When I was playing Diablo 4 recently, I noticed that a lot of rogue players were focusing on the melee playstyle, both leveling up and endgame. If you’re looking to try a ranged playstyle that utilizes a bow or crossbow, then the Penetrating Shot Marksman Rogue Build I’m going to cover next is just what you need.
*The basic skill we’re going to pick up is Forceful Arrow, which fires a powerful arrow at an enemy and every third cast makes them vulnerable.
Enhanced Forceful Arrow increases the Critical Strike Chance on that third shot as well.
Then, you should pick Fundamental Forceful Arrow, which will keep you alive by knocking back enemies if they’re close and even sometimes knocking them down for one and a half seconds.
You don’t want to level this beyond rank one out of five at least early on in the game, as there are far more important skills to unlock and there’s very little return gain from that skill point.
*Our main ability is going to be Penetrating Shot, which fires an arrow that pierces through in a straight line.
Enhanced Penetrating Shot increases the damage of the arrow by 10% each time it passes through an enemy.
Then, Improved Penetrating Shot increases your Critical Strike Chance by a whopping 20% for your next Penetrating Shot if you hit at least three enemies with it.
At level 15, you gain access to the Rogue specific questline, which I recommend you do as soon as possible. It unlocks Combo Points, which further enhances your Penetrating Shot.
Your rotation will become simple at this point. You accumulate three Combo Points for every three Forceful Arrows you fire. You can also activate Penetrating Shots and unleash this skill. All in all, these Combo Points not only do massively increased damage but also give you a 30% chance to hit a lucky hit.
Trust me. It’s way better if you use Penetrating Shot at three Combo Points rather than two or one. I see a lot of players making this mistake early on and that’s unlocking tons of offensive abilities of which you won’t be able to use them all on the battlefield. That is because you have limited energy resource.
*The next ability you want for this build is Dash, which gives you two charges that lets you maneuver the battlefield effectively while dealing some damage.
I would definitely get Enhanced Dash by using Diablo 4 Gold as that increases Critical Strike Damage for 5 seconds for any enemies damaged by your Dash.
*Dark Shroud is going to give you even more damage reduction up to a maximum of 40%. You gain five charges of this and each time you’re hit you lose 8% damage reduction. Before an engagement, make sure Dark Shroud is up for maximum survivability.
Enhanced Dark Shroud gives it a 10% chance that on a hit you don’t actually lose a ball and lose the damage resist.
Then Countering Dark Shroud is super nice because when you have four or more active Dark Shroud, you gain a whopping 8% Critical Strike Chance.

*You definitely want to pick up Weapon Mastery fairly quickly as well. With bows, we get 12% increased damage to vulnerable enemies. And for crossbows, you get 15% increased Critical Strike Damage. This build heavily focuses around doing massive crits. So, my preference would be for a crossbow. But a bow isn’t too far behind.
*You want to pick up three ranks of Exploits, which helps you do increased damage by a mass of 18% when enemies are either at the top end of their health bar or at the bottom end. Remember, for any passives, when you’re leveling, don’t prioritize them early on. It’s way more fun to unlock new abilities before you start making them three out of three.
*For this build, when we’re dealing with large groups of enemies, we’re going to be using Shadow Imbuement. Because Shadow causes explosions and are great for taking out groups of enemies.
What Shadow Imbuement does is powering up your next two attacks with Shadow energy. In this build, that will be your Penetrating Shot primarily, but also Dash can be imbued as well.
Enhanced Shadow Imbuement gives you even more Critical Strike Chance of warping 15% against injured enemies infected by Shadow Imbuement.
Then Blended Shadow Imbuement makes enemies affected by the initial explosion vulnerable. Honestly, you can make whole crowds of enemies vulnerable because of this.
*We also pick up Poison Imbuement for this build. Because when you want to deal with bosses or you want large single target DPS, Poison Imbuement is going to be a lot better because it applies damage over time.
Enhanced Poison Imbuement increases the poison damage over time by one second longer. And more importantly, it unlocks Blended Poison Imbuement whereby Critical Strikes deals 75% increased poisoning damage.
*Precision Imbuement here is great and increases your Critical Strike Chance by 9% when three out of three. You will eventually make Poison and Shadow Imbuement 5 out of 5. But again, you can leave them one out of five until later on when leveling.
