Shred – Druid Build Guide for Diablo 4 (Season 9)

Build Introduction

The Shred Druid dashes and rips into the foes of Sanctuary, every strike echoing the ferocity of a werewolf under the moonlit sky. Gather and destroy enemies with powerful Shred and cleave bursts of lightning with your Stormclaw’s Aspect.

This is a Dire Wolf’s Aspect Grizzly Rage Shred that will play smoothly in both farm and push content.

Skill Bar for Shred Druid

Grizzly Rage Earthen Bulwark Blood Howl Cyclone Armor Maul Shred

Season 9: Toxic Claws has changed and no longer applies Poison Damage over Time for multipliers like Envenom.

• Seasonal players will apply the Poisoned Condition with Corrosive Vapor and Elemental Brand.
• Non-Seasonal players can exchange Cyclone Armor with Poison Creeper.

If you are missing skill points, complete Renown events in each zone. See how these Skills play in the Rotation and Gameplay section.

Druid Class Mechanic – Spirit Boons

Druids unlock powerful Spirit Boon passives, giving offerings to the animal spirits to receive their Blessing. Once fully unlocked, activate the final Boon by Spirit Bonding with one of the four animal spirits to take two passives from that row.

Druid’s primary resource is Spirit. See the Spirit Management Section on how to keep casting!

Gear, Stats, Gems, and Runes

Check these sections for all important Shred gearing considerations to improve the power of your character in the endgame.

Legendary Aspects

Gear Slots with multiple options are listed in recommended priority. Any slot with an Optional Mythic Unique or Unique Item will include a valid alternative legendary power to use while still leveling and gearing. Combine these with the right stat priorities.

Slot	Gem	Aspect	Unique/Legendary Aspect Power
Weapon	Grand Emerald	Unique – Waxing Gibbous	Killing an enemy with Shred grants Stealth for 2 seconds. Breaking Stealth with an attack grants guaranteed Critical Strikes for 1-4 seconds.
Totem	Grand Emerald	Aspect of the Blurred Beast	Shred deals 55-75% more damage, and Shred’s first dash lands up to 4 additional strikes based on distance travelled.
Helm	MoniXan	Mythic – Heir of Perdition Vigorous Aspect	Give in to hatred and earn Lilith’s Favor, increasing your damage dealt by 60%. Slaughter enemies to briefly steal Lilith’s Favor from Nearby allies.

Pants	Grand Sapphire	Dire Wolf’s Aspect	Grizzly Rage is now a Werewolf Skill and Shapeshifts you into a Dire Werewolf. Dire Werewolves gain 20-40% Movement Speed and 20-40% Spirit Cost Reduction instead of Damage Reduction. In addition, kills Heal you for 10% of your Maximum Life.
Boots		Unique – Wildheart Hunger Aspect of the Agile Wolf	Shapeshifting into a new animal form increases the value of your Bestial Rampage bonuses by 2-5%, up to 20-50%. This bonus decays by 2% per second.
Amulet	Grand Diamond	Aspect of the Rabid Bear	While Grizzy Rage is active, your direct damage is converted into Poison damage, you deal 40-80% more Poison damage, and you passively spread Rabies.
Ring 1	Grand Diamond	Aspect of the Rampaging Werebeast	The duration of Grizzly Rage is increased by 3-10 seconds. In addition, Critical Strikes while Grizzly Rage is active increase your Critical Strike Damage by 5% for the duration, up to a maximum of 100%.

After gearing, look at progression systems like Paragon next.

Uniques and Mythic Uniques

The Shred Druid uses the following Unique items:

• Waxing Gibbous gives strong coverage of full Critical Strike Chance which allows the player to gear other affixes. Ranks in Toxic Claws with Aspect of the Rabid Bear turning all damage into Poison type offers a multiplier that is particularly strong, and can set Waxing Gibbous above a 2h or dagger/totem setup.

• (Before Mythic) Mad Wolf’s Glee is an excellent offensive Unique Item that gives high ranks to Werewolf Skills.

• Wildheart Hunger gives a stacking bonus to Bestial Rampage, gaining stacks as you shift to Werebear or Werewolf forms, including from Human form. Periodic casts of your supporting Skills will help keep these Wildheart stacks high, but may not stay capped. Nevertheless, it is a strong option for its Attack Speed and Damage bonuses.

Mythic Unique Items

• Ring of Starless Skies is a powerful Resource Cost Reduction tool and damage multiplier and can be useful for making gameplay a bit smoother.

