The much-anticipated Diablo 4 Season 4 is finally here! Unlike before, Season 4 has no obvious season theme and is only titled Loot Reborn. Obviously, the main focus of this season should be the loot system.

However, with the endgame difficulty ramping up significantly this season, preparing a great endgame build is a smart choice if you want to be rewarded with exciting Diablo 4 items. In this guide, we are going to talk about the 5 best starting builds from different classes in Season 4 to help you get a better start in the game.

Frozen Orb Sorcerer

We’ll list the best builds for Season 4, starting with Sorcerer build. Based on what we saw on PTR, this class feels great in Loot Reborn for a few reasons.

First, in Season 4, there are a lot of variations on Sorcerer’s best builds, making it one of the most versatile classes at least at the start of the season. Among the many Sorcerer builds, the performance of Frozen Orb Sorcerer deserves our most attention.

Frozen Orb Sorcerer is a nod to old-school Diablo fans, as Frozen Orb spell was well-known as far back as Diablo 2, and it’s taken on an extra edge in Diablo 4 Loot Reborn.

The advantage of this build is the essentially infinite spamming of Frozen Orb spell, which is very effective in clearing out large numbers of mobs, Nightmare Dungeons, Helltide Events, and other events in Diablo 4.

In addition to this, the new unique amulet, Fractured Winterglass is added, and Frozen Orb spell gains a Conjuration charge, which in turn has a high chance of creating another Frozen Orb, creating a permanent mechanic.

The disadvantages of this build are also obvious. Not only is it highly reliant on mana reserves, but it’s not the most effective at single target damage. But the advantages still cannot be concealed.

Hurricane Druid

Speaking of the most effective Druid build in Diablo 4 Season 4, then it has to be Hurricane Druid. This build tears apart Pits and Bosses, but relies heavily on Tempering.

The essence of this build is stacking critical damage from Clarity and overpowers through Provocation. Once both passive abilities are maxed out, you can use your primary killing tool, Hurricane ability, to deal millions of damage.

Despite the massive damage dealt, Hurricane Druid build still requires a fairly strict sequence of actions. You can still cast Hurricane left and right, but without the extra critical damage from Clarity ability and the overpower damage from Provocation, you won’t hit max damage.

Bash Barbarian

When it comes to the best builds of Barbarian, I can only say one thing, and that’s Bash.

Bash Barbarian in Diablo 4 Season 4 looks like the build you want to play. The late game Bash ability allows you to deal significant area damage and stun enemies.

Combine this with Aspect of Adaptability and Aspect of the Moonrise to get more damage from the basic skills and destroy anything alive with Vampiric Bloodrage.

However, the major drawback of this build also emerges here. Aspect of Adaptability and Aspect of the Moonrise cannot be obtained during the upgrade phase, so this build, unlike Frozen Orb Sorcerer, cannot be used throughout the game.

Minions Necromancer

Regarding Necromancer, I don’t even need to mention it. Almost every player knows what the best build of this class is, and that’s Minions Necromancer. It will transform into a summoner, leading hordes of undead to sweep through everything in its path. But this may not be a bad thing for Season 4.

Overall, Minions Necromancer is definitely the simplest build that exists in Loot Reborn. It’s not like Druid needs to follow a rotation, or Barbarian only expands late in the game. Its essence is to simply spam Army of the Dead to everything around it.

As a Minions Necromancer, all you need to do is collect Blood Orbs, which appear after using your Corpse Tendrils ability. These charge up your ultimate ability, Army of the Dead, which resurrects your minions and destroys everything around you as you collect Blood Orbs. That’s the essence of Necromancer.

Rapid Fire Rogue

Finally arriving at the last of our list of the best endgame builds for Diablo 4 Season 4. If you’ve always wanted to try a ranged Rogue, now is the perfect time for you to start it, as this build allows you to effectively take out hordes of enemies from a distance, and that’s Rapid Fire Rogue.

The core of this build is Rapid Fire ability, which allows you to use a bow as your primary weapon.

It is worth noting that in Season 4, a new Rogue Unique Ring, Scoundrel’s Kiss, appeared. It has Rapid Fire effect built in, turning this skill into a true grenade launcher, dealing massive damage to all enemies within a large radius.

This build is great for leveling, boss fights, and clearing Pit of Artificers. However, as is often the case with this class, Rapid Fire Rogue is extremely fragile. So in this build, you’re sacrificing potentially higher DPS for survivability and upgrading abilities like Smoke Grenade.