You want to unlock your key passive Precision as soon as it’s available. It’s going to progressively stack up Critical Strike Damage bonuses and when you reach maximum stacks, it’s going to guarantee a Critical Strike that does 40% increased damage.
*Again, we’re stacking so much Critical Strike chance and damage just by the build itself. You’re going to hit some pretty big numbers. Then, finish off the build by getting one point in Adrenaline Rush. So, you can unlock Haste, which 3 stacks of which will give you a bonus to movement speed or attack speed, depending on how your energy resource levels are.
In terms of aspects, the main aspect you want is the Trickshot Aspect, which you get a little later in the game in the Bastion of Faith dungeon. But you can roll this early on using the Obols Curiosity Vendor. If you want to try your luck, I’d recommend going for gloves as they cost the least Obols and can roll the aspect.
Trickshot is going to create two further penetrating arrows perpendicular to your initial shot, which just makes the skill ridiculous, as it becomes so much easier to hit multiple enemies. This means that you can activate all the effects of Enhanced and Improved Penetrating Shot much easier.
An aspect, which I’d recommend getting earlier on is the Aspect of Inner Calm, which you can get in the Raethwind Wilds Dungeon in Scosglen. It increases your damage by 5% for each second you stand still, up to a total of 30%.
You’re often going to be firing arrows from a distance while standing still. This is a great aspect to get put this one on your dagger or sword. So, you don’t need to replace it very often. Because your damage is going to be determined by your crossbow or bow for this build, which means you’ll be upgrading it often when leveling.
As we all know, some of Rogue’s skills can only be unlocked after reaching a certain level. It doesn’t matter if you don’t meet the level requirements, you can take a look at the Boosting service on this website. This way you can skip the boring leveling process and make all kinds of powerful builds to strengthen your characters.
Although there are many powerful builds available for each Diablo 4 class, some builds are more suitable if you want to challenge or farm specific tasks and dungeons. At least, The Pit, one of the most difficult dungeons, is not something that all builds can handle.
The Pit, full name of The Pit of Artificers, is a random dungeon with 150 floors. The higher the level, the more difficult it is. Of course, the more Diablo 4 Gold, gear, or other loot you will get. To complete a level of The Pit, you must kill as many monsters and bosses as possible within 15 minutes.
Based on this, we will take Rogue class as the protagonist this time to tell you how to craft Poison Trap Spam, a Rogue build, in order to handle the difficult content of The Pit.
Generally speaking, mastering the relevant class skills is the most important prerequisite for crafting any builds, because the builds cannot function without skills.
For Poison Trap Spam, first make sure to bring your Sturdy to provide damage reduction so that minimize the damage caused by enemies in The Pit. Next, equip Caltrops and upgrade them to Methodical Caltrops if possible. This type of skill can create a trap area, effectively chilling enemies in the area to slow down their movement speed.
Dance of Knives is the main Rogue skill for this build to damage enemies. This skill is a new Rogue skill that appeared in DLC Vessel of Hatred. Once launched, it has been welcomed by the majority of Rogue players.
As a practical physical damage skill, Dance of Knives has continuous mobility and excellent damage output. It allows you to guide the throwing knives to attack surrounding enemies, consuming a charge per second, allowing each throwing knife to cause 70-94% damage, and the faster the attack speed, the more damage it causes. You will even gain additional movement speed and dodge chance when channeling the skill.
Of course, in addition to the evasion bonus provided by Dance of Knives, you should also equip your Poison Trap Spam Rogue with some nice defensive skills that can further improve its evasion and agility attributes, such as Smoke Grenade and Poison Trap.
In fact, these two skills can also cause considerable damage to enemies on their own - as the most agile class in Diablo 4, most of Rogue’s skills are very flexible. Poison Trap can create a poisonous trap to poison the enemy, and Smoke Grenade can throw a smoke mixture at the enemy to stun them for a few seconds. They can also be further upgraded to:
In addition, the concealment effect provided by Concealment skill is also very helpful for completing The Pit of Artificers. After entering the stealth state, you have 5 seconds to shuttle between enemies and deal damage without being discovered, but if you are attacked during this period, the stealth state will be invalid.
