Stone Burst – Druid Build for Diablo 4 (Season 8)

Updated for Season 8

Strengths and Weaknesses

Season 8: The significant rework of Aspect of Anticline Burst means higher damage potential at a speed cost, since gameplay will now stop to channel and grow the bursts.

Build Introduction

Stone Burst is a satisfyingly impactful Core Earth Skill that can be channeled and grown in size, or held to pulse minor damage within its area. With Aspect of Anticline Burst, Stone Bursts grown to max radius will always Overpower.

• Earth Spike can be taken for convenience as a Basic Spirit Builder, especially while leveling and gearing. Claw is useful for shapeshifting buffs maintenance.
• (Leveling) Before getting access to Sinister Tendrils Paragon Node, swap Blood Howl for Poison Creeper to apply Poison for Envenom.

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!

Uniques and Mythic Uniques

The following Unique Items are required, recommended, or optionally beneficial for the Stone Burst Druid

• Stone of Vehemen is a simple Damage Reduction and Damage Multiplier buff to the final explosion of Stone Burst. The Damage To Crowd Controlled Enemies instead of Lucky Hit is good for Earthen Devastation but less Lucky Hit can mean fewer Energize Spirit Boon or other Lucky Hit triggers. Use this over a Legendary Totem if your Spirit Management is good.

• Vasily’s Prayer is a strong source of Fortify and makes Stone Burst a Werebear skill. This enables the maintenance of several strong multipliers like Bestial Rampage and Quickshift and granting auras including Survival Instincts while the Form is active.

• Insatiable Fury is a strong defensive Unique Item, and grants skill ranks to Werebear skills, including Stone Burst because Vasily’s Prayer makes Stone Burst a Werebear Skill. This chest also helps to maintain shapeshifting bonuses like Heightened Senses or Quickshift by keeping the Werebear Form active between combat.

• Tibault’s Will is a tidy damage multiplier and periodic source of Spirit. Enhanced Earthen Bulwark and if used, Aspect of Metamorphosis provide sources for Unstoppable.

Optional Playstyle Unique Items

• Airidah’s Inexorable Will is a usable Unique Item that shines in farm content at the cost of some top-end damage. It will give periodic grips from casts of Petrify, which happen often thanks to our Runeword setup. Masterwork the Willpower%.

• Mjölnic Ryng is a viable optional playstyle variant item that can make Spirit Management less of a concern for most druid builds. For the Stone Burst Druid, this allows for easy casts of Stone Bursts while Cataclysm is active, as well as providing a strong damage multiplier. To play into this Unique, make the following changes:
  • Exchange ranks and passives in Petrify for their equivalent skill ranks in Cataclysm, and ranks in Catastrophe for Endless Tempest.
  • Exchange any Resource tempers on Amulet and Rings for Ultimate Efficiency —  Druid – Cataclysm Cooldown Reduction.
  • Run the Zec Rune for Cataclysm cooldown reduction.
  • Exchange Masochistic Boon for Calm Before the Storm, and Energize for Calamity.
  • Maintain Cataclysm when engaging enemies.

Mythic Unique Items

• (Recommended) Shroud of False Death – This Chest can be a strong option, offering +1 to all Skill Passives. That includes several offensive multipliers, utility choices, and defensive gains. Masterwork the All Stats.

• (Recommended) Ring of Starless Skies is a high value Mythic with strong Gear Affixes, high damage multiplier and Resource Cost Reduction for the Spirit-hungry Stone Burst. Masterwork the Attack Speed or Critical Strike Chance.

Gems and Runewords

Listed below are the recommended Gem and Runeword setups for the Stone Burst Druid:

Gems

Weapon Gems	Armor Gems	Jewelry Gems
Grand Ruby for Overpower Damage	Grand Sapphire for Willpower	Grand Skull until Armor Cap at 1000 Armor, then Grand Diamond for All Resistance

Runewords

Use these Runeword combinations for the Stone Burst Druid, placed in Armor slots.

Runeword Combination	Runeword Effects
Igni Xal	Igni – Gain: 25 Offering. Stores Offering every 0.3 seconds. Cast a Non-Basic Skill to gain the stored Offering. Xal – Requires: 300 Offering. Overflow: Gain more Max Life. Cooldown: 3 seconds. Gain 20% Maximum Life for 6 seconds.
Lith Yom	Lith – Gain: 25 Offering. Stand still while fighting for 0.3 seconds. Yom – 500 Offering Cooldown: 5 Seconds. Overflow: Increased Duration. Evoke the Druid’s Petrify, Stunning enemies and restoring Spirit.

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.

Stone Burst with Aspect of Anticline Burst is guaranteed Overpower. Xal will give strong uptime on extra Max Life, which scales Overpower damage. Periodic casts of Petrify will be a strong Stun, Critical Strike Damage multiplier and Spirit Generator. Tempering for Petrify Duration will mean significant uptime on Petrify.

