The decision between using Charge or HOTA in Diablo 4 Season 3 Barbarian builds often presents a dilemma. Many existing builds force you to focus solely on one ability, thereby missing out on the potential of the other. However, I'm here to introduce a groundbreaking solution: the hybrid Charge HOTA Barbarian build, which combines the strengths of both abilities.
This unique build empowers you to tackle all the challenges in the game, whether facing bosses or delving into dungeons, with unparalleled efficiency. By incorporating both Charge and HOTA, you maintain the devastating power of HOTA's massive hits while still benefiting from the agility and versatility of Charge.
What sets this build apart is its seamless integration into your existing skill tree, paragon board, and aspects. You won't need to make any adjustments when transitioning between different encounters. Furthermore, unlike many other builds, this one doesn't rely on rare Uber uniques or unique stones to excel.
One of the most satisfying aspects of this build is its ability to handle formidable foes like the Butcher or Malphas in nightmare dungeons or vaults without compromising the swift pace of a Charge-centric approach. For Barbarians this season, this build stands as the premier choice, offering unparalleled versatility and effectiveness.
Let's examine the gameplay mechanics of the build, dividing it into 2 distinct sections.
Firstly, let's discuss boss encounters, where achieving substantial damage output is crucial. Our primary skill in these situations is Hammer of the Ancients, amplified by significant overpower damage bonuses to deliver devastating blows. To ensure these hits, we rely on the Banished Lord's Talisman. By expending 300 Fury, our next HOTA strike becomes an overpower.
Furthermore, the Talisman grants a substantial 120% damage boost if the overpower results in a Critical Strike. To guarantee this critical hit, we combine it with another accessible unique item, the Ring of Red Furor. Spending 100 Fury within 3 seconds guarantees a critical strike on the subsequent HOTA cast. By investing 210 Fury before engaging a boss (a manageable task in most encounters, with the aid of the skill bar), we only need to execute three consecutive Hammer of the Ancients strikes, ensuring the third strike lands as a massive overpower critical hit.
Following the setup, we activate all cooldowns, including our shouts for bonus damage, and Wrath of the Berserker for additional berserking damage, before executing three Hammer of the Ancients strikes. With gear specialized for overpower damage, and a paragon board featuring glyphs like Dominate for substantial overpower damage boosts, combined with Diablo 4 Items like the Godslayer Crown and Tibault's Will, which provide additional damage bonuses, we can stack numerous damage buffs to achieve monumental hits, even surpassing the 200 million mark.
The alternate gameplay loop involves running dungeons or vaults, where Charge takes precedence in our rotation. We sporadically use Hammer of the Ancients between charges to dispatch enemies. Charge grants us Unstoppable, complemented by Tibault's Will, providing 50 Fury and a 40% damage bonus. Power Charge reduces the cooldown of Charge by 3 seconds for each enemy hit, up to a maximum of 9 seconds. This typically results in a short 3-second cooldown between Charge uses.
However, thanks to the Marshal glyph on our paragon board, we can chain three to four charges consecutively without delay. Additionally, using our shout skill reduces non-shout skill cooldowns by 4 seconds, allowing us to maintain a continuous Charge cycle. This synergy between skills and gear maximizes our damage output with Charge, facilitated by the same skill tree, paragon board, and gear setup. The only adjustment required when transitioning between content is swapping out Godslayer's Crown for Tuskhelm Of Joritz The Mighty, capitalizing on Charge's berserking effect to achieve multiple consecutive charges and benefit from its cooldown reduction.
The beauty of this setup lies in its consistency across various content, seamlessly integrating elements of both HOTA and Charge builds. Whether facing formidable bosses like Malphas or the Butcher in vault runs, we maintain our efficacy, ensuring swift and efficient elimination.
Let's delve deeper into the skill tree.
Begin by allocating 1 point into Lunging Strike and 1 point into Enhanced Lunging Strike. More than 2 points here are unnecessary, as they suffice to unlock the subsequent segment of the skill tree.
Following this, invest 5 points into Hammer of the Ancients, 1 point into Enhanced Hammer of the Ancients, and 1 point into Furious Hammer of the Ancients.
Proceed with 1 point each into Rallying Cry, Enhanced Rallying Cry, and Strategic Rallying Cry. The latter grants us benefits such as movement speed, resource generation, Unstoppable, and fortify.
