In this guide, I want to talk about 8 important tips that you need to know early on when you play Diablo 4 Season 4. Whether you are a new player or a veteran returning to the game, you will find them valuable. Without further ado, let’s get straight to it!
You can auto-cast abilities in Diablo 4. Auto-casting skills do not require any macro, special mouse or external software. You can turn on an auto-cast with the simple use of your keyboard.
First, go to Options, then Controls window and assign the secondary button for the skill you want to auto-cast to one of the number pad buttons.
Next, with Numlock function turned on, hold down the designated number key and press Numlock button to turn the function off, and there you go. Your character will now auto-cast skills when they are ready! To disable auto-cast, simply turn on Numlock and press the skill button again.
The second thing I want you to know early on is that Season Journey rewards are account-wide, while Iron Wolves rewards are character-based. So when you level up your first character, you might be wondering which Seasonal rewards to claim now, and which to save for later, or for your alts? You certainly want to claim all of Iron Wolves rewards as soon as you unlock them.
Each character can level up and claim their own rewards from this vendor. Iron Wolves reward tier also seems to be tied to your tier when you unlock them, not your tier when you open the box. So basically there’s no need to hesitate.
When it comes to Season Journey rewards, things are a little trickier, because they’re account-wide. This means that if you pick up some Season Journey Chapter rewards for your first character, but let’s say you decide to switch classes, you won’t be able to get Season Journey rewards on that new character.
Generally, this isn’t a big deal, except for the cool Legendary and Unique items that might drop from rewards caches. Luckily, there are a ton of Diablo 4 items dropping in Season 4, so don’t lose any sleep over it.
My third tip for you is this: use Favorite feature. You can mark Aspects and Items as Favorites. When you mark that Aspect as a Favorite, and you select Legendary Aspects from Codex of Power, it will show up first. This is a big quality of life thing, because you’ll be switching Legendary Aspects repeatedly over time. Here’s how I like to use this feature.
When I start a new character and have an idea for a skill or build I want to use, I go to Collection section in the pause menu. This is the only place you can mark an Aspect as a Favorite. On PC, marking is done with the space bar, by the way.
I then go through all the available Aspects and mark the ones that seem to work for my build. This takes a little of upfront work, but can make your life a lot easier in the long run. So you don’t have to search for specific Legendary Aspects every time you want to switch items. That’s a lot of hassle.
Now let’s talk about a piece of gear. You can also mark them as Favorites to avoid accidentally selling good items to vendors or to stop you from mass salvaging items at Blacksmith.
To mark a piece of gear, hover over the item and press the button that marks the item as junk twice! The first press marks the item as junk, while the second press marks it as Favorite.
Personally, I like to mark all of my current gear as Favorites to prevent accidentally losing items when trying different gear.
Moving on to the next tip, you can make Seasonal Potions with Murmuring Obols. If you haven’t used Seasonal Potions yet, definitely give it a try!
Holy Bolt is a particularly powerful elixir, as it turns you into a permanent artillery machine. Obols are the currency you normally used to gamble for items. You can get Obols from Helltide Chests.
Considering you’ll probably be using Helltide all the time, you’ll accumulate a lot of Obols pretty quickly. Once you have a pleasant set of gear, it’s a good time to spend some Obols on making potions.
Be aware though, at 350 Obols per potion, the cost is pretty high. But I still recommend using Holy Bolt. Despite the high cost, the power gain justifies the cost as they can greatly increase your damage, especially when playing as a Minion Necromancer.
The next tip I have for you is to pay attention to the symbols on the items at Blacksmith. A lot of people have questions, with an inventory full of legendary items. How can you easily know which ones to sell and which ones to salvage?
Go to Blacksmith and salvage items that have a white icon on them. This icon means that Legendary Aspect on this piece of gear is either not unlocked in your Codex of Power, or the value of legendary power on the item is higher than what you have unlocked in Codex of Power. So in either case, you definitely want to salvage the item unless you don’t want to use it.
There is another red icon, which means that salvaging the item will unlock a new appearance. Unfortunately, these icons aren’t very easy to see when you have your inventory open, unless you go to an NPC like a Blacksmith or a Vendor.
