It’s easy to feel like that you’ve hit a wall if you don’t understand how the various systems in Diablo 4 deal controlled damage. We have to break it down to do more damage and get a chance to get stronger. As long as you have a good leveling ability, level 1 to 50 should be a breeze.
The main reason builds are called leveling builds or endgame builds is that they scale differently. Leveling builds are strong in their own right at their baseline. Endgame builds often rely on unique Diablo 4 Items or Legendary Aspects found only in endgame to go live. Once you’ve discovered some powerful Aspects for your leveling builds, press left-click to pin them to your map.
Once you’ve completed the dungeon, you’re ready to leave your Imprint Aspect behind. I recommend putting them on your rings or amulets as we replace them with the least frequent.
During the endgame phase, your damage can easily fall behind the enemy’s strength. Because your chance of damage starts with your skill. So it’s important to think about where your primary sources of damage are coming from.
You should also check out Status Effects and Crowd Control, for effects like Chill and Ctun or Vulnerable. You need to remember these for collaborating later.
Also, passive skills do increase damage and you need to get as many of these as possible. You’ll also want to make sure you get Renown, as this will give you an extra 10 skill points. And Legendary Aspects are another enormous opportunity to increase damage. It can add or change damage types, opening up new possibilities for your build.
There are two primary sources of Legendary Aspects, Codex of Power and Legendary items drops. If you print Legendary Aspect from Codex of Power. Every time a Legendary item drops, it will have a Legendary Aspect and roll randomly between the lower and upper bounds.

Equipment usually has 5 rarities, namely Common, Magic, Rare, Legendary and Unique. These rarities determine the number of Affixes. And Affixes is the next thing you need to focus on getting stronger. Your goal is to have as many Affixes as possible and find one that works for your build.
You need to go to Occultist for this weapon Enchant. This will roll an Affix at random, but once that Affix is changed, you will only be able to use that Affix. But be aware that each roll will increase your Diablo 4 Gold cost.
These Affixes work for most builds. All gear types can also roll primary stats or all stats, which is also important for damage. Other armors also have rolling skill level bonuses. So you need to pay attention to the damage effect in Damage Buckets.
Depending on your build, you’ll want to distribute your damage multipliers among these Damage Buckets. Because these Damage Buckets have exponential growth potential.
Paragon is another avenue that can help you ramp up your damage quickly. This is unlocked at level 50 and you will get 4 Paragon Points per level. Also, Renown system gives you an extra 20 Paragon Points, which is very helpful.
You can also upgrade items at Blacksmith or Jeweler. Each upgrade will increase the item’s strength by 5 points. This equates to a 5% increase in all of its stats with each upgrade, up to a maximum of 25%.
Next, you need to find a gem that suits you and insert it into your weapon. Finally, collecting each Altar of Lilith adds a negligible amount to the primary stat, but it’s important for early leveling.
Let’s summarize how to do more damage. Skills are the basis of damage types, and passive skills increase damage. Legendary Aspect opens up, builds possibilities and increases your damage. When transitioning to the new World Tier, you can use Codex of Power to fill in the gaps in your Aspect.
Don’t forget to look for items with more advanced Legendary Aspect for more damage. In Paragon system, plan an efficient path that maximizes your rare glyphs and collects legendary and rare nodes. Complete Renown to get more Skill Points and Paragon Points.
Refactor your builds as necessary to keep your damage distribution. Visit Blacksmith or Jeweler to increase the stats of your gear by 25%. Use gems as a bonus for your most used damage types. The key to ultimately doing more damage is finding the best synergy between all these sources of damage.
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!
Usually, the launch of a new class can always cause a new round of sensation in the game community in ARPG represented by Diablo 4, because it means that you can experience new skills, gear and decorations.
Therefore, Spiritborn launched by Diablo 4 through DLC last year also caused heated discussions. Although some players soon believed that Spiritborn was too powerful and destroyed the balance of the game, causing the class to be weakened from Season 7, it is still very popular.
As time progresses to the eve of the launch of Season 9, the previously speculated new class possibilities have not been realized, so Spiritborn is still the freshest Diablo 4 class.
Not only that, according to the performance of 2.3.0 PTR, after three seasons of continuous adjustments, this class has the hope to dominate Diablo 4 again in Season 9 on the premise of class experience balance. Next, we will analyze why we say this to you.
Although Diablo 4 will adjust each class according to the changes in the playable content of the season, it is usually based on the newly added unique items or skills that cause the game environment to be unbalanced. Conventional basic skills are rarely changed significantly.
