Today, we have the Icy Shadow version 2. I’ve been having so much fun with this build and I’ve made a few changes that really make this build stand out.
We’ll be going over skills, play style, the skill tree, gear, and the Paragon Board.
The skills we’ll be using are Shadowstep, Dash, Twisting Blades, Shadow Imbuement, Smoke Grenade and Puncture with Combo Points as our specialization.
Smoke Grenade got a buff recently, going from 15% to 20% damage to enemies affected by it. And with the use of some aspects, this becomes an absolutely insane utility skill. Not only does it allow us to daze, it will freeze and give us a 43% damage multi that we can have up most of the time.
This build is on the squishier side. We want to take advantage of our Crowd Control and our Mobility to avoid getting hit too much. We do take up some defensive aspect slots with some utility aspects. But trust me, it is worth it.
When you’re diving into a large pack of Elites, use Dash and instantly drop your Smoke Grenade to daze and freeze, giving you plenty of time to finish them off. This way you can easily get a lot of Diablo 4 Gold.
Use Shadow Step when you get Crowd Control. Use Shadow Imbuement whenever it’s up. And use Dash to engage, reposition, and move around the map quickly.
Onto our skill tree, starting off with Puncture. Pick up Fundamental Puncture.
Max out Twisting Blades with Advanced Twisting Blades.
Siphoning Strikes did get a nerf recently, making it on a Lucky Hit, instead of always on Critical Strikes. So, our sustain has gone down tremendously because of that. But because of how much Crowd Control we have in this build, it does make up for it.
Pick up Shadow Step with Disciplined Shadow Step.
Then we should pick up Weapon Mastery and then Dash with Methodical Dash.
Pick up Smoke Grenade with Countering Smoke Grenade, giving us huge cooldown decreases and having that up more often for more dazes and freezes.
We should put one point into Exploit and then three points into Malice.
We should put one into Shadow Imbuement with Mixed Shadow Imbuement.
Then, we should put three points into Precision Imbuement, three points into Frigid Finesse.
Go ahead and max out Alchemist’s Fortune, Second Wind, Innervation, Impetus and Haste.
Finally, put one point into Adrenaline Rush and Close Quarters Combat.
Now, I do want to note that you can pick up Victimize here. It is fun to play with, but Close Quarters Combat just feels better with the Attack Speed and that 30% increased damage to Crowd Control because we’re always crowd controlling. It’s just nice to have that up.

Onto gear, stat priority, and aspects, start off with our armor.
For our helmet, go for Life, Armor percent, Cooldown Reduction, and either ranks to Shadow Imbuement or Basic Skill Attack Speed.
For our aspect, we’re using Frostbitten, giving us up to 25% increased Critical Strike Damage to Frozen enemies. And on top of that, it synergizes with Smoke Grenade, allowing it to also instantly freeze our targets. If you want to be more tanky, you can definitely swap Frostbitten out for Aspect of Might for some more damage reduction.
For our chestplate, look for Life, Damage Reduction, Damage Reduction from Close, and Armor percent with the Aspect of Explosive Verve. This just amplifies our Smoke Grenade and with the Lucky Hit cooldown, we have this Crowd Control Damage stem up very often.
For our gloves, get rings to Twisting Blades, Critical Strike Chance, Attack Speed and Lucky Hit chance. You can also go for Critical Strike Damage with Imbued Skills. But we don’t get much Lucky Hit anywhere else and we’re going to be using Icy Alchemist for the aspect. This got buffed in Season 1, giving us 25% chill instead of 20%, so we freeze a lot faster and more often.
For our pants, we want Life, Damage Reduction, Damage Reduction from Close, and Armor percent with the Aspect of Disobedience.
For our boots, we’re using Penitent Greaves. This is how we apply chill in order for Icy Alchemist to work.