Allocate 1 point into Challenging Shout for damage reduction against enemies and another point into Enhanced Challenging Shout.
Next, assign 3 points into Imposing Presence for increased life, 1 point into War Cry, and 1 point into Enhanced War Cry to trigger Berserking upon casting.
Additionally, add 1 point into Booming Voice and 3 points into Raid Leader, providing healing benefits to both allies and oneself, which significantly eases dungeon exploration.
Distribute 5 points into Charge, 1 point into Enhanced Charge, and 1 point into Power Charge.
Allocate 3 points into Aggressive Resistance to enable damage reduction, thereby enabling 2 points into Battle Fervor to attain Berserking upon Charge usage.
Proceed with 3 points into Pit Fighter, 1 point into Thick Skin to accommodate 3 points into Counteroffensive. Allot 1 point into Wrath of the Berserker, followed by distributing points among its modifiers.
The subsequent focus should be on 3 key passives, facilitating substantial damage output: 3 points into Heavy Handed for Critical Strike damage, 3 points into Wallop, and 3 points into Brute Force for increased overpower damage.
Lastly, the pivotal passive for this build is Unbridled Rage, chosen to enhance the impact of HOTA strikes.
Let's discuss our gear and aspects in more detail.
Starting with your helmet, the Godslayer Crown is ideal for boss encounters, granting a significant 60% increase in damage when engaging bosses. However, for dungeon runs, I highly recommend swapping to the Tuskhelm of Joritz. This alternative offers enhanced damage, increased Fury generation, and cooldown reduction, particularly beneficial during Charge sequences and Berserking phases. Additionally, this change provides added damage reduction through increased ranks of Aggressive Resistance.
For the chest piece, opt for the Juggernaut aspect, providing substantial armor. Since Charge offers excellent mobility, evade stats are unnecessary. Focus on acquiring stats such as damage reduction from nearby enemies, total armor, and maximum life, aiming to maximize total armor to reach the armor cap.
Choose Aspect of the Element for gloves, granting a significant 30% bonus to physical damage every 7 seconds, synergizing well with both Charge and HOTA. Prioritize stats such as Hammer of the Ancients damage, Critical Strike chance, overpower damage, and strength.
Tibault's Will is ideal for pants, offering Fury generation and a 40% damage increase upon ability usage, granting Unstoppable. This synergizes with Charge, Rallying Cry, and Wrath of the Berserker, providing additional Fury and damage.
For boots, consider the Ghostwalker aspect for enhanced movement speed while Unstoppable. Prioritize armor rolls with movement speed and three resistances to ensure adequate defense, aiming for around 60% resistance across all damage types.
Your amulet should feature a high roll on the Banished Lord's Talisman, targeting as close to 112% overpower damage as possible. The Ring of Red Furor guarantees Critical Strike chance, while the second ring with Aspect of Unrelenting Fury refunds Fury upon HOTA usage, enhancing efficiency.
Weapon selection is crucial. Your two-handed bludgeoning weapon, utilized during Charge sequences, benefits from the Wallop passive. Always equip a two-handed mace for HOTA. Prioritize overpower damage, damage while berserking, and strength, ensuring a balanced distribution of stats.
Consider the Aspect of Ancestral Force for HOTA damage on your two-handed mace and Aspect of Limitless Rage for increased damage on your two-handed axe. The Aspect of Ancestral Charge on one-handed weapons enhances Charge, summoning ancients to charge alongside you, while the Edgemasters aspect boosts damage at maximum Fury.
Use Rubies for maximum life bonus on armor and overpower damage bonus on weapons, except for the amulet and rings where resistance gems are preferred. Aim for the two-handed axe technique for increased damage against vulnerable enemies, synergizing with glyphs on the paragon board to ensure enemy vulnerability.
Let’s examine the paragon board briefly, providing a concise overview of the desired unlocks and their optimal order.
Commence by allocating the Marshal glyph to your first slot. This glyph holds paramount importance in facilitating the functionality of our build, thus prioritizing its swift acquisition is essential. Subsequently, introduce the Bone Breaker board, pivotal for delivering substantial blows via overpowering enemies. Leveraging this legendary node, we manifest overpower strikes every 12 seconds, underscoring the significance of accumulating overpower damage bonuses.
