Diablo 4 Druid Class Guide: Skills, Talents and More

In Diablo 4 the Druid is a savage shapeshifter, fluidly transforming between the forms of a towering bear or a vicious werewolf to fight alongside the creatures of the wild. He also commands the power of earth, wind, and storm, unleashing nature’s wrath to devastating effect.

On this page we’re going to try and give you a quick overview of the class, but without going into too much detail since, we wouldn’t be surprised if Blizzard completely changes everything before launch.

After all, they’ve only recently conducted an internal-only Diablo 4 beta and chances are a lot will change between now and launch. For the time being though, read on for all the important details you need to know about the Druid!

Blizard’s Take On The Druid

Here’s a little bit of what Blizzard had to say when talking to GameInformer about the Druid class in Diablo 4:

“What’s nice about the druid is you get this interesting mix of melee and ranged, and you get this really cool visual when you’re switching between forms,” explained lead animator Nick Chilano.

“I think that, from a visual side, we’re excited about the fact that you cast cataclysm, you’re in druid form, you’re like boom and become a bear and then you’re a werewolf which is visually super exciting.”

Diablo 4 Druid Trailer

Unfortunately as one of the original three classes to be revealed, the Druid doesn’t have his own flashy cinematic trailer like the Necromancer or Rogue. Instead, the Druid forms part of a trio of classes who were revealed for the game’s very first gameplay trailer back in November 2019. We imagine though we’ll get a closer look at this class when we get closer to launch in 2023.


That’s everything you need to know about the Diablo 4 Druid for the time being, but we can’t wait to find out more when the game drops in 2023. If you’re interested in any of the other classes in the game, follow the links below for more details.
