Landslide Druid Endgame Build Guide

If you are fresh in Torment 1 coming from a leveling guide, this is where you begin. Since only some Aspects can be guaranteed from Dungeon unlocks for the Codex of Power, focus on acquiring the additional aspects via gambling with Murmuring Obols.

Gear & Skills

• Note that this midgame skill tree differs quite a bit from both the leveling and endgame setups. This is a "Trampleslide" build, if you're familiar, and it utilizes the Nature's Fury passive along with Symbiotic to rapidly recover Nature Magic skill cooldowns. Among these is Trample, which is granted the Earth tag by Trampled Earth. Spam Wind Shear and Hurricane to recover its Cooldown. Trample acts as a hybrid mobility/clear skill with a much larger AoE than Poison Creeper, though Creeper is still effective at mobbing once you're in range.
• One key issue to highlight is in the Paragon Board. Because this variant does not have access to Vasily's Prayer or Earthbreaker, it does not leverage either Survival Instincts or Ancestral Guidance. You can still utilize the first half of the board effectively with this setup, but the intent is that you graduate into the Ancestral variant before this becomes a concern. Make it a priority to farm Echo of Varshan (for Vasily's Prayer) and Grigoire, The Galvanic Saint (for Earthbreaker) early into your Torment progression.
• Don't overspend resources on non-Ancestral gear, especially when it comes to Masterworking. This gear will eventually be replaced entirely.
• Early on in your progression, focus on Armor & Resistances to survive. Each Torment difficulty adds a penalty of -250 Armor and -25% all Res and it's recommended to keep both capped (1000 Armor, 70+ Res) at all times. As you unlock higher power gear, masterworking levels and more Paragon points, you naturally scale your character into the higher difficulties and can start replacing some of these rolls with offensive or utility stats. In this Starter variant, Mending Stone can be exchanged for Disobedience if you still need additional Armor.
• After defenses are sorted, capping Movement Speed is another primary goal. To that end, this variant employs Ghostwalker and activates it with a combination of Earthen Bulwark (with Mending Stone) and Trample. Wind Shear grants another Movement Speed bonus for 4 seconds at a time.
• From the time you reach Earthen Devastation in your Paragon Board, be mindful of your Damage to Crowd Controlled Enemies bonus. The target for this stat is 250%, and your personal value will depend on the nodes taken on this board, your Offensive Tempers, and the level of your Earth and Sky glyph. Over time, you'll be able to exchange Offensive tempers from Damage to Crowd Controlled Enemies to Earth Critical Strike Chance.

The goal here is to progress through the Torment difficulties as you unlock Ancestrals, Paragon points, all Legendary Aspects, Temper mods and the most important Uniques to pilot this build. Some Legendary Aspects are used temporarily to fill slots that may be replaced with more Unique items later on.

Gear & Skills

• As you upgrade your gear to Ancestrals with more masterworking levels and reach higher paragon, you can focus more and more on replacing Armor & Resistance rolls with better stats, but be sure to stay capped at 1000 Armor and 70%+ Resistances for the difficulty you're currently in.
• Once you've acquired the Core Uniques for this build, you can transition to what is essentially the final version, with a skill tree, playstyle, and paragon board identical to those described in the main sections of this guide. The addition of Mythic Uniques from this point are more build-enhancing than build-enabling.
• From the time you reach Earthen Devastation in your Paragon Board, be mindful of your Damage to Crowd Controlled Enemies bonus. The target for this stat is 250%, and your personal value will depend on the nodes taken on this board, your Offensive Tempers, and the level of your Earth and Sky glyph. Over time, you'll be able to exchange Offensive tempers from Damage to Crowd Controlled Enemies to Earth Critical Strike Chance.
• Feel free to continue using Juggernaut's over Skinwalker's as needed for additional Armor.

This Speedfarming variant optimizes the build for easy activities like Helltides, Whispers, Nightmare Dungeons and lower Pit Tiers after you have finished the Mythic variant and reached a plateau in your progression.

Gear & Skills

• The Mythic variant is relatively well-suited for for Open World content. You can make some minor adjustments to improve movement speed by replacing Earthen Bulwark with Trample for some extra mobility and Spirit generation. Remove Provocation to max out Digitigrade Gait.
• If you have either a spare Amulet with Movement Speed or an extra pair of Wildheart Hunger that you can masterwork for Movement Speed, great. If not, it's not a huge deal.

This setup optimizes the build to push the highest possible Tiers in The Pit after you have finished the Mythic variant and reached a plateau in your progression.

Gear & Skills

• For the Pit Push variant, we make a number of changes that make the build more cumbersome to play and squishier, but that ramp up the damage considerably in exchange. Be sure to read over all the changes below.
• Heir of Perdition replaces Vasily's Prayer for a permanent 60% multiplier and an easy way to cap Critical Strike Chance and Movement Speed. This swap introduces a cascade of changes to the build:
  • As Landslide is no longer a Werebear skill, you must use Claw or another Shapeshifting skill within 3 seconds of casting it to maintain the bonuses from Quickshift, Heightened Senses, and Bestial Rampage, as well as to ramp Wildheart Hunger.
  • Earthen Bulwark is exchanged with Trample as your sole source of Unstoppable, but also to activate the Werebear bonuses from Heightened Senses and Bestial Rampage. It must be used when entering a new zone or any time you drop these buffs.
  • Provocation is of no use to this setup. Switch it out for full points in Humanity and a couple in Circle of Life.
  • Skinwalker's is exchanged with Juggernaut's to recoup some Armor and Earth Critical Strike Chance tempers can safely be dropped in favor of Critical Strike Damage.
  • This setup no longer benefits from Survival Instincts, so this board is exchanged for Constricting Tendrils on the board below. Note that Fang and Claw is exchanged for Human.
• When fighting monsters in high tiers of the Pit, remember that after crowd controlling elites for 5 seconds, they become Unstoppable for 8 seconds. This may be the right moment to start kiting them around because your damage done goes way down and they can freely retaliate.
• In high tier boss fights, beware that many of your conditional damage and damage reduction modifiers cannot activate outside of stagger phases. This means they generally deal more damage against you than regular monsters and you have to prioritize dodging the attacks from shadow bosses while you can barely scratch them outside of stagger bursts.