Proceed to unlock the Blood Rage legendary node, underscoring the centrality of damage while berserking in our build’s efficacy. This node effectively augments such damage by 25%, amplifying its potency. Disregard the bleed aspect; its omission does not hinder the advantageous effects of enhanced berserking damage. Integrate the Crusher glyph to bolster mace-induced damage and overpowering potential.
Transition to the Carnage board, embedding the Ire glyph to fortify damage while berserking and procure a 10% reduction in damage incurred during such states. Subsequently, deploy the Warbringer board, embedding the Exploit glyph to render adversaries vulnerable, thus capitalizing on our axe technique.
Return to acquire the Decimator board, embedding the Dominate glyph. This step underscores the importance of accessing every willpower node to amass a formidable reservoir of overpower damage. The culmination of these efforts yields overpower damage in excess of 400%, pivotal in achieving substantial numerical outputs. Conclude by securing the Hemorrhage board, integrating the Brawl glyph to amplify charge damage by 18%.
It is highly advisable to level from 50 to 100 in Nightmare Vault rather than regular dungeons or the overworld. This allows for simultaneous leveling of your stones.
Opt for Flash of Adrenaline with Tactical Support, Duration Support, and Initiative Support to maintain a consistent damage bonus. Utilize Tempest with Swift Support, Resource Support, and Safeguard Support to ensure rapid firing of your Tempest every 0.7 seconds, bolstering Fury generation and enhancing damage reduction.
Fury generation holds significant importance as it activates our Aspect of Limitless Rage, providing a substantial 60% damage boost. While unique stones can enhance the build, they are not indispensable.
Uber uniques further amplify the build’s effectiveness. Consider substituting the Harlequin Crest helmet for the other recommended options across all content. Replace our legendary ring with the updated Ring of Starless Skies, as it also reduces resource costs. Additionally, opt for the Grandfather sword instead of the two-handed axe in our slashing slots. However, integrating these changes could potentially escalate damage output to an excessive 400 to 500 million, surpassing practical requirements.
After entering Diablo 4, your Sanctuary battle journey officially begins! Whether you want to advance the main story first or want to clear the early dungeons to complete Diablo 4 gold accumulation, you can’t do without battles of all sizes.
Faced with this situation, in order for your character to complete the battle as quickly as possible while ensuring the health value, you not only need to increase the defense value, but also must do everything possible to improve your damage output ability, and eliminate the enemy by causing more damage at one time.
In fact, there are many ways to do this, but considering the differences between different Diablo 4 seasons, these methods also need to be adjusted regularly. Based on this, we will introduce you how to increase your damage by 100 times or more in Diablo 4 Season 8.
To find out the origin of a river, you must trace it back to the source along its flow path. If you want to know how to increase the damage of Diablo 4 characters, you must at least know where your damage comes from in the game.
There is no doubt that character skills are the most basic and important source of damage. In comparison, other methods are actually combinations or upgrades of various skills. When you create a new Diablo 4 Season 8 character, you can choose a class, and all the skills used in battle are exclusive to that class.
When you are familiar with all the skills and enter a deeper level of the game, you can follow the guide or explore craft class builds on your own, and combine items and gear to increase your damage output. In addition, mercenaries, summons or other class-specific mechanisms can also provide you with additional damage output.
There are currently 6 classes available in Season 8, each of which has its own strengths and can play a different role in battle. As a player, you must have the habit of playing ARPG or Diablo 4. Although new classes are more attractive, if you want to become a damage master as soon as possible in the new season, familiar classes will definitely be more suitable.
After mastering most of the practical skills, you should find that some skills can be used in a specific rotation order to hit the enemy without breathing time, which is more powerful than blindly casting high-damage skills. This is the prototype of builds.
After that, you can organize this rotation more systematically and match these items with your basic builds during the farming process, so that unique items or legendary aspects can become the icing on the cake and play their due value.
As we have already mentioned, precious Diablo 4 items can help you improve your builds, but these items are not always 100% dropped, and the more precious and effective they are, the harder they are to get.
For this reason, if your ability allows, it is best to farm game items at high levels of Torment difficulty. This will not only increase the chance of getting relevant drops, but also accumulate rich combat experience and learn how to increase the damage value in specific battles.
Glyphs are also called Paragon glyphs, their existence itself is to strengthen your character. When your character reaches the maximum level 60, it can no longer be strengthened through upgrading. At that time, besides the builds and items, glyphs are the most powerful booster.
