Shred Leveling

The Shred Druid Leveling Build Guide teaches you about Gear, Skills, Paragon, Playstyle & Seasonal Mechanics in Diablo 4 Season 10.

Shred is one of the fastest builds in the game that quickly comes online. Perfect for leveling.

Before Grizzly Rage

1. Once you have the Quickshift Passive, alternate between casting Wind Shear and Shred until Max Stacks.
2. Cast Blood Howl whenever it is up.
3. Cast Bulwark when you get Stunned.
4. Cast Petrify against Elites and Bosses.
5. Cast Wind Shear when you are out of Spirit or need to Poison an Elite/Boss for Envenom to activate.
6. Spam Shred.

After Grizzly Rage

1. Once you have the Quickshift Passive, alternate between casting Maul and Shred until Max Stacks.
2. Cast Blood Howl whenever it is up.
3. Cast Grizzly Rage.
4. Spam Shred.

Shred has amazing mobility because of Primal Shred. When we combine it with Stormclaw's Aspect amazing AoE, it becomes the perfect Druid leveling build.

Before we manage to drop Dire Wolf Aspect and Rampaging Werebeast Aspect, we will use Petrify.

Purge the Infected, along with Unsatiated Aspect, quickly makes our Shred into a true damaging powerhouse, as Unsatiated Aspect and Shred's low Spirit cost allows us to sustain it.

Do the Malnok Stronghold and the Dungeon that it unlocks to get Stormclaw's Aspect. Also, get Unsatiated Aspect from the Tormented Ruins Dungeon as soon as possible.

Chaotic Perks

Initially, we use:

• Brawn Over Brains: for more Maximum Life.
• Overabundance: for [x]800% more damage.
• Purge the Infected for 100% Crit Chance and [x]60% more damage.
• Accelerating Chaos to reduce our Cooldowns.

Once we get Marred Guard, we can swap Accelerating Chaos for it and A Cornered Beast for Brawn Over Brains to do A LOT more damage and even have more survivability.

Mercenaries

We use Subo with Wire Trap for Movement Speed and Cover Fire for Critical Strike Damage. In addition, Subo provides us with the invaluable ability to see Elites on our Minimap.

Our secondary Mercenary is Raheir with Crater to pull in.

Runes

Before we get access to Legendary Runes, we will use Moni + Que to keep ourselves Unstoppable and make us tankier.

Cir + Zec will be used for better Ultimate uptime.

Later on, when we get Marred Guard
