Build Overview

The Shred Druid Leveling Build Guide for Season 13 is your essential roadmap to becoming an absolute powerhouse. It teaches you everything you need to know about the Gear pathing, critical Skill choices, early Paragon selections, and the crucial Seasonal Mechanics that will transform your character. This build isn't just fast; it’s widely considered one of the fastest builds in the game,

This guide is work in progress and more updates are coming in as we get more information closer to the Lord of Hatred launch.


Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Very High Mobility
  • Great Damage
  • Easy to Get Going

Build Variants

In this season, a lot of skills and upgrades are locked behind levels. So it’s important to know that you won’t be able to get Grizzly Rage early on, or even some key upgrades for Shred and your defensive skills.

Just keep filling in whatever you can as you level up and wait for the important ones to unlock. The build still feels good even before you have everything.

Aspects for Leveling

For leveling there are a few aspects that are really worth mentioning.

Aspect of Might is very important — it reduces the damage you take, so I recommend keeping it on as much as possible.

I would suggest putting offensive aspects ring or amulet if you have to, but it’s definitely best used on a weapon.

For gloves, you can use the Nighthowler’s gloves (the ones that boost Blood Howl).

I’ve also included the Eluding Aspect for your pants or boots so you can break crowd control more easily.

These are the main ones that will make your leveling experience much smoother.

Gift of the Stag can help give you that extra Spirit every second. Otherwise the whole Deer category is pretty strong — Wariness for damage reduction against elites, Advantageous Beast for movement speed, and honestly all of them work fine here. Prickleskin is solid too because it boosts your damage against enemies after they hit you.

Always a must take is Avian Wrath from the Eagle category. That flat 40% critical strike damage is a massive multiplier and feels straight-up overpowered.

For your second Eagle boon you can pick whatever you’re missing: Scythe Talons if you want more crit chance, Iron Feather for extra defense, or Swooping Attacks if you need more attack speed.

Paragon Board

The paragon board I showed is just a suggestion.

Rush all the legendary nodes and skip everything else early on. Your glyphs are going to be pretty low level at the beginning, so there’s no point wasting points on filler nodes. Just grab the big legendary bonuses as fast as you can.

Mercenaries

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shred has amazing mobility because it can jump to targets.


We use Cataclysm as our ultimate because it can turn into a wolf form, and more importantly, it has great damage early on. It’s also a really strong early game ability that heals everything around you while you’re running through packs.

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.
