Buy Diablo 4 Gold

In Diablo 4, unique items are an integral part of every build. The biggest difference between these unique items and other items is that they have some unique affixes. Some unique items are very versatile and can appear in every build, while some unique items are only particularly useful for a certain class.

Ugly Bastard Helm Unique is a very suitable helmet for Barbarian. It allows your Barbarian to get a damage boost in Berserking and deal a lot of fire damage to the enemy. Even if this helmet is not used as a core equipment for your Barbarian, it can also appear in its builds as one of Barbarian’s powerful aids.

Ugly Bastard Helm

• [10.0 - 85.0]% Fire Resistance.
• + [2 - 5] to Prolific Fury (Barbarian Only).
• [8.0 - 12.5]% Wrath of the Berserker Cooldown Reduction.
• + [1 - 3] to Aggressive Resistance (Barbarian Only).
• Lucky Hit: Up to a 40% Chance to Deal + [605 - 6,750] Fire Damage.
• “When you cast Wrath of the Berserker, it creates an explosion around you that deals Fire damage. Your direct damage dealt is converted into Fire damage When you Berserking.”
• “[80 - 100]% [x] increased Fire damage.”

Ugly Bastard Helm Many of the unique armor mods are tailored specifically for Barbarians, which explains why Ugly Bastard Helm has been one of the best Barbarian helmets for several seasons.

Ugly Bastard Helm increases Barbarian’s fire damage and converts some of the damage dealt by Barbarian while Berserking to fire damage, which makes the damage dealt by Barbarian while Berserking also increase by Ugly Bastard Helm’s affix value of “[80 - 100]% [x] increased Fire damage.” Ugly Bastard Helm grants Barbarian the ability to deal area damage, which makes farming Diablo 4 Gold and clearing nightmare dungeons faster for Barbarian.

In contrast, items like Crown of Lucion lack uniqueness in their affixes. While it has many good affixes, it lacks a dominant direction, which makes it difficult for any build to fully benefit from its full bonuses.

Tuskhelm of Joritz the Mighty is also a helm specifically designed for the Barbarian. All the attributes of this helm are designed to increase Barbarian’s damage while Berserking. Godslayer Crown is more versatile than Crown of Lucion and can be used in multiple builds. However, the damage increase brought by these two helmets to Barbarian is not as good as that of Ugly Bastard Helm.

How To Get Ugly Bastard Helm?

When the player unlocks Torment 1 Difficulty, you may find this unique item in any monster drop or in any treasure chest. Generally speaking, you can try to get Ugly Bastard Helm through the following ways:

• End game bosses
• Kurast Undercity
• The Pit
• Purveyor of Curiosities
• Infernal Hordes

Purveyor of Curiosities and End game bosses are the best ways for you to get Ugly Bastard Helm. You can choose to gamble here at Purveyor of Curiosities. Purveyor of Curiosities will provide players with a random version of the optional equipment. If you are lucky enough, you can bet on an Ugly Bastard Helm. In any case, this probability is much higher than opening treasure chests and farming monsters. After all, the most you can get through these two conventional methods is still ordinary equipment and Diablo 4 gold.

A better way than Purveyor of Curiosities is to farm bosses. You need to check the boss’s item drop table before farming End game bosses, and you will find that Ugly Bastard Helm Unique helmet is lying among Lor Zir’s drops. After understanding this, you just need to focus on this boss and kill it repeatedly.

Every time you summon Lor Zir, you need to offer 12 Exquisite Blood. So you have to prepare some in advance.

Barbarian Builds Suitable For Ugly Bastard Helm

Although Ugly Bastard Helm is very versatile for Barbarians, there are always some builds that have better choices in helmet selection. Ugly Bastard Helm is the ultimate choice for some builds, while some builds just use it as a transition to Mythic Unique gear. They will later choose Mythic Unique gear to replace Ugly Bastard Helm. Mythic Unique gear is rarer than Unique gear and is usually more powerful.