• Heir of Perdition has Strong Gear Affixes and a steady damage multiplier. The multiplier can be stolen occasionally from others that also use this helm for a higher damage multiplier.

• Shroud of False Death gives +1 rank to all Skill Passives which means several bonuses to Damage Multipliers, Damage Reductions, Resistances, Fortify, Healing and Critical Strike Chance.

Gems and Runewords

The following are the recommended Gem and Runeword setups for the Shred Druid:

Gems

Weapon Gems	Armor Gems	Jewelry Gems
Grand Emerald for Critical Strike Damage	Grand Sapphire for Willpower	Grand Diamond for All Resistance

Horadric Jewels

Seasonal Players can use these Horadric Jewels, placed in jewelry gear slots. Check out the Horadric Spell section for all available options.

Jewel	Description
Scornful Light	You deal 20% and take 10% more Elemental damage.
Idol From Below	You gain 6% primary stat, 6% maximum life and you are always Unhindered. However, you will be hunted in Sanctuary’s darkest places by Jewel Guardians who were entombed to protect this relic.
Elemental Brand	Your Catalytic Skill deals 33% damage of your Infusion’s element over 3 seconds. Lucky Hit: Dealing damage of your Infusion’s element has up to a 33% chance to trigger its secondary effect.

Runewords

Use these Runeword combinations for the Shred Druid, placed in Armor slots:

Runeword Combination	Runeword Effects
Moni Xan	Moni – Gain: 100 Offering. Cast 2 Mobility Skills. Xan – 300 Offering. Your next attack will cause your hits to be a guaranteed Critical Strike and Overpower for 0.35 seconds. Overflow: Increased Duration
Igni Que	Igni – Gain: 25 Offering. Stores Offering every 0.3 seconds. Cast a Non-Basic Skill to gain the stored Offering. Que – Requires: 300 Offering. Overflow: Increased Duration. Cooldown: 1 second. Evoke the Druid’s Earthen Bulwark, granting yourself a Barrier.

Runewords use a conditional Rune of Ritual to generate Offering. The Offering is consumed by the Rune of Invocation to trigger its effect. Runes replace Gems in gear with two sockets. Up to two sets of Runeword Pairs can be placed at a time.

Shred is a fast attack and has the Mobility Tag, meaning Moni will work as a trigger, giving high volumes of Critical Overpowers with Xan.

Periodic casts of Earthen Bulwark will give Barrier, Fortify, and Unstoppable. Que also forces form shift, which can be useful for maintaining Wildheart Hunger stacks even during Grizzly Rage.

Other combinations can also situationally work well; adjust to the content you are running. These can include:

• (Gathering) Kry rune for Vortex can be a strong quality of life increase.
• (Early Gearing) While leveling and gearing before legendary Runes become accessible, many Magic and Rare runewords such as Gar for Critical Strike Chance will be viable.

Paragon Board

The following are the preferred Glyphs, Boards, and pathing recommended for making the most of the Shred Druid.

The road to max Paragon is long. The above Paragon tabs show the following:

• The BASE SETUP tab spends 50 fewer points than the max 328 points, taking stricter pathing to take all most all Legendary, Rare and Magic Nodes, and activates all Glyph Nodes with their secondary effects.
• The FULL SETUP tab completes the paragon board in its final form, filling in the rest of the board to give additional additive bonuses especially within the Glyph areas.

Glyphs have two significant breakpoint increases. At level 15, the glyph grows in radius and gains a special effect. At level 46, the glyph grows to its max radius and gains a strong conditional damage multiplier.

Glyphs are placed as if they are at least level 15+ in radius. Total Boards placed are now limited to a max of 5; the Starter Board and four Class Boards. Rotate boards as necessary.

Horadric Spell (Season 9)

Season 9: Sins of the Horadrim offers seasonal Powers accessed from a Powers tab on the character Sheet and Horadric Jewels placed into Jewelry slots to augment these Powers.

The Horadric Catalyst is equipped to a Skill on the Skill Bar, triggered on the Skill’s use. One Infusion adds effects and modifies the damage type of the Catalyst, and three Arcana enhance the Catalyst or provide extra effects on Catalyst trigger.