In order to ensure that the above Rogue skills you added can be better used in The Pit battle through Poison Trap Spam Rogue Build, it is also necessary to equip other important passive skills, such as:
Some of them can increase the damage caused by your active skills, some can provide speed or dodge assistance, and some can make vulnerable enemies lose more health when attacked, which is very useful.
After completing the skill matching, it is time to work hard to farm the right gear to continue to improve your build. If you want to improve the damage output ability of the build first, then Bands of Ichorous Rose is definitely your best choice.
This item is actually the latest Rogue exclusive item launched in Season 8, which can be worn by you as gloves. Bands of Ichorous Rose increase the maximum number of Poison Traps you can cast by 4, and they always deal full damage within 3 seconds, increasing damage by 50 - 100%. Other specific buffs include:
For Legendary Aspect, we recommend Aspect of Arrow Storms. A reliable offensive aspect, Aspect of Arrow Storms gives your ranged skills a 36% chance to rain arrows that deal continuous damage to enemies.
Each class in Diablo 4 has a specific mechanic that helps you enhance your character in the most class-specific way. For Rogue, this mechanic is Specialization, which allows you to choose one of three passive bonuses to enhance yourself, and you can switch at any time, even in combat, which are:
The one that makes Poison Trap Spam Rogue Build more powerful in The Pit is Inner Sight. It allows you to mark random enemies, and hitting these enemies will fill the corresponding progress bar, and once it is full, you will get unlimited energy.
That’s all for this time. If you are playing Rogue class and are not satisfied with the existing builds, you might as well give this build a try!
For you, playing Diablo 4 should have two main purposes. One is to get a unique experience as a player by playing the game, and the other is to gradually grow in the game to defeat increasingly powerful opponents and dominate the game world.
No matter which aspect you value more, in fact, you must work hard to make your character stronger and stronger in the game. To do this, in addition to earning enough Diablo 4 Gold and XP, you also need to constantly update and upgrade the items you are equipped with.
Among all Diablo 4 items, Unique and Mythic Unique items are undoubtedly the rarest and provide the best benefits, so they are your popular farming targets in every season. Based on this, we will introduce you to the best gameplay to farm them in Season 8.
Diablo 4’s unique items can be divided into multiple types such as weapons, armor and jewelry. Each has four affixes and an exclusive power, which can provide your character with skills or stats bonuses to help you fight against powerful enemies.
Although most Diablo 4 endgame content can theoretically drop unique items through combat, in order to improve farming efficiency, you need to selectively find available combat. In fact, some bosses will focus on dropping Uniques exclusively to a certain class.
Endgame bosses should be the main source of unique items, even if they are renamed lair bosses. When you unlock Torment difficulty in Season 8, you can challenge these bosses at any level of Torment difficulty to obtain the desired Uniques or Mythic Uniques.
Undoubtedly, as the final boss of this season, Belial has the highest chance of dropping Mythic Uniques, and each of the other lair bosses can provide you with a specific source of Unique items - the exception is Duriel and Andariel, who share the same loot list as brother bosses.
However, if you want to take away the loot after winning the lair boss battle, you must collect the lair keys of the corresponding boss in advance before the battle, otherwise you will miss the loot because you cannot open the boss hoard, wasting the opportunity to fight.
This Uniques farming method does not require you to prepare for the battle nervously, just ensure that you have a sufficient inventory of Murmuring Obols. Obols are a special currency that can be dropped after completing most of Diablo 4 content. Its main use is to help you exchange benefits at Purveyor of Curiosities.
However, this gambling will not guarantee that you can get the unique items you want, which means that you may waste a lot of Obols without getting a good return. Therefore, this method can only be regarded as a fun, and it cannot be used as your main source of Uniques.
Helltides is a special endgame event that refreshes on the map every 5 minutes and lasts for 55 minutes each time. After appearing, all Helltides will be marked with a burgundy symbol, and you can go to the corresponding location according to the symbol to complete it.
Tree of Whispers is also an endgame event, which will bring you some bounty tasks. Completing these tasks can get random collectibles, and Grim Favors for exchanging more Tree of Whispers rewards.
During Helltides, you can get gold, XP and Aberrant Cinders by killing enemies and bosses in the event. Aberrant Cinders can open Tortured Gifts you previously obtained through Tree of Whispers collectibles, which may contain Uniques, but the drop rate is not stable.
