In Diablo 4 Season 5, equipping Sorcerers with the right Uniques will greatly improve the class’s effectiveness. With the upcoming Season of the Infernal Hordes, Sorcerers are expected to become one of the strongest classes in the game, perhaps second only to Rogues.
Therefore, it is particularly important to pick out Uniques that are crucial to Sorcerer builds. We have done some research to find out which Uniques can significantly enhance Sorcerer builds and have compiled them.
However, the information provided here is not a complete list of Uniques available for Sorcerers in Diablo 4 Season 5. For example, although the newly appeared Axial Conduit is not included, it does not mean that it is not useful for certain builds. In fact, Sorcerers with Chain Lightning can benefit from this equipment.
Here are some of our picks for common items and the builds they are suitable for. To maximize the potential of Sorcerers, players may want to use Diablo 4 Gold to acquire the following key equipment.
Useful in:
In Diablo 4 Season 5, Sorcerers have a rich selection of Uniques. Among them, Flickerstep appear frequently, which is quite surprising to me. It can play an important role in a variety of Sorcerer builds. Especially for builds that rely on frequent release of ultimate skills, Flickerstep is undoubtedly a popular choice.
Every time you dodge an enemy, the cooldown of your Ultimate skill can be reduced by up to 10 seconds. These shoes can provide damage reduction to melee enemies and increase the damage of Ultimate skills. In addition, their baseline ability allows attacks to reduce Evade’s cooldown by 1.5 seconds, making it easier to evade and cast skills continuously.

Tal Rasha’s Iridescent Loop is undoubtedly the key item for Sorcerer builds in Diablo 4 Season 5. Since its introduction, it has become one of the best spellcasting rings. Although many Sorcerer builds focus on a certain type of damage output, they are not completely limited to a single damage type, as different elemental damage can often be combined with each other.
Tal Rasha’s Iridescent Loop adds bonus damage to each elemental damage dealt by Sorcerer for 4 seconds, ranging from 10-15% to 40-60%. These buffs refresh every time elemental damage is dealt, making it easier to defeat enemies. In addition, it significantly increases resistance, Non-Physical Damage, Resource Generation, Lucky Hit Chance, and Cooldown Reduction.
Useful in:
As a Mythic Unique, Ring of Starless Skies is applicable across almost all builds. Although we mentioned a few builds that are suitable for it, it is actually a must-have for those classes that consume a lot of Primary Resource. Besides providing Resistance to All Elements and buffs to Attack Speed, Critical Strike Chance, Lucky Hit Chance, and new + Ranks to Core Skills, it does much more than that.
Using Primary Resource reduces Resource cost of skills and increases damage by 10% for 3 seconds, up to 50%. This is undoubtedly a significant damage increase. Ring of Starless Skies was already an impactful item in Diablo 4 Season 5, and with the addition of an extra level, it’s even more powerful for Sorcerers.
Useful in :
Tyrael’s Might has been significantly revamped in Diablo 4 Season 5, becoming a Mythic Unique. This core item now also comes with Ignore Durability Loss and several other great stats, including increased Movement Speed, increased Maximum Resistance to All Elements, increased Resistance to All Elements, and Damage Reduction. It also has a new gem socket, further expanding its potential for tanking and damage dealing.
In addition, Tyrael’s Might can also enhance attacks as long as the character is not taking damage. It causes all skills to cast divine barrage, dealing additional damage. To achieve this, players need to constantly dodge attacks or have a strong Shield stat.
Useful in:
Harlequin’s Crest, also known as Shako, is still one of the most popular items in Diablo 4 Season 5. Although it lost +stats in the recent update, the new features make it even more attractive. It now provides +Maximum Life, + Resource, + Armor, and + Cooldown Reduction. This amazing green hood helmet also adds a Socket.