For our weapons on our crossbow, we want Critical Strike Damage, Vulnerable Damage, Dexterity, and Core Skill Damage with, of course, Bladedancer’s Aspect. By the way, In Diablo 4, some Diablo 4 Items are very difficult to obtain. If you encounter such difficulties, you may wish to visit D4gold.com. There will be professional players to help you.
For our weapons on one hand, we have Condemnation. The extra 20% to 40% multi-on Combo Points just can’t be beat here. And on the other hand, I am currently using Asheara’s Khanjar. The amount of Attack Speed and Lucky Hit we get from this weapon allows us to proc Icy Alchemist more often. And with more Attack Speed, we get more activations out of the imbuement heart.
With the nerf took Critical Strike Damage on swords, giving up 14% Critical Strike Damage for 30% close and more Attack Speed makes daggers a little better in my opinion.
So, if you are not wanting to use Asheara’s Khanjar, go ahead and pick up a dagger with Critical Strike Damage, Vulnerable Damage, Dexterity, Core Skill Damage and the Edgemaster’s Aspect. You will hit a lot harder with this, but you also lose a lot of Attack Speed.
Lastly, I want to talk about jewelry.
For our amulet, we need to have cooldown reduction and damage reduction. For our third roll, we have some options. Frigid Finesse is the best for clear and Malice is a good all-rounder for both clear and boss damage. And for the last roll, you want either Dexterity percent, Armor percent, or Movement Speed, depending on what you feel you’re lacking.
For the aspect, we’re using Aspect of Expectant for that 15 to 30% increased damage when we’re alternating between Puncture and Twisting Blades.
As for our rings, we want Life, Critical Strike Damage, Crit Strike Chance and Vulnerable Damage.
For the aspects with one ring, we want Accelerating Aspect and the other with the Aspect of Umbral for energy sustain. I would also recommend getting a third ring with Energizing Aspect. It doesn’t have to be perfect by any means, but our energy sustain feels really bad when we’re fighting bosses without it.
For our gems, we want Rubies in our armor and Emeralds in our weapons.
At the moment, having the extra life feels better than running Topaz and with Shadow Step up so often, Topaz doesn’t feel super needed right now. And with Emeralds in our weapon, we have the extra Critical Strike Damage against Vulnerable Damage.
For the socket colors for the new Malignant Hearts, we want a Vicious, a Brutal and your last socket can be any color.
We’ll be using Tempting Fate for the huge crit damage boost. We’ll be using Revenge for the damage suppressed. This helps our survivability a lot and makes Smoke Grenade look super cool when we cast it. Lastly, we’ll be using the Vile Apothecary. With up to a 15% chance to attack with all imbuements and our insane attack speed, we can get Icy Alchemist to proc pretty reliably without even having Shadow Imbuement up.
Lastly, we have our Paragon Boards.
The glyphs that we’re using are Closer, Combat, Chip, Turf, Control, and Exploit.
The legendary nodes that we pick up are Tricks of the Trade, Cheap Shot and Deadly Ambush. This is the reason why we Aspect of Explosive Verve on our chestplate. So, our Smoke Grenade also counts as a trap skill, giving us the 20% from Smoke Grenade and on top of that giving us another 22 and a half percent increase to our Critical Strike Damage, allowing Smoke Grenade to just be an insane damage stem.
Other than that, we pick up some Rare and Magic nodes around the board, giving us even more Critical Strike Damage and Vulnerable Damage.
As a classic MMO game series, Diablo 4 always adds some interesting updates or new mechanisms and gameplay in the new season to bring freshness to your experience in each season. As the latest season, Season of Hatred Rising also does this.
It not only introduces new dungeons and enemies but also adds new difficulties for you to challenge, and adjusts the design of item quality. But among all the changes, there are two that are undoubtedly the most popular among players, the updated Paragon system and the new item Seething Opals.
Based on this, we will introduce the specific content of these two new features to you so that you can understand why they are so popular.
As soon as Seething Opals was launched in Diablo 4 Season of Hatred Rising, it became popular in the entire game community and became one of the most popular new features in Diablo 4 Season 6.
