Chain Lightning has been buffed greatly in 1.1.1 and it opens up a good number of ways to play it.
I made this Chain Lightning core build through the popular Frost Nova that I find most comfortable to play. It requires less brain power to run than the Thor Conjuration build. But it instantly deletes Elites 30 levels higher before they can even react.
This build can stagger boss super fast and nuke bosses in 30s that are 30 levels higher. It auto aims and wipes enemies 360 degrees around you, too. Finally, it has Infinite Mana and 0 Ultimate Cooldown.
If you are using the Thor Conjuration build, it only needs minimal gear and skill changes, as a lot of the synergies are shared. You can save a lot of Diablo 4 Gold by doing this.
I will cover the skill tree, gears and the Paragon Board one by one in this guide.
First, a short recap for achieving Infinite Mana.
The Recharging Aspect in 1.1.1 makes it recover Mana whenever the Chain Lightning bounces, instead of just bounces off you. With the Aspect of The Unbroken Tether that makes Chain Lightning bounce more, it is even easier to cast infinite Chain Lightnings.
From my testing, with the lowest 1.5 Recharging, the Unbroken Tether, 25% Crit Chance and 7% Mana Cost Reduction, I have no trouble throwing unlimited Chain Lightnings, as long as I run around to collect the Crackling Energy, which recovers 12 Mana.
So, don’t forget to move around to get Infinite Mana through this finger muscle work out.
The skill tree is very similar to the Thor Conjuration build. If you are using it, just move points from Hydra to Frost Nova and Hoarfrost and you are good to go, and skip to the next section.
For the full skill tree walkthrough, first, no basic skill is used. So, put 2 points in whatever basic skill you like.
Then, put 5 Ranks to Chain Lightning as it is the Main DPS skill.
And make sure to use the Destructive Chain Lightning, don’t use the Greater Chain Lightning. I will lay out the reasoning in the next section.
And put skill points to Teleport and Frost Nova and get Vulnerable for Frost Nova. One point to Elemental Attunement is enough.
Then, pick Precision Magic for 15% Lucky Hit Chance, Ice Blades for further Vulnerable State and Cooldown Reductions, and Ice Blades Enchantment to synergize with all Cooldown Skills. This is just like instant 4 Ice Blades at the beginning of a Boss Fight For 100% Vulnerable uptime and 0 Cooldown Ultimate.
And then, pick Lightning Spear for Stable Stun and Conjuration Mastery for a 42% Global Damage Boost as we have on average 7 concurrent conjurations when the Ultimate is active.
Then, we pick Mana Shield for an extra 21% Damage Reduction and Protection for 100% Barrier Uptime.
Next, put 2 Ranks to Ball Lightning as it is the main AOE DPS. We use it in the Enchantment only since this build focuses on Crit Chance. A single Teleport can sometimes trigger 3 static Ball Lightnings for insane AOE damage. It also generates Crackling Energy for Infinite Mana.
And, we pick Static Discharge for further Crackling Energy and Invigorating Conduit to enable all Crackling Energy to generate 12 Mana (which is the main source for Infinite Mana.
Next, we put 3 points into Hoarfrost for an 18% damage boost to Frozen enemies since we run Frost Nova and 9% damage boost to Chilled enemy since we run Ice Blades (Correction Ice Blades doesn't chill).
Finally, we add points to the Ultimate, Unstable Currents and Coursing Currents for more Crit Chance. What's more, we pick Electrocution for another 15% Damage Reduction and Overflowing Energy to enable Crackling Energy to reduce Skill Cooldowns.
I tested using the Greater Chain Lightning in this build, but the Mana is not sustainable. Because I have the lowest value Recharging Aspect and basically no Mana Cost reduction.
After comparing the pros and cons, I end up choosing the Destructive Chain Lightning for 2 main reasons:
One, I don’t need Mana related stats on gears and I don’t need to run another Mana Aspect, like the Prodigy on top of the Recharging. This means that I can use this build on day 1, and can use full damage stats and aspects on gears for more overall damage.
