We're going to talk about the most important things you should do right now in Diablo 4's Early Access Beta.
From the start, just like in the previous Diablo games, you should pick the higher Veteran difficulty for the extra 20% increase XP gain and 15% more Diablo 4 Gold drops from enemies.
The difference in difficulty from Adventure is barely noticeable, but you'll get to level up with your characters a lot faster. If you somehow chose the other, you don't even need to restart. Just head over to the World Tier Statue right here in the main town and change it from there once more.
Also, keep in mind that teaming up with others and forming parties with players offers another five percent extra XP gain on top of that, so it's worth it to play with your friends or with random players.
The second most important thing you should do right away is to unlock your class specialization as soon as it becomes available. This starts as early as level 7 via a class specific quest. That will appear in the Priority Quest section of the journal between the main and the side missions.
Each class has a different specialization, which unlocks the possibility to further expand upon your character's mechanics and develop your builds to the next level.
For example, Rogue has access to both combo points and the inner side at level 7 and 20, respectively. Meanwhile, Mage gets extra enchantment slots to turn some of its active spells into powerful auto cast.
The quests involving these are rather short and once you're done with them, you will get some powerful effects that will change your character completely.
Another thing that really brings your powers to the next level is the Codex of Power by unlocking legendary aspects. You do so by completing these dungeons and you will notice that each one of them will list special aspects for each of the classes.
To better consult these for your current class, you can also do this directly from the Collections tab and then pin its source onto the map to better reveal where you can get it from.
Do keep in mind, however, that many of these aspects are required from other maps while the demo restricts us to the starting zone of the Fractured Peaks. So, if you cannot get it because it's too far away, just focus on the ones in the Fractured Peaks.
Once you do get to unlock a few of these, you will need to visit the Occultist in the main town, which will let you place these powerful buffs on your gear pieces.
However, this process requires a special crafting mat called Veiled Crystals that you can only get by salvaging rare and above quality items.
Another tip over here is instead of selling these items early on, rather than salvage them at any blacksmith. Once you get at least 12 Veiled Crystals and buy Diablo IV Gold, you can imbue a piece of gear with that legendary aspect on it to gain its power.
But in this process, if you apply an aspect on a yellow piece, for example, you also get to turn that item from rare into a legendary quality. So, this can be a viable way of getting a full legendary set for your character if you have to be unlucky with the drop so far.
Finally, in this category, there's also the inventory aspect. These are completely separate from the Codex of Power and actually come randomly on gear.
Oftentimes, you might get a legendary item with one of these powerful effects that can actually fit for all classes, as they tend to fit a more general role. But there's also more specialized ones for specific classes.
That's why in this case, instead of selling or salvaging these items. Even if you get duplicates, try to extract that first before doing anything with the item itself. In this case, you can transfer that on a different piece of gear should you find it and this also gets stored in a special aspect section in the character's inventory for later use.
Another thing that helps a ton leveling up and gaining new skill points faster is not forgetting to claim the region progress. If you head over into the map menu and press W on the keyboard or the equivalent on the controller, this brings up the track for the Fractured Peaks.
Now, in the final game, all regions will have one and they will all provide wonderful rewards from extra XP, Diablo 4 Gold for sale, skill points, potions and later on even Paragon points.
To complete them, you just need to check the requirements in the two columns below. These usually involve discovering the map unlocking waypoints, completing a number of side quests and generally just playing through the game. And you don't even actually have to complete all of them, you just need to meet the point requirements for the next tier.
For example, the third tier requires 400 Renown, and each objective provides a certain value of Renown from 5 to 100. So, you could easily complete just three strongholds that give 100 Renown each or complete Side Quests for 20 points and so on.
But since we'll be doing a lot of these anyway early on, you'll get the starting two tiers quite easily. It's only the third, fourth and fifth one that might get a little more troublesome, which is why I recommend completing all the side quests that you find.
I really like doing the open world events every time I see them popping up. Which you will as they are indicated with the orange markers or circles on the map when you get close to them and are a significant source of XP as well as loot.
Compared to many other encounters and even more so dungeons, they are much quicker at dropping a bunch of rares and decently enough legendaries as well once you get at least a level 20 with the character, but are worth doing nonetheless even way before that simply because it helps to progress a lot faster.