In the past, in Season 1, Diablo 4 introduced Malignant Hearts, a special item that provides benefits such as offensive, defensive, or utility enhancements. Season 2 added Vampiric powers as a new item, giving you buff such as cooldown reduction and extra damage. The companion Seneschal introduced in Season 3 will follow you on your adventures.
In addition, because of major changes to the base game, there were no new seasonal mechanics in Season 4, but Season 5 restored this tradition by adding the Infernal Hordes mode. In Season 6, Diablo 4 added new consumables called Seething Opals.
Seething Opals act like an elixir, and once activated, they will bring relevant benefits to the player for the next 30 minutes. There are five types of Seething Opals, which not only increase your chances of obtaining more conventional items such as Diablo 4 Gold, combat equipment, herbs, crafting materials, and gem fragments, but also give you a chance to obtain dropped Artificer’s stones, Runes, boss summoning items, or Infernal compasses.
Currently, there are three ways to get Seething Opals in Diablo 4 Season of Hatred Rising. They are to participate in the Hatred Rising event to earn event rewards, complete the season goals to improve the reputation of Zakarum Remnants, or complete certain season journey progress to get corresponding rewards. In the end, these rewards will all have Seething Opals.
Although it is not clear whether the game developers will keep Seething Opals forever, there are still many new content worth playing in the current season. Because besides the two most popular new features, Diablo 4 also added new passive skills and active skills to all classes in Season 6, made major changes in itemization, and introduced new Realmwalker enemies and added a new dungeon called Seething Real.
The most interesting thing is that a few players do not agree to let the Realmwalkers of Season 6 continue to stay in the game later, but as a new item related to it, they hope Seething Opals continue to exist after the end of Season 6.
While Seething Opals has been well received, it’s not the only new feature that has won over players. The new Paragon system is also very popular as a game mechanic that has been optimized in Season 6, and some players even consider it the “real MVP” of this season.
Apparently, this is because the Paragon system gives the endgame of Season 6 a much-needed sense of purpose and progress, which was not always evident in previous seasons. All this is actually thanks to the major changes the Paragon system has received in the new season, such as splitting characters and Paragon levels.
In Season 6, you will find that the game developers have not only modified statistics such as health and armor in the Paragon system, but also provided a new board for each of the 5 classes. These boards contain a Legendary node and additional Normal nodes respectively, and the related Paragon points have also increased from 200 to 300.
In the Rise of Hatred season, the Paragon system will be unlocked when you upgrade to level 50, and then you will get some corresponding Paragon points. These points can be used to fill in the nodes on the board, thereby unlocking more other nodes related to abilities, attributes, and character characteristics to help you improve your character’s strength.
Currently, the types of nodes in the game are Normal Paragon nodes, Magical Paragon nodes, Rare Paragon nodes, or Legendary Paragon nodes. In addition, there are some differences between different professions in terms of the node types provided by the Paragon system. Some professions have many rare Paragon nodes or legendary Paragon nodes to unlock, while others are mostly normal nodes.
In addition, the new Paragon system’s removal of magic Glyphs is also worth your attention, because this indicates that the game may add more interesting rare Glyphs to the system in the future, and use their power to make the Paragon system better serve your combat experience. Because Glyphs will also provide you with rewards or special gains.
It is worth noting that Glyphs are arranged in rank and alphabetical order in the game. If you want to know what each Glyph is used for, you need to check them one by one by hovering the mouse over each glyph.
After this introduction, I believe you have a deeper understanding of these two new features of Season 6. So why not enter the game and experience it while Season 6 is still in progress!
When you fight various enemies and bosses in Diablo 4, you will find that good equipment can often bring you unexpected combat benefits, and sometimes the special effects of some equipment can even reverse the situation at a critical moment.
There is such a type of equipment in Diablo 4. As items that have appeared in the early seasons, when they appear in DLC Vessel of Hatred, their power is still not to be underestimated, and they are not inferior to some new items. And the game makers are constantly optimizing and selecting them. Fists of Fate are one of them.
