Nerfs to exaggeratedly powerful druid builds are not everything that Blizzard has in store for the future. At the moment, it’s not clear how the build will be “fixed,” though.

Blizzard is aware of that, and patching up some people’s fun by potentially removing some of the triggers that cause this exploit to work seems like the only way to prevent abuse. While this build does not seem to be one of the bugs in Diablo 4, it’s an unintended exploit of the mechanics that certainly affect gameplay balance, as other builds won’t get close to doing this damage. In a recent statement made to PC Gamer, Blizzard has affirmed that this kind of build is not intentional and that the company’s devs are currently looking into how to change it in the last update. However, it seems that the days of the famous shred druid are numbered in Diablo 4 if it’s up to the creators of the game.

Moxsy, who named the build “Lightning Shred 2.0,” explained that the strategy involves using a Waxing Gibbous axe to guarantee Shred criticals, reduce Shred Spirit cost, stack critical strike damage with abilities such as the Aspect of the Rampaging Werebeasts and increase the percentage of damage that crits do. That was all due to a special build he was using, which focused on constantly doing big crits with area-of-effect lightning damage. This was one of the best druid builds in Diablo 4, as it allowed gamers to do insane amounts of damage, but it seems that it won’t last for long.Ī few days ago, a streamer called Moxsy posted a clip in which his Diablo 4 druid dealt over 1.8 billion damage in a single hit. Blizzard has recently announced that it’s working to remove the famous “Shred Druid build” from Diablo 4 in order to restore the game’s balance.