There are different types of events that generally shuffle between a handful of scenarios. But for the one involving the pillar, I'm going to focus a bit more since I see a lot of people ignoring the main mechanics.
So in this one, you actually have to stay inside of the circle rooms surrounding the main pillar so that you can fill the pillar slowly with the blood magic that you see progressing on the ground.
Once that happens and you defeat the enemies at the end of it, you're going to get a loot shower chest that gives you a ton of items.
Just like in the previous Diablo games, do not miss on the treasure Goblins. These guys can be really inconspicuous. But what makes them easy to notice is the huge backpack, the loot and the goal that drops from it and the fact that they tend to run away from you once you get too close.
So, make sure that if you spot one of these, always pursue them and try to take them down. Once you do, they'll again drop a bunch of loot and money that can come in quite handy. That's why it's recommended to use gap closing abilities like the Shadow Step or Teleport in conjunction with attacks that slow their movements to make this encounter a lot easier.
Meanwhile, let's talk about some of the other vendors in Kyovashad that can prove quite useful.
Do not skip the Veroka, the Alchemist, as she will buff your potions, healing power, and healing over time if you bring her some of these special plans.
Luckily, many side missions provide packages filled with these plans and as long as you just complete a few of them, you should have plenty enough for all the upgrades needed available until Level 25 in this beta.
I know this might sound a bit obvious, but you are not stuck with your current looks and should definitely check out the Wardrobe function too in Kyovashad, specifically because once you acquire at least a few gear sets, you can go ahead and transmog your current items to look like any of the unlocked pieces that you might have liked previously, even to the point of changing completely the color scheme that you have the selection from right there at the bottom.
There are roughly 15 to 20 distinct sets for all classes, so it's worth pursuing them and eventually making your characters stand out from the rest.
Finally, another aspect that lets you further amplify your build is slotting in gems on your gear. You'll notice that different pieces get affected by gems in different ways for armor, weapons and jewelry likewise.
For example, Skulls are excellent on weapons as they provide heal on kill should you require a lot more survivability, but they are pretty decent on jewelry as well for the tremendous boost to armor that they give. As Emeralds play a huge role for Rogue, you need something with more critical hits. And for Topaz, you need something with spell casters that require spell damage and so on.
While slotting in gems can be done at any point for extracting gems or even more so upgrading them, you will need to check out the jewelry also back in Kyovashad.
And I recommend always promoting the lower grade rocks into the ones of higher quality, especially once you got at least three of each of the same level. You will notice that these will get some nice buffs that will make them a lot stronger.
As you know, the seasonal power of Diablo 4 Season 9 is Horadric Spells. You can combine the three elements of Catalyst, Infusion and Arcana as needed to create your own unique power for Season 9.
At the same time, as a large and complete ARPG, every new gameplay launched by Diablo 4 actually hides an exclusive mechanism network behind it.
Take Horadric Spells as an example. In order to successfully utilize it to assist in combat, you also need to understand and obtain Horadric Phials & Knowledge. They belong to “Horadric” system, but their specific functions are different.
We have already introduced the combat functions of various Horadric Spells to you in other previous guides. What we want to tell you next is the relevant information about Horadric Phials and Horadric Knowledge.
As you complete seasonal quests or clear the new dungeon Horadric Strongrooms, you will unlock different Horadric Spells in addition to the basic Diablo 4 gold rewards.
All currently known Horadric Spells and how to unlock them are:
Catalysts
Infusions
Arcana
These spells have unique combat benefits, but as you progress through the game, both your character and your enemies will become more powerful, so Horadric Spells must be upgraded - and Horadric Phials are the only item that can do this.
To keep Horadric Spells available, most elite enemies or bosses in the world map will drop Horadric Phials after being defeated. But if you want to focus on farming, focusing on Helltides is your best choice in the early game.
Because Helltides contains multiple quests that drop Horadric Phials, and each is easy to do, you can maximize your farming efficiency in a short period of time. Specifically, they include:
However, as you enter the later stages of the game, Nightmare Dungeons and Horadric Strongrooms should be better sources of Horadric Phials. They will bring more high-rarity treasure chests through stronger enemies, and you can get more Phials after opening them.
In fact, all chests and caches you can get throughout Season 9 may bring Horadric Phials, including reward caches brought by increasing Horadric Knowledge.