Pushing

Type	Power	Description
Catalyst, Attached to Shred	Astral Pillar	Shape an Ethereal Column that Taunts for 3.0 seconds. Piercing waves flow from it and deal damage, until you create another one or move too far away.
Infusion	Corrosive Vapor	Your Spell Catalyst now deals Poison and or Poisoning damage. Bonus: Enemies damaged by it take 150% Poisoning damage over 4 seconds. This effect can only happen on each enemy every 3 seconds. While equipped, your Poison Damage Bonus is equal to that of your highest Damage Type Bonus. Rank 5: Deactivates monster Vampiric effects for 5 seconds.
Arcana	Fractured Core	Denial – Your Catalyst deactivates monster Damage Resistance Aura effects for 2.5 seconds, but you take 10% more stacking damage for the same time (+0.5 each rank).
Arcana	Potent Alloy	Denial – Your Catalyst destroys enemy Barriers and Knocks them Down for 1.0 seconds after the removal (+0.8 each rank).
Arcana	Bloody Charm	Denial – Your Catalyst gains a specialized Execute effect for non-Boss enemies with 10% or less Life. (+2% each rank). Astral Pillar: Will launch additional waves towards Executable non-Boss enemies to Execute them.

Most Catalysts are functional and can be played by preference. Other setups can work outside push content, such as:

• (Speedfarm) Propulsion with Floaty Bobble, Gleaming Conduit and Bloody Charm blinks to enemies, and grants movement speed on execute.

Horadric Jewels

Use these Jewels, placed in jewelry gear slots, to enhance the Horadric Spell:

Jewel	Description
Scornful Light	You deal 20% and take 10% more Elemental damage.
Idol From Below	You gain 6% primary stat, 6% maximum life and you are always Unhindered. However, you will be hunted in Sanctuary’s darkest places by Jewel Guardians who were entombed to protect this relic.
Elemental Brand	Your Catalytic Skill deals 33% damage of your Infusion’s element over 3 seconds. Lucky Hit: Dealing damage of your Infusion’s element has up to a 33% chance to trigger its secondary effect.

Mercenaries

Once unlocked, Mercenaries are followers that aid the Player in combat. A main mercenary is chosen to fight alongside you, granting strong buffs or perks, and a secondary Mercenary is chosen to periodically Reinforce you under a chosen Opportunity condition.

The following Mercenary options are recommended for the Shred Druid:

Main Mercenary – Varyana, the Berserker

• Skills: Cleave, Hysteria, Bloodthirst, Bloodlust

Reinforcement – Raheir, the Shieldbearer

• Reinforcement Ability – Crater
• Opportunity – Shred

Hysteria and Bloodlust will both give strong Attack Speed bonuses. Other setups are valid such as Subo’s Cover Fire and minimap target tracking as high quality of life, or Raheir if you need more Armor or Resistance.

Build Mechanics

Rotation and Playstyle

1. Prebuild stacks of Quickshift and Wildheart Hunger by alternating Maul and Shred.
2. Shred to approach enemies.
3. Activate Grizzly Rage to enter Dire Werewolf Form.
4. Blood Howl to trigger Stealth, activating the Critical Strike bonus for Waxing Gibbous.
5. Cast Shred on enemies.

Use Earthen Bulwark as necessary for Fortify and as a source of Unstoppable to break Crowd Controls. Earthen Bulwark or Cyclone Armor will not be available for Active Use during Grizzly Rage. You will still benefit from Bulwark via Que triggers, and still receive the passive defense boost of Cyclone Armor.

Maul does not need to hit a target for Werebear Shapeshifting buffs. Make sure you’re familiar with your Force Hold keybind to easily Maul in place.

Skills, Support and Synergies

The Shred Druid groups and dashes into enemies for strong damage. Shred is a high mobility skill that is efficient for killing and then moving on.

• Stormclaw’s Aspect causes a secondary hit of splashed damage when Shred Critically Strikes.
• If used, Waxing Gibbous will give full Critical Strike Chance, guaranteeing Stormclaw’s Aspect to deal its splash damage.

Primal Shred is taken for the extra Dash mobility, and the blanket Critical Strike Damage buff for all attacks with Shred. For farm and speed content it is the simple choice.

Supporting Skills

• Blood Howl gives attack speed, healing, and Stealth when used with Waxing Gibbous. With Waxing Gibbous and Shroud of False Death benefiting from Stealth, this means strong bursts of Shred damage.
• Cyclone Armor is mostly taken for its passive defense boost, which is active even during Grizzly Rage.
• Earthen Bulwark provides Unstoppable, Fortify and Barrier as needed. During Grizzly Rage, triggers of Que Rune will force shift, helping to maintain Wildheart Hunger stacks.
• Maul is useful for prebuilding shapeshifting buffs like Quickshift or Bestial Rampage.

