Diablo fans, are you ready for the ultimate test of courage and skill? Deep within Burning Hells, Warlord of Chaos stirs, inviting brave challengers to venture into the abyss and face their destiny!
Yes, Diablo 4 recently announced a new event, Compass to Carnage. During the event, Sanctuary will transform into a battlefield of chaos and opportunity, not for the faint of heart. More Chaos Waves will arrive in Infernal Hordes, and you'll have the chance to earn more Infernal Compasses and much more!
Event Time & Details
Compass to Carnage event will run from 10:00 AM PST on November 4th to 10:00 AM PST on November 11th.
So, what can you get in this event? The drop rate of Infernal Compasses has increased, Chaos Waves in Infernal Hordes are more frequent, and there's a chance to earn double rewards if you dare to challenge Fell Council. This is a key aspect that most players easily overlook during the event, as each Infernal Compasses you acquire grants you an additional Compass.
More importantly, Infernal Compasses are not just rewards; they are gateways to power. More Compasses also make reaching Fell Council easier than ever before. Imagine the immense chaos power awaiting you.
But don't think everything will be smooth sailing, because with each Chaos Wave in the challenge, Infernal Hordes becomes increasingly chaotic. Furthermore, sealing Chaos Rifts now yields a large amount of Aether, giving you even more reason to jump into the fray.
However, this has sparked controversy. Some players will be happy to use this opportunity to quickly improve their Viz-Jaq'taar Veneration reputation, while others believe the increased chaos is too challenging for casual players. What's your opinion? However, whether you're a seasoned veteran or a Sanctuary newcomer, Compass to Carnage event is an excellent opportunity to prove your skills.
How To Prepare For The Event?
To gain a significant advantage in Compass to Carnage event, advance preparation is essential.
During the event, the number of Chaos Waves in Infernal Hordes will increase dramatically, and Aether drop rate from Chaos Rifts will also be significantly boosted. It's also an excellent opportunity to complete Viz-Jaq'taar Veneration reputation board, so players should accumulate Infernal Compasses through seasonal reputation caches, Whispering Chests, and Nightmare Dungeons, and optimize their character builds for the upcoming challenges.
- Accumulate Compasses: Accumulate as many Infernal Compasses as possible to maximize your participation in Infernal Hordes event and challenge Fell Council to maximize the rewards you can obtain.
- Maximize Aether Drops: Due to increased Aether drops from Chaos Rifts during the event, be sure to actively close all rifts you see to obtain a large amount of Aether.
- Focus on Reputation: Take advantage of this event to increase your Viz-Jaq'taar Veneration reputation level, as the increased Aether and rewards will accelerate your reputation progress.
- Optimize Your Character Build: Before starting the event, select and optimize your build based on the increased number of Chaos Waves and the specific challenges of Infernal Hordes. Because of the increased enemy density during the event, it is recommended to prioritize builds with strong screen-clearing capabilities and AoE damage!
Best Event Build Recommendation
Ball Lightning Sorcerer
To improve your Infernal Hordes farming efficiency, Ball Lightning Sorcerer is a top choice. It's one of the fastest builds in Diablo 4, perfect for clearing Infernal Hordes and other events requiring speed runs.
Ball Lightning Sorcerer excels at farming Infernal Hordes because of its high speed, wide-area damage, and superior mobility, quickly and efficiently clearing large numbers of enemies. More importantly, it can cast Ball Lightning while moving to accelerate farming. Ball Lightning deals massive damage to large groups of enemies, making it perfect for dealing with the dense waves of enemies in Infernal Hordes during events.
While Ball Lightning consumes a significant amount of mana, this build can regenerate mana through synergy with skills like Invigorating Conduit and Crackling Energy, maintaining the high duration of its core abilities.
Furthermore, Sorcerer possesses exceptional mobility, primarily thanks to its Teleport ability, allowing for rapid movement and repositioning to maximize damage output and achieve quick clears.
Bone Spirit Necromancer
Bone Spirit Necromancer's main advantage in farming Infernal Hordes lies in its ability to quickly and efficiently clear large numbers of enemies, thanks to the synergy between Season 10's Chaos Perks mechanic and its powerful skill rotation.
The core strategy of this build is to first cast a Bone Spirit, which then splits into countless Bone Splinters, instantly covering the entire screen and dealing massive damage to all enemies. This build is designed for speed, and through combos and utilizing Alter the Balance, it can even clear an entire Chaos Wave and hordes of enemies in one go.
It's worth mentioning that this build not only excels at clearing mobs but also possesses astonishing single-target damage, capable of quickly eliminating elite enemies and Bartuc bosses in Infernal Hordes.
Death Trap Rogue
Finally, the build we'll mention will probably not be surprising: Death Trap Rogue. This build consistently ranks among the top in almost every seasonal endgame content.
Death Trap Rogue's extremely high speed, massive area-of-effect damage, and sustained skill uptime make it exceptionally effective in farming Infernal Hordes. This build excels at quickly clearing large groups of enemies, making it ideal for Helltides, Chaos Rifts, and other endgame events as well.
This build leverages Crazy Brew Chaos Perk to boost attack speed, and A Beast Cornered to significantly increase damage multipliers, further enhancing its combat effectiveness. Combined with the continuous Death Trap's massive damage to large groups of enemies, this makes it extremely efficient at clearing hordes of Infernal Hordes during Compass to Carnage event.
In any case, Compass to Carnage event is an excellent opportunity to acquire more Infernal Compasses and quickly increase your reputation. It's not just a chance to survive, but a chance to thrive in this hellish realm. Are you ready for the carnage?