Glyphs are usually found in various places when you explore, and then they are inserted into special slots on each Paragon panel. They will provide you with significant bonuses based on the number of active tiles within their radius.
It is worth noting that you can continue to upgrade glyphs. The higher the level, the larger the radius of effect, which will have a greater impact on more active tiles on Paragon board.
Since the launch of Vessel of Hatred DLC last year, the way glyphs are upgraded has changed from relying on experience to depending on your level of The Pit. The Pit is one of the endgame dungeons with 150 tiers, and each completed floor can get different rewards.
After completing Artificer’s Mastery, you will get three opportunities to upgrade the glyph level, and if you do not die during the challenge, you will also get an additional upgrade attempt.
It is worth noting that the chance of upgrading a glyph depends on the level of the glyph and the level of The Pit you have completed. For example, completing The Pit tier 10 higher than your glyph level will give you a guaranteed upgrade. And when you complete The Pit tier that is much higher than your current glyph level, each subsequent attempt will give you a bonus upgrade opportunity.
First of all, it is worth introducing the mercenary mechanism that debuted in DLC. This mechanism allows you to recruit two mercenaries and bring them into battle. One of them is the main one, and the other is a reinforcement, which will provide you with support in different combat situations.
There are currently 4 mercenaries in the game, namely Raheir, Varyana, Aldkin and Subo. They have different skills, suitable for different classes to carry, and they also have corresponding skill trees, which you can use to unlock and upgrade the mercenary skills.
In addition, all classes in Diablo 4 have their own unique mechanism to play combat effects in the most class-specific form. They are:
Most Diablo 4 seasons have Season Powers, which are not only a feature of the season, but also one of the best ways to deal more damage - at least they are very useful in the corresponding season. In Season 8, this power is boss power.
Boss powers can be obtained by killing 24 bosses in the season. After that, in a single battle, you can choose a main power and 3 modifier powers to equip, combining all the mechanics and content mentioned above to further increase your damage and become more powerful.
These are the main ways to maximize your damage output in Diablo 4 Season 8. I hope it can inspire you! Have fun!
It’s been almost a month since the launch of Diablo 4 Season 8. How far have you progressed in the game? According to the richness of this season, if you play almost every day during this period, then it shouldn’t be long before you encounter the ultimate boss Belial!
As the main villain of the entire Diablo series and one boss of Diablo 3, Belial’s return in D4 has caused discussion in the game community since the relevant news was released, which will also make you look forward to the duel with him even more.
Before Season 8, in order to unlock this difficult boss battle, you must collect the relevant summoning materials in advance to summon the boss. This season has reformed this mechanism, changing the summoning materials to lair keys that unlock the boss hoard after the battle.
In other words, without these keys, you will not be able to get Diablo 4 gold or exclusive unique items after the battle, even if you win! For Belial, his exclusive lair keys are Betrayer’s Husk. To ensure that your final boss battle is worthwhile, we will introduce you to the way to obtain this “key”.
In fact, you should have known before Season 8 was launched that the endgame boss was changed to lair boss in this season, and the summoning material was also changed to lair keys - this new Diablo 4 item can be used to open the boss hoard.
All lair bosses are divided into three levels: Initiate, Greater, and Exalted. Killing low-level bosses can obtain the hoard keys of high-level bosses, so that you can kill high-level bosses and take away their boss power while obtaining relevant loot. And Betrayer’s Husk is the keys of the final boss Belial in Season 8.
Since this lair key determines whether you can get the most important boss loot of this season, its drop channel is not single, but not all farming methods are equally efficient and reliable. Next, I will introduce them one by one.
As the only Exalted lair boss in the game, Belial’s lair key Betrayer’s Husk will not drop directly by defeating other Greater bosses, but will randomly refresh Belial’s Belial’s base form when you open the hoards of other bosses. You can only get Betrayer’s Husk by defeating him.
Or you can also have a chance to get this key by completing the exclusive event Apparition Incursion in Season 8. When you refresh the event on the map, enter it and start killing ordinary Apparition enemies to fill the relevant progress slots.
Once this progress bar is filled, you will encounter two random Apparition bosses in the current event. After defeating them, you can encounter Belial’s base form while harvesting the corresponding boss power, and then you can start Betrayer’s Husk farming.