Without going to an NPC, you have to hover over an item and look for an icon with a text description at the bottom of the item description. Unfortunately, this is easy to miss, especially when you have the compare feature turned on. As such, the item description rarely fits on the screen and requires scrolling down to see the icon. This is a bit annoying and I hope they change it in the future.
Continuing with tip number six, you can check possible affixes when enchanting an item! If you get a nice piece of gear but want to change one of its affixes, then you’ll need to go to Occultist and enchant that stat.
But how do you know if you should keep that new affix or keep rolling? That’s where the icon located in the top right corner of Enchanting Window comes to the rescue. It shows a list of all the possible affixes that can be rolled and their ranges! You can actually access this information on the console as well. To do this, just press “Triangle” or “Y” button in Enchanting Window.
Coming to tip seven, spam Blood Maiden in Helltides for tons of XP and loot!
Helltide is a great place to both level up and get tons of loot in the process. I highly recommend checking out each Helltide invaded area. There is an altar with three pillars that can be activated by inserting Baneful Hearts dropped in Helltide.
By the way, you get to keep Baneful Hearts after Helltide ends, while any unused Cinders are lost after the current Helltide event ends.
When all three pillars are activated, waves of enemies will spawn at that location. When enough demons have been defeated, a boss, Blood Maiden, will spawn. She is a tough enemy with three main mechanics:
First, she spawns Disciples, which are stronger elite monsters. You definitely want to deal with them quickly so you don’t get overwhelmed later.
She will also throw Fire Rings around random players. When you get hit by a Fire Ring, stay away from the boss and other players to avoid being killed in one hit.
Finally, she creates an ever-expanding circle that deals pretty high damage, but you can just dodge it. After defeating Blood Maiden, she will drop a lot of items, including some legendary items and crafting materials.
Just a reminder that players who contribute more Baneful Hearts to activate the pillars may get more loot. So don’t be stingy.
Since we are talking about Helltide, let’s talk about the last tip we need to know, which is to use Profane Mindcage to increase XP and Cinders you get.
Profane Mindcage increases the level of enemies in Helltide by 10 levels for 60 minutes! As far as I know, being 10 levels higher than you is the upper limit of extra XP you can get in Diablo 4, so this boost works well.
Using Profane Mindcage is a great way to level up faster and get a lot of Cinders. Don’t be too stingy, because you’ll be dropping Profane Mindcage in Helltide, anyway.
Here are a few things to consider: First, the boost lasts for 60 minutes, so activate it when you’re planning on having a longer session.
Next, dying while Profane Mindcage is activated will disable the boost, so use it when the current Helltide enemies don’t pose much of a threat.
Also, enemy level caps at 50 in World Tier 1 and 2. So if you’re in that tier and level is above 40, there’s no point activating this boost.
These are the 8 things I wish I’d known when I started playing Diablo 4 Season 4 a few days ago. Regardless, hopefully these tips will save you precious time and make your journey through Loot Reborn season smooth and frictionless.
As always, the arrival of Diablo 4 Season 4 Loot Reborn brought a ton of new meta, which also affected many classes and builds to a certain extent. In the process, Werenado Tornado Druid build came into being and gradually climbed to the top of the weekly leaderboard.
In fact, this S-Tier build has long been circulated among the player community, and if you use it properly, it will help you get through the end of the season easily.
This build focuses on Werenado play style, where players transform into bears or wolves and release devastating Tornado to destroy enemies. The build uses various buffs and deals a lot of damage to easily deal with the hardest content in the game.
Each season in Diablo 4 usually has different activities and different builds that are better than others. And Werenado Druid, as one of the new builds in this season, can deal a lot of damage and overcome challenges. By perfecting this build, you will reap all the rewards of this season and put those long-coveted Uniques in your pocket.
First, let’s talk about how to get Werenado Tornado Druid build to its full potential.
Wildheart Hunger Unique boots are a vital part of this build. These boots reduce your cooldowns and provide a massive damage boost. However, what makes them even better is that when your Druid transforms into Werewolf form, you gain Wildheart that lasts for 5 seconds.