Builds that need Ugly Bastard Helm as a transition:

• HoTA Barbarian
• Rend Barbarian
• Thorns Barbarian
• Upheaval Barbarian
• Earthquake Barbarian
• Mighty Throw Barbarian

Builds that rely on Wrath of the Berserker:

• Whirlwind Barbarian
• Double Swing Barbarian
• Bash Barbarian
• Rupture Barbarian

When Barbarian casts Wrath of the Berserker, he can enter Berserking state to increase his output greatly. The disadvantage of this type of build is that it lacks AOE damage and is very dependent on Wrath of the Berserker. Ugly Bastard Helm not only reduces the cooldown of Wrath of the Berserker, but also provides Barbarians with a certain AOE ability, which improves the efficiency of Barbarian in clearing monsters, participating in seasonal activities and farming gold, so it is irreplaceable in these builds.

The above is all the information about Ugly Bastard Helm. Even if Barbarian player does not plan to use this unique item, you can also get one as a collection. It’s fun to let your Barbarian deal fire damage occasionally.

No matter which season of Diablo 4 you are in, including DLC, you must choose a suitable build for the class you are playing, and you will also need to adjust and upgrade the available builds after entering the endgame phase to cope with the more difficult content in that phase.

The current Season of Witchcraft is one of the best seasons in the history of Diablo 4 series, and it is worth your effort to create better builds for it. It is worth mentioning that Necromancer has a good upgrade and endgame performance in this season, so you may want to know what build you should use in Season 7 endgame when playing this class.

Choose Blood Surge Build As Your Endgame Build

Necromancer’s abilities in Season 7 still allow you to destroy groups of enemies easily and single-target bosses to obtain Diablo 4 Gold or other more precious loot drops. And if you can combine these class skills with the new witchcraft powers brought by the current season, your available builds will be even stronger.

Necromancer summons have a lot of built-in support. They can act like tanks to reduce the damage done by enemies to you, while dealing damage to eliminate enemies, or focusing on a single boss with you. On this basis, if you want to better deal with the endgame content of Season 7, it is recommended that you give priority to Blood Surge Build.

What Skills Are Needed To Blood Surge Build?

The key to whether builds work lies in the specific role of the skills you choose for it, and whether these skills can have a good synergy relationship. For Blood Surge Build, it is recommended that you consider the skill matching problem from the following aspects.

Basic Skills

Reap as a basic ability not only allows you to deal some close-range area damage to enemies through Blood Surge Build, but also when the enemy is hit, you will gain a damage reduction buff yourself, while further restoring your lost essence. Although Reap is not the main damage output force in this build, a variety of practical functions can make it better to serve other skills.

Core Skills

As the name of the build represents, Blood Surge is the core and highlight of this build. This skill double attacks the enemy by consuming essence, specifically first it deals damage by drawing blood from the enemy, then you can cast blood nova by using the blood to deal second wave of damage.

It is worth noting that the amount of damage dealt by nova increases with the amount of blood you draw from the enemy, so the more enemies surround you, the stronger you can use this ability to become.

Another core skill worth having is Blight, which deals burst of damage after being released, and then immediately brings a new round of damage. The second round of damage comes as a filthy area on the ground that continues to deal damage.

Defensive Skills

The class characteristics of Necromancer will cause you to be surrounded by enemies most of the time. Although your damage output is not weak, in order to be safe, it is recommended that you equip the appropriate defensive skills to prevent getting into trouble. Based on this, Blood Mist is a good defensive choice, which will give you a few seconds of immunity, during which you can not only deal damage to enemies regularly but also heal your maximum health at a fixed percentage.

Ultimate Skills

The best ultimate skill for Blood Surge Build is undoubtedly Soulrift. It damages nearby enemies for a short period and allows you to absorb souls through Soulrift while you have Essence, gaining a temporary barrier.

