I’m going to be showing you the Blight Commander Necromancer build, which is a Necromancer build that focuses on summing lots of minions and building up dots over time on enemies so that they bleed out. If you’ve been looking for an alternative to the Corpse Explosion build, which is probably the most made a build in the game right now, then this build is for you.
First let’s take a look at Blight, which is the namesake of this build. This is the core ability you’re going to be using and you usually want to lead off combat with this ability in order to create a pool of poison around on the ground.
Once you have this upgraded, it’s going to slow enemies and your minions, and you are going to deal increased damage to enemies standing in this Blight.
Keep in mind that damage over time effects in this game stacks. The more you can stack up damage over time effects, the more damage you’re going to deal in a hurry.
Blight is a really good way to begin combat because it’s not only going to get that dot on the ground early. It’s going to slow enemies, which allow you to deal more damage to them, if you have any damage to slow on your gear, which is not hard to find and also because you and your minions are going to deal with extra damage. You want to lead off of that if you can.
Bone Splinters is your basic attack for this build. It sort of shoots up bones in like a cone in front of you and we’re going to upgrade this all the way up to Initiate’s Bone Splinters.
This makes it so that it has a 20% chance per hit to make enemies vulnerable for a few seconds. This, of course, increases your damage against them and your minions damage against them. So, it’s good to have.
You won’t need this all the time, but it’s a good way to add damage when you’re using all the Corpse Explosions you can use and you have. All your Essence drained on whites getting damaged over time on the ground. This is kind of the way you’re going to add to your minions damage while you’re kind of generating more Essence.
Then obviously, we also have Corpse Explosion here. I don’t think you can pretty much play in Necromancer without some form of Corpse Explosion because the corpse resources on the ground pretty much go to waste if you don’t have some version here.
However, we have a different set up than the Corpse Explosion build and it’s just part of this build. It isn’t the focus and we’re actually upgrading it all the way through the Blighted Corpse Explosion build, which actually does Shadow Damage over time.
Once you have it upgraded, obviously, it does it in a wider radius as well, so you’re going to be exploding corpses all around there are going to add to this damage over time. So, you’re also getting with your Blight. So, you’re going to have lots of dots on your enemies that are just gonna slowly quickly bleed out depending on how much dots you have staff on them.
When it comes to your passives here, you can either use Hewed Flesh, which makes it so your Lucky Hit has a chance to create a Corpse when you deal damage, which will give you more corpses to use or you can use Grim Harvest, which will give you back resources when you consume a Corpse with Corpse Explosion or by summoning like a Skeleton or something like that.
And you will be using that periodically, so that’s a good way to generate Essence, as well. I recommend taking either one of those. It’s kind of up to you. I recommend using Grim Harvest, but you can use Hewed Flesh if you want. That way, you can use your Blight more often and stack dots harder.
Corpse Tendrils is another really good ability for this build because it folds enemies in and stuns them by using a Corpse and this works really well when you’re stacking up dots from your Corpse Explosion and from your Blight that are pools of poison.
You can pull enemies into those pools of poison and stun them inside of it. It works really well for damage, so this is not a bad ability to have. It’s kind of a one-point Wonder here. You don’t really need to add any more to it, but just getting one of those off periodically is really good for the spell, as well.
The ultimate ability we’re using for this build is Army of the Dead. It has a very long cooldown, but what it does is over seven seconds. It summons these skeletons that explode when around enemies. This is a screen clear.
And if you’d have the Prime upgrade of this, it’s going to make it, so they have a 15% chance to leave behind a corpse when they explode. And since this is a lot of skeletons, this can generate a lot of corpses, which you can then use to stack dots all over the screen with Corpse Explosion and you can use it to use your Tendrils as well in order to pull enemies in. So, this is really good for this build.
Obviously, besides these abilities, because this is a minion master type over and have Raise Skeleton and Summoner build would be complete without these.