Grizzly Rage

This build uses Grizzly Rage as its Ultimate Skill. With Dire Wolf’s Aspect, we become the Dire Werewolf.

Dire Werewolf Grizzly Rage grants Unstoppable for its duration, grants movement speed and healing on kill, and a damage buff that grows over time. With Aspect of the Rabid Bear, our damage type for all attacks becomes Poison, which helps unify several multipliers like Toxic Claws.

Grizzly Rage’s cooldown cannot be reduced while Grizzly Rage is active. Any Skill not tuned to Grizzly Rage, such as Earth or Storm Skills will be unavailable while Grizzly Rage is active. Some still give benefit, such as the passive defense of Cyclone Armor.

Only one point is invested into Grizzly Rage to be functional, and further points only reduce the cooldown.

Grizzly Rage has a capped duration, but we gain or extend Grizzly Rage duration with:

• Aspect of the Rampaging Werebeast gives up to 10 seconds extra duration.
• Calamity Spirit Boon.
• Kills extend the duration by 1 second.
• Overpowering Bosses extends duration by 5 seconds. Xan will periodically give instances of Overpower, giving easy coverage.
• Offensive Tempers on gear give more duration on Grizzly Rage.

If this is not sufficient to maintain Grizzly Rage for most of the time or your downtime becomes too disruptive, consider one or more of the following options:

• Exchange the Swooping Attacks Spirit Boon for Calm Before the Storm
• Target your Mastercrafts towards Grizzly Rage Duration or Cooldown.

Bestial Rampage

Bestial Rampage is the Key Passive for this build, providing a Damage Multiplier from Werebear form, and Attack Speed from Werewolf form. These bonuses are lost if in Human Form for longer than 3 seconds.

Wildheart Hunger stacks give additional bonuses to Bestial Rampage. During Grizzly Rage, triggers of Que will force form to help maintain stacks.

Spirit Management

We have several sources of Spirit Cost Reduction and Spirit Generation that make Spirit not a difficult issue to manage for this build.

• Gift of the Stag Spirit Boon gives 10 Spirit Per Second.
• Dire Wolf’s Aspect gives Spirit Cost Reduction during Grizzly Rage.
• Lust for Carnage Critical Strikes grant resource.
• Ancestral Guidance nodes for Spirit on Kill and Max Spirit.
• Aspect of the Unsatiated granting Spirit on Critical Strike. With Waxing Gibbous, that’s all attacks while the Critical Strike Chance buff is active.

In Early Gearing and Leveling, consider doing the following for Spirit Generation and Management:

• Use the Gar rune to increase Critical Strike Chance, increasing Aspect of the Unsatiated trigger chance.
• Use the Wolf’s Energize Spirit Boon.
• Adjust Gear affixes: Chance to restore resource on Weapon, Resource Generation on Rings, Resource Temper Manuals on Jewelry, or Spirit Per Second on Helm, Chest, or Boots can all be helpful.
• Worst case in early leveling and gearing, use Maul as a Basic Attack Builder. Replace Debilitating Roar or Hurricane. Maul can be useful for upkeeping Werebear Shapeshifting buffs as well.

Controller vs Keyboard and Mouse

The Shred Druid can play smoother on a controller. When held, Shred can auto-move to the nearest enemies, or continue direction if no enemies are in range. The Dashes from casts of Shred auto-aim to the nearest enemy. Keyboard and Mouse can offer better control, allowing you to choose targets to Dash to. Both options are valid. Keyboard and Mouse can also access the auto-aim behavior by going into ESC -> Options -> Gameplay, and changing Skill Toggle Behavior to Toggle All.

Elixirs, Incense and Health Potions

The Alchemist offers helpful consumables at the cost of foraged materials found throughout Sanctuary.

• Craft Elixir of Advantage II for Attack Speed and Lucky Hit bonuses.
• One of each Incense Category can be used, for a total of three active Incenses at a time. In priority:
  • Defensive – Reddamine Buzz for Max Life, or Song of the Mountain if you need the Armor, up to 1000 armor cap.
  • Core Stat – Blessed Guide for Willpower.
  • Resistance – Soothing Spices for All Resist, All Resist Maximum, and Armor.
• Upgrade your Potion as you level, increasing the instant healing of the potion!

Season 9 Updates

Dire Werewolf Grizzly Rage is back. Overpower damage is down but we will still run a Xan setup. The change to Toxic Claws means we will source another way to apply Poison: this season, Corrosive Vapor and the Seasonal Jewel Elemental Brand will take care of it for us.