As you know, its main function is to upgrade Horadric Spells. It should be noted that as you complete more game content, you will also get more Horadric Spells, but not all of them are suitable for your class/builds/game habits.
So after getting a certain amount of Horadric Phials, don’t rush to upgrade by them. Instead, after determining your Season 9 battle builds, prioritize upgrading Horadric Spells that are most suitable for you to avoid waste.
If Horadric Phials is the upgrade currency for Horadric Spells, then Horadric Knowledge is more like the reputation system of the entire Horadric mechanism. The increase of Horadric Knowledge can unlock more relevant rewards and seasonal tasks/stories for you in Season 9.
Compared with Horadric Phials, Knowledge is not a must-have for completing all seasonal content, but the rewards it provides can really help you. In particular, some reward caches will also have Horadric Phials.
First of all, it should be noted that Horadric Knowledge does not exist in the game as loot, so no matter how you get it, you will not receive a notification when you get it, and you will only see relevant prompts when it is upgraded.
At present, the channels for obtaining Horadric Knowledge in Diablo 4 Season 9 are basically the same as farming Horadric Phials (you can farm at the same time), mainly including:
In addition, while you gain some Horadric Knowledge by completing the above, you can unlock more seasonal quests, which can also bring you Horadric Knowledge.
Another way to gain Horadric Knowledge is to consume Horadric Phials to exchange. But to be honest, this method is not very practical, because upgrading Horadric Spells is the key role of Phials, and the rewards brought by improving Knowledge are not very prominent in comparison.
That’s all for this time. I hope this information can help you better master Horadric Spells in Season 9 to solve those tricky quests or bosses as soon as possible. Have fun!
Although there are several classes that perform exceptionally well in each Diablo 4 season, it does not mean that other classes are not worth experiencing. In fact, each class should be valued in all seasons, otherwise it will lead to a serious imbalance in class experience.
You should have learned that the most popular classes in Season 9 should be Spiritborn or Sorcerer, but you can still play Rogue in this season as a single class enthusiast or out of preference for high agility classes.
However, the question you need to consider is how to experience Rogue smoothly in Season 9 without having an absolute advantage? We will recommend several good Rogue builds for you in order of priority based on actual conditions.
First of all, the most important thing for this build is that you must obtain the unique sword Azurewrath as a key gear through farm boss Duriel, Andariel, Harbinger or Belial, which can output cold damage and provide corresponding lucky hit bonuses.
On this basis, the skills that need to be matched include Caltrops and Poison Trap, which can increase your damage output, and Shadow Clone can provide additional lucky hits.
In addition, seasonal power Horadric Spells are also essential. For this build, Floaty Bobble Arcana with Dash can help you shuttle faster in battle.
If you want to utilize the build to get more Diablo 4 gold in dungeons such as The Pit, you can replace Floaty Bobble Arcana and Dash with Fractured Core and Subverting Smoke Grenade.
It is worth noting that this build is a melee build, but if you are tired of this play style, you can also change the key passive to Victimize, so that you don’t have to maintain melee distance and move more flexibly - at the consume of reduced damage output.
This build has performed well in Season 8, and it is a good Rogue Leveling Build in Season 9. It works similarly to the previous build in general, relying on weapons with unique sword Azurewarth as the main weapon to deal damage.
On this basis, you can continue to fuse the right skills to stack the lucky hit chance as much as possible, to trigger the fixed damage effect frequently. This will also improve the efficiency of the build’s farm resources.
The best skills and Horadric Spells selection and order for this build are as follows:
Regular combat:
After entering the endgame:
As one of the classic Rogue builds, Death Trap had a wonderful experience until Season 8, but in S9, its overall damage, unique skills, passive skills, and any super mechanism that allowed it to play an extra role were weakened.
But even in this unprecedented downturn, Death Trap is still more reliable than most ordinary Rogue builds, provided that you can accept the gap compared to previous seasons.
In terms of gameplay, this build continues the previous operating mode of fast movement + continuous Death Trap attack + sufficient damage, allowing you to keep moving while outputting damage, reflecting its high mobility.
In addition, it is recommended that you pair it with the following gear to strengthen this build as much as possible despite the nerf:
Compared to the past, the strength of this build has not changed much in Season 9, the only difference is that it has gained several available variants. If you are bored with Death Trap and don’t want to try other risky new builds, you can continue to utilize Poison Trap.