Wildheart gives you a damage buff every 2 seconds and allows it to stack. This alone gives you a massive damage boost that can crush challenging bosses in a matter of seconds.
Additionally, Legendary weapon, Shepherd’s Parashu, is also necessary for this build, as it gives your Tornado Damage a chance to cast twice, and adds its own Willpower and Damage boosts. This means you’ll most likely be summoning a Tornado Storm in Werewolf form, doubling the damage.
Finally, Thunderstruck Legendary Node provides a massive damage boost to Storm Skills. All of this combined will boost your total damage to almost 8 times your normal damage.
I should remind you that you need Tempest Roar for this build to work so you can keep transforming. But if you have the extra Diablo 4 Gold to get the other parts available, you can deal a lot of AOE damage and easily tear through enemies with your Tornado.
While the above legendary gear is the most important, the other parts that deal a little extra damage also make a difference. Here is a list of other items you can get:
If you want to make the build work, you should also equip 3 pets like Ravens, Poison Creeper, and Wolves, as well as a set of skills: Trample, Petrify, and Tornado. As for gems, you just need to focus on the damage and extra HP they provide.
Also, invest in the best gear you can get, but don’t worry too much about upgrading your armor if you have the gear listed above. With these items, you should be able to reach your maximum potential and will be close to the upper limit of certain stats for this build.
For the skill tree, many of Werenado Tornado Druid’s skills revolve around Shapeshifting skill upgrades, as well as an upgrade or two for your pet. Most importantly, Wild Impulses should be fully upgraded, doing so will ensure that your Storm and Shapeshifting magics play a significant role. Additionally, many of the skill tree choices in Diablo 4 will give you a boost when you are in Werewolf or Werebear form.
We start by investing 1 point into Poison Creeper to passively summon 1 Poison Creeper. Then we invest 1 point into Enhanced Poison Creeper, Brutal Poison Creeper to increase the critical strike chance of enemies affected by Poison Creeper.
Similarly, investing 1 point into Ravens can damage enemies when they fly over them. Additionally, 2 points into Elemental Exposure, Storm Skills have a chance to make enemies vulnerable.
Additionally, 1 point into Trample will instantly transform us into a Werebear. Invest 1 point each in Enhanced Trample and Natural Trample, which do 150% more damage and 20% Maximum Life as Fortify.
The 3 points in Natural Disaster will make Earth and Storm Skills do more damage against certain enemies. And 3 points in Quickshift, which will do more damage when Shapeshifting skill transforms you.
Finally, add 1 point in Bestial Rampage to increase attack speed as a Werewolf and more damage as a Werebear.
Like I mentioned before, the most important part of Paragon Board for this build is Thunderstruck Legendary Node. It is the core part of this build and will improve all of these Storm Skills. Among them, the other nodes you want to activate are: Werewolf, Earth and Sky, Fang and Claw, Outmatch, Exploit, and Spirit.
Put all of this together and you should be ready for anything the new season throws at you. Trust me, Werenado build will help you clear all enemies in the endgame with its violent whirlwind.
Diablo 4 Season 4 Loot Reborn update has changed the way we play, and some classes that weren’t great before often outperform other classes when it comes to collecting loot, and Rogue is one of them. So here we are, talking about one of the best Rogue builds in Season 4, Heartseeker Rogue Build.
For most of Diablo 4’s lifespan, builds like Rapid Fire and Death Trap dominated the meta-game. But with the rise of Loot Reborn and the introduction of new bosses, Heartseeker Build came into being and has skyrocketed in the rankings.
This Heartseeker Build revolves around its namesake skill. Heartseeker is a bow skill that shoots a Seeking Arrow that tracks the nearest enemy, deals damage to it, and increases your critical strike chance against affected enemies.
With Twisting Blades being nerfed in Loot Reborn, it seems like Rogue players have fewer ultimate build options than ever, but Heartseeker has quickly become the go-to build. Paired with the right Diablo 4 items, aspects, gear, and rotation, Heartseeker Build can help players clear enemies and bosses faster.