The special thing about Fists of Fate is that players can not only get combat bonuses by equipping it, but also directly build exclusive builds around it to give full play to its power. So we will introduce you to how to utilize it in this article.
Fists of Fate is an interesting and unique item in Diablo 4 series of games. Players sometimes call it Gacha gloves. As a glove-type armor, it is suitable for all classes in Diablo 4. In addition, it has unique properties and effects that make it different from other armors in the game, so it is loved by players.
In combat, Fists of Fate is not only compatible with builds that use a lot of lucky hits, but it can also be at the core of certain builds. Because of its high popularity, the game developers have been constantly enhancing it, and allowing the wearer to further give it more and better properties by consuming Diablo 4 Gold. Therefore, it is still one of the popular armors in Vessel of Hatred.
In Vessel of Hatred, the best way to get the unique armor is to defeat Torment boss in the level when entering Torment I or higher difficulty levels. So getting Fists of Fate, you need to find one boss, Beast in Ice, which usually appears in Glacial Fissure dungeon in the south of Kyovashad.
However, finding it doesn’t mean you can fight it right away. Like most world bosses in Diablo 4 series, you need to collect 12 Distilled Fears to summon Beast in Ice. Distilled Fears can usually be found or dropped in Nightmare Dungeons, Tree of Whispers caches, World Bosses, and Kurast Undercity. Some of them can also be obtained by fighting elite enemies or finding The Den.
If your game character is not high enough to challenge Beast in Ice, a lower-level alternative is to farm Blind Burrows dungeon. This dungeon is full of spiders, and killing these monsters has a higher chance of dropping Fists of Fate than killing other normal enemies. We also recommend playing Nightmare version of this dungeon as much as possible, so that you have an extra chance to get Fists of Fate after completing a level.
However, it is worth noting that after killing the spider, besides dropping Fists of Fate, other chest armor, foci, two-handed swords, and other types of items may also drop, which to a certain extent weakens the drop rate of Fists of Fate. Therefore, you need to continue to challenge until you get Fists of Fate.
Before understanding what builds are suitable for Fists of Fate, we first need to understand some of its basic bonus properties. According to the data, Fists of Fate can increase the wearer’s lucky hit chance by 1.0-51.8%, critical strike chance by 0.1-8.7%, and attack speed by 0.1-8.7%.
Among them, lucky hit has a maximum increase of 1.0-51.8% chance to cause random crowd control effects, and this effect can last for 2 seconds. Fists of Fate itself also have a unique effect, which is a 1% chance to cause 200-300% damage to random enemies.
As you can see, whether Fists of Fate can deal a lot of damage is mostly a matter of luck. It’s fun when it works, but when it doesn’t, it can be a gigantic waste of your time.
Since Fists of Fate is a universal unique item, it can be used in any builds of any class. However, because of its nature, it works best with fast attacks. If you combine Fists of Fate with builds that have high attack speed or fast-strike core skills, such as Whirlwind for Barbarians, Rapid Fire for Rogues, or Ice Shards for Sorcerers. By attacking fast enough, players can significantly increase the chance of Fists of Fate’s damage proc.
Also, if you equip Fists of Fate, consider building additional damage and crowd control properties for lucky hits. In DLC, lucky hits have a 52% chance to apply a random CC effect, which has a much stronger impact than some players think. And if you have taken advantage of these conditions, Fists of Fate will help you get more huge damage values in combat more easily.
Since Fists of Fate’s unique effect has maximum damage of 300%, this means you will deal about 150% damage on average. And now in DLC, it has been updated to a super strong glove armor with both critical chance, attack speed, and extra lucky hit chance bonus, so it is now even better and easier to use than before.
Of course, Fists of Fate’s reliance on RNG may make it not suit every player’s taste, so you can decide whether you need to get it according to your needs. I hope this article can help you play Vessel of Hatred. Thank you for reading.