That’s it for us to share our list of the best endgame builds for Diablo 4 Season 4. Try them and you will be able to easily conquer the endgame after entering the world of Sanctuary! Try it now! See you next time!

The exciting Diablo 4 Season 4 Loot Reborn is finally here! In the new season, a new Uber Boss joins the endgame, and this is Andariel. She is similar to her brother boss Duriel: she is level 100, only available in Torment World Tier, and has the exact same loot table.

If you’re tired of farming Duriel repeatedly, then you can try summoning Andariel and get new Uber Uniques. But summoning Andariel requires different Diablo 4 items, thus meaning you have to fight a different boss. So, below we will talk about how to get the required materials and summon Andariel in Season 4.

Collect Materials

In order to summon Andariel, we need to raise two endgame bosses to obtain Pincushioned Doll from Beast of Ice and Sandscorched Shackles from Lord Zir.

Beast Of Ice

Beast of Ice can be farmed primarily by completing Nightmare Dungeons. You can obtain Distilled Fear by completing Nightmare Dungeons at tier 30 and above in Torment World Tier. Since the material drops randomly upon completion, you may not always get it. The good news, though, is that playing higher-level Nightmare Dungeons has a chance to reward you with additional Distilled Fear.

Once you get 9 of them, go to Occultist to craft Nightmare Sigils: Glacial Fissure. Glacial Fissure works just like Nightmare Dungeon. You activate it like Nightmare Dungeon and select it on the map to instantly teleport there.

Unlike other endgame bosses, you need to go through a fairly long dungeon to reach the boss area. Also, different from other endgame bosses, there will be no summoning altar here. The battle with Beast of Ice will begin as soon as you enter the boss arena. Defeating Beast of Ice will drop Pincushioned Doll, one of the two items required to summon Andariel.

Lord Zir

Another summoning item comes from defeating Lord Zir. To summon Lord Zir, you need 9 Exquisite Blood. Exquisite Blood can be obtained by completing World Bosses or Legion Events. World Bosses grant 3 Exquisite Blood every 3 hours and 30 minutes, and Legion Events grant 1 Exquisite Blood every 25 minutes.

In addition, in Season 4, you can also get a large amount of Exquisite Blood through Helltides, completing events, and random drops from general elites.

Like Duriel, Lord Zir Boss is only available in World Tier 4. Fortunately, World Bosses now appear every three hours instead of six, so they’re easier to farm.

Once you have enough Exquisite Blood, head to Darkened Way. After that you will see another door in Ancient’s Seat. Deposit your Exquisite Blood on the summoning altar to generate Lord Zir. Defeating Lord Zir will drop Sandscorched Shackles, the second item required to summon Andariel.

How To Summon Andariel?

Now we are ready to summon Andariel. We need to take all the summoning materials we obtained to the level 100 dungeon Hanged Man’s Hall and summon Andariel. You can find the entrance to this dungeon east of Tarsarak, the major city in the Kehjistan region.

Like all other boss dungeons in the game, the lobby will have a unique icon. As you scroll through the area, look for skulls with horns on the gate. If you’ve never completed the dungeon, they’re hard to miss and have an orange dot.

Once you enter Hanged Man’s Hall, you must reach the altar. To start the battle, place summon items from Lord Zir and Beast of Ice into Altar of Anguish. Andariel consumes 2 Pincushioned Dolls and Sandscorched Shackles each time it is run.

Keep in mind that Andariel’s summoning materials will only be used once, so your best bet is to run a boss grind squad to save time. Otherwise, you have to keep grinding away previous bosses on the boss ladder to get more materials.

The combat was really simple during PTR, so I didn’t see much of Andariel boss fight. Although Uber Andariel is a tough boss, with the right strategy, you can defeat Andariel. So use your abilities, predict her moves, and keep moving, and you’ll easily have the upper hand and enjoy those sweet loot drops! Regardless, you can definitely defeat her in the Hanged Man’s Hall.

Tormented Echo

You can also collect Stygian Stones from Pit of the Artificers if you want a higher difficulty challenge. These can be combined with standard Andariel summoning items to obtain her level 200 Tormented Echo variant.

Higher levels mean more rewards for each victory. More importantly, for Duriel and his sister, it means a better chance of getting Uber Unique items. Once you’ve conquered this season’s Pit of the Artificers, the uber grind will probably take up the rest of your endgame grinding time.

That’s everything we need to know about summoning this new endgame boss in Diablo 4 Season 4. With the tips and tricks mentioned above, I believe you are ready to tackle this boss fight. With perseverance and skill, you can conquer Uber Andariel and become invincible in Season 4!