Heartseeker Rogue is one of the simpler builds in Diablo 4. The goal of this build is to deal the majority of damage by setting up the Heartseeker’s basic attacks while getting as many Victimize bonuses as possible.
The second key to this build is to make the most of your mobility. Since Rogue has less life than other classes in Diablo 4, it’s crucial to keep your distance from your opponents, and skills like Dash, Shadow Step, and Caltrops make it easy to do that. Here are all the skills you need to unlock to get this build to its full potential.
Regarding rotations, your Heartseeker Basic attack will be your primary weapon in almost every encounter. Caltrops and Smoke Grenades are effective defense mechanisms, while Dash and Shadow Step can be used both as a means of escaping and dealing extra damage. Considering that Rogues usually have low health, it’s best to keep Dark Shroud on at all times.
The main synergy for this build is between Heartseeker and Victimize, the latter of which is only unlocked at higher levels to achieve the ultimate purpose of this build being able to be invincible in the endgame.
In Diablo 4, Aspects are items that can be attached to equipment, even ordinary items can gain legendary traits or effects. Players can obtain Aspects by completing dungeons, quests, or seasonal events.
Once you have an Aspect, you can visit Occultist in any town to attach it to your equipment, provided you have enough Diablo 4 Gold and Veiled Crystals.
There are currently over 114 Aspects in the game, and you can choose from them based on your class and play style. For Heartseeker Rogue, Aspects you can choose from include: Aspect of Might, Undying Aspect, Aspect of Concussive Strikes, Umbrous Aspect, Frostbitten Aspect, and many more.
Since most of the best rare and legendary items in Diablo 4 rely entirely on random drops, it’s best to aim to farm Aspects rather than specific gear.
Here, the best unique item we can get is Harlequin Crest. This unique item is particularly useful for Heartseeker Rogue as it rewards the player with 20% damage reduction, making the class more resilient.
Again, this is a completely random drop and could come from Duriel, King of Maggots, Echo of Andariel, or any random chest in World Tier 4.
Gems are another type of item in Diablo 4 that can be slotted into gear to gain additional buffs, similar to Aspects with passive effects. The three best Gems available for this build are Royal Ruby for Armor, Sapphire for Weapon, and Diamond for Jewelry. Of course, you can also explore other options.
Sapphire Gem is by far the most important Gem in this build, as it provides 20% Vulnerability Damage, which synergizes well with Victimize passive effect you unlock.
Elixir is a consumable item that can be used in leveling and endgame activities. Elixirs that increase XP are very useful for reaching max levels quickly, but once you reach endgame content, Elixir of Poison Resistance and Elixir of Advantage become your two best options.
Elixir of Poison Resistance increases your resistance to poison as well as the rate at which you gain XP, while Elixir of Advantage benefits Heartseeker Rogue by providing Lucky Hit. To win in the endgame, you have to accumulate all the advantages you can get, and Elixirs are definitely a great way to increase your strength.
Those are all the tips and tricks you need to know to complete this Heartseeker Rogue Build. Try it now and stand till the end in the endgame!
Diablo 4 Season 4 Loot Reborn brings a lot of new content, and these changes give players more things to do and more rewards to earn when fighting enemies in Helltide.
In addition to the new content in Loot Reborn, March of the Goblins is also a new event that takes place during Season 4, celebrating Diablo 4’s first anniversary. This event is divided into two parts, both offering different rewards and different options for players.
Because the new March of the Goblins in Diablo 4 has just begun, everyone is looking for Goblins right now. So, that’s where this guide comes into play. We’ll cover how to complete this event and maximize the number of Goblins you can find and kill per hour to get more loot!
The first part of the event will see Sanctuary flooded with Treasure Goblins, allowing players to get some Diablo 4 items.
Treasure Goblins will be quite plentiful compared to their usual scarcity. They will appear more often, and their loot bags will be fuller than usual as well. You’ll also be able to pick up free cosmetic items from the in-game store of your choice.
Treasure Goblins are also rumored to travel in groups, which also allows you to hunt down more loot than usual. You can get a ton of Power Level 925 legendary items from Treasure Bags they get, which can allow you to boost your new character to a more powerful level since you can store these bags and use them later.