It is worth noting that Betrayer’s Husk seems to only drop under Torment difficulty. Lair boss battles only appear in Torment difficulty, but Apparition Incursion can be experienced at any difficulty, so if you want to get Betrayer’s Husk through this event, make sure the difficulty setting is Torment 1 and above.
After entering Season 8, Tree of Whispers is still your main way to obtain key resources such as gold and XP, and the ultimate reward Whisper caches also have a chance to bring you the lair keys you need.
Once you enter the endgame and find Tree of Whispers, it will issue you a series of bounties that will earn you different amounts of Grim Favors. After every ten Grim Favors you accumulate, you can return to Tree of Whispers to redeem Whisper caches.
Opening these caches may earn you gear for your class, or even better legendary items, but in Season 8 you’ll also have a chance to get the rare lair key Betrayer’s Husk.
Although the chance of dropping Betrayer’s Husk is low, since completing Tree of Whispers is a task you should complete in all Diablo 4 seasons, it’s a good idea to give it a try without wasting your time.
This season, all the benefits are still with you! In addition to the new battle pass system updated as Reliquaries, season blessings and season journey will bring you relevant rewards at any time based on your game progress.
Season 8 journey includes multiple chapters, each with a different number of objectives for you to complete. Greater lair caches in the rewards after completion have a chance to bring Betrayer’s Husk or other lair boss keys, and the chance is slightly higher than Whisper caches.
After obtaining this item, please travel to Palace of the Deceiver dungeon, located in Kehjistan under any Torment difficulty, then find boss Belial and start the battle (this dungeon can only be unlocked by completing questline The Lord of Lies).
After winning the fight, consuming two Betrayer’s Husks will unlock Belial’s hoard, which will give you the chance to pick any other lair bosses’ loot, as well as a possible ancestral unique.
The above are all Betrayer’s Husks farm methods. Perhaps the game will add other playable content to help you get these lair keys before the end of Season 8. Let us look forward to it together!
No matter how many resources you have accumulated at the end of the previous Diablo 4 season, facing the new season that requires you to re-farm in all aspects, these remaining resources should not be enough for you to complete your new season character, and you must continue to work hard to get more Diablo 4 gold or XP.
Since its launch on April 29, you will find that Season 8 provides a lot of new loot, such as equippable boss powers and new unique items for different classes. Of course, this also means that you need to complete new battles to obtain them.
Because of the difficulty setting of the game content and the adjustment of the lair boss mechanism, farming in Season 8 is now more difficult, especially after unlocking and entering Torment difficulty. Based on this, we will introduce you to 7 related tips to improve your resource farming efficiency.
This event is a seasonal event in Season 8, as a reflection of the demon army of the ultimate boss Belial in specific gameplay. This event brings 10 Apparition bosses, and two of them will randomly spawn after you kill normal Apparition enemies in each event. After killing the boss, Belial’s secondary form will appear.
This event will last for the entire season and will refresh every 5 minutes, so you can repeatedly farm it to maximize the gold and XP it can pass. In addition, you will also gain corresponding boss powers after killing Apparition bosses, which will help shape your early game builds.
After gaining some basic boss powers through Apparition Incursions, you should be able to handle most of the early game content, so you can upgrade to level 50 by completing them, and then continue to upgrade to level 60 by completing Nahantu strongholds in DLC.
Follow this strategy to complete the upgrade, you will not only unlock Torment difficulty as soon as possible, but also smoothly deal with more endgame dungeons and events after that, to earn more precious items you need.
Helltides is a bit like a permanent version of Apparition Incursions, providing you with a lot of loot every season since its launch. You can start running this event as long as you unlock Torment difficulty. Completing it and defeating the main bosses such as Blood Maiden will earn you XP or items that can also gear up.
It is worth noting that running Helltides will also drop Infernal Horde Compasses for you. This item can be used to open Infernal Hordes, after which this event will spawn multiple waves of enemies. You just need to complete these waves and defeat Fell Council without exhausting all your resurrections to get the reward.
The first thing you need to know is that you can only enter Kurast Undercity and complete the related challenges if you have DLC Vessel of Hatred, but it has to be said that it is indeed one of the best ways for you to earn lair boss keys, gold, gear and XP in Season 8.
