Diablo 4’s Druid features a fun Passive called Envenom, which, as you can expect, helps with Poisoning enemies. Some of the best builds for this class feature the Envenom passive, and while it’s only three points, it does a lot for your damage, and your Companions overall. Even if you’re going with Storm damage/Storm builds, you’re still almost certainly going to have Envenom.When you add Poison to your attacks, via sources like Aspect of the Calm Breeze or Uniques like the Rotting Lightbringer, suddenly, your nature friends hit so much harder. If you’re looking to get the most out of the Envenom Passive in Diablo 4 as a Druid, here are a few builds to try out.Best options for Druid builds that use the Envenom Passive in Diablo 4Envenom is one of the best passives in the Druid catalog in Diablo 4, as its designed to give you (and your Companions) extra damage when hitting a Poisoned enemy. The great thing about it, is even if you aren’t focused on Companions, it still directly benefits you.Envenom can be used in so many builds with no real drawbacks (Image via Blizzard Entertainment)Envenom gives you and your Companions 10%/20%/30%[x] bonus Critical Strike Damage against Poisoned enemies. It’s even a Multiplicative bonus, and we all love those. With that in mind, these are some builds you should consider as a Druid using the Envenom Passive in Diablo 4:Companion Druid (Leveling)Shred Druid (Leveling/Endgame)Pulverize Druid (Leveling/Endgame)Ravens Druid (Endgame)Companion Druid is a pretty simple concept: Lots of animal friends (and poisoned vines) to swarm under your enemies. If you want to have a bunch of minions, but aren’t into Necromancers, you’ll go this way instead.You’ll run Legendary Aspects like Shepherd’s Aspect, the One With Nature Key Passive, and of course, Envenom on this Diablo 4 Druid build. It’s a super easy playstyle, too. You Lacerate, then pop Poison Creeper, Ravens, and Wolves! It’s fun, it’s powerful, and it transitions neatly into a few endgame builds.You could also go with Shred Druid instead if you want to get something out of the Envenom Passive. While it really only uses Poison Creeper in the Companions group, it allows you to do huge bursts of Poison AOE, thanks to both the Poison Creeper and the Shred ability. Thanks to the Spirit Boon Pack Leader, you can get resets of Poison Creeper with Shred. You also have Storm Strike for Vulnerable, and Petrify for Stun, and even more Critical Strike Damage. There have been a variety of ways to play this, as we’ve covered in the past.What's not to love about Rotting Lightbringer? It's such an amazing Unique (Image via Blizzard Entertainment)Then we have the Pulverize Druid, perhaps better known as the Rotting Lightbringer Druid. It’s focused around the Legendary of the same name, and skills like Poison Creeper and Pulverize. Before you have the Rotting Lightbringer, most of the poison damage comes from Poison Creeper, but Rotting Lightbringer creates puddles of poison if one isn’t on the ground where you’re using Pulverize.This also guarantees its own Overpower, and causes other puddles to splash for more damage. It’s such a wickedly powerful build, and you can transition it effortlessly into the Endgame with the Unique and Aspect of the Ursine Horror, which makes Pulverize into an Earth Skill that reduces cooldowns of Earth Skills when you Overpower.Raven Druids are an Envenom Druid Diablo 4 build that require Kilt of Blackwing Unique and Stormcrow’s Aspect to turn a Grizzly Rage build into something far more powerful. You swarm your enemies under in a constant group of angry Ravens, and of course, you also want Shepherd’s Aspect here too, for more damage.It takes a bit more work though. You need to know how to build Quickshift stacks easily, and then pop Grizzly Rage. It has a bit of a decent rotation, but when you learn it, you’re going to love it. Thanks to the Overload Spirit Boon, you’ll do plenty of Poison Damage.Check out our other Diablo 4 guides and featuresDiablo 4 Season 11: Release date, and all known featuresDiablo 4 Season 11: All Divine Gifts and how to get themDiablo 4 Season 11: All New Uniques