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

• Offering Efficiency: Other Ritual options such as Poc for Spend Resource, Bac for Move, or Feo for get Crowd Controlled may trigger more often.
• Spirit Management: Poc Lum in combination can give strong Spirit Refund. Que Invocation for Earthen Bulwark can also give spirit back with Tibault’s Will.
• 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 Stone Burst 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.

Boss Powers (Season 8)

Season 8: Belial’s Return offers Boss Powers, equipped from the Boss Power tab of the character sheet. One Main Power is chosen, and three modifier powers boost the Main Power or offer smaller bonuses.

Here’s a general recommendation for the Stone Burst Druid:

Main Power

• Wandering Death’s Chest Beam

Secondary Modifiers

• Lilith’s Wind of Hate
• Belial’s Eye Beams
• Hatred’s Embrace’s Haste

Many boss power combinations will work and several are only situationally useful. Feel free to adjust powers to your content. For example:

• The Wandering Death’s Chest Beam will need to be aimed at the enemy as you are building your Stone Burst. If this is difficult, the power is also a strong Secondary Modifier and an easier Main Power like Andariel’s Flaming Skull can be taken.
• If pushing high enough Pit that you cannot break the Lilith’s Wind of Hate blister clones, use Torusk’s Rage.
• For a defensive option, use Blackmailer’s Sabotage.

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 Stone Burst Druid:

Main Mercenary – Varyana, the Berserker

• Core Skill: Cleave, Hysteria, Bloodthirst, Bloodlust

Reinforcement – Raheir, the Shieldbearer

• Reinforcement Ability: Crater
• Opportunity: Stone Burst

Hysteria and Bloodlust will both give strong Attack Speed bonuses.

For a Spirit Management setup, try Raheir’s Iron Wolf’s Call for periodic free casts of Stone Burst, or Aldkin’s Ember’s Gift for Spirit Per Second while in Storm of Fire.

Build Mechanics

Rotation and Playstyle

Before Combat:

1. Claw in place or Blood Howl to activate Werewolf Shapeshifting buffs Quickshift and Heightened Senses.
2. Maintain Hurricane for bonuses including Stormshifter’s Aspect.

When Engaging enemies:

1. Petrify dangerous enemies for a large Critical Strike Damage multiplier, Spirit generation and Stun.
2. Seasonal: Aim at your enemies to apply the Wandering Death’s Chest Beam debuff and damage when channeling Stone Burst
3. Channel and grow your Stone Burst, releasing the attack at Max Radius to Overpower the burst.
4. Claw as filler to maintain Spirit.

Claw and other Skills that change your Form do not need to hit enemies to gain the Shapeshifting benefits. It can often be beneficial to keybind and tap Force Hold to be able to cast in place.

Skills, Support and Synergies

The Stone Burst Druid is a simple gameplay cycle:

• Have the Spirit to cast Stone Burst.
• Channel your Stone Burst to grow it to max radius, casting a large zone Overpower burst of damage.

Stone Burst is our high-damage Core Skill, and the build is centered around it. The base form of Stone Burst is held and channeled to grow up to two times, then released to deal high-impact damage.

• Aspect of Anticline Burst allows Stone Burst to Overpower when cast at Max Radius.
• This guaranteed Overpower means we do not have to invest into variable availability Overpower sources like Provocation or Obsidian Slam Spirit BOon.
• Stone Burst deals Physical Damage, but as an Earth Skill, will be able to take advantage of Nature and Earth damage modifiers.
• Enhanced Stone Burst gives Stone Burst a skill shot for a higher multiplier where the first radius of the Stone Burst would be. This can unfortunately get shifted when the Earth Augments double-cast triggers, placing two Stone Bursts side by side.
• With Vasily’s Prayer, Stone Burst will also be a Werebear Skill and receive Werebear and Shapeshifting modifiers as well as helping to maintain Shapeshifting buffs and bonuses such as Survival Instincts, Quickshift, Heightened Senses, and Wildheart Hunger.

Supporting Skills

• Earthen Bulwark gives Unstoppable, and if used with Tibault’s Will is a means for Spirit and a damage multiplier.
• Claw is a filler Basic Attack that can help maintain Werewolf buffs like Heightened Senses or Bestial Rampage. While leveling and still using a Basic for Spirit Generation, Earth Spike or Wind Shear may be preferred to accommodate Stone Burst‘s ranged playstyle. Once Spirit Management is solved and you do not need a builder, this can be swapped for options like Innate Debilitating Roar or Poison Creeper.
• Blood Howl gives an Attack Speeed bonus, a heal for Starlight Aspect also helps maintain shapeshifting bonuses.
• Hurricane maintains a zone of damage reduction and gives bonuses like Stormshifter’s Aspect.