On this basis, for the new dungeons and bosses added in Season 9, many of the main skills of Spiritborn can still play a reliable lethality under the right casting occasions and builds, including:
As can be seen from the effects of some skills, the types of damage output by Spiritborn include poison and thorns, which can help you earn more Diablo 4 gold faster through combat through powerful group damage.
Based on this, the mechanism of adjustment of Season 9 allows you to utilize the new top-level build, Poison Thorns Build, which focuses on these two types of damage by playing as Spiritborn.
Although this build is not new, in Season 9, it will be more reliable while following the standard settings, combining seasonal power and new unique items.
Once in battle, this build will pull enemies in with skills such as Vortex, and utilize skills such as Scourge and Toxic Skin to poison them when they attack you. It can also cause further damage to enemies attacking you with thorns.
The combat style of this build is to defeat enemies by approaching them and utilizing passive effects. But on the other hand, the closer distance will also increase your risk of being attacked by enemies, so if you choose this build, it is best to equip reliable armor and master defensive skills such as Armored Hide.
In addition, Quill Volley Build, one of the classic Spiritborn builds, can continue to play a role in Season 9. Its damage value, mobility and tank ability are very strong, provided that you can match it with reliable gear, such as Balazan’s Maxtlatl, which will be introduced to you soon.
Season 9 adds a new unique item for each class, and further optimizes them based on actual combat performance in 2.3.0 PTR to ensure that the benefits obtained by each class are basically balanced.
Among them, the new unique item for Spiritborn is Balazan’s Maxtlatl. The pants can be said to be customized for Poison Thorns Build, because it allows you to deal 200-300% thorn damage and 100% poison damage to close enemies with each attack.
In addition, if you can deal retaliatory thorn damage to the enemy on this basis, the poison damage output will be increased to 300% within 5 seconds.
If you can, you can also pair Balazan’s Maxtlatl with Razorplate and Wound Drinker to utilize the synergy to continue to increase the damage output of thorns and poison.
Season 9’s seasonal power Horadric Spells include Catalysts, Infusions, and Arcana. You can combine them according to your needs to craft the spell that suits you best. For Spiritborn, the best Horadric Spells combination is:
I believe the above content is enough to drive you to play as a Spiritborn in Season 9, but the prerequisite for obtaining this class is that you have Vessel of Hatred. Considering that the next DLC will be launched next year, it is completely worth it to start now!
The official release date of Diablo 4 Season 9 is getting closer and closer. Whether you are fully prepared to welcome it or not, at least the game itself is still committed to making the new season better on the eve of release.
I believe you should have learned about the new playable content through 2.3.0 PTR, but you should also notice through the performance of the PTR that some changes in the inherent mechanism have not made the game better.
In order to ensure that the official experience of the new season will not be affected, Diablo 4 released a new and more comprehensive Season 9 preview on June 25, which not only modified the unsatisfactory parts in the PTR, but also added a small part of new content to improve the new gameplay.
Based on this, this time we will mainly introduce you to the new changes brought by the new unique items added to each class, as well as the relics related to the boss Astaroth.
As you know, every season, Diablo 4 will adjust the strength of existing classes to ensure that they can maintain balance in the new season mode. But not every adjustment is perfect, at least for 2.3.0 PTR.
Therefore, before the launch of Season 9, the game adds different degrees of buffs to the new unique items of each class, giving you the opportunity to earn enough Diablo 4 gold and XP in the early stage of Season 9 to smoothly enter the latter stages.
Generally speaking, Diablo 4’s class mechanism adjustments will not target those regular skills (unless there are more fatal problems), but will optimize the newly added parts, so the new unique items that appear in almost every season have become “regular visitors” of adjustments.
The item added to Barbarian in S9 is Hooves of the Mountain God. As a pair of boots, it originally has the following affix effects:
The new change is to change the radius range value of the last item to 150, allowing you to cause damage to enemies in a wider range.
As a class that has been ignored for many seasons, Druid is still repeatedly weakened in 2.3.0 PTR, causing many Druid players to feel dissatisfied. Therefore, the game has made the following changes based on its new item, Rotting Lightbringer:
Affix changes:
Unique power comprehensive changes:
The optimized Rotting Lightbringer will cause Pulverize to form a puddle when there are no puddles around, causing poison damage equivalent to 200-600% of normal damage over 7 seconds.
In addition, Pulverize will cause all nearby puddles to splash damage equivalent to 20-60% of their total damage in and around their area. And the size of the affected puddle and its splash area will increase as the radius of Pulverize increases.