Two, and more importantly, I lose more than 80% Crackling Energies if I choose the Greater Chain Lightning. Without the Crackling Energies, I lose a lot of Cooldown Reductions, that I cannot continuously Teleport to engage or disengage and I cannot cast the Ultimate freely to largely boost my damage.
So, I recommend picking the Destructive Chain Lightning over the Greater Chain Lightning 2 Gear Versions.
For gears, I made two versions: one is the All-Rounder version, and the other is the Full DPS version.
In the All-Rounder version, I put Chain of Disobedience at the Amulet for an extra 27% damage reduction and use the Esu’s Heirloom for a 10% flat crit chance boost and 30+% crit chance boost after using evade. It will be more balanced between damage and tankiness, so that it will be a smoother experience leveling up.
In the Full DPS version, I put the Choker of the Unbroken Tether at the Amulet and have one more offensive aspect, the Control aspect, for another 35% damage boost. It will have higher damage numbers, but the survivability can be an issue after level 65 if you don’t have good gears.
Both versions use the Barber heart as it is the most important damage amplifier in the build. From my calculation, it at least doubles my farming speed.
Good news is that a hotfix has been deployed that greatly increases the Wrathful Invoker drop chance. I got 7 Diablo 4 Items of this type after running a few Tier-64 Nightmare Dungeons.
So, don’t wait on a perfect Amulet or Ring before committing your Barber heart. Use it on a decent one to double your farm speed first and you may find another Barber heart before you find a better Amulet or Ring.
Many people are also curious about what seconds is best for the Barber heart. From my research, the sweet spot is 3+ seconds.
I will then quickly scan through each piece of gear and put the Stat Priority on the left side. The higher the stat is on the list, the higher the priority it is.
One important note is that I replaced the Control Aspect with the Storm Well Aspect in this build because Frost Nova makes all enemies Vulnerable Instantly. So, it has 100% uptime for normal monsters, Unstoppable monsters, and bosses while the Control Aspect only has uptime for Stunned or Frozen monsters and Staggered Bosses.
For the Paragon Board, I created one board designed for level 70 with non-level 15 Glyphs; one for level 85 with some level 15 Glyphs; and one for level 100 with all level 21 Glyphs. Use them according to your current status.
The glyph upgrading order will be Destruction, Exploit, Control, Elementalist, Tactician and Enchanter. Upgrade them one by one to level 15 first and then upgrade them to level 21, following the same order.
This build is pretty flexible in terms of Combat Style, where you can fight enemies both Melee and Ranged. On top of that, I have 2 tips that may help you further enjoy the build.
First, cast the two conjurations, Teleport then evade right after Teleport, use Frost Nova and spam Chain Lightning. At the point of using Frost Nova, all enemies are stunned that they take the damage to Stunned Enemies bonus and frozen that they take another 18% more Damage from Hoarfrost. And since we used evade, Esu’s Heirloom gets us another 30+% Crit Chance in this window. And all conjurations and Chain Lightning benefit from this burst moment that Elites are instantly wiped.
Second, there will be many static Ball Lightnings on the ground. You can teleport to pull enemies into them, triggering massive damage Ending.
I like this build because everything is direct: the instant Crowd Control from Raiment Teleport and Frost Nova, the direct damage from Chain Lightning and Ball Lightning and every enemy is wiped with ease.
Since the news that Season 7 was extended and Season 8 was postponed, most Diablo 4 players have become more excited about Season 8. Although you have to wait more than a month to enter Season 8, the good news is that you will be able to experience Season 8 PTR first in a few days!
Setting up a PTR for a new season is a common practice for Diablo 4. This allows players who experience it to find some deficiencies through early testing, so that they can make improvements before the new season goes online. On the other hand, it can also raise your expectations for the next season through positive feedback from these players.
As for Season 8, although the PTR has not yet been officially launched, there is already a lot of surprising news about the PTR and the season itself. Based on this, we will introduce it to you.
