HOMELESS EMPEROR - 100M Budget Druid Build - Superior Optimization proven | Diablo 4 Guide | 

The T100 clears were done BEFORE the Pit nerfs, so it's even easier now. Everything was done with the gear I showcased, none of my bis gear was used.

Anyone else wish Ace of Spades would host a discord server so we could all discuss the best druid builds in the world in a better forum?!?! RU-vid comments and twitch chat are not great mediums for discuss, and Diablo reddit is a cesspool, discord is where it's at! Correct me if I am wrong and post the link if he has one!

how do you normal attack with this build.

First one here. Big up all the Druids 👊🏼

I hope the shered build comes back one day 😢

Damn i started landslide/storm variant with tyrael/shako, and it feels so amazing

Love your builds my gob - you are one of the few who consistently deliver high quality Druid content while also actually playing the builds

This looks like way more fun than windshear

Played a build like this since day 1 of s4, reached 103... cant go any further since there is no damage to push foward. Im gonna write some reviw on the forums tomorrow, would Love p here to comment, so it get devs atention.

Have a question about yens blessing? I have a triple greater affix roll with damage reduction and movement speed and resource cost reduction....I use these to reset my skills on my windshear build. What would you say to these? I know the tempers are always important

on uber version are you keeping Subterranean? if not should I switch to elemental? wasnt updated on the build guild but I thought I heard you say that

Love this build! Was waiting for you to drop this budget build since the first one was dropped, but picked up a Shako with my sparks since then. Currently running a version of the Uber build with no Tyraels, instead I am running Undying on the chest and Tibaults will on the pants, mostly for the DR and damage more so than the resource which is not an issue. Keep going back and forth between Retaliation and Accelerating on the ring. Accelerating "feels" better due to more hits = more lucky hit procs and more healing from undying, but not sure that it actually is. Anyone have any other suggestions to try? I saw Ace say he might be dropping subterranean all together which is interesting because, it seems to be really helpful to have that guaranteed CC. Blast into the middle of a pack with meta, instantly poison immobilize and landslide everyone with poison creeper is how I start every fight.

Playing the non budget version and I will make a few points as a PSA for people looking to build it. 1) dont go crazy with the resources cost reduction rolls. I had 4 originally and as i upgraded my gear am able to run with 2 rolls without issue, ive even run with One roll if i swap to Airidas inexorable will for mobbing, which brings me to my 2nd point, that ring is absolutely amazing for mobbing. Being able to pixel pull the entire screen to your position and melt them feels so Good. And if you melt the first mob fast enough, you can get the ring to proc again with its 10 second up time. With the amount of willpower i currently have the base DMG of the ring is 6.7mil. which is nothing to sneeze at.

talk to me about why you don't use the Stampede aspect

Damn shame landslide is not good enough to do damage on its own. Glyphs and skills need rework. Feels bad just being an engine for storm skills and OP thunderstruck

Made new druid for this build with the ubers. It's really fun change with the visual natural disaster mayhem compared to the meta basic skill builds. Found boots with GA spirit and using chest with GA spirit (trying shared misery instead of tyreal). Can now spam and super fun. Still need to work a lot on gear but just wish damage could be ramped up more. But super fun thanks!!

Question- wouldn’t stampede aspect give bigger damage buff than retaliation? 3 more companions is permanent 45%x from choker with Shepard?

I used Shaco, Airidah's ring, and Stormchaser's Aspect for the tornadoes. And even using talents and the boom to maximize electrical damage in area, the damage is less than the storm strike build and infinitely less solid than the Wind Sear build. Sorry for my English, greetings from Brazil!

is the paragon board up to date on the mobalytics link with the last video where you went over your clever paragon board changes? they look different

Yo @goblin I have been running this build the entire time. I have both shako an tyraels you think the uber paragon board is good or the new budget board better?

Yo goblin I have a triple GA godslayer with yr name on it !!!

You have something against dogwater or what? Me and my werewolf pack buddies love dogwater.

I don’t understand how I have Ubers, GAs, more optimized for damage build. More skill tree points thanks to Shaco, damage reduction, and playing on the buffed Druid after the update. This is before the pit nerf and you’re still stronger. Makes absolutely no sense and I also have double your willpower. More defense and multipliers but I still do less. Either skill issue or something’s not right here.

What about using this with the purple ring also the new one?????

May i ask you a question with all your shepherd builds you seem to be running Aspect of Retaliation over aspect of stampede. Is the interaction of aspect of stampede and shepherd glitched or something because if its not it would give you 15% more damage over retaliation + whatever bonus the 3 more pets give and bonus companion skill damage.

I've got all the BIS gear but I don't know how the gear works for attack speed，Have you studied the breakpoint of landslide attack rate？

Can starless skies be slotted into this build or is it not optimal?

I didn’t know Druid can equip Doombringer.

Do you have a plan for the need for attack speed? Look forward to your reply

I don't how you tested it but I do more damages with poison creeper aspect. Btw I have Tyrael, shako and the latest parangon board of the uber version. I do more damage than you do in this video but I also use Thibault will Thx

Last night there was a dolmen stone druid in the druid top 10 leaderboard. Checked his gear and he had a bunch of boulder damage affixes. Anyone checked to see if they stealth fixed the dolmen stone issues in the patch?

your chestsuh and your pantsuh?! oh wow

Started This build. I got a 1h axe with GA lucky hit restore and GA vulnerable and normal stat max life. Got the 2 temperings. Should I keep the GA vulnerable damage or reroll for willpower?