Additionally, this also comes with the addition of Greed Shrines. Regardless of how these Greed Shrines work, they will come with a fountain of gold and a chance to spawn more Treasure Goblins. So it’s entirely possible to grab as much loot as you can from this event and use it to craft the top-tier build of your dreams.
For the second part of the event, the main thing is that Lilith will be spreading her Mother’s Blessing on the first anniversary of her return. This buff will give you a 25% XP bonus and a 50% gold bonus. So all XP and gold you earn from any class you play in Diablo 4 will receive these bonuses.
These bonuses will apply to all World Tiers and Seasonal and Eternal Realms. You can stack it with any other bonus you have so that you can fight your way through Sanctuary and become more powerful than ever before.
To become more efficient at farming Goblins, the first thing you have to do is go to Occultist and craft Nightmare Sigils. Of course, you’d better choose a tier of Nightmare Dungeon that you can easily pass.
Next, look at Nightmare Sigil you made and check the green affix on Sigil. What you are looking for are Sigils with Extra Shrines Affix. You can salvage all the unneeded Sigils, make more Sigils, check their green affix, and repeat.
Once you have a bunch of Sigils with Extra Shrines Affix, all you have to do is open and run the corresponding Nightmare Dungeon, completing the objectives until you reach the boss.
In March of the Goblins, Greed Shrines have a chance to spawn Treasure Goblins when you kill enemies. So kill as many enemies as you can while you have Shrine effect on you. The best outcome is to have a Cursed Greed Shrine, as enemies will constantly spawn above you in this case.
Besides this, you can also find pairs of Treasure Goblins randomly in dungeons. Once you reach the dungeon’s boss, you can kill it to get the loot and glyph leveling, or you can just teleport out and start the next Nightmare Dungeon and repeat.
This method is not as strong for Sigil crafting as you might think, because you get a free Sigil after completing the boss, and Goblins themselves also have a high chance to drop Nightmare Sigil. Unfortunately, Goblins’ loot drops are really bad at the moment.
So, in the end, I want to talk about what is the fastest way to get Power Level 925 gear from Goblins.
But at the start of the event, as always, it was bugged right away: the highest level Goblin would not drop high level loot right away, but instead would drop a bag with Item Power 855 or something similar. Now, luckily, there is a way to fix this bug until the developers manage to fix this. And that fix is what we want to talk about here.
Like before, all you have to do is go to Occultist and craft a Nightmare Sigil between level 36 and 40. Next, check the green affix on Sigil you crafted, and look for Sigils with Extra Shrines Affix.
Once you have a bunch of level 36 to 40 Sigils with Extra Shrines Affix, all you have to do is open and run the corresponding Nightmare Dungeon, completing objectives but only killing a handful of monsters to advance the dungeon all the way to the boss.
You can also find pairs of Treasure Goblins randomly in dungeons. If your character is level 100, these, unlike Goblins in higher tier Nightmare Dungeons, drop bags containing Power Level 925 gear, so you won’t be stuck with low-level loot.
Again, this method has lower Sigil crafting requirements than you might think, so you should be able to do this an unlimited number of times without running out of Sigil Powder.
That’s all you need to know about March of the Goblins event. Jump in and enjoy the anniversary party!
For players, choosing the class that is more suitable for them in the game is a big dilemma. Because the class choice is the most important decision, a player will make, it will affect every way they interact with the game. Therefore, this guide will give you direction on choosing the class in the game based on leveling difficulty, ability to farm end-game content, boss fight viability, and build diversity.
All classes in Diablo 4 Season 4 are viable and can reach level 50 and complete end-game content without encountering too much challenge. But the changes to Diablo 4 items, crafting, and world events in Loot Reborn have fundamentally changed the class rankings. While all classes in Loot Reborn have generally become stronger, certain classes are still ranked higher than others.
Although the meta in Loot Reborn is still being explored by players and has not yet been finalized, current information has given some indications about how the rankings may eventually look. Let’s take a look at which classes are more worth choosing!