The new unique item for this class is The Hand of Naz, which has three unique powers, the last of which is that Skeletal Arch-Mages will teleport you to a safe area when attacked, and their attacks will occasionally shatter on impact, dealing 50-100% bonus damage to the target and up to 3 additional targets.
On top of that, the new changes not only shorten the time between attacks that shatter this effect by 50%, but also make Skeletal Arch-Mages unlockable for 1 second after teleporting, and slightly increase the size of Arch-Mages.
The changes to this class are relatively few, mainly removing the mechanism that consumes health when utilizing Flurry when equipped with the helm Deathmask of Nirmitruq.
Based on this, the mechanism of increasing Flurry damage by consuming health no longer works, but Flurry can directly increase your attack speed by 50% for 5 seconds.
As one of the most anticipated classes in Season 9, the changes to Sorcerer include two affixes to its unique item Ophidian Iris:
Like Sorcerer, due to its outstanding performance in the PTR, Spiritborn has also received fewer changes, only reducing the thorn damage that Balazan’s Maxtlatl can cause from 200-300% to 100-150%, to ensure that it is not much stronger than the weaker classes.
This relic is not strictly a new item that can be obtained, but is related to the main quest line of Season 9, The Embers Yet Smolder. As you know, the final boss of the season is Astaroth, so your main quest goal is to defeat him.
The story of Season 9 takes place in Cerrigar, where you will meet a Druid named Bryona. In the past, a Horadric mage named Donan sealed Astaroth, but also left behind many troubles, including corrupted blood relics.
So what you have to do is to help Bryona deal with these troubles, find and destroy the corrupted blood relics before the evil forces get them, to avoid extra difficulties when solving the final boss.
In addition to the above content, the game has also added many details to Season 9. You can experience them one by one after the official launch of the season! Let’s look forward to it together!
In any season of Diablo 4, the main task of players is always to quickly level up a new season character to obtain higher-level and quality items and enter the endgame as soon as possible to complete more challenging battles.
Diablo 4 Season 9, Sins of the Horadrim, due to hit the game on July 1, will also introduce big changes to Nightmare Dungeons, new seasonal mechanics, and more lucrative World Tiers that can be unlocked by players who reach the level cap of 60.
With this in mind, this guide will categorize existing classes and corresponding builds into 3 tiers: S/A/B, based on multiple aspects, including initial strength, survivability, area of effect ability, ease of use, and reliance on gear. You can make the right choice depending on your exploration needs and gaming style.
In the first few seasons of Diablo 4, the power of leveling up Necromancer, who could summon minions to fight, was obvious to everyone, and the developers have not weakened it on a large scale in this new season, so it can still be the best class to quickly pass through the leveling stage.
Among the builds you can choose for Necromancer, the build with Bone Splinters and Corpse Explosion as the core can make you dominate the combat and exploration in the early game.
After reaching the middle and late game, you can use the skills that can summon skeletons to allow you to continuously cast damage to the enemy in a safe combat environment, or use Blood Surge and Blight to obtain better range damage and endurance.
It’s worth noting that the above builds require less gear of higher rarity and quality, so the loot and Diablo 4 Gold you farm from regular exploration should be enough to reach the level cap pretty easily.
Recommended Builds
Although Diablo 4 has been very aggressive against Spiritborn for two seasons, it still has some excellent leveling builds in Season 9. For example, the high burst damage, long range, and high mobility of builds focusing on Quill Volley or Stinger skills are very suitable for farming a lot of experience points for fast leveling.
Not only that, the skills possessed by Spiritborn are very adaptable, and they can provide you with strong crowd control and survivability after you unlock the first core skill. In addition, the unique Spirit Guardian buff will give you a passive skill, and you only need to invest a small amount of to have a very comprehensive build.
Recommended Builds
With high lethality, high attack speed, and high mobility, Rogue has high leveling potential in Diablo 4 Season 9 as well. Not only that, Rogue has many build options to meet the needs of different players.
For example, Twisting Blades and Flurry are more suitable for challenging some single enemies; Barrage is very effective in long-range against some group enemies; and players with prime requirements for mobility can choose Dash and Shadow Step as the core of the build.
However, since its skill rotation requires players to have high dynamic capture ability and temporary adaptability, it is slightly inferior to the first two classes.
Recommended Builds
While Barbarian isn’t as fast at leveling as S tier options, it can still give you an edge in certain combat situations. For example, Upheaval lets you deal massive area damage and has powerful synergies with Warcry skills like Rallying Cry.