AOE Options

If you want to give your Blood Surge Build more AOE options, you’d better use Corpse Tendrils. This skill can pull enemies to the corpse you used to cast skills, stun them and deal damage. Corpse Tendrils work well with the overall build because it can move enemies to other locations, allowing you to use equipment to eliminate them, and you can also use it to gain a little defense. It is worth mentioning that it works well with Blight, one of the core skills.

What To Pair With Gear?

If you plan to use Blood Surge Build in Diablo 4 Season 7 endgame, Indira’s Memory and Cruor’s Embrace are definitely two pieces of gear that you can’t miss, as they both have effects that help improve Blood Surge and general blood ability. Without them, you’ll need to look for other gear that meets your specific needs or provides Blood Surge bonuses.

As for other gear, you’re free to choose, according to your needs. For example, if you feel you want to improve your character’s durability, then gear with good armor effects, high resistances, and maximum health will be better, but if you want to output more damage, then you need to look for gear that provides attributes such as damage bonuses and resource management.

How To Choose Aspects?

The choice of aspects depends on what kind of additional supplements you want to get for your Blood Surge Build. For example, Aspect of Hardened Bones can provide you with additional durability by reducing damage, while Blood-bathed Aspect will give you a second nova when you use Blood Surge, but the final damage output will be reduced and there will be a delay before the nova goes out. It is recommended that you should get Blood-bathed Aspect first, and then consider other options.

The above is what we provide for you, what you should do when using Blood Surge Build in Diablo 4 Season 7 endgame, and the relevant precautions. Hopefully, you can use this content to become a powerful Necromancer in the new season!

It is very necessary to level up your character as quickly as possible when playing Diablo 4 Season 7, not only because a lot of seasonal content is only available to high-level characters, but in fact a higher level usually means that your combat power is mature enough to deal with those late-stage bosses that can drop more Diablo 4 Gold.

However, the main leveling strategies also vary for different Diablo 4 classes, because the skill effects and applicable gear/unique items are different between classes. Among them, Barbarian, a brutal warrior, can not only roam the battlefield while causing a lot of damage to the enemy, but also easily use a variety of powerful weapons, and even use the armory system to switch between different types of weapons according to the situation.

Therefore, if you want to level up quickly when playing this class, the most important thing is to choose a powerful build and find the right gear or aspects. Based on this, we will provide you with a Barbarian leveling guide for Season 7 from these perspectives.

Best Barbarian Build

To level up, you first need to have enough XP, which is usually earned by killing enemies in combat. So if you can find an optimal Barbarian build for yourself, your combat efficiency will increase significantly, and you will naturally be able to level up faster. To do this, you need to choose the best skills for your Barbarian build.

Basic Skills

For the basic skills, it is recommended that you choose Lunge Strike. Fury, not mana, is the power that provides Barbarian with skills in combat - mana is full at the beginning, but Fury is not, so you need to choose a basic skill that can accumulate Fury for your other skills, which is Lunge Strike. In fact, for Season 7, Lunge Strike is a key part of most good Barbarian builds, because it provides mobility and Fury generation, which is very suitable for endgame.

Overall, Lunge Strike is designed to be used at any level. You can use it to further close the gap between you when approaching the target, or use it to pounce on nearby enemies outside the effect area to avoid the opponent’s attack. In addition, this skill performs well in both offense and defense, and can also help you attach to Treasure Goblins.

Core Skills

The first important core skill is Upheaval, which can damage enemies in a cone in front of you by consuming Fury. To activate it frequently, all you have to do is use your equipment and passive skills to generate as many Furies as possible, so that you can even have a chance to become an AOE powerhouse who survives to the end.

Then you may want to ask how to generate Fury? This leads to the second core skill introduced to you, Shouts. For this skill, you should unlock Rallying Cry and War Cry. The former can increase your movement speed and Fury generation rate, and the latter will increase your damage output.

The ideal way to cooperate between them is to use War Cry to fight elites and bosses when you have prepared many Furies through Rallying Cry. And the cooldown time for Shouts skills is not too long, so you can usually use them multiple times in a big battle.

