While many builds focus on clearing hordes, some players prefer to melt elites and bosses during their leveling journey. This Druid setup is all about maximizing single-target burst potential without losing momentum in the leveling process. Pulverize is the star diablo 4 item of the show, scaling hard with Overpower and synergizing well with Fortify mechanics.

Storm Strike is used to generate Spirit and apply vulnerability while charging up powerful Pulverize casts. When combined with the Ursine Horror aspect, Pulverize becomes a devastating AoE and single-target tool, ideal for elite encounters and dungeon bosses. This skill can be modified to deal high critical and Overpower damage, especially when paired with gear that stacks Fortify.

Wolves and Ravens offer utility and damage over time. Wolves can apply bleed and distract enemies while Ravens expose vulnerabilities, which synergizes perfectly with the crit scaling of Pulverize. Defensive tools like Earthen Bulwark ensure you can stay in close proximity without getting overwhelmed.

Boss fights are all about timing and resource management. Build up your Spirit bar and Fortify stacks before engaging, and unleash Pulverize when the boss is staggered or vulnerable. Stack healing effects and damage reduction to boss unique items survive longer boss fights in solo play or early World Tier 3 content.

Aspects such as Crashstone, Rampaging Werebeast, and Might contribute to sustained uptime and defense. For Paragon choices, target damage-boosting nodes that scale with core skills and Overpower potential. Glyphs that scale based on Fortify and close-range damage further elevate your output.

This setup is perfect for players focused on mini-boss events, dungeon end-bosses, and world bosses like Ashava. By staying tanky and timing your bursts, this build allows you to dominate in solo or party scenarios where single-target output is key.