As an item, Shako combines the advantages of defense and damage enhancement. On top of the existing damage reduction, it provides an additional 20% flat damage reduction and adds +4 Skill Ranks to all skills. These features make it one of the best items in the game. The only ones who won’t benefit directly from this piece of gear are those builds that have to use other helmets because of specific needs.
The new season is here. Jump in and start your Sorcerer builds with the above Uniques to see how Sorcerers shine in Diablo 4.
Even the most experienced Diablo 4 players can hardly guarantee that they will not make any mistakes in the game since the first season - of course, this refers to mistakes that can be ignored, not the kind of behavior that is so obvious that it will ruin everything.
In a few weeks, Diablo 4 will officially launch Season 9 on July 1, which also marks the end of Season 8 and the two-year anniversary event. It’s too late to save your mediocre Season 8 from now, but for Season 9, everything has not yet begun.
Based on this, we will point out several wrong decisions that you may still make even in Season 9 to avoid wasting the gameplay value of the new gameplay provided by the new season.
As you know, Diablo 4 has a clearly graded difficulty system, including Standard difficulty and Torment difficulty. Both difficulties have 4 levels and different unlocking conditions. They are:
Standard Difficulty
Torment Difficulty
Not only do the difficulty levels increase in challenge in the order above, but the amount, chance, and rarity of Diablo 4 gold, XP, and gear you can get after completing battles of the corresponding difficulty will also increase.
As a result, you may rush to challenge the new difficulty level just after unlocking it because you are eager to accumulate loot. This may lead to two results:
Or there is another possibility, that is, you are too cautious after considering the above situation, and stay in the low difficulty for too long, which delays the character growth process and the opportunity to earn rare items faster.
Therefore, you need to arrange the timing of entering the next difficulty reasonably on the premise of fully understanding your own abilities and the conditions of each difficulty level.
Usually, you will reach level 50 after completing the campaign. At this time, don’t rush to enter Penitent, but fully farm all available resources at Expert difficulty to complete Penitent more safely, and this strategy also applies to the subsequent Torment difficulty.
Admittedly, when dealing with those small soldiers or low-level bosses, you can directly turn on automatic combat or press a few keys corresponding to common skills to quickly complete the battle. But it’s hard to say whether this will make you dependent.
For example, Sorcerer may ignore Ice Armor because of Fireball, and overcasting Rapid Fire will cause Rogue to miss the combat effect of Rain of Vengeance - no single skill is always reliable.
In addition, automatic combat is not completely intelligent. At least from the perspective of boss mechanism, especially those high-level bosses, they require you to develop more flexible skill selection and rotation strategies on your own, and improvise in battle to be defeated.
In fact, flexible combat strategies can not only help you win faster and more safely, but also save lives and resources so that you can gain an advantage in long battles.
The principle of this misunderstanding is actually the same as the difficulty selection. As a special Diablo 4 endgame dungeon, The Pit has a total of 150 levels, and the difficulty and loot quality are gradually increasing.
If you are a player who makes mistakes in choosing the game difficulty and no one corrects you, then you are likely to make the same mistakes when exploring The Pit.
In addition, based on properly arranging the exploration route of The Pit, to improve the efficiency of clearing, you can focus on concentrated enemy clusters and use glyph bonuses to increase combat speed or item drop probability.
Although in general, the higher the level or rarity of gear, the better, you cannot stack rare gear on your character indiscriminately. Each gear has its own characteristics, suitable for different classes, builds and combat styles, and some have significant resistance to specific bosses.
Therefore, the choice and equipment of gear requires you to make reasonable arrangements after fully considering the above factors. Sometimes it is more important to suit you than whether the gear is rare.
Perhaps you will choose to skip all narrative plots and Cutscenes when completing the prologue or campaign of Diablo 4 because you are eager to farm gold and XP, but to be honest, this has almost no benefit except saving time.
For any MMORPG with a complete story, the details and foreshadowing in the plot development are actually likely to have certain inspirations for you to complete the difficult content, which can improve your efficiency in completing related battles.
From a literary and aesthetic point of view, these plots also echo the aesthetic style of the game. Watching them will allow you to more personally experience the formation of the background and the changes in the character’s personality in Diablo 4, and even the stories of various regions.
Of course, it does not mean that avoiding the above misunderstandings will make your Diablo 4 Season 9 journey smooth, but it will definitely be better than not knowing this information! In any case, your core task after entering the new season is always to strengthen your character.
With the end of 2.3.0 PTR, it also means the end of Season 8 and the arrival of Season 9. In Diablo 4, the season change is always so fast, perhaps to avoid you getting bored after losing interest in the current season.
Of course, in the season change, Diablo 4 finally ushered in the second anniversary during Season 8. Most games will launch celebration events mainly to give back to players at this commemorative time, and Diablo 4 is no exception.
Based on this, we will introduce you to the main content of this anniversary celebration and give you some tips for a better gaming experience.
The launch date of the game itself is June 1, 2023, but whether it is this year or last year, the celebration time is not completely fixed on June 1, but is held in a set interval within June.
This year’s commemorative event started at 10am PDT on June 3rd and will last until the 17th, about 2 weeks. Although the start time has been adjusted, the duration is basically the same as last year.
Last year’s first anniversary event was held together with the second anniversary of Diablo Immortal. The joint celebration of the two games made the atmosphere in the game more lively.
Although I don’t know why they were not promoted together this year, the time of the event overlaps. If you need it, you can also experience the limited-time new event in Immortal.
Last year’s Diablo 4 anniversary event included three parts, namely March of the Goblins (the celebration is also named after this), receiving gifts, and Mother’s Blessing. Although this year there are also three events, the content is different.
As you know, the new content launched with Season 8 includes the new battle pass system Reliquary. Reliquary rewards set for special events usually require you to consume the relevant special currency to obtain them. For example, Behelits corresponding to Berserk crossover.
But the good news is that Reliquary rewards of this 2nd Anniversary can be directly redeemed by Diablo 4 gold! If you know enough about Diablo 4, you will know that this is indeed a big benefit. Because the drop rate of ordinary gold is much higher than that of special currency.
To show the grandeur of the celebration, 2nd Anniversary Event Reliquary provides many unique and beautiful cosmetics, including:
Until the end of the entire anniversary event, you can earn gold for reward redemption by completing seasonal tasks, clearing dungeons, or defeating bosses. It is worth mentioning that if you can collect all the above cosmetics within the specified time, you will also get The Burning Dawn Mount Armor.
In fact, this event is not limited to the anniversary celebration. Diablo 4 also holds it frequently, but this does not mean that it is useless. The loot bonus rate brought by Mother’s Blessing can have a great positive effect on your resource accumulation.
During this Mother’s Blessing, whether your character is a seasonal exclusive or in Eternal Realm, you will receive a 35% multiplier on XP and a 50% gold acquisition rate after the battle.
This will not only allow you to earn more gold in a short period, increasing the likelihood of earning all 2nd Anniversary Event Reliquary rewards, but also lay a solid resource foundation for the upcoming Season 9.
As one of the main components of Diablo 4 endgame, Tree of Whispers will issue a series of bounty missions. These missions are spread across the game map, and you can complete them one by one within the specified time as needed.
After that, you will receive a special currency, Grim Favors, which can be exchanged for exclusive caches when you go to Tree of Whispers again. Open them and you may get rare gear!
In addition to the normal caches, the 2nd Anniversary will allow you to get an additional Gift of the Tree cache every time you exchange Grim Favors, which will appear when you open the normal caches!
To get enough Grim Favors to redeem more Gift of the Tree cache, you need to actively farm dungeons, bosses, and other daily events that are included in bounty quests. At the same time, these quests actually reward you with Diablo 4 gold, and the gold drop rate is increased due to Mother’s Blessing effect.
So you can focus on Tree of Whispers bounties and find the quests that drop more gold, so that you can fully utilize all the celebration events in a single battle!
Above is all about Diablo 4 2nd Anniversary. Please take the time to enjoy this celebration! Have fun!
Although 2.3.0 PTR has ended, it is certain that all the new content that will be launched in Diablo 4 Season 9 must include two new dungeons, namely Escalating Nightmares and Horadric Strongrooms.
Among them, Escalating Nightmares can be regarded as an upgraded version of Nightmare Dungeon, one of the inherent Diablo 4 dungeons, while Horadric Strongrooms is a seasonal dungeon launched specifically for Season 9, just like S7’s Rootholds.
However, although these two new dungeons do not completely belong to the same system, they can not only all bring you a lot of Diablo 4 gold to farm, but also have connections with each other. Next, we will introduce them to you one by one.
As a new endgame event, this new dungeon actually connects 3 separate traditional Nightmare Dungeons in series, providing you with the opportunity to get more rewards by expanding the difficulty and scope of exploration.
To enter Escalating Nightmares, you first need to obtain Escalation Sigils that unlock the first dungeon, and the second two dungeons require you to carry the affix of the previous dungeon to enter.
After you obtain Escalation Sigils, it will tell you which Escalating Nightmares dungeon you should enter first, and show you all the negative and positive affixes you will encounter.
Because just like the normal Nightmare Dungeons, all three dungeons in Escalating Nightmares have their own positive and negative dungeon affixes, and the affixes you have will stack as you progress through the clearing process.
Later, when you defeat the final boss to complete the current dungeon, a special pillar will appear on the screen, which will teleport you to the next dungeon in Escalating Nightmares.
As you know, Escalating Nightmares is actually a combined advanced version of the regular nightmare dungeons, so the specific gameplay differences are not very big.
In general, you will still trigger random events or encounter various bosses in Escalating Nightmares, and defeating them will get rewards, including gear of varying quality, gold, and Obols.
As the key item to unlock Escalating Nightmares, the acquisition of Escalation Sigils is actually related to another new dungeon in Season 9, Horadric Strongrooms.
In fact, this is why we say that there is a connection between Escalating Nightmares and Horadric Strongrooms. You can only get this item by completing Strongrooms in Torment difficulty and opening Horadric caches.
As a Season 9 limited dungeon, Horadric Strongrooms is actually a small treasure room hidden in Escalating Nightmares and ordinary nightmare dungeons, bringing you new rewards and fun with additional adventures.
Since the entrances to Strongrooms are randomly hidden in Escalating Nightmares and normal Nightmares, and Strongrooms must be completed to open the former, the first thing you need to do is to collect Nightmare Sigils to enter Nightmare Dungeon.
You can then utilize Wayfinder to look out for unique sounds and flashes while exploring Nightmare Dungeon, and where they are located will be Horadric Gateways.
Although the appearance of gateways is random, you can increase the probability of them appearing in other ways, including:
After activating the gateway, you will encounter a wave of ambushed enemies. Kill them to open the gateway and enter the dungeon. Next, you need to activate Horadric Artifact Pillar and kill the enemies that appear to complete the initial ritual. Then continue to interact with the pillar to change the conditions of the final rituals.
Next, please kill new enemies according to the requirements of these conditions to summon the final boss of the current Horadric Strongroom. After killing it and confirming that all enemies in the dungeon have been cleared, the new gateway will take you back to where you were before entering Strongroom.
It is worth noting that the higher the game difficulty when entering Strongroom, the more artifact pillars you need to choose. Some of these pillars will provide buffs, while others will increase rewards and bring additional dangers due to the corruption caused by the boss Astaroth.
After completing Horadric Strongrooms, the first thing you get is Horadric Attunement and a cache. You can think of the former as a kind of points, because the number of rewards you get after opening the cache depends on your Attunement.
In addition to regular rewards and Escalation Sigils, if your Attunement count exceeds 2000, you may also get a rare elixir through cache.
The above is the connection between the two new dungeons in Season 9 and their respective gameplay. I hope it will be helpful for your future battles in the new season!
Playing games seems to be just one of the simplest daily entertainments, but if you want to improve your gaming experience in all aspects, there are actually many related factors.
Take Diablo 4 as an example. From the game itself, the influencing factors include the richness and rationality of the playable content, whether the style and music are attractive enough; from other perspectives, it includes the configuration of devices and the operation settings.
Therefore, when you are looking for Diablo 4 game guides, in addition to teaching you how to craft builds or how to clear dungeons to earn more Diablo 4 gold, there will also be bloggers focusing on evaluating devices and different game settings.
Recently, Diablo 4 will usher in the 2nd anniversary celebration at the end of Season 8, and then Season 9 will be launched. Based on this, we will recommend you 6 new settings suitable for immediate application to help you improve the game’s operation smoothness from the end of Season 8.
This setting compares the statistics of items side by side to highlight the differences in their attributes to help you determine which items are more suitable for your character. This is very necessary for you to improve your character’s strength efficiently.
Oddly, this setting and the next advanced tooltip information are turned off by default when you first enter the game. As a result, when you compare items, the tooltip only shows the main attributes, the equipment appearance, and the temper it may have.
But if you want to see advanced gear information such as attribute range or lucky hit rate, you must turn on the advanced tooltip compare setting. Since you need to change gear frequently during different battles, more gear information that can be directly seen and compared can help you understand your gains and losses when changing or upgrading gear.
You can think of this setting as a supplementary reference content for tooltip compare, because even if you know all the information about the corresponding gear through tooltip compare, you may not know how to upgrade the gear in a targeted manner next.
Based on this, this setting will utilize different colors to mark the specific circumstances in which your items may gain or lose properties and other modifiers. Although this function is not very meaningful after you enter the endgame, it is very useful when you are upgrading your character in the early stage.
The function of this setting is that when you select a quest or a destination of a quest in the game log, the system will automatically place a map marker at the corresponding location, and then your mini-map will directly show you the route to the selected destination.
On this basis, it is recommended that you combine it with your HUD compass. This will cause an arrow to appear on the screen as a guide to move forward, so you don’t have to keep staring at the minimap. You can also further set the arrow to any color you think is eye-catching to make the guidance more clear.
After selecting a quest, the arrow will point toward the quest. All you have to do is open the quest menu and click on the corresponding quest. You will find a small arrow and a small line pointing to it, and follow the instructions to explore.
When you enter a dungeon or other special area where enemies appear in groups or the surrounding environment is dark, you will find that you may not find your character! This is undoubtedly a big negative impact on your game experience.
The game takes this into account and launches player highlights and other related settings or features. Just turn on this setting and click Save Changes. When you return to the game, you will see a glow around your character, so that you will be able to easily see where your character is in any situation.
It is worth noting that the color of the character’s highlight light can be customized, so you can change it as needed, because the background color of different dungeons or scenes should also be different. In addition, the mouse can also be set to high-contrast highlights like the character. After all, when the battle is chaotic, it is less conspicuous than the character.
When you encounter those enemies and bosses in Diablo 4 that are huge or good at utilizing explosive skills, or your builds have features such as super fast attack speed or super high attack power, then you may find that the screen will shake with certain effects during the battle.
This is actually because your screen shake setting is turned on. This special effect can provide a certain sense of reality in your battle. But to be honest, not every Diablo 4 player likes this, and sometimes it may cause additional lag, so you can turn it on or off according to your needs.
This setting is more suitable for you to enable when you utilize PC to play Diablo 4, because under normal circumstances, when you control the character through PC, you always need to click different directions with the mouse, which is not troublesome, but it will make your hands tired.
After turning on the force move setting, no matter how you operate, even if you stay in the stopped position, you will still move. In this way, as long as you adapt to this function, both fighting in the game and daily exploration will become faster, and you will feel more comfortable physiologically.
There are many adjustable settings in Diablo 4, but the above 6 settings will have the most intuitive impact on changing your gaming experience, and they should still work in Season 9!
Unknowingly, Diablo 4 has accompanied you for two years through 8 seasons. Although it has not always performed well, at least it has brought you a good Sanctuary adventure time. Now the second anniversary will come with Season 9.
Diablo 4 officially launched on June 5, 2023, and the currently confirmed release time of Season 9 is July 1 this year (PTR will end on June 3). Therefore, the two-year anniversary celebration event should actually be held at the end of Season 8.
But to be honest, as the opening work of the third year, even if the ninth season cannot participate in the two-year anniversary celebration itself, it should launch more innovative gameplay besides the content shown in the PTR before the official launch to show that the game itself still has development potential.
Based on this, we will introduce you to the events that may be held on the second anniversary, and what additional content we hope Season 9 can bring.
In June 2024, to commemorate the first anniversary of the game, from June 6 to June 20, Diablo 4 brought a series of celebration events including Treasure Goblin, Mother’s Blessing and more. You can get free cosmetic props and Diablo 4 gold and XP bonus opportunities by playing these content.
Although the celebration method this year has not been fully announced and may change, one thing remains unchanged, that is, everything should be based on providing rewards for you! And this year’s reward method is likely to be Reliquary.
It is expected that this celebration event will provide you with a free Reliquary, which may be a combination of a large amount of gold, new cosmetics, new theme rewards, etc. - after all, the anniversary reward cannot be set too single and simple.
This mechanism is a new form of battle pass launched in Season 8, divided into battle pass Reliquaries and event Reliquaries. The former is related to the daily progress of the game, while the latter is set for special events, such as the upcoming two-year anniversary celebration.
Compared with the previous battle pass, the biggest advantage of Reliquary is that you can decide the priority of obtaining rewards according to your own wishes, rather than in a fixed order. In this way, you can arrange the game progress exploration by yourself.
To be honest, although the mechanism itself is very good, it was complained by players for being too scarce when it was applied in Season 8. It seems that Diablo 4 completely regards it as a profit tool rather than a welfare mechanism.
Based on this, Reliquary provided through the anniversary celebration this time should be the product of the game after learning lessons, so both the quantity and quality of rewards should be better.
Rewards are one aspect, and the way to provide rewards is actually very important! It is fun to get free rewards directly, but it will be more fulfilling to earn rewards through your own efforts. Therefore, in addition to Reliquary, adding new tasks and gameplay should also be good.
To this end, the game can learn from last year’s practice and re-launch the classic Diablo 4 event Treasure Goblin, and get corresponding rewards by hunting these special creatures. In fact, this event was also held in March this year, and the response was still good.
In the past two seasons, Diablo 4 has been considered lacking innovation. Even the highly anticipated Berserk cooperation event was ultimately just another inducement to consumption. Therefore, the game can completely utilize this celebration to combine rewards with new gameplay to change its reputation.
Although the two-year anniversary celebration should end before the launch of the season, it would be a bit ridiculous if the celebration performed better than the new season.
According to 2.3.0 PTR, the known highlights of Season 9 include the new boss Astaroth, the new power Horadric Spells (and a series of related mechanisms), as well as the update of the nightmare dungeon and the addition of Horadric Strongrooms dungeon.
Among them, the new Escalating Nightmares, as a new endgame dungeon, is actually a chain dungeon consisting of three nightmare dungeons. Each individual dungeon has stackable affixes, and the difficulty of the dungeon will increase as you explore deeper.
Season 9 seasonal power Horadric Spells actually allow you to combine Catalysts, Infusions, and Arcana, three abilities that each have multiple types of power, to craft the combat power that best suits you.
No matter what specific power is utilized, the ultimate goal is to kill or weaken the enemy, but in 2.3.0 PTR, you will find that if you utilize Propulsion as a Catalyst, the large-scale explosion effect it produces can be combined with Floaty Bobble Arcana to form a special teleportation effect in the arena.
On this basis, if you further combine it with Bloody Charm Arcana, you can also kill enemies with less than 20% health in the explosion and reset the skill. In other words, as long as there are enemies nearby that will be killed by the explosion, you can achieve permanent teleportation in this way!
In order to accumulate key resources such as gold and XP, you need to actively farm various dungeons after the start of Season 9, and the teleportation effect provided by this series of Horadric Spells will greatly improve your combat efficiency because your speed and accuracy have been improved.
Although Diablo 4 is always used to cancel or weaken such accidental events in the PTR in the official season, this function is completely worth retaining. Because it does not destroy the game balance too much, and also provides game fun for players.
In short, whether it is a new season or a new celebration, it is worth looking forward to. Fortunately, they are not far away!
Because of the mediocre performance of Diablo 4 in the past two seasons, which has caused complaints from players, the game has brought news of the new season faster than ever before, and opened 2.3.0 PTR on May 27.
Although this may divert your attention, no matter what, the work at hand still needs to be done! Even if you have lost interest and confidence in Season 8, completing the reward tasks will lay a solid foundation for you to enter Season 9.
In order to restore the reputation of the season as much as possible before the end, Diablo 4 Season 8 also released patch 2.2.2 on May 27. The patch does not contain many changes, but Masterworking craft-related ones should be the most concerned.
Based on this, we will focus on Masterworking and introduce you to the main content of patch 2.2.2, as well as other details worth paying attention to.
First of all, you need to be clear that Masterworking is actually an endgame system in the game. You can utilize it to increase the value of affixes for specific existing items to make them more powerful because the 8-12 separate upgrade levels Masterworking provides.
It should be noted that Masterworking must be performed at the blacksmith, and the relevant craft materials must be farmed in important dungeons such as Nightmare Dungeons, Infernal Hordes, and Kurast Undercity.
In recent seasons, I don’t know if you have found that even if you have enough Diablo 4 gold and Obducite, the craft materials consumed for a Masterworking are indeed too much. Many players in the game community have also reported this problem and said that it even makes them not want to utilize Masterworking anymore.
But to be honest, this system is really useful for improving your game battle win rate and experience, because the gear upgraded by Masterworking is much more powerful than before, which can effectively solve battles that you could not deal with before.
Perhaps because the players’ resentment accumulated by Season 8 could no longer be ignored, through patch 2.2.2, the game reduced the number of materials required for Masterworking (excluding gold and Obducite as supporting consumables).
This way, you can perform Masterworking more times than before, and the crafting efficiency and combat efficiency will be further improved. However, it should be noted that this “reduction” is only for the number of materials, and does not mean that the difficulty of farming them or the number of drops will change.
Although you may hope that Season 8 will be more interesting with a new patch, unfortunately, apart from Masterworking changes, the other patch contents are mainly to fix bugs and improve the player experience.
Bug Fixes:
Season 8 Content Adjustments (the following issues have been fixed):
Gameplay Adjustments (the following issues have been fixed):
User Experience Improvements:
Finally, I want to mention that in fact, in addition to the gameplay itself, the performance of Berserk crossover event launched in Season 8 is far from what you expect.
Originally, crossover should be a win-win activity, but the excessive emphasis on crossover item trading and the lack of novel gameplay ultimately led to the low evaluation of Diablo 4 Berserk crossover.
Honestly, if Diablo 4 wants to reverse its evaluation and performance from S9, besides improving the quality and creativity of the season, it should change the purpose of development - don’t lose the trust of players for the sake of temporary benefits.
The above is the comprehensive patch 2.2.2 information brought to you. I hope it’s helpful to you and wish you a better experience in Season 8 and PTR!