In this guide, we’ll take a deep dive into the exciting changes coming to Helltide in Diablo 4 Season 4, which starts around May 14th. From dynamic gameplay events to improved drop mechanics, Helltide is becoming a game changer.

We’ve seen a few changes to Helltide in the past, but nothing quite like these, and here’s a quick overview of what’s coming soon.

Multiple new events make Helltide gameplay feel more dynamic, opening up helltide-specific drops to other areas and bringing outside drops into Helltide. All in all, Helltide is probably the best leveling place in Season 4. Let’s get right to the point.

How Does Helltide Work?

Helltide in Diablo 4 is a game feature unlocked after completing the story. You can tell Helltide is happening by the red appearance on the map. They will go up for 55 minutes, go down for 5 minutes, and then appear again in a new area.

When you enter Helltide, you’ll see new elements in the heads up display in the upper right corner, including your Aberrant Cinders, Baneful Heart, and the bar that determines your level of threat in Helltide.

All enemies in Helltide have a chance to drop Aberrant Cinders, which can be used to open special chests called Tortured Gifts. Tortured Gifts are located in fixed and random locations around Helltide. Their icons on the map determine the types of items you can get when you open them, and they cost between 50 and 275 Aberrant Cinders to open.

There are 2 unique chest types, and Gift of Mysteries chests provide a wide variety of crafting materials and Diablo 4 items. If you want to farm the endgame boss Grigoire, you need to target Tortured Gift of Living Steel. This boss has its own target farming loot table and is one of four bosses that can now be farmed for Uber Uniques.

Keep in mind that when you’re defeated in Helltide, you lose half of your Aberrant Cinders, making targeting expensive Tortured Gifts very dangerous.

Sometimes you’ll encounter Doomsayer Pira, and interacting with Pira will cause random things to happen, such as spawning enemies, spawning Goblin, and even spawning new, cheaper Tortured Gifts.

Helltide Threat Meter

As you play Helltide, defeating enemies and opening Tortured Gifts will increase your Threat Meter. The higher the meter, the more ambushes you’ll encounter as you continue through Helltide. Your Threat Meter can be found in the upper right corner.

Maximizing the meter will start a new Helltide event where you will be constantly ambushed. The meter decreases as you approach the final ambush. The final ambush will include a new elite enemy called Hellborn, which will be harder to defeat than typical elite enemies.

New Accursed Ritual Event

Collecting Baneful Hearts mainly occurs when opening any Tortured Gifts in Helltide. You will see how many Baneful Hearts you have in the upper right corner. These can be spent at Accursed Ritual locations in Helltide, and finding these locations requires you to be within a certain distance of the event before you can see it on the map.

When you arrive at the event location, you’ll see 3 Accursed Altars, each of which requires a Baneful Heart to activate. It is worth mentioning that activating Accursed Altar can be done by different players.

This event is very similar to Blood Lure Pedestals during Season 2 Blood Harvest. Once activated, the area will spawn waves of enemies, all of which help to free the boss in the center.

Eventually, Blood Maiden will appear. This enemy is powerful, can deal high damage, and has a large health pool similar to World Boss. During each phase of Blood Maiden, they will fire telegraph projectiles in random directions, which will also spawn 4 Hellborn enemies.

Throughout the battle, be careful when you become the target of a circle that stalks you. The best way to deal with this is to run in a circle, out of the path of nearby allies. Defeating Blood Maiden will drop loot, and will also drop Exquisite Blood, which is used to generate the endgame boss, Lord Zir.

Add New Whisper Objectives

Coming to Season 4 Helltide, you’ll also notice new Whisper Objectives exclusive to Helltide. This means that when you play Helltide, you also gain Grim Favors.

These Objectives are simple, like killing some demons, destroying Accursed Ritual, or defeating Hellborn. Most of these are easy to complete by playing Helltide and will be a great way to farm Varshan Body Parts for summoning the endgame boss Varshan.

Helltide Is No Longer The Only Way To Get Specific Items

Additionally, Forgotten Souls, Fiend Roses, and Grigoire summoning items are no longer locked behind Helltide. They are available outside of Helltide at a lower and possibly more unstable rate. Therefore, Helltide will probably remain the primary method for target farming these items.

To collect Forgotten Souls, you need to look for Screaming Hell Veins, which are rarely found in Helltide region. To collect Fiend Roses, be aware of Fiend Rose interactables. Don’t forget to collect 5 pieces of Living Steel immediately and open Living Steel Chest to get 275 Aberrant Cinders.