As a limited-time level, you need to farm and consume tribute to open Kurast Undercity challenge and get loot. Different types of tribute will also give you different loot after the battle, so you must choose carefully in order not to waste the opportunity to fight - fortunately, the value of these loot is very good.
This should be the most difficult Diablo 4 endgame dungeon, with 150 levels, and the difficulty and the quantity and quality of loot will increase layer by layer. And The Pit is extra special in that it is also the way for you to unlock the difficulty of Torment (complete 10 levels of The Pit to unlock Torment 1).
In fact, the most intuitive benefit of farming in The Pit is that you can get a lot of XP in a short time, so that your character can complete the upgrade as soon as possible. In addition, completing The Pit tasks within the specified time is also the only way to upgrade glyphs in the game and embed them into Paragon board.
Except for the early Apparition bosses, the truly valuable bosses in Season 8 are mainly lair bosses that you will encounter after entering the endgame. They can provide stronger boss power and better loot, and can start the battle without summoning materials.
It is worth noting that in order to open the corresponding hoard after the boss dies and take away the rewards, you need to obtain lair keys in advance. All lair bosses are divided into three levels. Killing low-level bosses can drop high-level keys. In addition, Tribute of Titans in Kurast Undercity can also be used for farming lair keys.
There is no doubt that as one of the best buff items in the game, Mythic Uniques can bring a qualitative leap to your character and quickly become powerful to cope with higher levels of Torment difficulty. But you must also work hard to get them.
In Diablo 4 Season 8, the main ways to obtain Mythic Uniques include defeating bosses and crafting. The higher the boss level, the greater the possibility of dropping. As for crafting, you need to have Resplendent Sparks as the main material.
There are two sources of Resplendent Sparks. The first is to get a direct drop by defeating Lilith at Torment 1-4 difficulty (although this is difficult); the second is to earn Spectral Ash by killing lair bosses to increase your seasonal reputation levels, then final reputation reward includes a Resplendent Spark.
If you can master the skills and builds of the character class, and fight hard on the above 7 occasions, I believe you will soon get enough game resources! Have fun!
Although there are many powerful builds available for each Diablo 4 class, some builds are more suitable if you want to challenge or farm specific tasks and dungeons. At least, The Pit, one of the most difficult dungeons, is not something that all builds can handle.
The Pit, full name of The Pit of Artificers, is a random dungeon with 150 floors. The higher the level, the more difficult it is. Of course, the more Diablo 4 Gold, gear, or other loot you will get. To complete a level of The Pit, you must kill as many monsters and bosses as possible within 15 minutes.
Based on this, we will take Rogue class as the protagonist this time to tell you how to craft Poison Trap Spam, a Rogue build, in order to handle the difficult content of The Pit.
Generally speaking, mastering the relevant class skills is the most important prerequisite for crafting any builds, because the builds cannot function without skills.
For Poison Trap Spam, first make sure to bring your Sturdy to provide damage reduction so that minimize the damage caused by enemies in The Pit. Next, equip Caltrops and upgrade them to Methodical Caltrops if possible. This type of skill can create a trap area, effectively chilling enemies in the area to slow down their movement speed.
Dance of Knives is the main Rogue skill for this build to damage enemies. This skill is a new Rogue skill that appeared in DLC Vessel of Hatred. Once launched, it has been welcomed by the majority of Rogue players.
As a practical physical damage skill, Dance of Knives has continuous mobility and excellent damage output. It allows you to guide the throwing knives to attack surrounding enemies, consuming a charge per second, allowing each throwing knife to cause 70-94% damage, and the faster the attack speed, the more damage it causes. You will even gain additional movement speed and dodge chance when channeling the skill.
Of course, in addition to the evasion bonus provided by Dance of Knives, you should also equip your Poison Trap Spam Rogue with some nice defensive skills that can further improve its evasion and agility attributes, such as Smoke Grenade and Poison Trap.
In fact, these two skills can also cause considerable damage to enemies on their own - as the most agile class in Diablo 4, most of Rogue’s skills are very flexible. Poison Trap can create a poisonous trap to poison the enemy, and Smoke Grenade can throw a smoke mixture at the enemy to stun them for a few seconds. They can also be further upgraded to:
In addition, the concealment effect provided by Concealment skill is also very helpful for completing The Pit of Artificers. After entering the stealth state, you have 5 seconds to shuttle between enemies and deal damage without being discovered, but if you are attacked during this period, the stealth state will be invalid.