Not only that, a Barbarian build focused on Double Swing and Hammer of the Ancients gives you very impressive survivability and damage against some single-target bosses. In addition, you can add Weapon Expertise to it to make it even more powerful.
Recommended Build
Although both are spell-casting classes, Sorcerer’s fast leveling ability is far inferior to Necromancer’s. This is because you are often limited by the mana shortage when using this type of character.
So if you want to rely on Sorcerer builds that can cast different elemental damage to level up, you may need to spend more Diablo 4 Gold on it to keep your mana in a stable and safe range.
Such a build equipped with skills such as Chain Lightning or Fireball can provide you with continuous damage and area control capabilities, which is important for farming a lot of loot and experience in the early and mid-term.
Recommended Builds
The last and least suitable class for fast leveling is Druid. Although its Pulverize and Shred skills have strong damage capabilities, these skills have extremely long cooldowns and very complicated upgrade paths in the early game.
And the companion skill Landslide can only play enough fast clearing potential with Earth skills, but it requires you to unlock Legendary Aspects, which are very difficult to farm, before you can use it. So this also leads to it not having an optimal leveling build in Diablo 4 Season 9.
These are the best classes and builds for fast leveling in Diablo 4 Season 9 Sins of the Horadrim. We will continue to monitor the best builds for passive skills, gear, and the latest Horadric spells, and will announce them when the new season begins. We wish you all a great game!
Dissatisfaction with the content of Diablo 4 has actually been present in the game community since Season 6, and the second DLC release postponed to 2026 will make you want to see more changes in the theme game.
According to 2.3.0 PTR and other information, Season 9 will meet you on July 1st and will bring new seasonal powers, dungeons and bosses. Although these contents are new, the mechanisms they rely on are actually the same old ones.
This will inevitably make you pay attention to the game mechanisms other than the playable content. After all, their optimization can also improve your Diablo 4 experience from another aspect, such as the auction house that some people have wanted to experience since Season 8.
In fact, most ARPGs have similar functions. For Diablo 4, if it has this function, its role should mainly provide you with a channel to sell excess items to earn Diablo 4 gold, or to exchange unique items that you find difficult to farm with other players.
The auction house was added to Diablo 2 and 3 in the same series. It has to be said that this provided a lot of convenience for players at the beginning.
Because for low- and medium-level players, earning gold is much easier than farming high-level items, but these items are essential for challenging the endgame, and the auction house can make it easier for them to get the items they want.
Since Season 7, Diablo 4’s loot drop rate has been criticized. You will find that the drop rate of many key items is always very low. Although the development team has made adjustments later, it is hard not to feel that it is just a superficial effort.
Therefore, if the new playable content can no longer arouse more interest, if Season 9 adds an auction house, it will definitely make it easier for you to complete the new season challenge and re-stimulate your motivation and interest in playing Diablo 4.
Although no game feature can satisfy everyone, the fact that the auction house was eventually removed from Diablo 2 and 3 shows that its problems can no longer be solved by simply fixing it.
After the initial craze, you will soon find that this convenience will cause more serious problems. Players will become more and more dependent on the auction house and lazy to farm items on their own, resulting in the normal gameplay being ignored and the participation of the game will decline.
More importantly, the auction house in Diablo series allows RMT. This not only promotes the proliferation of transactions and greatly undermines the balance of the game, but also leads to more security issues unrelated to the game, such as fraud or reselling.
In addition, the lack of content and aggressive monetization practices shown by Diablo 4 during Season 8 Berserk collaboration will also disappoint you, so that it is difficult to expect improvements in the game in terms of “trading”.
Based on this “lesson”, it is normal that some players do not want Diablo 4 Season 9 to change through the auction house. But this problem is not incurable.
If the auction house in the same series is a lesson of failure, then Diablo 4 can also try to learn similar functions of other successful ARPG operations. After all, no one stipulates that all Diablo games must adopt the same set of mechanisms.
Take Last Epoch as an example. The game launched Season 2 in April this year and competed fiercely with Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2 in a short period of time.
First of all, the transactions of Last Epoch auction house are completely based on gold in the game. In this way, on the one hand, it can minimize malicious transactions (after all, the value of game gold itself is not very high), and on the other hand, gold farming is also based on game content, so as not to cause the game itself to be ignored.
In addition, no matter what items you exchange with others in Last Epoch auction house, you can only trade once. Although this seems a bit rigid, it can also effectively prevent resale.