When we’re setting up our Book of the Dead, we’re going to go for what the Warriors. We’re going to go with the Skirmisher setup with the first upgrade that allows you to have an extra Skirmisher. This is going to give you five total and then if you have the Blood Getters aspect, this is going to give you seven Skirmishers on the screen all dealing damage, which is absolutely fantastic.
And when it comes to our Skeletal Mages, we’re going to go with the Cold version of them. We’re going to go with the first upgrade that allows you to gain two Essence every time they hit with their primary attack.
This is going to help build up your resources for you so that you can use Blight more often. It’s a good way to gain more Essence and you kind of you go through your Essence very quickly with this build, as most Necromancers do. So, it’s a great way to gain Essence.
And just like with the Blood Getters aspect for Skeletal Warriors, there is a Viscous Aspect that gives you two more Mages. So, you’ll have a huge Army between the addition of a single Skirmisher, two more Skirmishers with Blood Getters and two more with Viscous Aspects. If you have all these things set up this way, you’re going to giant army, which is absolutely deadly to enemies.
Besides these abilities you’re obviously going to want to take passives in Skeletal Warrior Mastery and Skeletal Mage Mastery. But this is going to increase the life totals of these and as well as the damage that they do since a big part of your damage with this build is coming from them and your dots you want them to have increased damage.
So, any extra points you can spare for Skeletal Warrior Mastery and Skeletal Mage Mastery are something you want to do.
Again, the idea with this build is to get lights down on the ground early to get damage over time on enemies, slow them and also make it so that they take more damage from you and your minions and verge on them with the minions and then drop more Corpse Explosions and Tendrils to group them up on there. Just wipe them out with damage over time with the minions and stuff.
Remember that you can use the abilities of your minions with the active abilities on your bar. So, even though you use the ability to summon your skeleton minions, you can also press it again to heal them and make their attack speed increase for a short period.
So, make sure that you do this when you’re in like tough fights where there’s a big crash pull. Use the active ability on the skeleton minions.
As you know, if you want to become stronger, then use Diablo 4 Gold to upgrade the skills in this build would be a good choice. So, gather enough gold before Diablo 4’s official release!
As Diablo 4 Season 9 progresses into the mid-to-late stages, some classes and builds' special advantages from the beginning of the season are becoming less pronounced, giving you a wider range of options if you're looking to play a new character.
For example, at the start of Season 9, Sorcerer's strongest build is undoubtedly Hydra Build. This is because the enhanced Hydra skill, combined with the new unique item, Ophidian Iris, boosts both resistance and damage output.
However, if you're looking for more versatile Sorcerer builds, that's entirely possible. In fact, with the right combination, the classic Ice Shards Sorcerer Build remains powerful in Season 9.
Below, we'll provide some tips for crafting and utilizing this build in Diablo 4 Season 9.
Although the names might seem contradictory, Flame Shield is indeed the first skill that makes sense for this build. This skill, by engulfing you, deals 40% burning damage per second to nearby enemies, granting you immunity.
The second skill to introduce is undoubtedly the core skill, Ice Shards. It fires five shards, each dealing 36% damage to enemies and an additional 25% damage to frozen enemies. If you enchant it, the ice shards will automatically fly towards frozen enemies.
These two skills, when used in conjunction with Teleport, further increase the overall build's mobility and activate the effects of the ring Tal Rasha's Iridescent Loop:
If you're interested, you can also replace these two skills with other ice skills, such as Frost Nova or Ice Blades. In fact, every ice skill in your skill list will help you gain damage bonuses from your passive skills.
However, if you want to build this build with the lightning skill Unstable Currents, you must ensure you have sufficient rare gear and consume materials such as Diablo 4 gold, Veiled Crystal, and Obducites to upgrade their affixes through Masterworking.
Overall, if you're looking for a more scalable build, a Flame Shield + Ice Shards + other ice skills combination is enough to complete an Ice Shards Sorcerer build. With a well-defined skill rotation, you can achieve adequate resistance and a decent damage multiplier.
In addition, with this build, aside from Ice Shards skill, you don't need to worry about enchantments; you can mix and match any ice skills. However, if you use a defensive ice skill, you'll need to activate it more frequently.