Compared to the melee focus of other Rogue builds, this build is special in that it belongs to the ranged type and is relatively rare. Although it was not very noticeable before, it has made a strong comeback in S9, especially with the nerf of Death Trap.
As the core skill of this build, Penetrating Shot can fire a huge piercing arrow to damage the enemy, while Trickshot Aspect can further expand the range of your skills.
On this basis, you can combine Azurewrath’s cold damage affix to make Penetrating Shot Build provide you with a higher lucky hit rate in addition to the output of basic damage.
In terms of overall strength, it is not a terrible choice to continue playing Rogue with the above builds in this season, but you need to accept the reality that it is not as reliable as in previous seasons.
In addition, as you can see, Azurewrath is the key gear that makes most Rogue builds work, compared to the latest unique item Deathmask Of Nirmitruq added in S9. So you need to clarify your farming goals as a Rogue in S9, rather than blindly pursuing novelty.
The above is the information we provide for you to experience Rogue class in Season 9 and the recommended builds. If you are a fan of this class, I hope this guide will be helpful to you!
Although Diablo 4 Season 9 has only been officially launched for two or three days, you should have already learned most of the content through the PTR and other information, such as the new dungeon and the new best class or builds.
If you are a Spiritborn fan, then Season 9 is still worth experiencing for you, because the new unique items make this class stronger in S9 through many available builds. Among them, Speed Spiritborn Evade Build is the best for farming dungeons.
In terms of strength, this build is not the best Spiritborn build in Season 9, but it works wonders in clearing dungeons - not only new dungeons, but also classic The Pit. In this way, you can earn enough Diablo 4 gold, XP, and Paragon points with this build.
Based on this, we will introduce you to the key points of crafting this build and how it works in the new dungeon Escalating Nightmares in S9.
As you can see from the name of this build, the core of its function lies in continuous evasion, but other offensive skills are also important. After all, you can’t kill the enemy by dodging alone.
For this reason, the core skill of this build is still Quill Volley, which is suitable for most Spiritborn builds. It can cause lightning damage by throwing feathers at the enemy.
But before utilizing this skill, you need to choose Rock Splitter as your basic skill, because it can naturally generate resources for you, and provide blocking resources and blocking chance.
Next, you also need to add Soar, Thunderspike, Brilliance and Acceleration to the build. Some of them are passive skills that can provide additional benefits, and some are active skills that can continue to provide you with lightning damage. None of them can be ignored.
After completing these skill combinations, what you have to do is to find a way to minimize the cooldown of Evade while attacking the enemy to form a “Perma Evade”.
This trick actually has nothing to do with the skill itself, but requires you to find and hold the static option in the settings, then bind “Hold Position” to the Shift key, and combine it with Thunder Spy hotkey.
In this way, in the future battles, you can just hold the Shift key, then right-click to hold position and press the spacebar to “Perma Evade”. On this basis, you can cast all other skills to deal more damage to the enemy while protecting yourself.
Due to the nature of the build, it does not require the help of Balazan’s Maxtlatl as you think, after all, this is a gear that mainly increases damage. The really important gear for Speed Spiritborn Evade Build is Harmony of Ebewaka and Sunbird’s Gorget.
As one of the exclusive gear for Spiritborn, Harmony of Ebewaka armor has the following base affixes:
On top of that, it also provides Jaguar, Eagle, Gorilla, or Centipede skills to other skills in your build, depending on your secondary Spirit Hall choice. For this build, it is recommended to choose Jaguar because it can synergize with Sunbird’s Gorget.
This item is a unique item exclusive to Spiritborn launched in Season 8. As an amulet, its affixes include:
It is worth noting that the amulet’s unique power is mainly to allow you to damage enemies by picking up Storm Feather, which is actually a Jaguar skill.
Although these two pieces of gear are not new, the synergy between them can keep you alive in Season 9 in the classic Spiritborn class survival style. If used properly, it is not inferior to the new item Balazan’s Maxtlatl, which focuses on thorns and poison damage.
As an upgraded version of the nightmare dungeons brought by Season 9, Escalating Nightmares is composed of three regular nightmare dungeons connected in series. Each dungeon has its own positive and negative affix effects, which will be stacked as the progress deepens.