Although Infernal Hordes is also an endgame event, you can start participating as long as you unlock Torment difficulty. This event will generate multiple waves of enemies. All you have to do is to complete these waves and defeat the subsequent Fell Council without exhausting all resurrections.
In the process of completing the above content, you will collect an in-game currency called Burning Aether, which can be used to exchange for Spoils of Hell chests. Opening these chests will give you a chance to get gear, gold, crafting materials, and most importantly, Uniques and Mythic Uniques.
It is worth noting that in order to enter Infernal Hordes, you need to get enough Infernal Compasses. Before Season 8, this item could be crafted by collecting materials, but now the mechanism has been adjusted and they can only exist as random drops.
To do this, you need to first complete The Eyes of the Enemy in Infernal Hordes questline to get the first Infernal Compass to open Gates of Hell, and then farm more by completing other Infernal Hordes tasks.
The above are all the ways to farm unique items in Diablo 4 Season 8. Considering that all methods will not drop 100%, you must persevere and fight in various events! You have worked hard!
When you plan to farm rarer loot in Diablo 4, you need to enter the more difficult game content and challenge the bosses. In the past, these bosses were mainly endgame bosses, but after entering Season 8, not only their overall mechanism has been adjusted, but also their names have been changed to lair bosses.
All lair bosses are divided into 3 levels according to their challenge difficulty and the value of the loot they provide, from low to high, they are Initiate, Greater, and Exalted. Although Initiate lair boss is easier to deal with, since there are up to 5 bosses on this level, the total amount of loot in the end is also very considerable.
Based on this, this time we will introduce you to how to find these five Initiate lair bosses, as well as the specific reward list after defeating them, to help you get more and better items in Season 8.
The full name of this boss is Grigoire, The Galvanic Saint. Before Season 8, you had to collect the corresponding summoning materials to challenge him or other lair bosses, but now these materials have been replaced by lair keys - you can enter the battle directly, but only lair keys can guarantee that you can get loot by opening the hoard after the battle.
The keys required for Grigoire are 12 Living Steel. After ensuring that you have enough materials and unlocking Torment difficulties, go to Dry Steppes, south of the capital Ked Bardu, where the boss is in Hall of the Penitent.
The key to fighting Grigoire is sufficient lightning resistance. To do this, you can exchange Elixir of Lightning Resistance II to increase this resistance if you have enough Diablo 4 Gold. After that, pay attention to avoid the boss’s lightning attacks and summoning minions in the battle. Here are all the uniques that Grigoire may drop:
In fact, all the basic operating mechanisms of Initiate lair boss are almost the same. What needs extra attention is the specific lair keys required, the location of appearance, the combat mode and the final loot will be different.
Beast in the Ice can be found in Glacial Fissure located in Desolate Highlands, Fractured Peaks, south of Kyovashad. The required keys are 12 Distilled Fear. From the name of the boss, you know that you need enough ice resistance to fight it. For this, you need to equip Elixir of Cold Resistance II in advance.
In addition, during the battle, the boss will generate ice areas of various shapes, and direct attacks are mainly frontal. You only need to keep these two points in mind to avoid damage. After the battle, there is a chance to obtain the following Uniques:
This boss appears in Malignant Burrow in the north of Hawezar near Tree of Whispers. Unlocking his hoard requires 4 Malignant Hearts as keys.
Before starting the battle, you can obtain Elixir of Shadow Resistance II in advance to increase your shadow resistance to ensure your health. The unique items available after the battle are:
After you have 12 Exquisite Blood, you can go to Fractured Peaks in Kyovashad to find The Darkened Way and enter from the entrance to challenge this boss. The trick to fighting Lord Zir is to maintain shadow resistance while avoiding Elite Bloodseeker and blood orbs he summons as much as possible.
This boss can be found in Fields of Judgement at any Torment difficulty level - Fields of Judgement is located in Teganze Plateau subzone of Nahantu. The corresponding lair keys are 4 Judicator’s Mask.
In addition to the usual gold, XP and the following unique items, defeating Urivar will also give you Betrayer’s Husk, which is required to unlock the final boss Belial’s Hoard.