Sorcerer is by far the best ranged choice for Diablo 4 players since the game’s release. Of the classes listed in this guide, Sorcerer is the best class for rushing to level 50 quickly.
Between the various elemental magics, Fire, Ice, and Lightning damage all provide very useful build paths that are fairly simple for new players. Specialized builds such as Chain Lightning and Fire Sorcerer provide excellent AoE damage that can clear dungeons and encounters at an incredible speed.
Despite Sorcerer’s excellent AoE damage, it is inevitable that there are disadvantages. Survivability and single target damage are two important factors in end-game activities, especially against bosses and Uber bosses.
Due to Sorcerer’s low health, the end-game survivability of this class is the major problem. This class also has little room for error in the more difficult boss fights. Therefore, if used alone, Sorcerer players may have a hard time in the endgame.
While some builds have been able to keep up with end-game content, such as Ball Lightning, few Sorcerer builds have strayed away from AoE damage. As a result, Sorcerer is a great addition to any team if they have teammates.
In Season 4, Rogue has shifted towards its ranged options, prioritizing Barrage, Penetrating Shot, and similar options. No build can match the strength of Rogue in the past, and even Twisting Blades builds, one of the strongest builds ever in Diablo 4, has been nerfed.
Despite Rogue’s shift towards its ranged options, melee builds are still a viable option for this versatile class, but you can expect it to deal much less damage than last season. It also has relatively weak health pools compared to Barbarian and Druid. Rogue players in Diablo 4 will start to feel the limitations of their class as they reach end-game content, similar to Sorcerer.
Rogue avoids the bottom of the pack with excellent single-target damage and easily levels up from level 1 to 50, but is nowhere near as good as higher ranked classes. Rogue players also have a harder time farming end-game content such as Helltides due to their lack of strong AoE abilities.
You can use Diablo 4 Gold to help Rogue level up and improve its combat capabilities.
For players just starting out in Diablo 4, Barbarian is very accessible. Despite the fact that the class has been nerfed so much that it has fallen off the charts, Barbarian’s health, single-target damage, and area damage options are powerful tools that allow players to thrive in Diablo 4’s main story and most of the add-on game options.
Hammer of the Ancients and Charge builds that dominated Season 3 have been thoroughly buried. Players have generated several new viable options to replace Hammer of the Ancients build. Double Swing Dust Devil is a powerful build that can wipe out end-game content with a tornado that deals sustained damage. Bash build can deal equally devastating area damage when paired with Tempering Affix.
Recent nerfs balance out the melee class abilities that Season 4 may have over-tuned. As Developer has been working hard to develop other often-overlooked classes, Barbarian is far from a bad class.
Druid is a class that can easily turn players off. On the one hand. This class is difficult to get started with. On the other hand, this class is very slow to level up. Even during this long leveling process, Druid offers a lot of build options, but there is also the problem of fast farming plot and end-game content before level 100.
If you can make it to the end of the game with a Druid, then you have one of the best Diablo classes ever.
While Druid has both melee and caster options, its morphing components are better than ever and are easily the most popular build option at the moment.
Tornado Werewolf Druids are only rivaled by Hammer of Ancients Barbarians from Season 3. This incredible build has screen-clearing damage capabilities and has long been one of the best builds in Diablo 4.
Additionally, Druid’s survivability is excellent, with plenty of shields, healing, and other defensive options. Whether it’s fighting an Uber Boss alone or clearing a Nightmare dungeon, few classes can do a better job than Druid.
In Season 4, minions received a base damage increase, along with a stun effect, meaning minions will be doing most of the work for this caster class. The moment developers decided to buff Necromancer’s army of minions, the class’s priority quickly rose.
The class’s core function, summons, is more powerful than ever and has few rivals. This makes it hard to believe that Necromancer was once the worst class in Diablo 4.
However, the class is not the best for leveling, and Bone Necromancers are easily one of the weakest individual builds in the game.
In addition to summons, Blood and Corpse Explosion builds are also better than ever for clearing early and end-game content. If you choose to test Skeleton Army Calling build, you will quickly transform Diablo 4 from an action-adventure game to an RTS, taking control of any battlefield.