As one of the most basic mechanisms of the game, class determines every aspect of Diablo 4 series. Whether it is the type of skills used by players in battle or the appearance and accessories they can wear, they are all related to class.
In addition, Diablo 4 also adds a unique mechanism to each of the five basic classes, making them more powerful and more class-featured on the original basis. For class Rogue, this mechanism is Specialization system.
As Diablo 4 is updated to Season 6, although Rogue’s Specialization system has always operated on the same working principle, it will also have some updates and optimizations with the update of the season. Based on this, we will introduce you to the key points of using Rogue Specialization in the latest season.
Among the five unique career mechanisms provided by Diablo 4 for players, Rogue Specialization system has some build-like characteristics despite its low customizability.
To use this mechanic, Rogues don't have to gain extra experience like Barbarians, nor do they have to collect Soul Offerings like Druids, Rogues just get three game-changing passive options to use their own Specialization mechanic.
In Rogue Specialization system, players have three Specializations - Combo Points, Inner Sight, and Preparation, each of which provides different benefits to players, but they cannot equip all three Specializations at the same time.
All three Specializations are unlocked when the player upgrades Rogue character to level 30. Before then, you can determine which Specialization best suits your play style to avoid wasting Diablo 4 Gold later in the game by using a Specialization that is not suitable for you.
At level 15, the first Combo Points Specialization can be unlocked. At level 20, Inner Sight Specialization is available, and level 30 will unlock Preparation Specialization. You can make a formal choice between them.
Before you can actually use these Rogue Specializations, though, you must complete the questline. At level 15, your quest log will be updated with the quest True Potential, for which you’ll need to enter Forsaken Quarry dungeon.
Once you defeat Bakira and complete the quest there, Combo Points Specialization will unlock. Once you’ve completed this initial quest, the game will automatically unlock additional Specializations at levels 20 and 30 without you having to complete new quests.
As for how to equip a Specialization, first you need to open the character/inventory menu and then click the shoulder button to switch to Specialization screen. Here, your currently available Specializations will be displayed, and you can select the one you want to activate it. And the use of Specializations is also more convenient than other class mechanics, as you can change it at any time during combat.
As you know, there are three options for Rogue Specializations, each of which provides different benefits to the player. Based on this, we will introduce the characteristics of each one to you.
After unlocking and using this Rogue Specialization, players will generate combo points when using basic skills, which will be consumed by core skills to enhance the strength of multiple skills or add other effects.
The available core skills include Barrage, Rapid Fire, Penetrating Shot, Flurry, and Twisting Blades, and each skill will be significantly enhanced when cast with combo points.
For example, Barrage and Rapid Fire can fire more arrows and increase damage; Penetrating Shot can double damage with only one combo point, and Flurry and Twisting Blades can provide huge damage boosts while providing attack and movement speed bonuses.
Inner Sight Specialization marks a random enemy with a purple icon, and when the player hits that enemy, Inner Sight gauge can be filled faster.
Inner Sight gauge is a new gauge that can be seen next to the regular energy gauge, and when it is fully filled, it will empty and completely fill the player’s energy reserves, granting the player Inner Sight effect, which is infinite energy and +25% critical strike chance. This effect will last for 4 seconds.
Once an enemy is killed or survives for more than 10 seconds after being marked, Inner Sight mark will transfer from one enemy to another without any negative effects on the player. In boss fights, Inner Sight mark will almost always stay on the boss, which means you can also complete energy recharge faster.
Preparation Specialization allows players to reduce the cooldown of Rogue’s ultimate ability by 5 seconds by using 75 energy, and this method can be used multiple times. In addition, using the ultimate ability completely resets the cooldown of all other abilities and provides the player with 15% damage reduction, which can even last for 10 seconds.
At first glance, the benefits provided by this Specialization may seem unremarkable, but players can use it to build and consume energy very quickly. Preparation is a Specialization worth cultivating, allowing you to use skills almost continuously, and because it can reduce a lot of cooldown time, making the ultimate skill a more viable option.
