The state of Druids on Diablo 4's Season 5 PTR is mixed. While new "meta" builds are emerging, old bugs still prevail. We've interviewed AceofSpades, one of the best Druid theory-crafters on the scene, to discuss what's wrong with Druids and how to improve the class in the future.

How are you feeling about Druids' performance for Season 5?
Ace
From my time in the latest PTR, I’ve observed that Druids have had a mixed bag of performance. While some aspects have improved (like a pure
山崩
build, the Stormslide variant which uses
山崩
to proc
雷暴
, and Companion builds), the overall class still faces challenges. The gap between classes, especially with Barbarians getting stronger, has left Druids feeling a bit underpowered. Blizzard has shown goodwill by engaging with the community, and I’m optimistic that they’ll steer Druids in the right direction. Possibly with another round of buffs before Season 5 goes live.
What's wrong with Druids in general right now?
Ace
The developers have done amazing work on the core game experience and on many other aspects of the game. When it comes to the Druid, the main issue has been developers’ lack of effort dedicated to the class. They seem uncertain about what casual players want — simple, smooth builds such as Stormclaw or Werewolf Tornado — yet, they keep pushing clunky options like Boulder. Balancing decisions lack mathematical rigor, leading to ineffective buffs (like the unfortunate fate of
狂犬撕咬
). And let’s not forget the game-breaking bugs, such as
无餍之怒
not working for non-native Werebear Skills. That’s a whole year spent with one of our Uniques not working.
What are you most excited about for Druids in Season 5?
Ace
In my
video
, I expressed optimism because they rectified some blunders (like the change to
牧羊人的威能
). Now, Druids feel “reset,” but we’re missing damage. I'm just happy the class isn't a clunky mess anymore.
Personally, I’m thrilled about playing
Landslide
. A pure Landslide build has been my dream since release, and those recent buffs have me doing a happy dance in the forest.
Some in the community believe the Spiritborn will become
the more improved "Druid." What's your take on this?
Ace
Spiritborn feels like Druid 2.0. As developers gain experience, their designs evolve for the better. And since Spiritborn is thematically close to Druids, this might just entice many Druid mains to switch if it delivers on the fun factor. Everyone is just expecting a better-designed class that does more damage and is thematically very similar to Druid.
