Druids are shape-shifters in Diablo 4 that transform between a Werewolf and a Werebear, and they have a lot of skill to deal serious damage to the enemy. They fight alongside other wild creatures as their companions. The skills in a Druid’s arsenal allow them to utilize the power of nature to deal devastating damage to the enemy.

They are adept at creating storms or strikes of nature and building barriers in Diablo 4. They possess several defensive skills and can also deal substantial damage. Druids excel in close combat and environmental battle. They can absorb a lot of damage due to their defensive skills but lack mobility.