It’s worth mentioning that in Helltide, goblins and elite enemies appear to drop any endgame boss summoning items.

Structures From The Past Return

By the way, in Season 4 Helltide, we will also find some returning structures from past seasons.

You’ll find Sanguine Altars mini-event in Season 2, where you have to defeat endless waves of enemies while having less and less health over time. You’ll also find Trap Altar from Season 3, which is the same idea, but the altar itself emits a dodgeable telegraphed attack.

Helltide Will Become The Best Leveling Location

All of these new additions will be coming to Helltide, which has been available since World Tier 1, so this will probably be the best leveling location in Season 4.

Helltide itself has a hit or miss mob density. Threat Meter will help fill the monster density with ambush. Finding many people participating in Accursed Ritual will result in a huge XP boost, similar to Cursed Chests in Nightmare Dungeons. This will be the basis for Whisper Objectives you complete during Helltide to earn another boost in XP.

Best of all, opening Tortured Gifts will grant you more XP. The main thing you miss when leveling up from level 1 to 100 in Helltide is Glyph XP, so that’s the major drawback.

The above are all the changes in Helltide in Season 4 that we know so far, but we still have to look forward to the official launch in half a month for the specific content. Good luck and have fun.

In this guide, I’ll be showcasing another unique build we tested in Season 4 PTR, which is the powerful Frozen Orb Sorcerer with Fractured Winterglass unique Amulet at its core. This is an incredible endgame build that combines Frozen Orb with a spell, creating an effect that can easily reach high levels and permanently freeze enemies.

It’s no problem with Pit of Artificers endgame newly introduced in Season 4. Personally, Pit Tier 159 was the highest we could open with this build at the time. So, at least with the scaling we have on PTR, getting all the way to Pit Tier 200 is pretty easy. So it’s safe to say this is one of the best builds out there, especially for a Sorcerer.

How Does It Work?

How it works is that Fractured Winterglass gives it a chance to spawn any random Conjuration whenever you cast Frozen Orb. So Ice Blades, Lightning Spear or Hydra and those Conjurations will spawn and throw their own Frozen Orbs. These Orbs can move back and forth and explode around like you know.

Basically, you’ll see about 20 Frozen Orbs exploding all the time. What’s more, if you have Aspect of Frozen Orbit, it can also cause Frozen Orbs to explode three times.

What this means is that you actually have a lot of Lucky Hit triggers, you have a lot of opportunities to trigger those Conjurations summon spawns, and you have Lightning Spears flying around all the time to deal a lot of damage.

Additionally, Frozen Orb synergize well with Conjuration Mastery Passive, providing additional damage and mana regeneration. So the more Conjurations you have, the more these scales up, the more you can spam everything. So it all synergize with each other in a really crazy way, making this build powerful.

Fractured Winterglass

You might feel that with the build going roughly the way I’ve shown it, it might be a little weak. Since our goal in Season 4 is to get into Pit Tier 200, the bar is a little higher, but the unique Fractured Winterglass will definitely help you get there.

This is one of the new Diablo 4 items dropped by Lord Zir in World Tier 4. It gives you a 35-50% chance of generating random Conjuration when casting Frozen Orb Explosion. If Lucky Hits, your Conjurations have a whopping 70-100% chance of launching Frozen Orbs at nearby enemies. Before getting Fractured Winterglass, Frozen Orb Sorcerer dealt mediocre damage and struggled to maintain mana.

While this build will still work on the starting Sorcerer, we strongly recommend switching to Chain Lightning Sorcerer build before you get Fractured Winterglass. Because Frozen Orbs deplete resources quickly, starting at a whopping 40 mana, and requiring specific equipment to maintain mana to continuously cast Frozen Orbs.

Pros And Cons

They’ve buffed Frozen Orbs quite a bit since I played it in Season 1. As I mentioned, this is pretty good, especially for leveling. When you're not looking for truly high-end content, and you don't have to fight millions of monsters like a boss, Frozen Orb Sorcerer is always the best choice.

But like I mentioned before, Aspect of Frozen Orbit has great synergy with Frozen Orbs, so you have to find it at least once. This will change your settings for more Conjurations.

And in Season 4, you can now choose where to detonate Frozen Orbs. When you play the game using your mouse and keyboard, it moves to your cursor. I think when you play with the controller, it just goes to your target or, like, a random set distance.

