Subterranean Aspect is the new Legendary Aspect for Druids in Season 1. To understand why it works, though, we first have to talk about Subterranean Aspect. This build is designed to offer all of those things. Until then, you’ll want something that’s a little more reliable, a little quicker, and, let’s face it, a little more fun. By level 50 or so, you may be able to swap to a Pulverize build. Though fairly strong in its base form, the things that make Pulverize so special don’t become available to you until a little later in the game. Pulverize is expensive and requires quite a bit of gear/Legendary Aspect support. If you’re somewhat familiar with the Druid class in Diablo 4, you may look at this build and ask “Where’s Pulverize?” While it’s true that Pulverize is one of the Druid’s best overall abilities, I’m not a big fan of it when it comes to leveling. and even then you can't rely on Etched Sigil to place the hydras in a good spot for you 100% of the time.Īnd there are many, many examples of build and play descriptions that sound like they're written by someone who has never actually played the build.Key Legendary Aspects: Subterranean Aspect, Shepherd’s Aspect, Ballistic Aspect, Aspect of Mending Stone Manual casting is critical for playing that build unless you happen to be pushing at GR 130 in a group where you stay in the same spot for several minutes. That is just plain wrong, With the duration of summoned hydras and moving quickly through any GRs even as high as 100 it's a recipe for disaster since your hydras will be somewhere behind you, not where you need them as the only source of damage for that build.

'As previously noted however, you will be summoning the Hydras not through manual casting, but through channeling and the powers of the Etched Sigil' Icy Veins is a good place to start learning about a build but Diablo Fans or specific streamers are much better places to look for refinements.Ī great example of that is Icy Veins text about how to play Typhon Hydras this season.