Before fighting, as a Rogue, you can choose the most suitable Specialization to use according to your needs and combat habits. I hope these suggestions and methods we give can help you then. I wish you have fun!
When playing MMORPG, players will find that combat is one of the most important parts of the game. Whether you are challenging some main quests to watch the main storyline or want to experience some casual gameplay, you may encounter enemies that need to be defeated anytime and anywhere.
Because in fact, for this type of game, allowing players’ game characters to upgrade faster by combat can allow them to continue to advance the game progress. As one of the classic series of MMO games, Diablo 4 naturally implements this concept.
In DLC Vessel of Hatred released on October 8, players still need to work hard to farm Diablo 4 Gold to get more excellent weapons and equipment to help their game characters upgrade and pass the level as soon as possible. Therefore, the higher the rarity of the equipment, the better.
Among all the equipment provided by Vessel of Hatred for players, legendary equipment above level 70 is undoubtedly the most powerful one. The combat benefits they can provide are far beyond the reach of ordinary equipment. Based on the feedback from most players, we found that playing Pit of Artificers event is the best way to get high-level equipment.
Based on this, we decided to introduce how to play Pit of Artificers event in DLC.
For now, Pit of Artificers event should be one of the best events to get legendary loot and quickly level up in Vessel of Hatred. Therefore, in order to get the highest level of legendary equipment as much as possible, you need to know how to participate in Pit of Artificers.
First you need to go to Cerrigar, Scosglen, and find Pit of Artificers obelisk west of the waypoint, and then enter it to start the event. However, there are requirements to enter Pit of Artificers. As a true end-game event, it is only available to players at the highest level, World Tier 4.
To do this, you first need to upgrade your game character to level 70 or above. Currently, world tier 2 is open to players of all levels. You can upgrade your character to level 50 before entering world tier 2 to better deal with Capstone dungeon.
After completing Capstone dungeon, you will be promoted to world tier 3. At world tier 3, you will enter the second Capstone dungeon, complete it, and upgrade to level 70 through various methods to unlock world tier 4. It is also important to note that world tiers can be changed when switching characters or using world tier statue.
After completing all of this, you will unlock the obelisk. You will then be directed to the nightmare dungeon above level 46. Completing this part of the dungeon will earn you a resource called Runeshards.
Runeshards will drop from completing most activities in Vessel of Hatred, and it is also required to complete Pit of Artificers. As a rare resource, you need to consume it to enter the dungeon of Pit of Artificers Obelisk.
The dungeon usually takes 15 minutes to complete. If you want to enter it again and again, you will need to use a corresponding number of Runeshards each time. Fortunately, you can earn Runeshards from almost every endgame event, including the following:
Pit of Artificers is actually a world tier 4 dungeon for players who are looking for the best and fastest way to collect high-level gear and upgrade it to the highest level.
Once you have enough Runeshards to use them to enter the randomly generated dungeon, you will have 15 minutes to defeat enemies and fill a slot to summon the boss. Once the boss is defeated, it means that you have completed the dungeon at the current level.
It is worth noting that defeating the boss faster will unlock higher levels of Pit. The faster you complete the task, the more levels you will unlock. There are currently more than 60 difficulty levels in Pit of Artificers, but we don’t recommend blindly pursuing the highest level. You should find the way to farm high-level equipment and the difficulty level of Pit that best suits your rhythm.
If you want to farm legendary equipment, gradually upgrade in Pit of Artificers until you reach Tormented Difficulty 1. You need to reach it to get better loot. After that, you need to continue to farm Tormented Difficulty 1 until you can safely complete this level and higher difficulty levels in 2-3 minutes.
After reaching here, you can actually get a lot of equipment above level 70, so there is no reason to challenge the highest level unless you really like challenging high difficulty. In addition. You can also throw unwanted loot into the blacksmith’s shop and then continue collecting until you get the equipment and items you really want.