Additionally, it’s recommended that you unlock Challenging Shout to round out Shouts if you can. While it’s not required, it has the added benefit of reducing the damage you take while the skill is active - although it also draws enemies towards you.

Ultimate Skills

Wrath of the Berserker is the ultimate skill that works best with a Barbarian build. When you use it, you gain increased damage and movement speed from Berserking, and gain Unstoppable, which removes and prevents you from being affected by debuffs that limit your movement.

Afterwards, you can further improve your abilities and passives and add them to your Barbarian build. For example, you can choose Pit Fighter to increase your durability, or Swiftness to increase your movement speed.

Best Gear

The best weapon type for a Barbarian is undoubtedly a two-handed weapon, which allows you to deal the most damage to enemies when using builds. As for other gear, it is recommended that you focus on looking for types that increase Fury generation, maximum health, movement speed, and Upheaval damage, such as Hellhammer for Upheaval buffs, Banished Lord’s Talisman for Overpower buffs, and Tuskhelm of Joritz the Mighty for Berserking buffs.

Best Aspects

While the choice of aspects is relatively free, if you want to maximize your best Upheaval Barbarian build, Bold Chieftain’s Aspect is better because it helps you use Shouts more often. Another aspect you need is Aspect of Sundered Ground, which guarantees that your next Upheaval will suppress the enemy within a 20-second cooldown.

Other Choices

If you want to get a temporary boost in combat, Elixir of Advantage, which can increase your attack speed, is worth considering. Don’t forget the role of gems, such as you can use emeralds in your weapons for critical hits, rubies in your armor for strength, and enhance your armor defense by choosing skulls in jewelry.

Once you have completed your Barbarian build through the above, and matched it with the best gear or aspects, I believe you can complete your Barbarian upgrade faster in Season 7, and successfully defeat more enemies! Wish you good luck!

In Season of Witchcraft, Sorcerer class has become another powerful choice for players to explore the end-game content with the help of multiple official enhancements. Lightning Spear Sorcerer stands out with its high lightning damage and efficient clearing ability, making it an excellent choice for players to farm maps, clear high-level nightmare dungeons and The Pit in the endgame.

Skills

The core idea of Lightning Spear Sorcerer is to trigger Lightning Spear at a high frequency to form continuous damage covering the entire screen. Its burst potential comes from two key mechanisms:

• Aspect of Splintering Energy: Lightning Spear’s critical hit will release additional arcs, causing huge damage based on the critical damage bonus to the target and 5 surrounding enemies. With the bonus of dual-wielding staves, this effect can provide nearly huge damage increases.
• Unstable Currents: After it is turned on, the attack speed is greatly increased, and there is a chance to summon a Lightning Spear with each hit. With the high Cooldown Reduction affix, you can summon Lightning Spear at a high frequency, causing high damage to the enemy.

Skill Configuration

• Core output: Lightning Spear + Charged Bolts + Frozen Orb (triggering random Conjuration).
• Defense skills: Ice Armor (damage reduction + mana recovery), Flame Shield (emergency escape).
• Support skills: Ice Blades (reduced cooldown + triggered vulnerability). You can also enchant Teleport (enchantment slot automatically casts) and then achieve the effect of Telestomp with Raiment of the Infinite.
• Ultimate skill: Unstable Currents

Lightning Spear Sorcerer has high damage but low defense, so players need to pay attention to their health at all times. As long as you practice a little, you can quickly find the fixed order of Lightning Spear Sorcerer skill release. Since Lightning Spear Sorcerer is very good at dealing large-scale damage, it is one of the best choices for farming Diablo 4 Gold and clearing nightmare dungeons, both in the early and endgame stages.