Ultimate and Key Passive

• Petrify is our Ultimate Skill. This is a strong Spirit gain, a multiplicative layer of Critical Strike Damage and Crowd Control Stun application. If you do not need the healing from Masochistic Spirit Boon, Calm before the Storm can be a strong choice for more total casts of Petrify.

The Key Passive for this build is Ursine Strength. This is a heavy boost to Overpower damage, and is further multiplied from other Overpower sources like Survival Instincts.

Poison for Envenom is maintained by Lucky Hits from Legendary Paragon Node Sinister Tendrils. If you find you no longer need to use Claw to build Spirit, you can swap in Poison Creeper to passively assist with Poison application to enemies.

Spirit Management

Stone Burst is a Spirit-hungry build, especially when using the skill passive multipliers Raging Stone Burst and Wild Impulses. Spirit is managed through several means:

• Energize Spirit Boon grants a lucky hit to give Spirit.
• Gift of the Stag Energize Boon gives higher Maximum Spirit and Spirit Per Second.
• Tibault’s Will with Enhanced Earthen Bulwark and if used, Aspect of Metamorphosis to grant Spirit on Unstoppable.
• Petrify gives Spirit on cast.
• The Ancestral Guidance paragon board gives Spirit on Kill, Resource Generation and Maximum Spirit increases.
• Gear Affixes like Spirit per second and Chance on Hit to grant Spirit.
• If used, Starlight Aspect can give Spirit after healing 20% or overhealing 200% of Max life. Masochistic Boon, potions, and if used, Skinwalker’s Aspect all provide sources of healing. Willpower improves healing received.
• If used, Mjölnic Ryng maxes Spirit and makes Stone Burst free while Cataclysm is active.

In an Endgame state, these sources are sufficient for Spirit management. If these are not sufficient while leveling and gearing, consider one or more of the following supplementary options:

• Use the Spirit Management Runeword setup Poc Lum.
• Use the Spirit Management Mercenary setup Iron Wolf’s Call.
• Use Earthen Might Key Passive.
• Gear for Spirit Per Second gear affixes on helm, chest or boots.
• Gear for Spirit on Kill, Resource Cost Reduction, or Chance to gain Resource on Weapons.
• Target Resource Generation for Tempers and Masterworking.
• Use Aspect of Quicksand as a Utility Aspect and Aspect of the Umbral as a Resource Aspect.
• Use Primal Stone Burst over Raging Stone Burst.
• Take ranks from Wild Impulses and place them in Circle of Life. The extra healing will interact with Starlight Aspect.
• Worst case, use your Basic Skill as a Spirit Builder.

Stone Storm Variant

The stop, channel, release, move gameplay of traditional Stone Burst can get stale. With a few Season 8 changes to how Nature’s Fury interacts with Stone Burst means that triggered Stone Bursts will explode at max radius; which allows it to Overpower with Aspect of Anticline Burst. So pick your favorite Storm Core skill between Lightning Storm or Tornado and make the following changes:

• Spirit Boons – exchange Masochistic for Overload boon: the storm skills will add the Storm Tag to Stone Burst, making it easier to Poison enemies and give a bit of extra damage
• Replace Claw with your Second Core: either Primal Lightning Storm or Raging Tornado, by playstyle preference.
  • We won’t attach any aspects like Stormchaser’s Aspect or Unsung Ascetic’s Wraps, as just Casting the skill is what matters.
• Swap your Key Passive to Nature’s Fury.
• Either Petrify or Cataclysm are both viable, as is using Mjölnic Ryng.

From there, use your Storm Core Skill to trigger smart, wide radius Stone Bursts!

Is new Unique Galen’s Birthright good for this? *probably not*. Nature’s Fury triggers of Earth Skills, despite recieving the Earth Tag, don’t benefit from Perfect Storm because that requires direct Casts.

Would Thunderstruck be a better board? likely. It would replace Sinister Tendrils since Overload Spirit Boon will provide Poisoned Condition without it.

More theorycraft on this to follow after season launch and all this is testable.

Elixirs, Incense and Health Potions

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

• Craft the highest available Elixir of Fortitude for Maximum Life%. Max Life% is significant for Overpower.
• 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 8 Updates

Note the significant change to Aspect of Anticline Burst means Stone Burst damage should generally be up, and we will invest more into boosting Overpower sources like Max Life and Key Passive Ursine Strength. This also means the gameplay involves stopping to channel and grow Stone Burst, which means slower stop and cast gameplay. So likely enough up on push, down on speed. Stone burst remains strong and with many options to fit gameplay.

Is new Unique Galen’s Birthright good for this? *probably not*. Overpower multipliers like Survival Instincts require opposing Form Checks to be active, and are simply too good. It would also make maintenance of strong buffs like Heightened Senses problematic.

Check out the Dual Core Nature’s Fury Stone Storm Variant for some alternative gameplay styles!