So it’s not like there was always a fixed long range where you had to constantly reposition yourself to really cast accurately. If you want, you can even stand on top of your enemies and throw Frozen Orbs into their faces. This also makes using it easier and better. Because you are guaranteed to always explode on the target, and the radius is very large.

But I have to say, I think this build will last a long time against all of these bosses. Therefore, boss battles are definitely a weakness of Frozen Orbs. But don’t worry, you can increase boss damage by optimizing settings. Once you are fully equipped, you can enter Pit Tier 200 and even clear speed will be fast.

Paragon Board Explained

We can also take a quick look at Paragon Board. We have six boards, six glyphs, and one or two very influential legendary nodes.

First, Icefall causes you to deal extra damage to vulnerable enemies. Additionally, we have Frigid Fate here, which also deals extra damage to vulnerable targets based on your cold damage. This number may seem a bit low, but you can actually Temper the cold damage, or non-physical damage, to maximize the effect of this Frigid Fate board.

There are also Paragon nodes that are basically just for stacking a lot of defenses. So we have a lot of life and similar damage reduction here, such as Damage Reduction from Vulnerable, Damage Reduction from Burning, Damage Reduction from Chilled. Because we need to be as tanky as possible to ensure we can survive the high-end content in Pit and those Uber bosses.

The rest is just like you know, grab some really important stuff like damage modifiers like Winter Glyph, and Destruction Glyph which can crit scale. Additionally, there’s a Conjurer Glyph here that increases their duration, so you have a really nice damage bonus.

All in all, this Frozen Orb build is a powerful and fun build for Sorcerer in Diablo 4 Season 4. But anyway, we still need to wait for the final patch notes. Let’s wait and see!

With Diablo 4 Season 4 PTR over, I’m back with my brand new Firebolt Sorcerer. This is a new Firebolt build for Season 4 based on Flameweaver Unique Gloves. So in this guide, let’s talk about how this new build works and what the highlights are.

Why Is This Build Worth Trying In Season 4?

I believe many players know that the new season will introduce a new endgame system with 220 tiers, Pit of Artificers. Even though I haven’t fully unlocked all tiers in PTR, this build can be easily run and even go all the way through T200, at least on PTR.

I also don’t expect this build to be significantly nerfed compared to other builds that have performed so well. So I think this will be relatively close to what we see in the live patch.

Gameplay & Mechanics

The build centers on Flameweaver Gloves, which allow players to unleash devastating Firebolt attacks. This Diablo 4 items will split Firebolt into multiple projectiles when you fire it. These projectiles can also fire at the same target, so you can produce pretty crazy single target damage output.

Basically, you have these Unique Gloves and you know where to put Firebolt. It’s actually a positioning-like game where you have to try to place Flameweaver in the right spot, such as right in front of an enemy, and Firebolt will impale all enemies.

You can also choose to keep Firebolt away from AOE and knock down the entire pack with a single attack, or you can try to place it in front of the elite and then hit them with many projectiles.

All in all, this build has a very interesting new play style that differs completely from other builds I’ve played so far.

Build Setup

The way this build is setup is based on DoTs, as Firebolt actually attaches a sizeable portion of DoTs damage. You could also try to make it like a hit-crit build, but I think DoTs might be the more correct choice. Because it’s actually one of the few similar non-crit builds.

Since your burning effect stacks on enemies, you can burn monsters easily. Then you just watch them melt as you run away, dying in your wake. So that’s really fun.

But for a more precise setup, I guess we’ll have to wait for the final patch notes, as I expect there will be quite a few balance changes. There will be more of these builds as we progress and once we have the final patch notes.

Survivability

Beyond that, this build has incredible survivability. Because this is a basic attack build with a very high attack speed, you can have effects like starting a new life on your item with each click. But more importantly, you can also have other Legendary Powers, like Hectic.

Hectic is something very useful in building. Every time you attack five times with a basic skill, it reduces your cooldown. Since this is basically what you’re doing all the time, you can refresh your cooldown often. Especially useful for your Flame Shield.

Some players may be concerned that Flame Shield is at risk of being nerfed in the new season. But regardless, even if it is nerfed or even removed, you can still provide the benefits of this Hectic effect to all other skills here, such as Frost Nova, Teleport, and Inferno.

So you can do different combinations here. It will constantly reset your cooldown with this Hectic Power. In fact, you could even try putting it on an amulet if you want to reset your cooldown faster.