We hope that this information we have provided can help you in your Diablo 4 Season 8 boss farming progress, so that you can get the loot you want as soon as possible!
Before May 6, you might have been mainly busy advancing the game and leveling up your characters in Diablo 4 Season 8 so that you could enter the endgame and fight those powerful lair bosses as soon as possible. But with Berserk crossover event going live on May 6, it should become your new goal.
Although it is a bit regrettable that your character does not have exclusive crossover missions and battles, it also means that you can work hard for both the event and the season during Berserk crossover event, thereby earning more Diablo 4 Gold in two ways.
However, if you want to get gold and other event rewards (such as exclusive cosmetics) through this crossover event, you must earn enough Behelit during the event, a special event token, to redeem rewards in the event Reliquary system.
Based on this, we will introduce you to all Behelit farming channels and the subsequent reward redemption steps based on the content settings of Season 8.
In general, Behelit will be dropped by all enemies and bosses in the game, and the higher the enemy/boss’ boarding, the more Behelit will be dropped. In other words, the more enemies and bosses appear in the area or mission, the more worthwhile it is for you to challenge.
For this reason, the exclusive event Apparition Incursions of Season 8 should be your priority. This event not only has many Apparition enemies, but also brings two Apparition bosses and a Belial’s lesser form in the final stage of a single event. Defeating them will not only reward the usual gold and XP, but also Behelit you want, and more importantly, the boss power.
This event is randomly refreshed on the map every 5 minutes. After finding them according to the time and mark, you can participate in it with your teammates at any time. Special enemies with Belial’s green mark will appear in the corresponding area of the event. After killing them and filling the corresponding progress bar, the boss will appear.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the rewards mentioned above, you can also get the seasonal currency Spectral Ash by completing this event. This item can be used to upgrade any boss power you have obtained, making your combat power stronger.
The second thing we want to introduce to you is Helltides. The operation mechanism of this event is very similar to Apparition Incursions, but the difference is that it has been available in every Diablo 4 season since its launch.
Helltides also runs every five minutes, and each one lasts for 55 minutes. During this period, you can find these Helltides events and complete them according to the burgundy sword-shaped marks on the map.
During Berserk crossover event, the rewards provided by the event naturally include many Behelit, and you can also farm its exclusive currency Aberrant Cinders in Helltides. This item can be used to open Tortured Gifts you have obtained, or other special chests to get more loot.
It is worth noting that Aberrant Cinders you collect are only applicable to the current Helltide event, and they cannot be accumulated for chests obtained through other Helltides. This means that you must consume all Aberrant Cinders you have got within 55 minutes, otherwise it will be wasted.
If you want to earn more Behelit through Helltides, it is recommended that you first collect enough Baneful Hearts during the event to summon Blood Maiden boss multiple times. Although Helltides can provide many bosses, farming Blood Maiden is the most efficient.
This series of events is also one of the most popular resource farming channels in Diablo 4. Like the several events already introduced, Legion events will refresh on the map at fixed time intervals. After completing or skipping the pre-campaign, you can open this event through Tree of Whispers.
However, the special thing about opening Legion event is that if you want to refresh it in certain specific locations, you must clear the fortresses here in advance, namely:
In addition, Legion event is a multiplayer event in terms of the number of participants, so after going to the location where the event is refreshed, you can find other players wandering around and team up with them to complete the challenge. Or if you already have a reliable team of friends, you can also enter the challenge directly.
When you and your teammates work hard to kill the enemies and bosses in the event, you will get the treasure chests containing gear, crafting materials, runes, and Behelit as loot.
Behelit is closely related to the new Reliquary, which is a new form of battle pass launched in Season 8, and will set up a dedicated Reliquary system for crossover events. Once you have enough Behelit, you can redeem it in Berserk Reliquary tab in Ritualist’s Reliquary menu.
Like Berserk crossover event itself, Behelit also has an expiration date. To avoid wasting it due to missing the redemption period, it is recommended that you redeem it as soon as you earn Behelit, and don’t wait until the last day to do so.
If you haven’t earned enough Behelit in Diablo 4 Season 8 yet, but are interested in Berserk crossover rewards, try the above method as soon as possible! Good luck!
