One Diablo 4 player has managed to level up the Lightning Storm skill to rank 15, making their character cause significant area damage. Diablo 4 has a skill tree for each class, and players can build them with the most interesting skills for their playstyle.
In Diablo 4, players build their skill trees with skill points. A skill point is earned every time a character is leveled up to level 50, and extra skill points can be earned by exploring Diablo 4's Renown system, which are additional activities available in the five major regions of Sanctuary. As a result, Diablo 4 players can get 58 skill points to build their character as they see fit. There is no shortage of ideas shared by other Diablo 4 players and websites that help plan builds. The objective is to get the most out of their Diablo 4 character with the chosen skills.
Reddit user CrypticGorillaCaulk shared an image showing the skill tree of their Diablo 4 Druid, showing the Lightning Storm skill with 15 skill points. The Druid is a Diablo 4 class distinguished by high adaptability, which allows players to create an impressive variety of builds. By putting in 15 skill points the player gave their character the ability to deal between 9,115 - 11,141 damage per Lightning Storm attack. Lightning Storm is one of the best AOE skills for Diablo 4 Druid that players can also use as a single-target skill.
In the comments, other Diablo 4 players were impressed with the number of skill points CrypticGorillaCaulk invested in Lightning Storm. Several players also discussed the disparity between the builds of the five classes and how the Druid, considered the worst class in the Diablo 4 beta, is now in a good spot. Another player added that they think the Druid is what every Diablo 4 class should be, with several strong builds viable. In addition to turning their Druid into a literal version of Zeus, the player revealed that they use a lot of cooldown-focused gear and Hurricane Boots. This way their Druid not only has insane damage output but can use Lightning Storm frequently.
Season 1 of Diablo 4 is underway, and Blizzard has revealed several statistics about the first week. One example is how many characters Diablo 4 players created in week 1, topping seven million. For players who want to become a main Druid to test quirky ideas like CrypticGorillaCaulk's, Diablo 4 Season 1 brought new content like monsters and dungeons.
Diablo 4 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
