Introduction
The Landslide Druid leveling build pulverizes foes under the might of the Earth. This is your leveling guide for the Diablo 4 Server Slam Beta, with Skill Point allocation up to the max level of 20. Landslide Druid is easily capable of blasting through the entire Fractured Peaks content that is available. Let us go over the build mechanics, character progression and playstyle!
Landslide has the most starting damage of all Druid Core Skills, making it the best build to start leveling. It also hits twice to take down tough elites and bosses quickly. This build uses extra Skill Points to increase Landslide damage, since it is all you really need.

Mechanics and Playstyle
Storm Strike provides generous benefits for a Basic Skill with 25% Damage Reduction, 50% chance to makes enemies Vulnerable, and 15% chance to Immobilize.
Landslide is the hardest hitting Core Skill and hits twice without any Aspects, however its small AoE and delay can be difficult to aim. Practice using it as if it were a melee skill, dragging enemies and casting it when they gather near you.
The Immobilize from Enhanced Storm Strike and Enhanced Landslide grants Primal Landslide a guaranteed Critical Strike with 40%[x] Critical Strike Damage.
Cyclone Armor is a one-point wonder Skill. Just having it on your Skill Bar passively provides Damage Reduction.
Trample is used for stuns, mobility, and Spirit generation.
The final Skill Bar slot can be used for 
Boulder, Earthen Bulwark, any other Defensive Skill, or any Companion Skill. It is quite flexible, so try different things to suit your preferences.
Many extra points are left to invest into making Landslide more powerful with Abundance and Wild Impulses.
Damage Rotation
Use the following priority to maximize damage:
- Keep casting Storm Strike to generate Spirit, apply Vulnerable and Immobilize.
- Spend Spirit with Landslide. Group up enemies to efficiently kill them.
- Repeat as necessary, making sure you re-apply Vulnerable against bosses for every hit of Landslide.