To unlock and enter Escalating Nightmares, you need to obtain Escalation Sigils as “keys” by completing Season 9 quest line or farming Grand Horadric Cache in another new dungeon, Horadric Strongroom.
The most efficient way to farm Escalation Sigils is to clear Horadric Strongroom. And both Horadric Strongroom and Escalating Nightmares can bring you a lot of loot.
To complete them through Speed Spiritborn Evade Build, you undoubtedly need to master all the skills first and get the gear required for the build. Then you must understand the specific operation of each dungeon.
On this basis, you can quickly solve the large number of enemies in the dungeon through skilled and uninterrupted evade in combat, the lightning damage provided by active skills, and the benefits provided by various gear, to earn the loot brought by Season 9.
The above is the information related to Speed Spiritborn Evade Build and the introduction of how to clear the new dungeon through it. I hope it can help you!
Most new Diablo 4 seasons add new unique items with different effects to each class when they are launched, so that the class can get more benefits based on the existing skills, and it is also more playable in the new season.
Although the new unique items seems are not necessary to be compared due to different applicability, they can also be compared to determine the “best item” in the current season based on the degree of benefit they provide to their class.
For Diablo 4 Season 9, the best unique item is likely to be Balazan’s Maxtlatl, which belongs to Spiritborn class, and this judgment is based on many aspects. We will introduce you to it below.
This item is a new Ancestral Unique Pants added for Spiritborn in Season 9. After adjustments in the PTR and subsequent patches, its affixes and unique power effects now include:
Although its unique power effect has been weakened to ensure the balance of the class experience, this still cannot stop Balazan’s Maxtlatl from making Spiritborn the dominant class in Season 9.
Additionally, if you want to get this item, you need to farm the bosses Varshan and Urivar in Torment difficulty. Although getting this item may be a long process, you can also earn more Diablo 4 gold during this period.
For any piece of gear, no matter how powerful or rare it is, its single effect alone cannot change anything. Only when it is combined with relevant builds can it play a real role.
Take Balazan’s Maxtlatl as an example. In Season 9, its power lies in the perfect combination of Toxic Skin and Noxious Resistance, which amplifies the poison damage to the extreme.
In this way, enemies affected by the poison effect in combat will burst when they hit critically, taking 180% poison damage, and also dealing 20% poison damage to nearby enemies.
In general, Balazan’s Maxtlatl pants are designed to maximize your poison damage output by converting thorn damage in addition to increasing basic attributes.
From there, you can further combine Season 9’s seasonal power Horadric Spells to craft your own Spiritborn builds, or continue to utilize these reliable classic builds:
By contrast, while Quill Volley has been around since the beginning of Spiritborn, the benefits of Balazan’s Maxtlatl make this build still the most worthwhile class to play in the new season.
From a seasonal perspective, Balazan’s Maxtlatl is the new best unique item, but for Spiritborn, Kepeleke Rod of Core was the key to helping the class dominate the game before Balazan’s Maxtlatl appeared.
Kepeleke Rod of Core is a unique item added by Vessel of Hatred for Spiritborn, and its main buff is to increase your damage output based on Vigor’s release and conume.
This allows powerful Spiritborn builds like Quill Volley to maximize their damage output by converting core skills into basic skills, making them free to cast and converting any unconsumed Vigor into guaranteed critical damage.
With the release of Balazan’s Maxtlatl, it further enriches the richness of Spiritborn builds with thorns and converted poison damage, and allows you to swap core skills and basic skills according to your preferences.
While these marks the end of Kepeleke Rod of Core era, the emergence of new powerful items also means that as the youngest class in the game, Spiritborn will not disappear due to the loss of novelty, but will be favored by players in Diablo 4 for a long time.
Perhaps the prominence of Balazan’s Maxtlatl makes you wonder if this has disrupted the balance of the game, but the effects of the existing 6 new unique items have been adjusted, and if there are still problems, it is not a defect of the items themselves.
In fact, the class balance experience of Diablo 4 has been questioned by players since Season 6. I believe you have also found that the old classes represented by Druid are always weakened unnecessarily. Although various optimizations have been made to restore it, it has to be said that the effect is not obvious.
There is no doubt that in the long run, the atmosphere of Diablo 4 game community and the game experience of players of weak classes will be negatively affected. Even for players of dominant classes, this imbalance is terrible.