The above is the method we introduced to you on how to get legendary equipment above level 70 by participating in Pit of Artificers. I hope it can help you.
It has been more than a month since the release of the latest season of Diablo 4 series, Season of Hatred Rising, so the progress of the season is approaching the mid-term.
During this period, players may have passionately enjoyed the exciting battles, or they may have been troubled by the lack of Diablo 4 Gold to obtain better props. But no matter what, the game will usher in a mid-term patch.
In this transition period, besides making some preparations for the mid-term patch, players can also make a brief review of the experience of Season 6 over the past month to avoid making some mistakes in the second half of the season.
So how can you further improve your Season of Hatred Rising experience based on the new patch and the first half of Season 6? Let us provide you with some ideas.
At the beginning of the release of Season 6, you will find that compared with Season 5, the new season not only has some regular optimization updates but also adds a lot of new season activities for players to participate in, enriching the player’s gaming experience.
Although there have been some issues with Season of Hatred Rising since its release, such as an unbalanced difficulty setting and errors in the cooperative mode of some activities. However, the game developers have always been committed to serving players and have been actively fixing these defects. This also makes players full of confidence and expectations for the second half of the new season.
As the mid-season patches approach, Diablo 4 game community is increasingly looking forward to these patches. Since the release of the Vessel of Hatred expansion and the official launch of Season 6, players have been enjoying a relatively stable gaming experience, although there have been some problems during the period. However, the game developers have been proactively launching various patches to correct obvious errors in the game to further improve the gameplay.
If you logged into the game last week, you will find that some patches were released for Season 6 last week. Their role focuses on balancing the intensity of activities related to the season, while introducing some optimizations that can help improve the quality of life of game characters. The upcoming mid-season update is expected to bring more extensive adjustments, as well as more important enhancements and fixes.
Since Season of Hatred Rising is known for its well-balanced gameplay, players are eager to see how the mid-season patch will take the game experience to the next level. With recent adjustments to the game’s mechanics and changes to World Tier system, fans of Diablo 4 are hoping that the patch will further enrich Diablo 4’s complex world.
In a recent announcement, the game’s developers announced plans for a campfire chat developer livestream on Tuesday, November 12 at 11 a.m. Pacific Time. During the event, the development team will discuss what players can expect in the mid-season patch.
The chat event will be held across multiple platforms, including YouTube and Twitch, and will include a question-and-answer session for the audience. If you want to get the latest news about the patch, be sure to follow the livestream.
Although the game’s developers have stated that the mid-season patch will make major improvements to Season 6, there are still many ways for players to help enhance the gaming experience on their own. Here are some tips and suggestions based on this.
A build is often the difference between a player getting an advantage in battle and a player getting an advantage in battle. So if you want to enhance your gaming experience, you’d better optimize your build as much as possible. By combining different skills and attributes into your build, you can find a play style that suits you and improves the combat effectiveness of your game character.
World Tier System is a key feature of Diablo 4 that allows players to adjust the difficulty of the game according to their skill level. Therefore, we recommend that you switch levels to find the mission difficulty that best suits your current character’s build and equipment level, so that you can get better loot more smoothly.
After joining Diablo 4-related forums, subreddits, or Discord servers, you can share insights, seek advice, and participate in group activities. And the upcoming Campfire Chat live broadcast on November 12 will also be held on some of these platforms, which will be a great opportunity for you to interact with developers and other players.
Diablo 4 series of games often introduces a quality of life improvements with each patch release. Please stay informed of these changes, such as adjustments and optimizations to inventory management or skill allocation. Being prepared for this in advance can help your game character upgrade more smoothly.
Season of Hatred Rising brings a variety of new seasonal activities and challenges. By participating in these activities and tasks, you will obtain unique rewards and experience the freshness of seasonal games, thus ensuring a good seasonal experience.
For all Diablo 4 players, equipment is the key item that determines the power of your game character. The more powerful the equipment, the more unstoppable your character will be in battle. So we recommend that you remember to check your equipment regularly and upgrade the items with the crafting materials you get. Also, notice the drop of new equipment to maintain your competitive advantage.