As for passive skills, you can unlock them according to the following recommendations if you have enough skill points:
In addition to the already mentioned Tal Rasha's Iridescent Loop, other essential gear for this build includes Helm Hail of Verglas, Shroud of False Death, and Fist of Fate, providing the following benefits:
Helm Hail of Verglas:
Chest Armor Shroud of False Death:
Gloves Fists of Fate:
Among the benefits of these three items, in addition to the various stat-boosting, resistances and the unique buff to Ice Shards, the lucky hit chance bonus is worth mentioning. It allows you to freeze enemies more frequently in combat, boosting the damage of your core abilities.
For two-handed weapons, Aspect of Piercing Cold is probably the best choice. While it reduces the damage of Ice Shards, it allows you to simultaneously attack and pierce multiple enemies, increasing the damage of your entire build through more flexible control.
Other gear worth acquiring includes:
As a Season 9 power, no Season 9 build should miss out on the new buffs Horadric Spells offer. For Ice Shards Sorcerer builds, the following Horadric Spells are particularly useful:
Of course, to obtain Horadric spells, you'll need to diligently farm Horadric dungeons and earn Horadric Phials by playing other regular Diablo 4 events, upgrading these spells to become more powerful.
In short, if you're looking to explore build possibilities beyond Hydra as a Sorcerer in Season 9, Ice Shards are a great option! Have fun!
Aside from leveling up, acquiring and equipping gear is one of the primary ways to increase your combat effectiveness in Diablo 4. Therefore, your ability to progress effectively after entering the endgame is heavily influenced by the strength of your gear.
For this reason, Diablo 4 offers a variety of ways to enhance gear, such as upgrading affixes through Masterworking or embedding runes into gear to enhance it.
Although runes were first introduced to Diablo 4 via Vessel of Hatred DLC, they quickly gained popularity and played a significant role in most subsequent seasons. Below, we’ll explain the main methods for farming runes in Season 9.
Besides being embedded into gear as enhancements, runes are also a currency for crafting specific Mythic Unique items. Furthermore, if you insert one Rune of Ritual and one Rune of Invocation into a two-slot piece of gear, they form a Runeword.
Furthermore, the utilization of runes is not unlimited. For more information, please refer to the following guidelines:
One important thing to note is that if you want to sell excess gear to other players for Diablo 4 gold, be sure to check if the gear has runes attached to it before completing the trade. Otherwise, you will not be able to retrieve the runes separately once the trade is completed.
Also, Mythic Uniques that can be crafted from runes are typically determined by the rune’s nature, not randomly. If you have too many of the same rune, you can consume them to craft additional random runes.
Runewords are actually a pair of linked Rune of Ritual and Rune of Invocation, which work together to trigger the desired gear bonus. Rune of Ritual generates offerings, which empower Rune of Invocation and trigger its effects.
If you only have Resplendant Sparks, you can only use them to craft random Mythic Uniques. However, if you can combine Resplendant Sparks with runes at Jeweler, you can craft exclusive Mythic Unique you want!
Before you start farming runes, you must complete Fundament of Faith chapter in DLC campaign; otherwise, runes won’t drop in-game.
Diablo 4 has multiple bosses to defeat in any season. World bosses in Season 9 are relatively easy to defeat and drop common rewards like gold or runes. While the rarity isn’t usually high, the quantity is still quite good.
Also, the lair bosses included in the endgame content, while more difficult to defeat, have a higher chance of dropping runes and a higher rarity. However, to obtain their loot, you must farm lair keys in advance to unlock boss hoards.
Also, if you own Vessel of Hatred, you’ll also receive runes from the first time you defeat campaign bosses in this DLC after the start of each season - but only once per season.
This dungeon was released with DLC, making it the primary dungeon for farming runes. Kurast Undercity is timed; upon entering, a countdown begins. Once the timer expires, you’ll be teleported out, regardless of how much loot you’ve collected.