On April 29, the highly anticipated Diablo 4 Season 8 was finally officially launched. In addition to the new theme, new boss and new seasonal power as always, the difference (and also one of the highlights) of this season is that it also brings a crossover event with Berserk! You can get Diablo 4 Gold and various game items with Berserk characteristics by playing it.
Although most types of games have become accustomed to creating heat for themselves and partners through cross-border linkage in recent years, the very popular Diablo 4 has rarely done so, so the crossover with Berserk will definitely receive extra attention from you.
However, it is a bit regrettable that since the crossover event started on May 6, it does not seem to have received good reviews from players. In fact, Diablo Immortal also carried out this crossover, but the performance it brought was far better than that of Diablo 4.
Interestingly, at the same time, Diablo 4 team recently announced another cooperation plan on social media, that is, it will cooperate with an interesting candle production company from the United States, Cantrip Candles, to launch a batch of impression scented candles with the atmosphere of Diablo 4.
Combined with the unsatisfactory performance of Berserk crossover event, although the cooperative candles are products outside the game, if its commercialization is successful enough, it may also give Diablo 4 some inspiration to modify it before the end of Berserk crossover to enhance your Diablo 4 Season 8 crossover event experience. Based on this, we will introduce the relevant situation to you.
This interesting candle company comes from Hollywood, California, USA, and its team itself is composed of a group of players who like TTRPG - the company’s main products are the scented candle inspired by Dungeons and Dragons.
It is expected that this cooperation with Diablo 4 will first be inspired by the atmosphere of the entire game and Sanctuary, and a themed candle with rosemary and citrus notes, as well as a little roasted persimmon and pepper smell, will be launched as the main product. Later, character-themed candles may be launched based on classic characters such as Mephisto or Lilith.
It is worth noting that in addition to candles, Cantrip Candles also produces fun products such as atmosphere sprays, wax melts and customized matchboxes, so when this cooperation is in the middle and late stages, you may have the opportunity to see Diablo 4 in-game books such as Neyrelle’s Horadric chronicles being materialized into other fragrance products.
In contrast, this crossover event focuses entirely on in-game cooperation. The basis for the cooperation between Diablo 4 and Berserk is that although one is a game, and the other is a comic, they are both full of strong fantasy and dark and bloody styles. Berserk-style combat and appearance can be well combined with your Diablo 4 character.
This crossover event has officially started on May 6 and will last until June 3. The crossover content is divided into two parts, one is the free rewards related to the new Reliquary battle pass system, and the other is the various sets sold in the in-game store.
The free rewards require you to kill elite enemies to earn special tokens called Behelits, which unlock four rewards: a Brand of Sacrifice death marker and tattoo, as well as a cosmetic backpiece and mount trophy. Unlocking all four rewards also nets you a free Berserk-themed nameplate. The in-game store offers four different armor sets and a pet pack, each for 2,800 platinum, and a mount pack for 2,500 platinum.
Given Berserk’s popularity, this crossover event should have done well, but finally it’s hard not to feel like it was just a pure cosmetic selling. The lack of new playable content or quests is a constant push to get cosmetic items.
Although some rewards are free, the process of earning Behelits to get them is honestly very boring, because it only corresponds to one battle after another that lacks depth and strategy, and even if you finally get the reward, you won’t feel any sense of accomplishment. As for the store gift packs, they are even more insincere - you can get less platinum for free.
Even more embarrassing is that Diablo Immortal, which launched Berserk crossover at the same time, not only launched the theme rewards, but also brought a new Nosferatu Zodd boss battle, and allowed you to gain new power to fight through Behelit-themed Legendary gems, which is much more playable than Diablo 4.
To be honest, the two don’t seem to have much to do with each other at first glance, but candles will be launched during Berserk crossover event, and perhaps you can expect subsequent candle products to have some Berserk features.
In addition, the source of criticism for Diablo 4 Berserk crossover event is that it only wants to induce you to consume, but if the market performance of candle products is good, Diablo 4 may also change its strategy before the end of the event, allowing you to more easily obtain Berserk crossover event rewards.
Although Diablo 4 is considered having performed boring since the beginning of 2025, no matter which cooperation it is, they have just begun, and you should have expectations for them. Even if it really performs poorly, it is not too late to criticize it at that time!