Through these introductions, I believe that you will be able to improve your gaming experience in the new season after the release of the mid-term patch. Thank you for reading.
In Diablo series of games, class is the starting point for players to create and use their own game characters. No matter what appearance you give to the character, or how you want him/her to perform in the actual game, it is based on the class you choose for him/her.
Class often determines what type of skills, equipment, and weapons your game character can use, and therefore determines what role you will play in the game battle. Different classes are suitable for players with different preferences and gaming habits, so almost everyone will be more cautious when choosing a class.
In order to ensure the freshness of the game, the makers of Diablo series of games have been adding new classes from the first game to the present, such as the Necromancer added in Diablo 3, and the latest class Spiritborn in this DLC Vessel of Hatred. There is no doubt that they all brought novel and interesting experiences to players when they were first launched.
So in the subsequent game process, will Diablo 4 continue to add new classes in Vessel of Hatred? Or will it also be released with the next new expansion? Let’s make some bold predictions.
If you have already played this expansion or watched the related game videos on some websites, you will know that at the end of the narrative of Vessel of Hatred, the mortal body of Akarat, Shepherd of Light was given to Mephisto by Eru, and was later corrupted by Mephisto and became Lord of Hatred’s new vessel.
Although this part of the story in DLC has been controversial for its open ending and anticlimactic plot, it still provides a clear direction for the development of the game’s story. Because all signs point to the fall of light in the end, and the evil dark forces begin to stir. And these are actually setting the tone for the story update of the next expansion of Diablo 4.
We guess that the next expansion may present a darker and more desperate world, because in Vessel of Hatred, the once incorruptible Akarat himself has been taken away by Mephisto. These signs indicate that the difficulty of the game may increase in the future. Without a new class that adapts to the new DLC, players may not earn Diablo 4 Gold by winning various battles.
However, Akarat is still alive in some form, as confirmed by his promise to Neyrelle that she will see him again, and the end of the story of Vessel of Hatred hints at the return of Tyrael. All of this shows that although the forces of evil will make a comeback, the forces of justice are not completely gone and will return in some unexpected way for players. And these indicate the possibility of the type of a new class in the next expansion.
Compared to other MMO games, Diablo 4 has been lacking the classic “sword and shield” class in this type of game since its release, such as Holy Knight type. Therefore, many people have always asked the game makers to add a class of this type in Diablo 4, but this has aroused the rebellious psychology of the game makers, and no decision has been made to add a “sword and shield” class so far.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that a Holy Knight Class can’t exist in Diablo 4 in the future, especially given the overall narrative direction of Diablo 4 and the types of classes that the series has introduced in the past. And the fact that the game developers have not yet expressed their views may also be that they are planning to introduce more complex classes rather than simple traditional classes.
In the past, both Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 introduced some kind of Holy Knight Class. Diablo 2 had Paladin Class, and Diablo 3 eventually introduced Crusader Class. For Diablo 4, if game producers want to introduce a Holy Knight Class, there are already some templates to refer to, and they just need to redesign it according to the new class standards.
In addition, since the story of Vessel of Hatred foreshadows the return of Tyrael, Mephisto may also extend his claws to the entire game world again, so a Holy Knight Class that can resist Mephisto may be exactly what you need later.
It is based on these existing facts in Vessel of Hatred that we boldly predict that Diablo 4 may launch a Paladin or Crusader class as a new class in the next new DLC. And it needs to have some unique characteristics to avoid becoming a substitute for other classes in the end. Although we cannot judge how the story of Diablo 4 will develop in the future, the facts show that Holy Knight Classes like Paladin or Crusader may be about to appear.
Of course, these are just some of our inferences based on Vessel of Hatred. The specific information about the new class still needs to wait until the game maker releases official news. However, it is certain that Diablo 4’s class innovation will not stop at Spiritborn. After all, players always want to play a brand new class.