However, you can extend your farming time by killing as many enemies as possible in the dungeon, earning more rewards. Alternatively, you can earn special tributes by completing other Diablo 4 events to increase the chance of rune drops:
Starting in Season 6, you can begin hiring mercenaries. In addition to assisting you in battle, you can also gain additional benefits by improving your relationship with them.
For example, if your relationship with Aldkin reaches Rapport VIII, you can find an Augment Cache at Bartering vendor in Mercenary zone, The Den. Opening it has a chance of receiving Shattered Prisms, gems, or runes.
If you have too many low-level runes, you can reforge them at Jeweler to obtain a random new rune. Three runes of the same quality have a chance of being randomly converted into a higher-quality rune.
That’s all we have to say about runes farming in Season 9! We hope it helps you with your rune accumulation!
Diablo 4 features a rich item system. These items not only support you in completing more challenging battles and quests, but also serve as your goal for diligent farming to advance in the game.
While theoretically, the more of any item, the better, the different mechanics and gameplay of each season indicate that each season has a set of items that deserve your priority farming and stockpiling as much as possible.
For Season 9, these items primarily include lair keys for each lair boss, runes, and Obducite. Even as the season nears its midpoint, these items remain your primary consumables for character enhancement.
Based on the recent Diablo 4 Season 9 performance, we’ll provide a detailed explanation of why and how to farm Obducites.
This item is essentially an upgrade material for gear. Masterworking allows you to upgrade your gear by Obducites from rank 1 to 4 at a blacksmith, making gear affixes stronger. It is only applicable to Ancestral Legendary and Unique Items.
Obducites aren’t the only consumable items for Masterworking from ranks 1 to 4, Diablo 4 gold, Veiled Crystal, Rawhide, and Iron Chunk are also essential. However, aside from gold, the demand for Obducites increases the fastest with rank.
Therefore, when you first start farming gear that can be upgraded by Masterworking, you’ll need a large amount of Obducites to upgrade it as quickly as possible. Therefore, it’s recommended that you make Obducites your primary item farming target in Diablo 4 Season 9.
Initially, you could only obtain Obducites by running The Pit, but this was too limited and could potentially hinder your gear upgrade progress. Therefore, after Season 6, Obducites’ farming sources have become much more diverse.
Although this dungeon was released after Season 9, it’s essentially a chain of three regular Nightmare dungeons, which have been one of the primary Obducites farming locations since Season 6.
While Diablo 4 Obducites can typically be dropped by any enemy in a Nightmare dungeon, Escalating Nightmares is unique in that it grants combat buffs or debuffs to the next built-in dungeon by dungeon affixes before you enter it.
As a result, if you acquire Obducite-related affixes, or the affixes simply increase the amount of loot you receive before entering Escalating Nightmares, you’ll be able to obtain more Obducites than before.
However, to access this dungeon, you must obtain Escalation Sigils. The first Escalation Sigil can be obtained by completing the seasonal questline, and the more require clearing Horadric Strongrooms at Torment 1-4 difficulty and opening the caches obtained.
This seasonal built-in dungeon not only drops items that unlock Escalating Nightmares, but also a small number of Obducites. The entrance to a Strongroom will typically appear randomly while exploring a Nightmare dungeon.
After unlocking a Horadric Strongroom, you’ll need to use your Wayfinder to locate the dungeon’s portal entrance and defeat the surrounding guards to enter. The higher the difficulty and Wayfinder level, the faster you’ll find the portal.
In the dungeon, you’ll need to activate a Horadric Artifact Pillar and kill the enemies that appear to trigger the ritual. Afterward, continue clicking the artifact pillar in the new room to spawn more waves of enemies, earning more rewards, including Obducites.
In addition to loot, you can also collect Horadric Attunements during battles to redeem them for more rewards. Defeating the dungeon boss will grant you a Grand Horadric Cache, which can also yield Obducites.
As one of Diablo 4’s main dungeons, Kurast Undercity was released with Vessel of Hatred expansion, so using it to farm Obducites requires you to own this DLC.