If you have never played Necromancer in Diablo 4, or have avoided it due to the early weaknesses of this profession, now is the time to experience it.
Through these professions introduced in this guide, you have learned about the upgrade difficulty, the ability to farm endgame content, the feasibility of boss battles, and the diversity of construction. I believe you must have your favorite career choice, go and experience your game journey!
In this guide, I want to talk about and explain the so-called Pity Mechanism related to Tempering in Diablo 4 Season 4. I will also try to describe as simply as possible what it means to the average player, and how you can take advantage of it.
The reason I focused on it is that the use of Pity mechanic seems to be limited to the high-end elite player base, because they are used to reading forums and theory articles and the like. And the average person either doesn’t know about it or doesn’t understand it enough to use it to their advantage.
I hope this guide will change that, because if you are not familiar with this, you may ruin some excellent Diablo 4 items for your character.
So, to understand Pity mechanic, first we have to explain a few things about Tempering.
Tempering is unlocked at level 15, based on finding and learning Temper Manuals, which have Weapons, Offensive, Defensive, Utility, Mobility, and Resource recipe categories. Each item has up to two slots that can hold Tempered Affixes. After each Manual is found and learned, they can be applied to gear repeatedly, infinitely, as long as you have the required materials.
During Tempering process, you can add affixes to an item by randomly selecting them from a pool of affixes.
Often, players want to add one specific affix to an item, while the other possible affixes are useless, or at least less useful. If you get the wrong affix, you have 5 chances to re-roll them, but if at the end of the re-roll you still don’t get the affix you want, you can’t change the wrong affix added to the item. When this happens, we call it “bricking”.
I’ll try to explain this with an example. Let’s say we want to add “Chance for Frozen Orb Projectiles to Cast Twice” affix to our weapon. We Temper the weapon once, twice, and five times, but we still can’t get the desired stat after these rolls.
Now the weapon is unusable, and you can’t remove this new, bad affix from the weapon. It will be stuck there forever. Your weapons are not nearly as powerful as they would be if you rolled the affix you wanted.
However, this is where Pity mechanic comes into play. With Pity mechanic, if you play your cards right, you can increase your chances of adding the affix you want, Tempered, to your items. But only if you know how to exploit it.
It is important to note that Pity mechanic has not yet been confirmed by the developers. It is still just a theory, but more and more evidence is piling up to prove its existence. What this means is that if you don’t get a certain affix on your Tempering roll, the game essentially pities you. To compensate, it increases the chances of that affix appearing the next time you Temper. Now this isn’t a 100% increase, but it is noticeable.
Another important feature of Pity mechanic is that it stacks. Every time you roll an affix other than the one in question, the chances of getting the affix you didn’t roll increase. So if you roll an affix twice that is different from the one you want, your chances of getting that affix on the third roll are greater than if you got it on the second roll.
Will this mechanism be complex? Maybe, but let me give you an example again. We want to Temper this weapon with “Chance for Frozen Orb Projectiles to Cast Twice” affix. To maximize our chances, we can start Tempering with another useless weapon.
The goal here is to get any affix except the desired affix. And the point of this operation is that because of Pity mechanism, each time we fail a roll, our chance of getting the desired affix on the next roll will be greater.
So, to be more efficient, we Temper the useless weapon until we miss the desired affix three times in a row. This way, on the next roll, on our actual excellent weapon, the chance of getting the desired affix will increase by 3 times.
Let’s say our average roll chance of the desired affix is 25%, and because of the 3 previous rolls we failed, we increase this chance by 15% each time, so the chance increases by 45%, up to a total of 70%.
Now we don’t know the exact numbers, but this is how Pity mechanism seems to work. Based on all of this data I just explained, when Tempering high-end items for specific affixes, I recommend tempering useless items in the same slot first until you roll 3 times with an affix other than the one you want. Then, proceed to tempering your actual good items. If you do everything right, you should have a much better chance of getting the affix you want.
Of course, I must warn you that this chance is not a guarantee, but this trick should save you from failure and losing a lot of very powerful items.
