then full summoning support army to distract Lilith. A pure summoning druid with enigma, you can teleport reposition, and focus all of your summons on a single target which is very powerful. You don't really have that luxury like a shape-shifting druid because you can't teleport to shape-shifting form. One of the biggest problems with the shape-shifting druid is you have very low defense, so it's very easy to take damage. When you have all of these different summons aggroing and providing you extra like cannon fodder, they're just there a little bit extra damage but they're really just absorbing hits.

Conclusion

That wraps up the D2R 2.4 beast master druid. A lot of the approaches with the druid now, almost work better as hybrid builds. There are a lot more viable hybrid setups with the druid. So whether it's like an f windhammer with a Zod rune and then maxing out the twister and its synergies and having a hurricane druid with fury or this approach shape-shifting and summoning. You could take an approach of mostly physical damage and then have some summon support. All summons were kind of going down the center of the road which is what this build tried to accomplish.