The developer released a new “What You Need to Know” article on March 7, bringing you a preview of Season 8 PTR. According to the PTR content shown in the article, this 2.2.0 PTR will officially start on March 11 and last for a whole week until March 18. During this period, you will be able to test the new content of the future Season 8 through the PTR in depth, and you will encounter the return of Belial.
In addition to these new content or bosses, the most important change in the eighth episode shown by the PTR is that the endgame will become more difficult. Although this may make your Diablo 4 Gold farming journey more challenging, it will also exercise your game level. In fact, the current Season of Witchcraft, as well as the sixth or fifth seasons that have ended, were once considered having dropped too much difficulty and ruined the game experience.
This boss first appeared in Diablo 3. As a disciple of Mephisto, he showed great destructive power and dark power. He is a boss that you need to be alert to deal with. In the future Diablo 4 Season 8, Belial will return as the most difficult lair boss in the game so far, showing you the difficulty changes of Season 8 from his perspective.
In order to push the endgame difficulty to a new height, Diablo 4 Season 8 will implement a new lair boss ladder through Belial, and it is even said that this battle is more challenging than Duriel or Andariel boss battles you are familiar with in the past. Perhaps in 2.2.0 PTR, you will experience Belial’s ambush on you and the chaos he creates.
In fact, in addition to Belial’s return, various special boss powers will also be introduced through Season 8, which means that in the future you will be able to use their powers to further strengthen your Diablo 4 builds by defeating various bosses, whether these bosses are world, event or endgame (now called lair) bosses.
According to the information revealed by the current 2.2.0 PTR, it is expected that 24 Diablo 4 bosses can provide these powers, including Lilith. It can be imagined that in the future, these new powers originally from hostile forces will inevitably set off an unprecedented Diablo 4 innovation in Season 8, thus completely changing the rules of the game.
According to statistics, Diablo 4 developers have found that since Season 6, the number of players who can quickly enter the endgame and reach the speed of Torment 4 has doubled, and in Season 7, 50% of players have even reached a higher level.
Although this means that more and more people are willing to play the game, if the endgame and higher-level difficult content of an ARPG become less challenging, it may cause players to lose interest in the future, which is not conducive to the long-term development of the game.
Based on this, the developers of Diablo 4 will first show you the difficulty of adjustment of the eighth season through 2.2.0 PTR, such as the reduction in the drop frequency of legendary items, the increase in the difficulty level of Torment, and the changes in the combat mechanism related to the final boss, so that you can get real training in the next season.
In the latest “What You Need to Know” article, the developers showed you the main content of 2.2.0 PTR, many of which are very important mechanism changes and are closely related to your game experience. Based on this, we will introduce you to some of the main contents.
As we have already introduced, the power of 24 bosses may be used by you. Specifically, each boss can provide you with 2 kinds of power, and you can get the corresponding power after killing the target boss. These two powers include primary effects and modifiers. You can activate up to 1 primary power and 3 modifier powers at a time.
The primary power will become the main component of your future builds, while the modifier power is used to enhance the primary power of your equipment to bring it to a new level. Therefore, it is recommended that you learn how to combine primary power and modifier power in the PTR effectively to find the best combination for you to enter Season 8.
This may be the seasonal event of Season 8. The returning Belial brought his minions into Sanctuary. You need to work hard to eliminate them in order to ensure the safety of Sanctuary and obtain gold and other event rewards. In fact, completing this event should also help you obtain boss power.
The above is the new content related to Season 8 that we can provide you with at present. Please prepare for the upcoming PTR!
Although it has been almost two years since the release of the first season of Diablo 4, and during this period, strong competitors such as POE series have appeared in the game market, this cannot reduce your curiosity and enthusiasm for Diablo 4, a game from the classic ARPG series.
In fact, one of the main reasons why Diablo has always maintained a good reputation among the player community from the beginning to the latest Diablo 4 Season 7 is that it can keep up with the times, especially Diablo 4, which is not only a season setting that always brings you surprise, but in fact it even launched its first DLC in October last year, which was also well received.