Witchcraft Powers

In addition, the season-exclusive Witchcraft Powers further strengthen the strength of the genre. Here are some recommended Witchcraft Powers for you:

• Piranhado (Lost Power): It can gather enemies into a pile to maximize the chain effect of lightning.
• Aura of Siphoning (Growth and Decay Power): provides critical treatment in continuous output to make up for the survival shortcomings of Sorcerer.
• Aura Specialization (Lost Power): increases the scale of the aura and increases the damage of Critical Strike.
• Soul Harvest (Growth and Decay Power): provides you with attribute amplification.
• Hex of Shattering (Psyche Power): applies a debuff to the enemy, reduces their damage, and ensures your own survival.
• Hex of Whispers: (Growth and Decay Power): causes additional shadow damage to the enemy, and periodically contacts the control you are under.

Essential Equipment

• Fractured Winterglass: When a Frozen Orb explodes, there is a certain probability of performing a random Conjuration, and a lucky hit triggers an additional Frozen Orb, forming a virtuous cycle of control and damage.
• Tal Rasha’s Iridescent Loop: Superimposes ice, fire, and lightning damage, providing up to 75% independent damage increase, which is the core multiplication area for late-stage output.
• Raiment of the Infinite: After enabling Teleport, you can pull monsters to your side and trigger stun, a perfect AOE skill.

Lightning Spear Sorcerer still relies more on Diablo 4 items. You can go to nightmare dungeons to explore or fight bosses, and you can get equipment and gold, materials and other items through these methods.

Affix Priority

• Attack: Critical Chance (at least 100%), Critical Damage, Cooldown Reduction, Attack Speed.
• Defense: Barrier Generation, Armor (upper limit 1000), Elemental Resistance (Prioritize Electric Resistance and Poison Resistance).
• Special Affixes: It is recommended to select Frost Augments — Frozen on the weapon to increase the frequency of random conjuration.

How To Make Lightning Spear Sorcerer More Powerful?

Players can force Lightning Spear to target specific targets by quickly fine-tuning the mouse pointing, increasing single-target damage by 50%.

Drink Elixir of Precision and Elixir of Resource at the beginning to maximize the critical strike and mana recovery efficiency respectively and then switch to Elixir of Fortitude to deal with high-pressure scenarios.

Mercenaries can protect the safety of Lightning Spear Sorcerer. It is recommended that you use gold to hire Varyana and Raheir. The former provides area damage, and the latter casts a shield when the player is seriously injured, greatly improving the fault tolerance rate.

Advantages And Disadvantages

Advantages

• Clearing efficiency: The combination of Lightning Spear and the monster gathering skill can instantly evaporate the enemies on the entire screen, making it the first choice for quickly clearing nightmare dungeons and Helltides.
• Mobility: Enchanted teleportation and high movement speed affixes allow Sorcerer to shuttle through the battlefield like lightning.
• Survivability: The dual protection of Ice Armor and Aura of Siphoning, with a significant risk of sudden death.

Disadvantages

• Single: When facing bosses and high-level elite monsters in The Pit, you need to rely on operations to make up for the lack of burst.
• Equipment: You need to collect key unique equipment such as Fractured Winterglass and Tal Rasha’s Iridescent Loop, and the equipment requirements are relatively high.

Best Useful Scenarios

• Quickly clear low-level nightmare dungeons (below T50)
• Harvest Helltides events
• Quickly clear seasonal theme events Headhunts

Lightning Spear Sorcerer has received some adjustments and enhancements in Season 7:

• Witchcraft: Fixed the abnormal mechanism of Purging Touch and strengthened the enemy search logic of “Piranhado” to make monster gathering more stable.
• New Runes: Tam+Gar combination, providing a permanent 25% critical strike chance, further reducing the pressure of equipment matching.

As players develop Occult Gems in depth, more variants may appear in the future. For example, with Friend of the Bog Occult Gem, the damage of the summon can be increased to a new threshold, and even the challenge of The Pit can be tried.

Lightning Spear Sorcerer is not only an efficient endgame build but also brings sensory stimulation to players. Whether it is a novice in the early farming Gold, or veterans delving into extreme output, this genre can provide a unique combat experience. As the season progresses, its potential is still being tapped.