That’s it! With these tips you’ll be on your way to getting your desired Tempering items in Diablo 4 Season 4 much faster. Hopefully, you’ve learned something from this guide. Good luck!
In this guide, I want to talk about the easiest ways to get Resplendent Sparks, and how you can get Uber Unique items, such as Harlequin Crest, through these methods.
As you probably already know, if you have 4 Resplendent Sparks at an Alchemist, you can craft any Uber Unique item. So the purpose of this guide is to introduce you to the different possible ways to get Resplendent Sparks, so that you can find the method that works best for you. Without further ado, let’s get straight into it!
Again, you’ll need 4 total to craft this Uber Unique of your choice.
The first Resplendent Sparks comes from the first Tormented Boss you kill. These are level 200 bosses that are much tougher to deal with than their lower-level counterparts. What’s more, summoning them not only requires 3 times as many materials but also 2 Stygian Stones.
In my opinion, the weakest Tormented Boss is Lord Zir, so if you want to try to take on one of these bosses and win a Spark, consider him. Unfortunately, you can only get this Resplendent Spark once, no matter how many characters you level up.
The second Resplendent Spark comes from killing Uber Lilith for the first time. Don’t underestimate it, this endgame is much more difficult than previous seasons, but it’s easy to find a stronger character to help you get through the encounter and get some Diablo 4 Gold.
I once encountered a bug here, where we didn’t get a Resplendent Spark as a reward when we killed Lilith. But don’t worry, this problem has been fixed recently.
Again, this Spark can only be obtained once, no matter how many characters you kill Uber Lilith with.
The third Resplendent Spark comes from Iron Wolves Reputation. As you kill monsters and complete events in Helltide, you’ll unlock different tiers of caches at Iron Wolf Camp, the last of which contains a Resplendent Spark.
It’s worth noting that Iron Wolves Reputation grinding can be done once per character, so this is also a potential source of infinite Sparks. We’ll go into more tips on this farming method later.
The fourth way to get a Resplendent Spark is by looting and salvaging an Uber Unique item.
You can get these Diablo 4 items randomly from any monster, though the drop chance is very low. You can also get them from summoned bosses, like Varshan and Beast in Ice, with slightly higher chances. Of course, the best way to get them is from Duriel and Andariel, with a 2% chance per kill. This chance increases if you kill Tormented Boss.
Really, only Duriel and Andariel can be targeted for farming Uber Unique items, as the drop chances from other bosses are very low.
The meta seems to be fighting Tormented version of Duriel, as it is much easier than Andariel.
Even though these are the only sources of Resplendent Spark, you can cheat the system by recognizing that two of them are duplicates. This means you can get 4 Uber Uniques from Duriel. You can salvage them to get a Resplendent Spark, then craft an Uber of your choice. Be warned, though, that this requires quite a bit of luck.
The same is true for Iron Wolf quest-line. You can level up multiple characters, max out Iron Wolves Reputation on each, and you’ll be able to get one Spark for each maxed reputation. This method requires no luck, just grinding.
In summary, my suggestions for the quickest or easiest way to get an Uber Unique item are as follows: Kill a Tormented Boss to get 1 Spark. Then max out your main character’s Iron Wolves Reputation to get the second Spark.
Then, for the remaining 2 Sparks, you have a few options:
First, I highly recommend using your summoning materials and Stygian Stones to get into a group that takes turns summoning and killing Uber Duriel. You might get lucky and get an Uber Unique item that you can salvage. If you like collecting summoning materials and killing bosses, you can repeat this step infinitely until you get 4 Sparks.
If your character is strong enough, or you have a powerful friend who can help you, kill Uber Lilith so you can get a free Spark.
If none of the above methods work for you, and you like leveling up trumpets, leveling up several trumpets in Helltide and grinding Iron Wolves Reputation with all of them is also a good option.
This way, you can actually get an unlimited amount of Uber Unique items if you’re willing to put in the time and effort. I recommend checking out our Iron Wolves Reputation farming guide to minimize the pain.
That’s it! Hopefully, this information will help you get Uber Unique you need as quickly as possible. Do you have any better suggestions? See you next time!