Of course, playability is certainly an advantage, but another reason Diablo 4 is worth trying is that the game benefits it provides you are really good - let us ignore the problem of too low drop rate of some seasonal items for the time being, and focus on the rich content of battle passes, especially those exquisite cosmetics.
In order to motivate old players to actively participate in the new season and attract new players to try it, Diablo 4 will set up a free battle pass and a premium battle pass at the beginning of each season. Their reward tracks are basically the same, but the premium reward content will be richer: Besides more Diablo 4 Gold, mounts and other items, it even includes all free battle pass rewards.
However, the premium level rewards do not provide any content that increases your character’s ability, they focus on appearance, improving your gaming experience from another perspective by providing cosmetics or some premium currencies. What free battle pass and premium battle pass have in common is that make your character upgrade faster and more smoothly at the beginning of the new season.
Most battle pass reward content will find ways to reflect the current season theme, helping you upgrade while allowing you to more intuitively feel your participation and completion in this season, encouraging you to stick to the end - it is estimated that it takes 75 hours of game time to complete each battle pass. If the reward is not attractive enough, you may find it difficult to stick to it.
It should be noted that there is actually a third level, accelerated battle pass, which allows you to skip the first 20 levels of the premium pass. In addition, all your Diablo 4 battle pass progress is shared between platforms and will not be restricted by device or platform.
In order to give you a more intuitive understanding of the superiority of the battle pass, we have listed all the current Season 7 battle pass rewards for you:
Free Battle Pass Rewards
Premium Battle Pass Rewards
Accelerated Battle Pass Rewards
From the first season to now, Diablo 4’s seasonal battle pass mechanism has been running normally without any major adjustments. Although it is not obvious what is wrong with this, Rod Fergusson, one of the responsible persons, said not long ago that this mechanism is actually a bit “outdated”.
As you know, one key to the success of a game is whether it can retain players, and Fergusson believes that in order for Diablo 4 to do this, it is necessary to innovate the game mechanism in a timely manner, give players more autonomy, and ensure that you can always explore Diablo 4 with great freedom.
As for how to make the future battle pass mechanism do this, Fergusson said that he thinks the similar system in Call of Duty MW2 is very good. Although the system does not be adopted by the latest game in the series, which is Black Ops 6. This system of Call of Duty allows you to prioritize the rewards you want most according to your needs, instead of only being able to receive rewards in order like the current Diablo 4 battle pass. Maybe we will see such a battle pass in Diablo 4 Season 8 in the future.
As the most attractive part of Diablo 4 premium battle passes, if various accessories or skins can become more gorgeous, it will inevitably increase your impulse to unlock premium battle pass.
In this regard, Fergusson believes that the appearance provided by Diablo 4 battle passes in the past is somewhat too plain. It’s not that plainness is bad, but as you can see in the game, Diablo 4’s art style has a strong Gothic color. If your character can wear exquisite clothes that match this style, it will definitely enhance your gaming experience.
Or there is another possibility, in Season 7 and later games, the frequency of crossover events will be increased, and the character images of other works will be rewarded to you as new skins, just like the recent TMNT event in Call of Duty BO6. At least, the previous cooperation between Diablo 4 and World of WarCraft proved that D4 can do crossover events well.
Although Fergusson and other Diablo 4 leaders have not confirmed whether there will be initial changes to the battle pass and the appearances available to characters in Season 8, at least from their attitude, it all seems to be on the way, and Diablo 4 will definitely get better in the future.
In order to fully mobilize your enthusiasm for the game, Diablo 4 will regularly launch some events with generous rewards to attract you to participate. Sometimes these events will even appear in Diablo 4 as a way to celebrate and embellish various real festivals, such as the winter event Slay Ride To Hell held in Season 6 last year to warm up for Christmas.
