- Spencer's poison shred werewolf Druid build may not be the most powerful, but it offers straightforward gameplay for beginners, focusing on immobilizing enemies and dealing poison damage.
- Players can explore different builds and classes in Diablo 4, with options ranging from a Barbarian that obliterates everything to a Necromancer that turns corpses into bombs.
Xbox head Phil Spencer has casually dropped his Diablo 4 character build online, also revealing in the process that he has hit the popular hack and slash game's level cap, 100. Spencer admitted that he was able to narrow down on his build with a little bit of help.
Released back in June, Diablo 4 is the latest mainline entry in Blizzard Entertainment's legendary RPG series. The game, which featured a more grounded story than its predecessor, Diablo 3, retained the franchise's focus on dungeon-clearing gameplay while offering fans new mechanics like an open world. It also still provided the Diablo series' staple loot-based character customization system, which gave players the ability to create a wide range of builds with any of the game's five available classes.
Spencer, a known fan of the series, has utilized that freedom to create a truly personalized character. The Xbox chief revealed his Diablo 4 poison shred werewolf Druid build, which featured a Waxing Gibbous unique axe, via a December 11 post on Twitter. Spencer took some advice from the website Maxroll to finish the kit, he claimed. In addition to showing off his set, Spencer also noted that he was able to get his character to reach the game's max level of 100.
While not considered to be a meta Diablo 4 build, Spencer's poison shred werewolf Druid kit is straightforward and perfect for beginners. The melee-focused set places emphasis on immobilizing enemies and using poison DoT to deal a lot of damage. As the build's name suggests, it also gives players the cool ability to transform into a werewolf.
Anyone interested in playing the game but do not think Spencer's build is fun or attractive can follow a different Druid specialization. They could also experiment and create their own fun, overpowered Diablo 4 build using the game's four other classes. From a Barbarian that can destroy everything in its path with just a single button press to a Necromancer that can turn corpses into bombs, the game offers many different ways to play.
Those seeking to reach endgame content should be ready to fully commit, however, as Diablo 4 players will need to sink around 150 hours to reach level 100, the folks over at Blizzard Entertainment themselves admitted. Although, if the head of one of the world's largest gaming brands was able to achieve that in Diablo 4 with what can only be assumed is an incredibly busy schedule, then anyone should be able to do it with a little bit of patience and determination.