If eventually get Harlequin and Tyrael’s should I switch to the Uber paragon board and aspects on the build guide or stick with budget paragon board and aspects? Just wondering if the uber version has been updated like the budget build.

I'm using this build with some differences in the aspects, I'm also wearing Vasily and the bear breastplate. It has good DPS but the damage is very low. Definitely the druid needs a good rework and improve the skills to be a little competitive to the rest of the characters.

I've been doing this build I have a shako and tyreals, I would like to know your opinion. Is this build comparable to Windshear ? I used windshear and it wasn't as fun as this build. I'm using the uber version of this build and I would like to know how can it do more damage?

Hoping when we see the Mid-season patch notes tomorrow Druids get that much needed buff. Also, I'm running this build right now and it's so much fun.

This build with no ubers is why i begrudgingly went to wind shear. And then ultimately went rogue since i didnt like having to spam pulverize to keep a buff up every few seconds. I really hope Blizzard figures their shit out

I mean, its not really fair to assume most people have a shako and a tyraels around. The feeling about this build should be the one in this video from the very beggining, without those items you're gonna die A LOT. If you only see the first video, you'll think you gonna be a god and oh boy thats not gonna happen.

Can you ring the ring of starless skies for this build or do you need retribution aspect?

The build on the site has Vasily's Prayer as the Helm. Is that a better option than godslayers crown? Because I have both

I miss my Lightning storm Druid but this is a no go for me 😂 that boss fight damage is Booty. It’s a shame that they nerfed shred. 🤦🏻‍♂️

which paragon variation should i use if playing with shako and tyrael?

Look up baoblitz and his lightning storm build. Hes insane

Im playing the normal version and having lots of fun with it. Would you consider making a Zdruid for high pits? I think the druid has a lot of potential for support, with Deb roar, hurricane, pull ring, blood howls chc and heal and some other stuff. But there are no guides for this unfortunately. Would love to play that. Keep up the good work. Thanks ✌🏾

im trying lightning dancer and natural balance instead of retaliation and retribution, feels like i do more damage, have you tried these?

So the extra damage from two handed staff with Shepard, and natural crowd control, is not better compared to the axe and totem?

Hi, why did you remove the +1 Companion skill ? And does Quicksand aspect not help w CC and Boss stagger ? Thanks for the build, subbed !

Does this apply to the normal build with Shako+Tyrael? Are emeralds still better there? Still with packleader? Not sure if that was updated as well.

how about using the ring that pulls in enemies when u use an ultimate and replace head with harelquins?

You are correct, gear like this is very acceptable for normal folks.

Would this build be hardcore viable with a couple changes like making sure im res capped bit more hp etc? Or is it just too squishy in general without end game gear?

This build uses a bug to do more damage ? I see it has better burst damage than wind shear :)

how dose lanslide prock lightnig storm

Cool build and I'll prob make an alt to farm resplendent sparks with this so thanks! But pleasee!!! Need update to my true love boulder build! TnT

what's the damage numbers like? can you show us a clip with numbers on?

Thanks as always Christian! I am still farming for Tyrael's Might before I can have the ultimate landslide win. I have a challenge here, I have bricked a 3GA 1H axe (so hard to farm GA 1H axe). Max Life, + Damage and Vulnerable Damage. I rolled and got lucky hit earth spikes and damage to close enemies. Nature's Fury does not proc earth spikes, shall I sell it? 😭

I think tinyurl Don't working... can't reach the build

Hi Ace, I have a Shako so I will try your default build. Do I also now remove Tornado like you said on this video or this applies only for budget build?

is this build better than windshear?

How are you spawning tornados in the video without the tornado skill? That's awesome!

Tell me first glyph plz ❤❤

so this is the cheap version of your earth daddy build? the one with shako and tyreal? should I do some changes to the earth daddy build cause I wanted to give it a try

Most fun build in Season4 for me

r u upgrading the uber version?

Any updated Werenado builds? Great video!

Just got the build started, with Shako and Tyrael fortunately, the rest of the gear needs improvement and masterworking but it is already so much fun and an absolute blast! Thanks for your efforts

I really wanted to do a Landslide build, but holy... it just doesn't feel good Slow cast speed, odd animation,

Do you still use the subterranean aspect on the default version? I have shako but not tyreals might

Does the new pet count for shepherds? Someone said it counted for necros.

Let's see the rich boi version

What time do you strean man? I never see you online on twitch. I have a build suggestion for you and i hope you ll read this. I play your build and it inspired me to do something else that might work but i dont have enough time to farm the gear. Maybe you can try it. With your stormslide build i noticed that the compations' actice is almost always up. I also know that pure companion builds do quite well but the best they can do with max cd reduction is 2 seconds on wolves. What if you combine these twho builds? Do the damage with wolves (and maybe poison dmg too with snakes) and reduce companion active abilities with aspects from your build. I love your content man. Keep it up!

Is there a build guide in written form?

Is this as good as werenado?

How are you generating spirit that fast ?

now this video is more like it. keep it up

Great work! Can you do one for sorcs too?

Such a cool build

Ace, you are the only one I trust to look into boulder since the patch. What is the word good sir?

And do you not use a shako on your wind shear druid because you dont have a shako yet? I have trouble using godslayer over shako

When is the update fo uber version been messing around with dmg to distant vun dmg and retribution waitin to see what you do nxt for more dmg

Is it better than wind shear build ?

Solid build!

WOOOOOWWWW.... FINALLY ONE LAST UPDATE FOR THIS AMAZING BUILD... TY BRO

O wow. Another shepherd build. Fucking YAWN.

11-12 min for t100 is criminal xD