Thanks to the almost never-short class balance and adjustments in Diablo 4, even if you have always liked the most old-school Diablo 4 classes, you have the opportunity to become one of the most powerful warriors in Sanctuary by playing them in the latest season.
As a class that has accompanied almost the entire development of Diablo 4, it has to be said that Necromancer also has the classic Diablo 4 dark aesthetic style in appearance and skill style. In battle, they mainly utilize bone and blood spells to output damage to the enemy, and can summon corpses and undead armies to help fight. They are truly strong.
As time comes to Season 8, even facing the latest ultimate boss Belial and his army of Apparition, Necromancer is still a very competitive class, but the premise is that you can quickly upgrade the character to the maximum level as a Necromancer to quickly pass the level. Based on this, we will introduce you to a good and easy-to-use Necromancer Leveling Build, so that you can continue to enjoy the unique charm of Necromancer in Season 8.
Based on the skill characteristics of this build, you can call it Blood Surge Necromancer Leveling Build. This build utilizes Blood Surge, one of the main skills of Necromancer, as the core damage source, and combines it with the skeletal minions that this class can summon for auxiliary output. In this way, in battle, you can not only effectively cause damage to single bosses, but also utilize minions to clear a large area of group enemies, quickly complete effective Diablo 4 Gold accumulation, and gain a lot of XP to upgrade as soon as possible.
In addition to the essential core skill Blood Surge, this Necromancer Leveling Build also requires you to match it with other active skills, and through skill rotation, the synergy between them can further improve your combat efficiency. The main ones include the following:
When you cast Blood Surge in battle, in order to keep it working, you must generate a steady stream of essence as the power source of this skill, and Enhanced Hemorrhage can do this very well. It is the most suitable essence generator for Necromancer class.
As an advanced version of Blood Surge, this skill can also be used as your main source of damage output. More importantly, after the paranormal upgrade, you can trigger overpower effect every five times you attack the enemy with this skill.
This skill mainly allows your skeleton soldiers to provide damage assistance to Blood Surge in battle through Skirmishers with the additional skeleton upgrade and Ice Mages with the essence generation upgrade.
Bone Prison makes enemies more vulnerable and susceptible to damage, but Ghastly Bone Prison can generate more essence for you on top of that, becoming your extra essence generator besides Enhanced Hemorrhage is working.
Iron Maiden can cause enemies to take damage over time and take backlash damage when they attack you or your minions, while the horrid version can generate essence for you by cursing them.
Besides providing enough damage and vulnerability, it also provides you with a stable source of essence, ensuring that you can continuously utilize Blood Surge to attack enemies. The specific operation method is to first release Blood Surge on the enemy, then use other essence generating skills to ensure that Blood Surge continues to operate, and then continue to utilize Blood Surge through Supreme Soulrift when fighting elites or bosses until the essence is exhausted.
The passive skills for this build are mainly blood-based, and their main purpose is to provide damage bonuses to your gear while maintaining your health. They include:
The main ones that can provide damage bonuses are Coalesced Blood, Tides of Blood, Transfusion, Drain Vitality, and Rathma’s Vigor. As long as you can maintain your character’s health level and pick up Blood orbs generated by Hemorrhage and Blood Surge through Transfusion in time, these damage-based passive skills can be effective.
As a seasonal feature of Season 8, it’s worth aligning all your builds with boss powers, which will give you an unexpected advantage during the season, and these powers only require defeating related bosses to obtain - of course, the more powerful the boss, the more dangerous it is. For Blood Surge Necromancer Leveling Build, the best boss powers include:
After matching skills and seasonal powers, it’s also important to choose aspects and gear. The first and most essential aspect is Blood-bathed Aspect, because when placed in the amulet, it allows the core skill Blood Surge to cast two novas in combat. Other good aspects include Aspect of Occult Dominion, Aspect Of Reanimation and Aspect Of Rathma’s Chosen.
As for gear or other items, there are no specific options that are required. You just need to make sure your gear can provide essence, damage and survivability as much as possible, or gear that can increase the level of related skills and passive skills is also very good.
The above is the core information for leveling up quickly in Season 8 through Blood Surge Necromancer Leveling Build. If you can master them, I believe you can continue to kill people as a Necromancer in Season 8! Have fun!