Excitingly, I also took down some level 200 Uber Bosses with this build. Because you only need to press more on your Flame Shield and Ice Armor to further increase the efficiency of your build. Even if you don’t play all the mechanics perfectly, it’s easy to survive these bosses.

Final Thoughts

Anyway, for now I just wanted to highlight how this new Flameweaver Firebolt Sorcerer build works. I think it’s pretty cool and definitely something to look forward to.

While Firebolt build isn’t expected to be the absolute best in Diablo 4 Season 4, it’s expected to be one of the best-performing Sorcerer builds. Overall, Season 4 promises to offer a wider range of viable Sorcerer builds for players to explore. Let’s wait and see!

As an action RPG, Diablo 4 is set to undergo a significant metamorphosis. You may play this enormous update early through Blizzard’s “PTR,” or public test realm, which opens on April 2.

Players on PCs that use the Battle.net launcher (excluding Steam players) get the opportunity to test out Blizzard’s revamped loot progression from April 2 to April 9. This includes 2 new crafting systems that allow you to personalize your things.

While not all of the Diablo 4 Season 4 improvements, such as the exclusive seasonal mechanics, will be available on the PTR, there are new Diablo 4 Items, adjustments to the class balance, and a brand-new endgame dungeon to try out and give feedback on prior to the final update going live on May 14.

Diablo 4 Season 4 PTR Character Leveling Tips

The primary focus of the Season 4 PTR is to evaluate the acquisition and enhancement of loot at maximum level. To expedite testing, Blizzard offers the option to instantly elevate any character to level 100 through an NPC named “PTR boost” located in Kyovashad.

Initially, players must complete the game’s prologue and opt to bypass the campaign via the provided selection on the character select screen. Blizzard mentioned that this prerequisite might become unnecessary with an upcoming PTR update. Afterward, players should navigate to Kyovashad within the Fractured Peaks region and engage in dialogue with the PTR boost NPC. From there, they can choose the option to elevate their character to the maximum level.

Boosted characters on the PTR will receive a range of bonuses tailored to facilitate testing, such as:

• A sum of 100 million Diablo 4 Gold
• 1,000 Obols for loot gambling at Purveyor of Curiosities NPCs
• 2 random sets of Ancestral gear
• Enhanced potions and unlocked Paragon Glyphs
• Up to 10 Tempering Manuals for attribute application to items
• A designated quantity of consumable materials, excluding those used for Tempering, Masterworking, and accessing The Pit dungeons
• A fully revealed map

Additionally, Blizzard emphasizes the ability to create new characters continuously to accumulate these rewards on your PTR account.

All additional skill points, paragon points, or unlocked potions attained by completing the regional renown objectives in the regular game will transfer over to the PTR, along with your cosmetic unlocks. It’s important to note that nothing from the PTR will carry over to the live game.

Diablo 4 Season 4 PTR’s Most Significant Modifications 

The Diablo 4 Season 4 patch notes contain over 10,000 words, but as you delve into the game, you’re likely to discover even more changes. Altering the mechanics of loot in an action RPG inevitably impacts various aspects of the game. Consequently, your gear, class, and builds will undergo significant transformations compared to previous iterations, effectively marking the onset of Diablo 4’s 2.0 era.

In the upcoming Diablo 4 Season 4 PTR, players can anticipate significant changes:

Loot drops will be reduced, but individual items will be more potent, with Legendary drop rates doubled in the PTR.

Players will have the ability to trade Legendary and Unique items (excluding Ubers) with others.

The introduction of Tempering and Masterworking will enable players to customize and upgrade their items by applying stats.

The Codex of Power will serve as a repository for all discovered Legendary powers.

Helltide events will now occur in all world tiers, featuring increased enemy numbers and a new summonable boss.

The Pit, a new feature, will allow access to timed endgame dungeons with over 100 tiers of difficulty.

Andariel, a new boss, will offer loot similar to that of Duriel.

All bosses will have a level 200 "Tormented" variant, providing enhanced rewards.

Players will have the option to zoom the camera out further than before.

Barbarian nerfs are expected, while necromancer buffs will bolster minion builds.

The PTR is scheduled to conclude on Tuesday, April 9, followed by the transition from Season 3 to Season 4 on May 14. Details regarding unique aspects of the new season have not yet been disclosed by Blizzard but are anticipated to be revealed by the end of the month.

The familiar Diablo 4 experience has undergone a radical transformation. Blizzard’s extensive list of upcoming changes, set to debut with its next season and persisting into the future, touches nearly every aspect of the game. It’s as if a new game has emerged, cloaked in the guise of the one released less than a year ago.

