The Druid is an excellent class to take into Ladder Season 4 as it sports a high damage output on either single targets or groups of enemies. It's also lauded for being an easy class to master and makes chaining abilities together fun and intuitive. However, it does have some downsides.
The Druid class has relatively low mobility, and its fast in-your-face style of play can leave you open to taking damage yourself if you aren't careful. However, there are workarounds to this, and those are what we'll be using in our pick for the best Druid build below, the Fissure Druid.

Best Diablo 2 Resurrected Druid Build: Fissure Druid
The Fissure Druid takes fire damage and cranks it up to 11, with its Fissure and Armaggedon abilities that deal tons of damage over a wide AoE (Area of Effect), which can clear out a pack of enemies with ease. Its single target damage dealer, Firestorm, paired with abilities such as Molten Boulder and Volcano can be used while your other abilities are on cooldown, making you an unstoppable force of nature.
The latter two abilities Molten Bolder and Volcano can even be used against Fire Immune enemies thanks to their physical damage. When used with the Sunder Charm mechanic to weaken enemy resistance to your damage element even further, you can consistently deal damage as well. And on top of all of that, there are some skills and gear that you can use to buff your build even further as listed below.