In order to ensure that the above Rogue skills you added can be better used in The Pit battle through Poison Trap Spam Rogue Build, it is also necessary to equip other important passive skills, such as:
Some of them can increase the damage caused by your active skills, some can provide speed or dodge assistance, and some can make vulnerable enemies lose more health when attacked, which is very useful.
After completing the skill matching, it is time to work hard to farm the right gear to continue to improve your build. If you want to improve the damage output ability of the build first, then Bands of Ichorous Rose is definitely your best choice.
This item is actually the latest Rogue exclusive item launched in Season 8, which can be worn by you as gloves. Bands of Ichorous Rose increase the maximum number of Poison Traps you can cast by 4, and they always deal full damage within 3 seconds, increasing damage by 50 - 100%. Other specific buffs include:
For Legendary Aspect, we recommend Aspect of Arrow Storms. A reliable offensive aspect, Aspect of Arrow Storms gives your ranged skills a 36% chance to rain arrows that deal continuous damage to enemies.
Each class in Diablo 4 has a specific mechanic that helps you enhance your character in the most class-specific way. For Rogue, this mechanic is Specialization, which allows you to choose one of three passive bonuses to enhance yourself, and you can switch at any time, even in combat, which are:
The one that makes Poison Trap Spam Rogue Build more powerful in The Pit is Inner Sight. It allows you to mark random enemies, and hitting these enemies will fill the corresponding progress bar, and once it is full, you will get unlimited energy.
That’s all for this time. If you are playing Rogue class and are not satisfied with the existing builds, you might as well give this build a try!
For you, playing Diablo 4 should have two main purposes. One is to get a unique experience as a player by playing the game, and the other is to gradually grow in the game to defeat increasingly powerful opponents and dominate the game world.
No matter which aspect you value more, in fact, you must work hard to make your character stronger and stronger in the game. To do this, in addition to earning enough Diablo 4 Gold and XP, you also need to constantly update and upgrade the items you are equipped with.
Among all Diablo 4 items, Unique and Mythic Unique items are undoubtedly the rarest and provide the best benefits, so they are your popular farming targets in every season. Based on this, we will introduce you to the best gameplay to farm them in Season 8.
Diablo 4’s unique items can be divided into multiple types such as weapons, armor and jewelry. Each has four affixes and an exclusive power, which can provide your character with skills or stats bonuses to help you fight against powerful enemies.
Although most Diablo 4 endgame content can theoretically drop unique items through combat, in order to improve farming efficiency, you need to selectively find available combat. In fact, some bosses will focus on dropping Uniques exclusively to a certain class.
Endgame bosses should be the main source of unique items, even if they are renamed lair bosses. When you unlock Torment difficulty in Season 8, you can challenge these bosses at any level of Torment difficulty to obtain the desired Uniques or Mythic Uniques.
Undoubtedly, as the final boss of this season, Belial has the highest chance of dropping Mythic Uniques, and each of the other lair bosses can provide you with a specific source of Unique items - the exception is Duriel and Andariel, who share the same loot list as brother bosses.
However, if you want to take away the loot after winning the lair boss battle, you must collect the lair keys of the corresponding boss in advance before the battle, otherwise you will miss the loot because you cannot open the boss hoard, wasting the opportunity to fight.
This Uniques farming method does not require you to prepare for the battle nervously, just ensure that you have a sufficient inventory of Murmuring Obols. Obols are a special currency that can be dropped after completing most of Diablo 4 content. Its main use is to help you exchange benefits at Purveyor of Curiosities.
However, this gambling will not guarantee that you can get the unique items you want, which means that you may waste a lot of Obols without getting a good return. Therefore, this method can only be regarded as a fun, and it cannot be used as your main source of Uniques.
Helltides is a special endgame event that refreshes on the map every 5 minutes and lasts for 55 minutes each time. After appearing, all Helltides will be marked with a burgundy symbol, and you can go to the corresponding location according to the symbol to complete it.
Tree of Whispers is also an endgame event, which will bring you some bounty tasks. Completing these tasks can get random collectibles, and Grim Favors for exchanging more Tree of Whispers rewards.
During Helltides, you can get gold, XP and Aberrant Cinders by killing enemies and bosses in the event. Aberrant Cinders can open Tortured Gifts you previously obtained through Tree of Whispers collectibles, which may contain Uniques, but the drop rate is not stable.