Whether you lost interest early on or remained dedicated until now, Diablo 4 Season 4—set to launch on May 14—will redefine the process of character creation and evolution into formidable demon slayers. While a comprehensive list of updates will be revealed in Blizzard’s forthcoming patch notes, some of these changes may appear deceptively modest at first glance.

Outlined below are the five most significant alterations that will fundamentally alter your Diablo 4 experience. These changes will be available for playtesting on a PTR starting April 2.

1. The Process Of Leveling Up Will Be Accelerated Even Further Than Its Current Pace

Reaching Level 50 signifies the commencement of Diablo 4’s endgame, as it’s when your gear and build should begin to coalesce.

At this stage, your aim is to conquer the Capstone Dungeon and vanquish its boss to ascend to the next World Tier, where greater XP and superior loot await. While it already takes only a few hours to reach this milestone, the upcoming season promises even swifter progression.

During the recent stream, Associate Game Director Joe Piepiora briefly outlined Blizzard’s plans to enhance XP gains across World Tier difficulties. In the upcoming season, the XP bonuses for each World Tier will be as follows:

• For World Tier 2, the bonus XP has been increased to 50% from its previous 25%.
• In World Tier 3, the bonus XP has been boosted to 150%, up from 100%.
• Finally, in World Tier 4, the bonus XP has seen an increase to 250% from its former 200%.

While one could calculate XP rates per hour, the specifics are less relevant: Blizzard is evidently intent on propelling players into higher World Tiers swiftly, facilitating earlier access to its new endgame crafting systems. This benefits players seeking more potent loot drops without the need for weeks of level grinding.

2. There Is No Need To Keep Every Legendary Item You Encounter

The impactful effects found on Legendary items, known as aspects, such as the one that causes sorcerers’ Ball Lightning to orbit around them, can significantly shape a build.

In Diablo 4’s initial aspect system, players were compelled to store Legendary items or their extracted aspects in their stash in order to transfer them onto new gear. Thankfully, this cumbersome process is now a thing of the past.

In Season 4, not only will gear replacements occur less frequently, but Legendary aspects will now permanently reside within your Codex of Power menu, valid for the duration of the season. Most aspects can randomly generate numerical values that determine the potency of the bonus, such as “Basic Skills gain 15 to 30% Attack Speed.” As you discover Legendary items with higher rolls of the aspect, salvaging them at the blacksmith will permanently increase the corresponding number in your Codex of Power. This allows you to imprint that aspect onto other gear pieces as desired, without the need to retain anything in your stash.

The risk associated with using a perfectly rolled aspect on a mediocre item will be eliminated, making it much easier to experiment with different combinations. It appears that Blizzard has streamlined this system to allow players to concentrate on Tempering and Masterworking Diablo 4 Items in the later stages of the game, where the core of item crafting lies.

3. Potent Items Will Be Abundant And Frequent In Their Occurrence

The quantity of redundant item drops in Diablo 4 is set to decrease significantly.

Blizzard has removed the restrictions on Uniques, allowing them to drop in World Tiers 1 and 2, while Uber Uniques can now even drop from level 55 or higher monsters. For instance, a Necromancer might chance upon the Black River scythe, triggering devastating corpse explosions, before reaching level 50. This means that thrilling builds relying on potent Uniques no longer have to wait until deep into the endgame.

Moreover, changes to item power, one of Diablo 4’s somewhat perplexing statistics, will render loot more meaningful. It’s disheartening to come across gear with feeble stats due to its low item power, especially as it becomes irrelevant for certain gear types over time. In Season 4, item power is being standardized to the extent that it becomes a non-issue.

Gear with maximum item power (925) will consistently drop from level 95 or higher monsters. Consequently, by approximately level 80, when you’re comfortably tackling Nightmare Dungeons in World Tier 4, item power becomes inconsequential. Instead, your focus will shift solely to evaluating the actual stats on the gear and determining whether they warrant upgrades.

4. A Significantly Greater Number Of Builds Will Become Viable

Diablo 4 introduces two innovative crafting systems—Tempering and Masterworking—that empower players to customize their items with specific stats.

Whether it's enhancing movement speed or incorporating class-specific attributes, such as granting a chance for a Necromancer's Bone Splinters to cast twice, your items will now reflect the stats that are most significant to your playstyle. While this may not initially seem groundbreaking, it dramatically expands the range of potential builds available.