The main event content of Slay Ride To Hell is to require you and the players of the entire game community to work hard to hunt goblins in your respective games, and then distribute rewards to each player based on the hunting performance of the entire community. Perhaps because the event brought a lot of popularity to Diablo 4 at the end of 2024, Diablo 4 decided to hold a similar event called March of the Goblins again in the recent Season 7.
Compared with Slay Ride To Hell and all the goblin-themed events held by Diablo 4 in the past, the mechanism of March of the Goblins has changed. So ensuring you get the most rewards within the time limit, here are the best ways to farm the event rewards.
March of the Goblins takes place from March 4 to 11, 2025. It’s worth noting that while the event is limited-time, the six goblins available for hunting will remain in Diablo 4 permanently, and you can always fight them to earn Diablo 4 Gold or other prizes, but they will appear more often during the event.
The six goblins have different rarity, so the rewards they drop for you vary. The hardest and most valuable reward from the mythical purple Fancy Old Fedric, which not only gives you a Mythic Unique item but also a Resplendent Spark that can be used to craft another item!
In addition, if you plan to wait for other players to work hard to advance the event and bring you rewards, as you did in Slay Ride To Hell, you’re making a big mistake. The reward settlement track for this March of the Goblins is no longer universal for the entire community, but is purely a personal progress settlement. If you want to get the rewards you like, you must rely on your own efforts. The higher your event reputation, the more loot you will have by killing goblins.
If you have not participated in Slay Ride To Hell in Season 6, or even if you are a complete Diablo 4 novice and have no idea about goblin-related events, don’t worry, we will provide you with the most comprehensive help.
First of all, to start this goblin event officially, after logging into the game, let your character go to Kyovashad and look for Altar of the Goblin statue - it is in front of Idania’s Rings & Amulets shop and will be marked on the mini-map with a white badge icon.
By hovering your mouse over the statue, you will be informed of the level of goblins that can be tracked and what rewards you can get after killing different goblins. After that, you can start your goblin hunting journey in all areas within the game map! It is worth noting that if you reach goblin Level 10 during the event, you will receive a goblin chest in addition to the dropped rewards, which contain rare prizes such as Resplendent Spark and runes.
Given that the event is limited in time and goblins don’t appear easily, if you want to make the most of farming for the items you need for this event, it is best to try to go to areas where Goblins have a higher probability of appearing, such as Nahantu area.
Once here, you will find that the western areas are most densely goblins distributed here, and Chakhir stronghold at Torment 1 difficulty can even spawn five to seven goblins at a time. As you can imagine, if you farm goblins in this stronghold at the higher Torment difficulty, there will be more goblins.
In fact, in addition to increasing Torment difficulty level, there should be more goblins when there are active Headhunt zones or Helltides in Nahantu. These special events with timers always provide you with excellent opportunities for farm items, including goblins.
In addition to Nahantu, the northwest area of Ked Baru is also a good place to farm. When you come to the beach here, you can even find at least three to five goblins picking up scattered gold coins. At this time, you can attack them by surprise! However, it is recommended that you hunt when the small goblin icons appear in a large number on the mini-map, because when goblins appear scattered among other enemies, the farming efficiency is relatively low.
After trying all the above methods, you can continue to generate shrines in dungeons such as Fractured Peaks and Sarat’s Lair, because these shrines are likely to attract treasure goblins to gather. However, the tricky thing is that this method requires a lot of backtracking, so it is best to use it as your last choice for goblin farming.
Finally, I would like to remind you that: first, the 6 new goblins introduced by March of the Goblins are all randomly generated, and it is not possible to farm specifically for one of them; second, in order to ensure that other players will not steal the fruits of your labor while hunting goblins, please disable PVP mode and cross-platform games before starting the event.
The above is the guide we provide you to playing March of the Goblins. Before the event starts, log in to the game and start your goblin hunting journey!
From the first season to the current seventh season, Diablo 4 has been focusing on its own updates while always listening to the opinions and voices of players, hoping to make Diablo 4 better and better through this “cooperation”.