This dungeon is also unique in that it’s timed, and the higher the difficulty and level, the shorter the time. However, if you manage to kill Afflicted Monsters, you can restore the time in varying increments.
However, to access this dungeon and farm Obducites, you need to get Tribute of Refinement to unlock it. Fortunately, this item can be obtained by clearing Nightmare dungeons and Infernal Hordes.
Infernal Hordes is a wave-based survival mode culminating in a unique boss battle. Your goal is to complete all waves and defeat Fell Council without using up all your resurrections, while also collecting Burning Aether to redeem Spoils of Hell chests.
These chests may contain gear, gold, and various crafting materials, including Obducites. To obtain sufficient Obducites through Infernal Hordes, you must slay more demons and collect more Burning Aether.
Each Infernal Hordes encounter has a 60-second timer, during which various events and demons may spawn. You don’t need to eliminate every demon on-screen before the timer expires; instead, you simply need to survive all the waves while collecting Burning Aether.
Because of the interconnectivity of unlocked items, you can actually run all the above dungeons or events continuously to maximize your Obducite farming efficiency within the limited timeframe.
This is the main information about Obducites farming in Diablo 4 Season 9. We hope it helps you enjoy the game!
Perhaps because the season mechanics themselves haven’t been particularly innovative, this year’s Diablo 4 seems to be making a habit of adding extra events during the seasons to keep you playing.
For example, there was March of the Goblins event in Season 7 back in March, Berserk crossover during Season 8, and Gift of the Tree event in Season 9 a few weeks ago.
While there’s no confirmed update for Season 10 yet, Diablo 4 is bringing March of the Goblins back to Season 9 to ensure you have enough Diablo 4 gold, gear, and items to start the next season.
With only a day or so left until the end of the event, if you’ve only recently started playing or haven’t achieved the desired results due to poor strategy, we’ll provide a guide for you.
This event first appeared as part of Diablo 4’s first anniversary celebration last year. Its engaging gameplay and generous rewards proved so popular among players that it’s been retained as one of Diablo 4’s “flash events.”
The six goblins available for hunting during the event are actually permanent in-game. You can encounter them during regular adventures or quests, and winning battles will still earn you gold or other rewards. However, they appear more frequently during the event.
The rarity and rewards dropped by each of the six goblins vary, ranging from common but essential gold and crafting materials to precious Mythic and Resplendent Sparks. The more, the better, so don’t miss out on even the goblins that offer more modest rewards!
The reward tracks for March of the Goblins event are entirely based on your personal progress, so if you want to earn your desired rewards, you must rely on your own hard work and cannot rely on the help of other players—who might even rob you of your loot.
Log in to Diablo 4 during the event, travel to Kyovashad, and then find Altar of the Goblin statue in front of Idania’s Rings & Amulets shop, marked by the white badge icon on the minimap.
Hovering your mouse over the statue will display the level of goblins you can track and the rewards you’ll receive for killing different goblins. From there, you can begin your goblin-hunting adventures across all areas of the game map!

Generally speaking, even the rarest goblins are not too difficult to kill in Diablo 4. The tricky thing about them is that they flee quickly once spotted, making them difficult to catch. With that in mind, we offer the following suggestions.
If you already have a lot of rewards from some goblins and don’t want to waste time on them, or if you want to farm specific goblins, it’s important to remember their physical characteristics. Otherwise, you might end up wasting time tracking the wrong goblin type.
After Season 7 update, the current goblin colors and drop rewards for March of the Goblins event are:
The two goblins that are easily confused are Curious Murl and Fancy Old Fedric, both of whom are purple. The difference in their colors can only be distinguished when you get close to them. However, because of the very low spawn rate of Fancy Old Fedric, you should be unlikely to encounter him.
Goblins will be indicated on your mini-map with a unique icon when they appear, allowing you to find them more quickly and avoid being lost in the midst of swarms of enemies.
While goblins can spawn anywhere during March of the Goblins, Helltides is a better choice because the enemy spawn density is generally higher during this event, making it more likely that you’ll encounter goblins.
However, be aware that you may encounter other, more dangerous enemies during an active Helltide, hindering your goblin-hunting progress. Therefore, be vigilant while utilizing powerful gear to protect yourself.
Another good goblin farming location is Fields of Hatred PvP location. If you prefer not to encounter too many or too powerful actual players there, you can reduce your chances of encountering enemy players by disabling cross-play.
Shrines are a special buff mechanic available in Season 9, and there are several types of shrines, one of which is Greed Shrines. They can spawn anywhere in the game, and activating them provides the following buffs for 30 seconds:
If you encounter and activate Greed Shrines while killing goblins, not only will you receive the above buffs, but they will also increase the chance of goblin spawns. Combined, this event promises countless rewards!
This concludes our guide to March of the Goblins, hoping to help you maximize your progress and rewards before the event ends! Have fun!
When Season 9 launched, Sorcerer and Spiritborn were the undisputed dominant classes. However, after adjustments in Patch 2.3.1, the class experience in Diablo 4 has become more balanced.
So, if you’re looking to play a new character now, other classes are also good choices. Of course, you still need to choose and craft the right build to maximize the power of each class.
Based on this, if you’re creating a Necromancer character, facing a wide variety of Necromancer builds, Blood Surge is actually a more reliable option in Season 9, especially if you combine it with Drain Vitality passive ability.
Below, we’ll first explain why Drain Vitality is so important and how it fits into Blood Surge Necromancer Build.
As one of Diablo 4 Necromancer’s passive skills, Drain Vitality primarily grants you a lucky hit, granting you a chance to gain additional Fortify upon hitting an enemy.
However, to trigger Drain Vitality, you must ensure you hit an enemy with your active blood skills. Drain Vitality then grants you a Fortify effect of 2.5% to 7.5% of your health, reducing the damage you take.
If you ultimately have an amount of Fortify equal to your health, your total damage taken can be reduced by up to 15%.
However, this skill is located on the fifth tier of Necromancer skill tree, meaning you’ll need to consume a considerable amount of skill points to gradually unlock additional skills until you “reach” Drain Vitality.
Luckily, earning skill points isn’t difficult. You typically earn them when you are farming Diablo 4 gold and character XP at the same time, or by completing quests issued by the reputation system.
While Drain Vitality is helpful in boosting this build’s effectiveness, its core skill is undoubtedly Blood Surge. Combined with other skills and gear, this build is highly effective in clearing groups of enemies or single-target attacks.
As for defensive mechanics, this build can boost health while stealing enemy health and heal itself with Blood Orbs. Additionally, you can curse enemies with Decrepify and Cursed Aura Aspect, reducing their damage.
Although Blood Surge Necromancer build’s overall effectiveness has decreased in Season 9 due to a significant damage reduction to Overpower, it’s still a good choice for clearing dungeons. Of course, it’s best to upgrade to a better build once you reach the endgame.
While Drain Vitality isn’t a panacea, it does provide a solid boost to Blood Surge build. When using Blood Attacks with this build and pairing it with the unique gloves Cruor’s Embrace, you can deal bonus damage from Coalesced Blood while also gaining a shield bonus.
In contrast, Blood Wave Build doesn’t rely on Drain Vitality to increase damage. Instead, you must continuously enhance this skill until you obtain Mutilator Plate to truly enhance the entire build.
It’s important to note that when unlocking the prerequisite skills for Drain Vitality, it’s best to prioritize skills that complement it, such as Coalesced Blood, which allows you to deal more damage while you’re healthy.
To maintain your health, you need to maintain 80% or more of your remaining health. If you already have a wealth of enhancements, Coalesced Blood may not be very useful, but if you’re in urgent need of additional boosts, it can be very helpful.
In addition to Drain Vitality and other related skills, crafting a Blood Surge Necromancer Build also requires other class mechanics and appropriate gear. We’ll explain each of these.
Book of the Dead, a Necromancer-exclusive mechanic, unlocks at level 5 and allows you to customize your available minions and how they’re deployed.
Since the primary purpose of Blood Surge build is to ensure you can sustain continuous enemy attacks, and Blood Surge itself causes enemies to scatter, using minions in this build is essentially a waste.
Therefore, it’s recommended to sacrifice them directly:
In addition to Cursed Aura Aspect, there are other aspects of the game that can benefit this build. As for how to obtain them in Season 9, it’s recommended to farm Helltides or gamble with Obols.
After acquiring reliable gear, besides improving your character, Diablo 4 allows you to enhance it by acquiring additional affixes, making it even more beneficial in combat.
Note that different gear slots are suited for different affix types. Here are some recommendations:
If you find the above information useful, try combining all the gear and skills, including Drain Vitality, to craft and enhance a Blood Surge Necromancer build! I wish you success!
As one of the leading ARPGs, it’s fair to say that Diablo 4’s performance since the start of 2025 has been rather lackluster: delayed DLC and a near-unchanging seasonal update format can make you tired of it.
While anticipation for the second expansion may keep you playing until next year, it’s more important to ensure that Diablo 4 doesn’t disappoint again in the second half of 2025.
While the game hasn’t yet revealed further details about Season 10, the final regular season of 2025, you’ll notice that Diablo 4 has recently made some changes during Season 9, which may be a sign of better service.
Based on this, we’ll introduce the major recent changes and events in the game and speculate on what changes might be coming in August and Season 10.
Approximately two weeks have passed since the release of Season 9’s previous patch, 2.3.1. To further optimize the seasonal experience, Diablo 4 released Patch 2.3.2 on July 29th. This update is available regardless of whether you own Vessel of Hatred.
Please note that Patch 2.3.2 primarily addresses bug fixes for general gameplay and does not include the class balance adjustments included in 2.3.1. However, we recommend keeping an eye on this update primarily because of its impact on dungeon experience.
Patch 2.3.2 primarily addresses issues related to Season progression and rewards, some Escalating Nightmares affixes, and skill mechanics, minimizing issues like missing Diablo 4 gold or incorrect gear quality when checking loot.
In addition, this patch improves overall game stability, performance, user interface, and visuals, ensuring a smoother than ever experience in Diablo 4 regardless of your device.
The following patch notes are worth noting:
Dungeon Bug Fixes:
Specific Combat Experience Bug Fixes:
This event was last held in March 2025, during Season 7. March of the Goblins event was popular for its simplicity and rich rewards, so Diablo 4 brought it back to the game to spark renewed enthusiasm for the lackluster Season 9.
March of the Goblins event was originally a special one-week event held in June 2024 to celebrate the game, but its high drop rate for Diablo 4 gold kept it in the game.
If you participated in March of the Goblins event, you’ll know that Diablo 4 has made significant improvements to it, with a wider variety of rewards and amounts. We expect this event to retain the same mechanics and gameplay.
Season 9 March of the Goblins event began at 10:00 AM PT on July 29th and will run until 10:00 AM PT on August 5th, approximately one week. During this time, the spawn rate of Treasure Goblins will be significantly increased across all world tier events.
You can track your progress by checking the goblin statue in Kyovashad, and have a chance to receive loot chests, treasure bags, and even rare items like Resplendent Spark.
Based on the schedule, Season 10 is likely to launch in mid-to-late September or early October, so Season 9 should at least provide a reliable base gameplay experience through August.
Besides bugs, the most common criticism of Diablo 4 recently has probably been the seemingly lower loot drop rate. Honestly, as a combat-and-loot-focused ARPG, while combat needs to be challenging, a low drop rate is only detrimental.
On the one hand, this will prevent you from properly powering up your character and unlocking lair boss hoards, and on the other hand, it will further disrupt the game’s item and gold trading markets.
Therefore, if Diablo 4 doesn’t launch other new activities with Season 9 in August, the most likely new measure will be adjusting loot drop rates. Otherwise, if this leads to a loss of players before Season 10 launches, it would be more harm than good.
I hope the above information is helpful for you as you play Diablo 4, and I wish the game continued success. Thank you for reading.