Therefore, while you are happy about the reliability of Balazan’s Maxtlatl, you can also make suggestions to the game development team through various channels with other players to jointly maintain Diablo 4 better.
Although according to various signs, Necromancer should not be the dominant class in Diablo 4 Season 9, it is not impossible if you want to continue to play it, provided that you can choose the right Season 9 Necromancer Build.
As you know, each class has different best builds in different Diablo 4 seasons, some of which are rookies, and some are optimized versions of classic builds according to seasonal changes.
For Necromancer, although there are no new builds available, at least Blood Wave Build in S9 is still expected to help you output enough damage in battle to get more Diablo 4 gold drops.
Based on this, we will introduce you how to make this classic Necromancer Build continue to play a role in Season 9 according to the changes in the seasonal content.
In general, Blood Wave is a stable, damage-focused build that performs well in both AOE and single-target attacks, making it suitable for most combat situations. In addition, its gameplay is relatively simple and easy to understand, and even Necromancer novices can quickly master it.
The build works by first casting Blood Wave, and then running to manually collect Blood Orbs when Blood Wave disappears. Although it is a bit cumbersome, the high overall damage and damage reduction of this build make it still one of the top choices for Necromancer builds.
Generally speaking, the content that determines the strength of a build includes gear, seasonal power, skills, and the skill rotation method. Among them, the choice of skills usually does not change much, but the rotation method needs to be adjusted according to the season.
For Season 9, it is still recommended that you pair the following skills with Blood Wave Necromancer Build:
Once you have determined your usable skills, it is recommended that you first utilize Decompose to create corpses, then pull enemies in with Corpse Tendrils and utilize Blood Wave to attack them.
On this basis, Affliction can greatly increase the damage potential of the build by dealing a certain percentage of damage to enemies in vulnerable, crowd controlled or corrupted states. But it should be noted that the core of this build to maximize damage is still Blood Wave.
The reason that usually prevents you from utilizing a good build is that the best gear it needs is very difficult to get, and it must be repeatedly farmed by bosses. This is also true for Blood Wave Necromancer Build.
But honestly, if you blindly fear the challenge and don’t improve the strength of the build, you will only waste the chance to win that the build brings you. Therefore, in Season 9, you still need to obtain the following three pieces of gear for Blood Wave Build:
Comparatively speaking, the most important one should be Kessime’s Legacy, because it has affixes that can increase the damage potential of Blood Wave and reduce the cooldown of Blood Wave.
This way, not only can you cast it more often, but you’ll also have a greater chance of dealing double damage to enemies. The item also has a unique ability to cast Blood Wave on either side of you for a wider range of coverage.
As for Shroud of False Death and Heir of Perdition, their role is to provide excellent damage bonuses to push the build’s damage output per second to the limit.
However, all three pieces of gear require you to repeatedly fight the corresponding bosses in Torment difficulty to obtain them, and Kessime’s Legacy can only be dropped by farming Lord Zir. So if you want to maximize the potential of your build, at least wait until you reach the endgame stage.
Each Diablo 4 season’s seasonal power provides additional benefits to build, allowing you to output damage in a more seasonal way. In Season 9, that power is Horadric Spells. But if you want to enhance Blood Wave Build with it, it is recommended that you prioritize the following two powers:
Catalyst - Cosmic Anomaly
Infusion - Nebulous Extract
The above is how to make Blood Wave Necromancer Build still usable in Diablo 4 Season 9 or even output more damage. If you think it is feasible, try it in the game!
Diablo 4 adds new exclusive unique items to all base classes in each season update, and Season 9 is no exception. Usually, these class-specific items determine the popular build of the current season and lead the latest build trend!
Even if you don’t plan to advance the endgame and challenge Uber bosses in the new season, these items can let you know some new skills worth trying and some classic skills that have made a comeback, so that you won’t be at a loss in the new season content.
Therefore, it is so important to get these new exclusive unique items at the beginning of the season, which not only determines the direction of your build development, but also affects how far you can go in the endgame in the end. Here, we will talk about the 6 new class-specific items introduced in Season 9.
First, let’s start with Hooves of the Mountain God on the list. This pair of Barbarian’s new exclusive boots finally gives them basic skills and generator gameplay. This means that when you reach max Fury, your Fury will deplete rapidly until it is depleted, after which all of your basic skills will now slash and deal up to 100% bonus damage.