Based on the current playability of the game and the overall feedback from players, you will find that Diablo 4’s efforts have not been in vain, and it does occupy a very high position among all ARPGs. But this does not mean that Diablo 4 is perfect, and it still needs to be upgraded in many aspects.
Among them, in addition to those that can be gradually adjusted with the change of seasons, there is actually a feature that has been called for by players for a long time but has not been added to the game so far, that is, loot filters.
When you explore and fight in Diablo 4 or other similar RPGs, as long as you win, you can get rich loot. In Diablo 4, the usual loot includes Diablo 4 Gold, gear and various props of different rarities, and seasonal items limited to the current season.
But as your level and the level of various dungeons or quests you can challenge increase, the loot you get after victory will increase. On the one hand, this will make your game screen full of these items very inconvenient, and on the other hand, it will make you feel dazzled and unable to pick up the most important loot in time. At this time, loot filters are particularly important.
The usual filter will mark the rarity of all loot for you, allowing you to classify them intuitively to decide which ones are necessary and which ones can be directly discarded. This not only saves time but also helps you better manage your inventory space.
Diablo 4’s original content was very rich, and with the update of seasons and the expansion of Eternal Realm, the game’s volume has become larger and larger, and the loot after battle has become more and more. If loot filters are not added early, the player’s gaming experience will probably start to decline from Season 7.
In addition, many games of the same type have this feature, such as Path of Exile 2, one of Diablo 4’s strongest competitors. The first part of this game has been often compared with D4, and the second part of the early access launched in the second half of last year has attracted many ARPG players-it also has a loot filter function.
So if Diablo 4 does not add this feature in time, it is likely to lose to POE 2 in the competition. But from another perspective, in fact, Diablo 4 can completely learn from the design ideas of POE 2’s loot filters.
Each loot filter in Path of Exile 2 has unique advantages, but their main purpose is to make it easier for you to find specific loot, for example, they will color-code items according to their rarity so that you can quickly sort a bunch of items.
This allows you to decide in a short time which items are worth picking up and which are not, and sometimes the filter will even add an audio prompt when a very unique item is dropped. There are currently 3 loot filters in POE 2, namely:
Not long ago, Diablo 4 released a Q&A video with game designer Aislyn Hall on YouTube, in which the question whether the game will add loot filters in the future was asked. Hall did not directly answer “yes” or “no”, but gave his own opinion.
In fact, Hall believes that if this feature is added, it is likely that you will give up poorer items more frequently in future games. Although this can improve your loot pickup efficiency, it will cause you to lose some low-level items that can be used for sale and recycling, which may not be conducive to your accumulation of gold. Hall’s considerations make sense, but given the strong demand for loot filters from Diablo 4 endgame players, loot filters may eventually be available in late Season 7 or Season 8.
Loot filters work only if you have the ability to get a lot of loot, otherwise this feature will be useless. Therefore, we will also provide you with some additional tips for loot farming in Diablo 4 Season 7, some of which are actually universal in all seasons.
Diablo 4 has many types of dungeons, such as regular nightmare dungeons or Season 7-exclusive Rootholds. These dungeons will set up a lot of challenges and enemies for you, and clearing them will drop a lot of loot.
Completing the main quest not only unlocks new plots for you but also allows you to get the loot by completing some minor battles during this period. Although the rewards from this method may not be as generous as other methods, the main quest is what you have to complete, so why not get some benefits through it?
Diablo 4 has a lot of bosses, some are regular, some only appear in the endgame or Torment difficulty, and you can fight them every season (except for the seasonal boss). But no matter which kind of boss, you will get a lot of loot from them, including unique items.
I hope the information we provide you can help you. Thank you for reading.
For a massive ARPG like Diablo 4, the smooth running is inseparable from the coordination of various mechanisms and systems in the game, because only when they are closely linked to each other can your character be able to upgrade and fight normally in the game. Therefore, you cannot ignore any of these mechanisms, and you should pay attention to its changes in time with the change of seasons, such as runes.
Runes are actually new features added in DLC, but they have quickly been well received by players. In Diablo 4, they can play their respective roles by being inserted into the slots of your weapons or armor, thereby further expanding your possibilities for creating builds and enriching your gaming experience. In order to ensure the availability of runes, Diablo 4 will regularly add new runes to the new season after the DLC, and the recent Season 7 is naturally the same.
You can actually think of runes in Diablo 4 as special items, and all slottable runes can be divided into Ritual runes and Invocation runes, which bring new modifiers that can affect all Diablo 4 classes in different ways. In addition, specific runes can be combined to form Runewords that provide additional effects, bringing you more unexpected combat bonuses.
Activating Invocation runes requires you to generate offerings for them, but sometimes you may generate too many, and then the overflow mechanism will come into play. This mechanism applies an additional bonus to the effect of the summoning rune, temporarily increasing the power of these runes for a short period to ensure that your excess offerings are not wasted.
Ritual runes and Invocation runes can be paired arbitrarily to provide you with greater flexibility in the use of runes. In addition, the power of runes will increase as the rarity increases, and the rarity levels from low to high are magic, rare and legendary. In fact, the rich levels also further expand the possibilities of rune pairing.
After unlocking the Runeword in the DLC campaign, you can get the loot by defeating bosses, farming Whispering chests or strongholds, etc. These loots include runes in addition to the common Diablo 4 Gold, but the best way to farm runes is Undercity activity.
As for the unlocking of Runeword, it can be done by completing the quest received from Ormus in the council hall of Kurast Undercity. In addition, you can also find tributes in Undercity and other activities to increase the rune rewards you get after completing the quest.
Creating a Runeword requires a Ritual rune and an Invocation rune, as well as a piece of equipment with two slots. Then, add the runes to the slots to create a Runeword successfully, thereby expanding the effects of the two runes. Available equipment usually includes helmets, chest armor, leg armor, and two-handed weapons.
Ritual runes will generate offerings for you when activated, with the number generated depending on the rune type and rarity. Once the required number of offerings is reached, Invocation runes will begin to take effect, and these effects are very diverse, ranging from single-target skills to area-of-effect skills, which can maximize the enhancement of your equipment.
When the rune system was first launched, there were 28 Invocation runes and 17 Ritual runes. With the arrival of Season 7, three new runes have been added to the game, namely Chac, Igni and Nagu. Chac is an Invocation rune, while Igni and Nagu are Ritual runes. The specific modifiers they provide are as follows:
As you can see from their use, Chac rune is great with any class that can generate offerings quickly, automatically casting Lightning Bolt whenever you reach the required threshold for this rune. If this rune is affected by the overflow mechanic, it can also cast more Lightning Bolt.
On this basis, Igni rune works perfectly with Chac rune, as long as you can stack a lot of offerings over time, and continue to cast Lightning Bolt while casting non-basic skills. This attack mode allows you to stack up to 500 offerings to fully utilize the overflow bonus to clear enemies.
Nagu is probably the best rune for summoning classes such as Druid and Necromancer, as they can always maintain the maximum number of summons required to generate the most offerings. In fact, you can also pair new runes with old ones to create some new and powerful Runewords, which may further enhance the strength of your usual build.
Of course, the premise for enjoying the benefits of Season 7’s new runes is that you must not only understand them but also understand how the entire Diablo 4 rune mechanism works. So we hope that this guide we provide can really help you, and I wish you a happy new season!
I believe you should have known that the game will add the armory in this season before Diablo 4 Season 7 is officially launched, and in fact it is true. Although this feature is not applicable to the entire Season 7 but only available within Eternal Realm, it means that you can enjoy this feature through Eternal Realm without being restricted by the season changes.
However, since the armory join Diablo 4 series is the first time, if you have not played other Diablo games, you may not know how to use this system, or ignore its role after entering Eternal Realm because you don’t know its importance-this is a pity! Therefore, we will introduce you to the method and necessity of using the armory in the current season.
As the first feature of Diablo 3, the armory is applicable to its PC and console versions starting from the game’s patch 2.5.0. After entering D3, you can find the armory near the storeroom in the center of the town in each scene.
In Diablo 3, the armory lets you save ten outfits or builds for each character, and you can update and upgrade them as needed. The builds can include equipped items, the type of gems in the slots, Kanai’s Cube powers, and selected skills, but remember to make sure all items are in your inventory or locker when equipping these saved sets.
The armory in Diablo Immortal still allows you to save up to 10 builds, and also remembers your Paragon selections, as well as other equipment, skills, and familiars. There is no cooldown when selecting these saved builds, and the UI provides checkboxes to meet your needs such as saving specific equipment to the configuration, or only saving legendary essences and gems, reforge layouts, and Paragon points.
In terms of how it works, the armory in D4S7 is not much different from that in Diablo 3 or Diablo Immortal, and still allows you to save and switch builds as needed. Saving a build takes everything on your current character, including your gear, skill tree, Paragon board, and glyphs, and creates a copy for you to access in any armory.
In Season 7’s Armory, however, you can now save up to five unique builds per character instead of the 10 you had in Diablo 3, but that should be enough for you to test out which builds work best with different items. This way you can determine what kind of gear and fights some builds might work best with based on how they perform - and if you don’t have the right kind of gear, you can always redeem it with Diablo 4 Gold before a fight begins.
In Season 7, the armory can be found in most endgame areas and major cities, and is marked on the map by a graphic that looks like an eye, usually next to a blacksmith. When you walk up to an armory, it will appear as a basket of weapons in the surrounding scene.
The armory waypoints for all major cities are:
Other locations where you can find the armory are Training Grounds and Tree of Whispers. If you enter Eternal Realm via the DLC Vessel of Hatred, you can also find the armory in Kurast Bazzar and Dark Citadel.
Once you have found the armory, click on the relevant option to interact with it to open the armory menu. You will see the builds to be selected or created on the left and your character on the right. To save a build, select a slot in the armory and click “Save” to save all your gear, skills, class mechanics, Paragon boards and glyphs on that slot. This will make this part of your gear a collection and will not be accidentally recycled later.
If you want to save multiple builds in your system, you will need to change the gear to the desired loadout and save the builds in different Armory slots. If you want to switch between different builds, select the equipment in the armory and click the “Load” button to complete the free change of builds to match everything in the loadout.
At least in Diablo 4 Season 7, the update of the armory is actually a quality of life type update designed to make your Diablo 4 combat experience better. Sometimes you may want to test the different effects of multiple builds, or want to simplify equipment and skills to adapt to different scenarios. At this time, the appearance of the armory means that you no longer need to re-specify when you find new items for builds, just click the corresponding button to swap and adjust, which greatly saves your time and makes you more willing to study builds yourself.
First of all, the gems in the armory equipment include common gems and legendary gems, and when you save equipment through the armory, only the gem type will be saved, not the specific gems, that is, when you add new gems to the armory, the highest level gems of the gem type you have will always be used, instead of being specifically specified by you.
Because of this, you can actually use the armory to take a higher-level gem from the storage room of a second character’s armory equipment with one character, even if it’s not the gem originally saved in the corresponding armory. But if the original gem is not put back in the storage room, this may cause your second character to lose the gem until the first character manually resolves it, because the armory itself does not automatically perform related operations.
In addition, you can name and give icons to each of your character’s builds or equipment combinations saved through the armory to facilitate a more intuitive reference when selecting and switching, and each combination has a preview to show you things, like clothing or skill selection (legendary gems may be difficult to see clearly). If an item in a previously saved build is not available, the preview will show you a warning, but it will not show the original item, so you need to judge and find it yourself to replace or upgrade the item in time.
The above is all about using the new features of the armory in Diablo 4 Season 7. I hope it can help you and wish you a good time.
