A player pushes an ability of their druid to level 15 in Diablo 4, obliterating everything around them with lightning as if they were Zeus.
Considered one of the best endgame classes in Diablo 4, the druid is a survivor and a powerful mage of nature. You can find the currently strongest druid builds here on MeinMMO.
On Reddit, user CrypticGorillaCaulk posted a picture of his Diablo 4 skill tree on July 30th. There you can see the Lightning Storm ability, which he scored 15/5 and doing massive damage with his druid can make.

How did he do it? In Diablo 4 you get points for leveling, which you can use in the skill tree. He used 5 of those on Lightning Storm, which is the maximum number of points that can be spent on a single attack. In order to achieve even higher levels, you need items.
In the comments, CrypticGorillaCaulk describes getting 2 points for Lightning Storm from the Hurricane Boots. He got 4 points from the “Mad Wolf” chest armor and 4 points from gloves.
The Thunderstorm build lets you easily walk through mobs in Diablo 4’s endgame.
What’s in it for him? With the investment of 15 points, CrypticGorillaCaulk does a whopping 9,115 to 11,141 damage to enemies. In his Reddit post, he writes that the ability “erases everything on the screen.” (via Reddit).
This impresses the Reddit community: With the ability, he summons growing thunderstorms and achieves enormous damage. MrShad0wzz comments, “You’re practically playing as Zeus now, haha.” (via Reddit).
Dekington writes, “Lightning Storm is the most fun and satisfying spell in the game. It’s literally the only reason I still play D4. It’s also strong enough that I have no problems [Alptraum-Dungeons auf Level 100] deal with it.”
Maze_of_Ith7 asks if the creator of the post plays a druid. He was confused because he first thought when he saw the screenshot that “the sorceress had an overpowering magic” that he hadn’t seen before. CrypticGorillaCaulk replies, “Druid is the better caster.”
The sorcerer class in Diablo 4 frustrates the players and causes resentment. She was the most popular class in the game after the release:
