It has been more than a week since Diablo 4 Season 7 was launched. How is your gaming experience? If you find the battle a bit difficult, perhaps you should adjust your strategy in time and find more powerful and suitable Season 7 builds.
In large-scale ARPGs such as Diablo 4 series, the selection and use of builds is crucial. The right builds can make you do more with less effort in battle and exchange more Diablo 4 Gold with fewer casualties. In Season 7, you can even use builds with seasonal witchcraft powers to increase your output damage and win rate by letting these new powers change the way all classes deal damage and provide utility.
Based on this, we will recommend 6 powerful builds from different classes for your reference.
One of the most effective Rogue builds, Barrage Rogue focuses on maximizing the damage and utility of the class’s Barrage skill, allowing you to clear large groups of enemies quickly or fight bosses. More specifically, Barrage Rogue mainly uses Combo Points system, Imbuements, and smart skill selections to allow you to deal significant area damage.
First, Combo Points specialization allows you to gain combo points by using basic Rogue skills such as Puncture, and then use these points to improve your Barrage skills. It is also recommended that you get Fundamental Puncture upgrade, as it will increase the damage and ricochet chance of Barrage with Vulnerable debuff.
In terms of Imbuement, it is recommended that you switch between Shadow Imbuement and Cold Imbuement, as they are suitable for dealing with groups of enemies and single enemies, respectively. Don’t forget to maximize Imbuement skill tree to increase the efficiency of these infusions.
Shred Druid build focuses on keeping you mobile and resilient while dealing high damage to enemies as a Druid, allowing you to survive tough situations like facing a group of enemies. As the name suggests, Shred skill is the core of this build, so you need to upgrade it in time.
Also, when using this build in Season 7, remember to take advantage of the power of Occult gems, as they can upgrade builds and increase their damage, survivability, or spirit generation. For Shred Druid, it is recommended that you choose Emeralds in weapons, Sapphires in armor, and Diamonds in jewelry. Of course, don’t forget to use relevant affixes to improve your equipment’s damage output and durability.
If you want to play Spiritborn in Season 7, Quill Volley Spiritborn Build created with Quill Volley as the core can maximize the damage output of the class while allowing you to get additional support through Gorilla Spirit Guardian.
So when choosing nodes to upgrade in the skill tree, you need to prioritize upgrading and investing in nodes that can increase Quill Volley damage output and the likelihood of applying Vulnerable. Also, don’t forget to upgrade the passive skill Vital Strikes, as it can make vulnerable enemies take more damage and provide you with healing.
The reason you are recommended to choose Gorilla Spirit Guardian is that it can allow you to focus more on dealing damage to enemies while ensuring your survivability by providing thorns and barriers. However, if you want to try other Spirit Guardians, Jaguar is also good because it can increase your attack speed and overall damage output.
This skill mainly allows you to use Double Swing skill to deal a lot of damage quickly, but to do this, you also need to generate Fury and then release a series of powerful Double Swings. The main way to get Fury is to use Lunging Strike.
In order to make this build work best, Aspect of the Expectant is also essential, which allows you to increase your core skill damage after using basic skills, and use Berserking Finesse Aspect to increase the damage you output when Berserking.
This build is built with Chain Lightning as the core skill, mainly dealing damage through the chain effect and lightning power of this skill, which can maximize your damage output while effectively using mana, and improve your survivability and the speed of clearing enemies.
However, when using this build, be sure to optimize your Paragon board in time to support the skills you need to use, especially those nodes that can improve primary skills, improve survivability and increase critical damage. In fact, you can try a variety of combinations of different Paragon nodes to find a configuration that suits both Chain Lightning Sorcerer Build and your play style.
As one of the most powerful Necromancer builds in Season 7, this build maximizes your damage and survivability with Blood Surge skill, and allows you to get more support with equipped gear. As long as you can generate Essence effectively in combat to power repeated use of Blood Surge, you will survive tough battles.
In terms of skill trees, it is recommended that you choose passive skills that can enhance both Blood Surge and Essence generation, such as Rathma’s Vigor. When using Book of the Dead mechanic, you can choose Reaper Skeletons to generate corpses and strengthen defenses, or choose Cold Essence Mages to ensure the continuous regeneration of Essence.
If you can, you can bring Subo as your mercenary assistant, who can help you with area control and resource detection, and you can make more fine-tuned adjustments based on your play style and available resources.
The above is the 6 Diablo 4 Season 7 builds we recommend for you this time. We hope you can get a better gaming experience through the information we provide. Thank you for your reading.
In addition to the seasonal mechanics and powers that are new to you, each season of Diablo 4 will upgrade and adjust some of the inherent mechanics when it goes online to ensure that these contents can adapt to the changes in the game, to ensure your basic game experience.
But it is difficult to satisfy everyone, and the ideas of developers may not always be correct, so some adjustments may not be welcomed and recognized by you in the end. For this reason, players usually criticize and reflect these “meaningless” changes in the game community or other social media, hoping that Diablo 4 can make relevant changes.
However, not every time Diablo 4 will actively respond to your demands. For example, in the recent 2.2.0 PTR for Season 8, the reduction in the drop rate of boss loot has been widely discussed, and no developer has yet said that this practice will be cancelled; and the long-standing problem of the weakening of the presence of Nightmare dungeons in Diablo 4 has existed since Season 6 and has not been resolved yet. Therefore, this time we will focus on these two issues and analyze what the next steps of Diablo 4 may take in the future.
The PTR was launched on March 11 for a week and is now coming to an end. Like most of the PTRs launched for the new season of Diablo 4 in the past, the 2.2.0 PTR shows you the various new seasonal mechanisms that will be launched in the eighth season in the future, as well as some adjustments to the inherent game mechanisms.
Although the new seasonal power-boss power, and the return of the classic boss Belial from Diablo 3 have been well received and expected, other adjustments may not satisfy you. Along with the changes in the boss-related mechanisms, the corresponding loot system has also been changed in the PTR, that is, the loot drop rate has been greatly reduced.
Regarding the issue of loot drop rates, the fact is that you may never agree with the developers: you should always want to get as much Diablo 4 Gold as possible through combat, and the developers may be very stingy with the loot in order to force you to extend the game time or make you have to activate the premium battle pass.
That is why you will unfortunately find that Season 8 is expected to slow down your game progress by changing the loot system, but on the other hand, this behavior is actually a response to the previous players’ perception of the endgame’s difficult reduction. That is why Diablo 4 thinks this approach is absolutely reasonable.
According to the performance of the PTR, if no other adjustments are made later, after Season 8, it is expected that the drop rate of legendary items will be reduced before you upgrade to level 60, and the drop rate of ancestral legendary items will be even lower (even if they are already rare). To make matters worse, the boss system, which has been extensively reworked in Season 8, has even nerfed the chances of loot dropping for you by more than 91% - Torment 4’s drop rate has dropped by 91.7%.
In the past, when you were farming bosses in Diablo 4, you could get six unique items from the corresponding loot pool each time you defeated a boss. However, starting in Season 8, not only will you only get five unique items in total, but besides two of them being guaranteed to come from the boss, the other three are random, so after working hard to complete the boss battle, you are more likely to get some garbage items.
In addition, if you think that team battles can alleviate this, you are wrong. According to the performance of the 2.2.0 PTR, you can see that the loot drop rate in the four-player cooperative mode has even become worse! You and your three teammates may have received a total of 24 unique items from four kills in the past. Now each group is only guaranteed two.
Nightmare dungeons used to play an integral role in the endgame content of the game, providing more challenging built-in quests where you could get higher-level loot, more Diablo 4 Gold and XP, and upgrade glyphs. However, somehow, starting with Season 6, the place to upgrade glyphs became The Pit, and Nightmare dungeons were further reduced to an area where only late-game materials could be cultivated.
At the beginning of the launch of Season 6, some players expressed dissatisfaction and concerns about this change. However, now that Season 7 is about to pass the halfway point, this situation has not changed, and even the item drop rate in the new seasonal dungeon Rootholds has been criticized.
In fact, you may have discovered that this change to Nightmare dungeon is one of Diablo 4’s attempts to explore how to upgrade the endgame content, and on the other hand, it is to make you focus more on The Pit. It’s not that The Pit is bad, but The Pit’s system is a timer. Although it can cater to faster character construction, paying too much attention to it will inevitably make people feel that it destroys the balance of the game.
Interestingly, some people think that maybe Diablo 4 can try to unify Nightmare dungeon and The Pit to form a new dungeon with both hordes of demons and a final boss, fully guaranteeing all your related item farming needs. Although I don’t know how the game developers view this suggestion, it is an indisputable fact that Nightmare dungeon is in urgent need of adjustment.
I believe you will find that whether it is the change in the boss loot drop rate or the content related to Nightmare dungeon, it is actually one way that Diablo 4 tries to fully upgrade the endgame. After all, players think that the endgame content of Diablo 4 has always been unsatisfactory recently. Although these methods are not all right, it is normal to encounter obstacles in the way forward. At least Diablo 4 is trying to make changes for you, right?
I believe you should have known through experience 2.2.0 PTR or watching related information that Diablo 4 Season 8 will bring boss power as a seasonal power plan, and will also bring back the classic boss Belial who once showed his prowess in Diablo 3.
According to the known information, Belial is expected to meet you in D4S8 as a Lair boss. On this basis, if you have not played Diablo 3, you may still be in a state of knowing nothing about it-in fact, 2.2.0 PTR does not fully show the combat content related to it. Therefore, in order to prepare in advance for obtaining Diablo 4 Gold and boss power by farming this boss in Season 8, you may want to know Belial’s identity, combat method, and what role he plays in the entire Diablo series plot.
Although Belial’s final performance may be different from that in Diablo 3 after Diablo 4 Season 8 is officially launched, the core information should not change too much, and the following information should be able to provide you with some reference.
If you know something about the entire Diablo series, you will know two premises about the plot: first, the names of almost all villains come from the Bible; second, these villains can be divided into Prime Evils and Lesser Evils according to their identity and strength. As one of the most important demons in Hell, Belial’s design inspiration comes from Belial in the Bible, and he is one of Lesser Evils.
In the story of Diablo, Belial and the other three Lesser Evils Azmodan, Andariel and Duriel often conflict with Prime Evils, including Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal, and eventually expel them from hell to Sanctuary and imprison them. However, this is only part of Diablo’s plan to escape from Hell and conquer the human world and even heaven.
In the stories of Diablo 2 and Immortal, only Belial and Azmodan are still active demons, and the rest of the demons returned to the void after being defeated, so they planned to take the opportunity to conquer Sanctuary. However, not only did they fail, but they were also imprisoned in the soul stone together, except for Diablo, whose whereabouts are unknown. After that, Diablo continued to attack Sanctuary and Heaven until he was defeated and thrown back into the abyss at the end of Diablo 3. But his failure also led to the release of Belial and other demons, which may mean a more terrible future.
In the current Diablo 4 story, Andariel, Duriel and Lilith have joined forces to put an end to Diablo and his conspiracy, but Belial and Azmodan have not yet appeared. Therefore, it can be foreseen that if Belial really returns to Season 8, Sanctuary is bound to face a more hard storm.
In Diablo 3, Belial’s boss fight takes place in the final mission of Act 2. After a short cutscene, you will officially face him in Imperial Palace. The entire fight is divided into 3 phases. The first phase is called “Even if you defeat me...” During this period, Belial will not fight himself, but will summon a fixed number of Veiled Sentinels and Veiled Evokers to attack you.
If you enter phase 2, “I will not be undone!”, it means that the previous summons are ineffective against you and Belial needs to be alert to you. Belial’s health will not be very high in this phase, but it should be noted that he will still summon minions and use the following skills, depending on the battle situation:
When Belial’s health in phase 2 is reduced to less than 25% of his total health, it means that phase 3 is about to begin. During this time, Belial’s health will be restored to the maximum, but he will also become unable to move, and his skills will be changed to:
This boss is almost immune to control impairment in phase 3, so you must deal direct damage to him. Based on this, it would be a good choice to equip Xephirian amulet. In addition, the boss skill that really deserves your attention in this phase is Fist Slam, which is the most dangerous.
Belial is expected to have three forms in Diablo 4 Season 8. The first is Apparition boss, which you can unlock double loot drops by defeating it quickly. Later, in Torment difficulty, Belial will continue to appear as a Lair boss. Defeating Belial in this case will unlock his Crystal Decoy boss power. If you can also defeat his Exalted Lair boss version, you can even get Eye Beams power.
In addition, if Belial will receive a similar story setting as Lilith, Mephisto, and Lord Zir in Season 8, you may also encounter his story boss version in the story quest. However, these and more related information can only be confirmed when Season 8 is officially launched.
If the information we provide makes you more interested in this boss, you can try to experience Diablo 3, or go to the forum to read more detailed Belial story lines compiled by other players. Thank you for reading.
Hey, if your progress in Season 7 is slow, then I think your priority now is not to rush to preview Season 8 through the 2.2.0 PTR, but to return to Season 7, which is still in full swing, and let your character fully complete all the tasks that can be rewarded, so that this season can play all its due role here, and ensure that you have enough resource reserves when Season 8 arrives.
There are so many types of resources in Diablo 4 and the corresponding most suitable farming methods, so that it may be difficult for you to explore every corner in Season 7 now. After all, the season is barely halfway through. However, among all resource farming methods, repeatedly challenging bosses should really be your first choice, because this method provides the most and most precious resources in the game at present.
Although each season has its own unique content, the good news is that most Diablo 4 bosses are universal and you can always use them to earn a lot of Diablo 4 Gold or other more surprising items. Although some of them are very challenging, what’s the saying? There is always a reward for every risk! However, in order to minimize the danger of high-difficulty bosses, this time we will introduce you to the most efficient tactics for farming Duriel, one of the high-level bosses in Diablo 4 Season 7.
Yes, there are some annoying Diablo 4 bosses represented by Duriel. Not only are they difficult, but they also require you to provide specific summoning materials to summon them in order to unlock related encounters. Duriel King of Maggots first appeared in D2, and in D4, he is an Uber boss. To summon him, you need 2 Mucus-Slicked Eggs and 2 Shards of Agony. They are obtained as follows:
Although the other boss encounters related to these items are also difficult, the good thing is that the drop rate of Duriel’s summoning materials after victory is 100%. In addition, I need to remind you separately that, first, in order to save time and energy, you can concentrate on farming summoning materials so that Duriel can be summoned continuously; second, if you want to summon Tormented Duriel, you need 6 Mucus-Slick Eggs and 6 Shards of Agony.
After collecting enough summoning materials, it’s time to go looking for Duriel. He is in Gaping Crevasse dungeon in Kehjistan near the capital Gea Kul. But remember to switch worlds before leaving, because this dungeon is only for level 50 players at any Torment level. If you can, it is recommended that you get Elixir of Poison Resistance II from the alchemist, which is very useful for defeating Duriel.
The confrontation with this boss can be divided into two stages. In the first stage, you face some soldiers following him, which is not worth mentioning. The second stage is the official boss battle.
Gaping Crevasse is full of Duriel’s followers and disciples, but as long as you can get here, it means that you have at least completed the main campaign, the character level has reached 50 or above, and the Torment difficulty has been unlocked, so it is very easy to deal with these enemies. After clearing it, please go to Pestilent Altar and sacrifice the summoning materials you hold here to summon Echo of Duriel and officially start the boss battle.
Duriel’s biggest feature is his fast speed and multiple deadly abilities, such as Claw Slash, Poison Pool, etc. For this reason, you must drink the previously recommended Elixir of Poison Resistance II before the battle begins to ensure that your health will not be greatly damaged at the beginning.
Next, please quickly deal with the two Pangs of Duriel minions to prevent them from causing additional harassment to you during the battle. Once you’re done, walk your character straight to the edge of the cliff to limit Duriel’s movement and focus his attacks in one direction, while sitting down and continuing to launch fatal attacks on him to kill him, preventing him from going underground and triggering the more difficult second stage.
But if you are unlucky enough to enter the second stage of Duriel boss battle, don’t worry too much, just leave the notch on the edge of the cliff to kill the newly spawned minions and wait for Duriel to return and defeat him. After that, you can get the loot he brings, including items common to all classes and unique items exclusive to each class.
If you think the above guide is useful and you haven’t concentrated on farming Duriel boss in Season 7, then act quickly!
Maybe before January 2025, you were looking forward to entering Diablo 4 Season 7 as soon as possible to experience the power of witchcraft, but now you may have become tired of these fancy seasonal powers! After all, players always get tired of Diablo 4 season so easily.
Fortunately, in order to adapt to your “bad habit”, Diablo 4 will also update the season at a suitable frequency to ensure that you can play new content in Diablo 4 before you turn to other games because of boredom. Although you will know the bad news recently that the launch time of Season 8 has been postponed, at least you can still get a preview through the 2.2.0 PTR.
Among all the content shown in this PTR, the most attractive one should be the available boss power - just like the witchcraft power in Season 7. This mechanism is likely to be the future seasonal power of Season 8, which encourages you to challenge all Diablo 4 bosses in this way, even the extremely difficult Lilith!
This PTR for Season 8 was launched on March 11 and will last until the 18th. It shows a series of new content that may appear in Season 8, such as after defeating the boss, in addition to picking up a large amount of Diablo 4 Gold dropped, you can even get their skills and abilities as new rewards!
On this basis, 2.2.0 PTR also shows you the new boss Belial by adding the phantom invasion event-it has appeared in D3, and through it and Urivar from the DLC, a new lair boss system is established to redefine the working method of Diablo 4 endgame boss. In short, all these signs in 2.2.0 PTR indicate that Season 8 will bring you countless boss battles that subvert your cognition.
While defeating bosses like Andariel or Varshan has been one of the best ways to farm resources in past seasons, the new mechanics shown in the 2.2.0 PTR, which will be part of Season 8, will undoubtedly give you more motivation to fight bosses. Because the beauty of these boss powers as rewards is that you can get its power as long as you defeat the corresponding boss, rather than randomly dropping it like regular loot.
When facing a battle where you can’t confirm the reward results, you are likely to be in a more passive state from the beginning, especially if the difficulty of this battle is high. But if the game mechanics guarantee that you will get something, like boss powers, most Diablo 4 players, including you, will be more willing to fight. This will not only drive the activity of the entire game community but also make those daunting bosses in the past better integrated into the season process, such as Lilith.
In addition, it is expected that the use and acquisition of all boss powers are not restricted by your character’s class, so you can make full use of them to improve your Diablo 4 build, and the relevant modifier abilities will also increase the possibility of you benefiting from boss powers. What’s more interesting is that using boss power may allow you to perform cool moves like the boss in battle, making your gaming experience richer.
As a classic villain in Diablo series and one of the main bosses of Diablo 4, Lilith has a good popularity on the one hand, and the difficulty of killing her on the other hand makes many players want to retreat from her encounter in actual combat, even though the loot is also rich.
However, if Season 8 really sets boss power as the main seasonal mechanism, it means that you will be able to obtain her unparalleled abilities by defeating Lilith. It can be said that the more this boss scared you in the past, the more you will want her power in the future. In fact, with Lilith as a representative, it can be foreseen that when Season 8 is officially launched, all traditional Diablo 4 bosses will be rejuvenated, and it is very likely to rewrite Diablo 4’s boss encounter completely.
First of all, these new powers will improve builds, which will most likely help builds that were not very strong to become better, or upgrade already strong builds to become more effective, such as Beastmaster’s Training power that you can get in Apparition Incursion event shown in the 2.2.0 PTR.
After obtaining this power, Beastmaster’s active skill will make your summons or mercenaries taunt enemies and gain 40% damage reduction when you first summon them; the modifier skill will increase the damage of all summons by at least 5%, and if you have better items or a more comprehensive Paragon board equipped, this value can even increase to 17%. In fact, this summon-related power will be very suitable for Necromancer builds.
In addition, some higher-level boss powers will be very interesting when they are yours. Duriel’s Burrow will turn your evasion into an attack, allowing you to dig tunnels underground, immobilize enemies and deal huge damage to clear them. Lilith’s Wind of Hate skill will send a wave of spikes to the enemy, dealing 250% physical damage, and further increasing the damage each time it hits the enemy.
Although it’s easy to get bored with new seasonal powers, it has to be said that at least at the beginning they all brought you a lot of novelty. Future boss powers may have a chance to perform better in Season 8, and all we have to do is wait and see.
As you know, each Diablo 4 season has its own seasonal powers and mechanics, and sometimes there will be updates and upgrades in basic mechanics and gameplay. This means that no matter what base class you played in the previous season or what universal builds you used, you need to adjust them in time according to the latest situation after entering the new season.
Take Druid’s Shred Lacerate Druid Build as an example. Not long ago, we showed you how to make this build maximize the benefits of the season by making full use of the limited witchcraft power of Season 7 to help your endgame. This time we will show you how another Druid build that is somewhat similar to Shred Lacerate and equally powerful can work in Season 7, that is Crit Lacerate.
As its name suggests, Crit Lacerate mainly uses Lacerate as its main damage output method. However, although this skill is very lethal, it also has a relatively long cooldown. Therefore, most builds centered around this skill need to focus on reducing the cooldown in order to better utilize Lacerate in addition to ensuring their own damage output. Crit Lacerate Druid Build is no exception.
The key to reducing the cooldown of Lacerate in this build is NaguXan Runeword and Flickerstep: the former guarantees crit and suppression, and is activated by keeping companion skills activated, while the latter allows you to reduce the cooldown of Lacerate while dodging enemies.
On this basis, if you want to fully unleash the power of this build, you should try to keep six companions from various summoning skills active at all times, and cast Lacerate when they are on cooldown. While Lacerate is on cooldown, you should trigger Flickerstep by dodging enemies, while using Blood Howl and Debilitating Roar to increase your character’s survivability.
Overall, Crit Lacerate Druid Build isn’t the best build in Diablo 4 Season 7, but it’s unmatched in terms of attack speed when fighting groups, making it a great choice for clearing dungeons like Helltides, Kurast Undercity, or Infernal Hordes.
However, where this build really shines is when it comes to clearing Pit Pushing Tier Lists, where enemies are often packed into a small space, and the build can instantly clear large groups of enemies with Flash Step and other AOE effects from key skills.
In fact, if you use this build well, it can become one of the most effective builds for your Druid character to explore Pit, helping you get as much Diablo 4 Gold or whatever other resources you want in this type of dungeon as possible.
For Crit Lacerate Druid Build, in addition to the ultimate skill Lacerate, other skills and their coordination are also important, and you need to give them different skill points according to the importance of each skill, as follows:
Basic Skills
Core Skills
Defensive Skills
Companion Skills
Wrath Skills
Ultimate Skills
Key Passive Skills
After completing the basic composition of the build through skills, it is also important to choose the most suitable Spirit Offering to make the build gain more bonuses. For Crit Lacerate Druid Build, Eagle and Wolf Spirits are more suitable.
These two Spirit Boons can provide 40% critical damage and 35% increase in the duration of the ultimate skill, respectively. Since Lacerate will continue to attack for the duration, and each attack may cause a critical hit, these two buffs will bring you more damage buffs in combat.
When choosing and building Paragon boards and glyphs for this build, it is recommended that you focus on improving critical chance and damage, as well as other options that can make the build’s stats better, such as:
It is worth noting that when you use this build in Pit, it is best to continue upgrading Paragon glyphs and follow the following order:
Leveling Order To 15
Leveling Order to 46
I believe you should have noticed that Fang and Claw was replaced by Wild in two different situations. This is because the damage bonus of Fang and Claw is good in the early stage, but the legendary ability of Wild can bring you more benefits in high Pit levels.
In addition to the essential NaguXan Runeword, in fact, if you can insert a second Runeword for this build, the build can bring you more benefits. For this, it is recommended that you give priority to the following options:
As for gem selection, it is recommended that you fill all remaining armor slots with Sapphires and use Emeralds in your weapons to increase critical hit damage, while filling resistance with jewel slots can bring you to the armor cap of 1000.
If after reading the above, you can’t wait to use Crit Lacerate Druid Build in the game for combat and dungeon exploration, then act quickly! Good luck!
Many MMORPGs will regularly release DLCs in addition to updating the basic game. This approach can not only ensure that the game as a whole is updated to continue to bring you freshness, but also increase the richness and completeness of the game from multiple angles in the form of side expansion.
As the latest series of Diablo, Diablo 4, which was launched in 2023, finally launched the first DLC in the series, Vessel of Hatred, in 2024. It not only received a lot of attention before the launch but also received countless praises after the launch, which also gave Diablo 4 more motivation to continue to develop new expansions.
Rod Fergusson, one leader of Diablo 4, announced in 2023 that the game planned to launch one DLC per year on average, but at the recent DICE Summit in Las Vegas, Fergusson said that this plan would be changed, and the release of the new DLC is expected to be directly delayed to 2026.
Diablo 4 launched the latest Season of Witchcraft on January 21, 2025, which brings you an unprecedented Diablo 4 experience by providing many new witchcraft powers, and further broadens your Diablo 4 Gold farming options by adding seasonal events such as Headhunt zone and Roothold dungeon.
In addition, although the release time of Season 8 has been postponed, according to the content in the 2.2.0 PTR, the eighth season will also be a wonderful season worth looking forward to, especially the mechanism of making bosses power available may completely rewrite the rules of the game of Diablo 4. In fact, all this undoubtedly means that Diablo 4 will show its prowess in 2025, just to bring you a better gaming experience.
On this basis, perhaps you will look forward to the new DLC more in addition to the new season, after all, Vessel of Hatred performs very well. Unfortunately, franchise general manager Rod Fergusson said in a panel discussion at the previous DICE Summit that the original annual plan of one DLC per year will be changed, and the release of the second Diablo 4 DLC will be postponed to 2026.
Just like you plan ahead for your work or study, life is full of various force majeure, and many times they will prevent you from completing your plans as usual, and the same is true for any game company. In fact, the release of Vessel of Hatred last year was about 6 months later than the developers’ ideal time.
Compared with the regular new season, the content of DLC will be richer, whether it is the setting of the main storyline or the update of the mode and gameplay, the overall volume is almost close to the development of a small RPG, so it is normal that Diablo 4 will take longer on it. On this basis, if you want to ensure that every aspect of the expansion is as good as possible to ensure your future gaming experience, developers must invest extra energy on optimization.
Given the ongoing pressure to maintain a live service game and the pursuit of making DLC perfect, it is completely understandable that Diablo 4 decided to postpone the release of new DLC. In fact, most MMORPGs also encounter this special obstacle. In fact, since Diablo 4 was first released in 2023, the game has been busy with various developments.
Since 2025 has just begun, out of concern for Diablo 4 and curiosity about its next plans, players will inevitably pay too much attention to the development of the new season and new DLC. The reasons behind this may be due to the following aspects.
It has been more than a month since the launch of Season 7. If you have been playing since the beginning, you should have experienced all kinds of new seasonal powers and events. In addition, the launch of Season 8 has been delayed, so you may feel bored during this period, especially if you have already played Vessel of Hatred. As a result, the attention of Diablo 4 fans will inevitably be diverted to the development progress of new content.
The good news is that although Season 8 and the new expansion cannot meet you for the time being, you have the opportunity to experience the charm of Season 8 first in the 2.2.0 PTR. At least in the week from 3.11 to 3.18, you should have a fulfilling time through the PTR.
As the first expansion of Diablo 4, Vessel of Hatred not only brings you a new class Spiritborn and enriches the main storyline, but more importantly, it combines with the sixth season that was launched together to enrich the mechanism and gameplay of Diablo 4, fully ensuring your experience.
For example, in terms of upgrades and loot systems, Vessel of Hatred sets the maximum level of your character to level 60, but then you can continue to upgrade to level 300 through Paragon board, thereby obtaining more builds to use possibilities and helping you get through the endgame stage more smoothly. This is conducive to letting a new character explore and helping your character win more powerful loot.
In addition, the newly added zone Nahantu provides you with more possibilities for exploration, and the new limited-time dungeon Kurast Undercity also brings more channels for farming Diablo 4 Gold and other resources, ensuring that your character can accumulate resources steadily.
In short, although the new DLC will not be available to you until a long time later, we can foresee that the developers will devote a lot of energy and effort to it to ensure that you will be able to get a good enough experience through it. So I believe your wait will be worth it!