Therefore, if Diablo 4 will not make major innovations or changes to the game mechanism in the next few seasons, it can completely learn from the successful experience of other games and transform the auction house and add it to the game.
Based on the new seasonal content of this season and the new dungeons Nightmare Dungeon Escalation and Horadric Strongrooms, several important items have also been derived, such as various Horadric Jewels and Escalation Sigil that are essential for opening dungeons.
Therefore, if Season 9 wants to add the auction house function later, these key items can be used as goods, allowing you to exchange the items by special seasonal currencies, which can be obtained by consuming Diablo 4 gold.
In this way, a trading chain based entirely on the game itself can be formed in the game, making it as convenient as possible for you to experience the new season without affecting the game participation.
In short, no matter what the previous Diablo auction house was like, it can be improved through transformation and play a reliable role in Diablo 4, rather than completely denying it because of past mistakes.
In order to make progress as quickly as possible in the new Diablo 4 season, you not only need to understand all the new content and changes in the season, but also need to find powerful and suitable builds based on this.
Season 9 will be launched on July 1, 2025. If you plan to show your skills in this season, you need to know in advance whether the strength of each class build has changed after entering S9. Because if the builds you insist on utilizing are weakened in this season, your efficiency in farming Diablo 4 gold will inevitably be affected.
Based on this, this time we selected those builds that have performed well in recent Diablo 4 seasons, and arranged and introduced them from S tier to B tier according to their performance in 2.3.0 PTR, and predicted their official effects in Season 9.
It turns out that if the skill is not weakened after Season 9 is officially launched, then Hydra Sorcerer will definitely be the best build of this season. Hydra itself is a skill based on fire damage, but in the PTR, the game not only enhances the skill effect, but also launches a new unique item Ophidian Iris that can be paired with it.
Compared with the original single fire damage, the current Hydra allows you to combine different types of spells to enhance it, and you can further increase the damage output by increasing the number of heads of the hydra summoned by the skill.
As for Ophidian Iris, it not only increases all your elemental resistance by 30%, but also ensures that you always summon a three-headed Hydra, whose attacks will explode on impact. Each additional head of the hydra increases the damage caused by 50-100%.
It can be foreseen that through the synergy of this core item and other necessary gear, you can utilize Hydra Sorcerer Build in any way you like and earn more loot.
It’s easy to see that Sorcerer will be the most popular class in Season 9, as not only is there a new Hydra build available, but one of the classic builds, Lightning Spear, is still available this season.
Lightning Spear, when paired with the right unique item, can provide powerful AOE damage and crowd control effects through summoning gameplay and a lot of critical hit scaling, and can quickly locate bosses in boss battles.
It’s worth noting that a large part of the power of this build in Season 8 relied on amulet Fractured Winterglass, so it is expected that you will still need to equip this item in Season 9. Or you can try other item combinations.
This tier is actually a collection of most Spiritborn builds. The reason why this class is so adaptable in Season 9 is mainly due to the addition of the new unique item Balazan’s Maxtlatl.
In addition to the basic stats, this item deals 200-300% of your Thorns damage to melee enemies every time you attack, and additionally poisons them over 3 seconds. If you utilize Thorns to counterattack, the poison damage will increase over 5 seconds.
With this powerful damage output, no matter what Spiritborn builds you plan to utilize in S9, as long as you have Balazan’s Maxtlatl equipped and can deal Thorns damage, you can deal with most enemies without even farming additional Mythic.
Honestly speaking, Necromancer builds are not worth entering A tier in terms of overall power, because many class-related mechanics have been nerfed in this season, making most available Necromancer builds relatively fragile.
However, in comparison, the damage output of Blood Bone Spear and Blood Wave builds is still very good. So if you are good at playing Necromancer and can farm gear that can enhance defense and life, you can also try to continue to utilize them.
Druid and Rogue, which we will introduce later, both performed relatively mediocre in Season 9, so even the best builds they could have for this season were only ranked in the B tier.
Poison Pool Druid Build mainly deals poison damage to enemies through the skill Pulverize and the new unique item Rotting Lightbringer.
In Season 6, these two builds, especially Dance of Knives, made Rogue shine. But with the adjustments and changes in the seasons, although they are still reliable for Rogue, the overall build strength cannot be compared with other class builds.
If you are only looking for Rogue experience, you can continue to play them in Season 9, but if you want to get more gold and gear as soon as possible and advance the game progress, S/A tier builds will be better.
The above is the ranking of the builds expected to be available in Season 9. You can decide which one to utilize based on your needs. Have fun!