Although Infernal Hordes is also an endgame event, you can start participating as long as you unlock Torment difficulty. This event will generate multiple waves of enemies. All you have to do is to complete these waves and defeat the subsequent Fell Council without exhausting all resurrections.
In the process of completing the above content, you will collect an in-game currency called Burning Aether, which can be used to exchange for Spoils of Hell chests. Opening these chests will give you a chance to get gear, gold, crafting materials, and most importantly, Uniques and Mythic Uniques.
It is worth noting that in order to enter Infernal Hordes, you need to get enough Infernal Compasses. Before Season 8, this item could be crafted by collecting materials, but now the mechanism has been adjusted and they can only exist as random drops.
To do this, you need to first complete The Eyes of the Enemy in Infernal Hordes questline to get the first Infernal Compass to open Gates of Hell, and then farm more by completing other Infernal Hordes tasks.
The above are all the ways to farm unique items in Diablo 4 Season 8. Considering that all methods will not drop 100%, you must persevere and fight in various events! You have worked hard!
When you plan to farm rarer loot in Diablo 4, you need to enter the more difficult game content and challenge the bosses. In the past, these bosses were mainly endgame bosses, but after entering Season 8, not only their overall mechanism has been adjusted, but also their names have been changed to lair bosses.
All lair bosses are divided into 3 levels according to their challenge difficulty and the value of the loot they provide, from low to high, they are Initiate, Greater, and Exalted. Although Initiate lair boss is easier to deal with, since there are up to 5 bosses on this level, the total amount of loot in the end is also very considerable.
Based on this, this time we will introduce you to how to find these five Initiate lair bosses, as well as the specific reward list after defeating them, to help you get more and better items in Season 8.
The full name of this boss is Grigoire, The Galvanic Saint. Before Season 8, you had to collect the corresponding summoning materials to challenge him or other lair bosses, but now these materials have been replaced by lair keys - you can enter the battle directly, but only lair keys can guarantee that you can get loot by opening the hoard after the battle.
The keys required for Grigoire are 12 Living Steel. After ensuring that you have enough materials and unlocking Torment difficulties, go to Dry Steppes, south of the capital Ked Bardu, where the boss is in Hall of the Penitent.
The key to fighting Grigoire is sufficient lightning resistance. To do this, you can exchange Elixir of Lightning Resistance II to increase this resistance if you have enough Diablo 4 Gold. After that, pay attention to avoid the boss’s lightning attacks and summoning minions in the battle. Here are all the uniques that Grigoire may drop:
In fact, all the basic operating mechanisms of Initiate lair boss are almost the same. What needs extra attention is the specific lair keys required, the location of appearance, the combat mode and the final loot will be different.
Beast in the Ice can be found in Glacial Fissure located in Desolate Highlands, Fractured Peaks, south of Kyovashad. The required keys are 12 Distilled Fear. From the name of the boss, you know that you need enough ice resistance to fight it. For this, you need to equip Elixir of Cold Resistance II in advance.
In addition, during the battle, the boss will generate ice areas of various shapes, and direct attacks are mainly frontal. You only need to keep these two points in mind to avoid damage. After the battle, there is a chance to obtain the following Uniques:
This boss appears in Malignant Burrow in the north of Hawezar near Tree of Whispers. Unlocking his hoard requires 4 Malignant Hearts as keys.
Before starting the battle, you can obtain Elixir of Shadow Resistance II in advance to increase your shadow resistance to ensure your health. The unique items available after the battle are:
After you have 12 Exquisite Blood, you can go to Fractured Peaks in Kyovashad to find The Darkened Way and enter from the entrance to challenge this boss. The trick to fighting Lord Zir is to maintain shadow resistance while avoiding Elite Bloodseeker and blood orbs he summons as much as possible.
This boss can be found in Fields of Judgement at any Torment difficulty level - Fields of Judgement is located in Teganze Plateau subzone of Nahantu. The corresponding lair keys are 4 Judicator’s Mask.
In addition to the usual gold, XP and the following unique items, defeating Urivar will also give you Betrayer’s Husk, which is required to unlock the final boss Belial’s Hoard.
We hope that this information we have provided can help you in your Diablo 4 Season 8 boss farming progress, so that you can get the loot you want as soon as possible!