Based on the results in the PTR, this will be the S-tier build for Season 9. Of course, this remains to be seen, as many players say that Barbarian has been nerfed a lot in the new season.
And to get this new unique boot, all you need to do is keep farming Beast in the Ice or Urivar Lair Boss. But be aware that Hooves of the Mountain God only has a certain chance to drop as a boss, and more often you will just get a bunch of common items, but you can also sell the excess loot you don’t need for additional Diablo 4 gold income.
Next, we have Rotting Lightbringer, a unique Two-Handed weapon for Druid.
This weapon is interesting because it allows Werebear Druid builds to deal a lot of poison damage. In patch 2.3.0, the poison damage of this item was significantly increased from 150% to 550%, so this one is worth a try.
To get the new unique mace, you need to farm Varshan or Urivar Boss. But if you want to make the most of this unique, it is recommended that you still try to make a Pulverize Druid build to maximize synergy with it.
Next, we move on to the new unique item of Necromancer class, which is The Hand of Naz. To be honest, I am very interested in the mechanics of this unique glove, because it allows you to successfully build a powerful Skeletal Mage Minion Necromancer endgame build.
In simple terms, you have to sacrifice all other types of minions to summon additional maces, which means no more Skeletal Warriors and Golems, but in return, your damage will increase for each minion you sacrifice.
This unique item also grants you a unique power: when your Skeletal Mage survives 25 attacks on an enemy, it will upgrade to a Skeletal Arch-Mage.
And when this happens, the final unique power is activated: Skeletal Arch-Mages teleport to safety when attacked, and their attacks occasionally shatter on impact, dealing up to 100% bonus damage to the target.
In addition, the time between their attacks shattering has been reduced by 50% compared to the PTR period, and more importantly, Skeletal Arch-Mages are now unstoppable within 1 second of teleporting.
To get this unique gauntlet, you need to defeat Andariel, Duriel, or Harbinger of Hatred, which has a chance to drop this item.
Let’s move on to Rogue. Unfortunately, things look bad for Rogue compared to last season, as the new item Deathmask of Nirmitruq only serves to increase Flurry skill ranks and damage.
Flurry Rogue Endgame build for Season 9 will be a B tier build, which makes it the weakest one on this list.
Remember that Flurry is basically a skill that quickly stabs enemies in a circular area, but from what we have read so far, to get the most out of it, you’d better try Twisting Blades, Rain of Arrows, or Rapid Fire. You can get this helmet from Beast in the Ice or Urivar.
Next, we come to Spiritborn class. Its new exclusive item is called Balazan’s Maxtlatl Unique Pants, which looks very interesting because it allows for a build related to poison and thorns.
But in the latest patch, this item was nerfed by 50%. In the previous PTR, each attack dealt 300% of Thorns’ damage to melee enemies, but in the official version, its damage was reduced to 150% of Thorns’ damage. However, 100% of the damage will be converted into poison within 3 seconds.
Another unique power is that every time you use Thorns skill to counterattack, the poison damage will increase by 100% within 5 seconds, stacking up to 300%. This new change makes many players think that Poison Thorns Spiritborn build is the most powerful build in Season 9.
But to get this unique pants, you need to participate in Varshan or Urivar boss battle and win.
Finally, for all Hydra lovers, Sorcerer will make a comeback with this build. Because the new Unique Amulet Ophidian Iris can give Hydra an extra 2 heads, increased attack speed, +30% resistance to all elements and up to 100% fire damage.
The unique power of this item is that Hydra is now a core skill and always summons a three-headed Hydra whose attacks explode on impact.
On the other hand, for each Hydra you have more than 3 heads, it will grow larger and deal 50% to 100% more damage. You need to combine this build with Shatter to deal huge damage.
In fact, Hydra is one of the iconic builds of Diablo series, and I think it’s great that it can still be used after leveling. This makes it one of the best-looking builds in the entire game.
To get Ophidian Iris, you’d better actively complete Andariel, Duriel or Harbinger of Hatred boss encounters, which have a certain chance of random drops!
These are all 6 class-exclusive items added in Diablo 4 Season 9. What do you think of them? Do you have a better understanding of the build play in the new season? Looking forward to seeing you in the game!
