Diablo IV: Druid Abilities
The on-site playable demo, streams and conferences have let us discover the majority of the Druid's skills. As always, please keep in mind that all of this is likely to evolve between now and the final release.
Skills are divided in a similar way to Diablo III, by category, with a default location in the shortcuts. However, it's possible to override this system and take several skills of the same type, and/or assign them wherever you like.
Skill damage and some of the effects of the skills change with their level, unfortunately we don't have information on what they do at each level.