Previously, Diablo 4's items constrained players to universally beneficial stats like cooldown reduction and critical strike chance, leading to certain builds dominating the meta. However, with the introduction of the new crafting systems, players have the freedom to choose which stats to prioritize and to what extent. For instance, a Rogue focusing on mobility, cooldown reduction, and grenade damage could heavily invest in stun grenades, leveraging an aspect that triggers them whenever evading—an approach that would have previously been dismissed. Similarly, Druids may now have the opportunity to excel with a viable minion build.

The flexibility afforded by these customizable stat choices brings Diablo 4 closer to Last Epoch, a game renowned for its extensive variety of viable builds. Even if players opt to follow a build guide, it will take considerable time to craft the theoretically "best" items, prompting them to weigh their personal preferences for stats along the journey. If executed successfully, Diablo 4 has the potential to become one of the most accessible action RPGs available.

5. The Endgame Won't Consist Solely Of A Marathon Of Boss Encounters

Blizzard's announcement of the new endgame dungeons in Season 4 was anything but subtle.

These dungeons, named The Pit of the Artificer, closely resemble Diablo 3's greater rifts: timed challenges that escalate in difficulty as you progress through tiers. The objective is akin to Nightmare Dungeons, emphasizing speed to reach the end for the chance of rare loot and materials. With over 100 tiers featuring increasingly formidable adversaries, the quality of loot improves as you ascend to higher levels.

Within The Pit, dungeons will yield items to summon "Tormented" bosses, who, upon defeat, drop materials for crafting an Uber Unique item of your choosing on your first kill. Additionally, the introduction of Andariel to the roster of normal bosses ensures players won't be locked into repetitively battling Duriel to obtain the rarest items in the game.

While Season 4's new endgame activities may not entirely address the issue of diminishing challenge in the open world over time, they inject much-needed variety into an area of the game that was stagnating. Moreover, with details still forthcoming about the season-specific features, it lays a promising foundation for revitalizing a segment of the game that had begun to feel monotonous.

Diablo fans, I believe you have noticed that the developers revealed a series of new changes in Season 4 in the latest Diablo 4 Campfire Chat. Indeed, with the current poor state of Diablo 4, some improvements are urgently needed. The large-scale itemization overhaul announced by the developers of this time seems to have really achieved this goal.

However, I have some major concerns with the changes, especially the large amount of RNG involved in the process of obtaining actual Diablo 4 items using the new and updated system. Here, I’ll discuss the most important itemization changes and the potentially huge flaws that could push Diablo 4 back into failure.

Itemization Changes

But first, I’ll cover the major changes related to itemization. In general, itemization has many variations, and I will only mention the most influential ones here.

• Base items will have fewer affixes: 3 for rare items and 4 for legendary items.
• Only Sacred items will drop in World Tier 3, and only Ancestral items will drop in World Tier 3.
• Legendary and Unique items are now tradable, but Uber Uniques are still not.
• Monsters of level 95 or higher will always drop 925 item level gear.
• Codex of Power will store all Legendary Aspects you extract, and you will apply the strongest Aspects you extracted to items an unlimited number of times.
• Three brand new systems will be added that can be used to improve the new items you loot. These are Masterworking, Tempering and Greater Affixes.

New System

Masterworking replaces the current item upgrade system and makes it more complex. Players will be able to “masterwork” each item 12 times, and most of these upgrade levels will increase all the item’s affixes by one point, once every 4 levels. Therefore, a random affix will be added at levels 4, 8, and 12, and the same affix can be added multiple times using this system.

Tempering is the name of the second newly added system, which involves adding entirely new affixes to items. Recopies that add affixes drop randomly, and once you get them, you can randomly add an affix to an item from 4 different affixes.

You will temper Ancestral items twice, so you can add 2 new affixes to these items. But you cannot adjust Unique items.

Greater Affixes are affixes that only Ancestral items can have. These affixes always roll max, and the value of these affixes is increased by 50% compared to normal items.

An item can have multiple Greater Affixes. These Greater Affixes can be increased through Masterworking, but items with Greater Affixes cannot be crafted or re-rolled.

Is Too Much RNG Really A Good Thing?

All of this looks great, but I have some very serious concerns about each of these systems: they involve too much RNG.

This, in itself, is not necessarily a problem. Some items dropped, or some low-probability events do not break immediately. For example, the rarest rune in Diablo 2 was really hard to come by because of its rarity, but Rune System was, and still is, beloved by the community.

However, RNG case that Diablo 4 is about to add is not a pleasant or exciting type of RNG. Unlike the excitement of rare drops, you just need to farm materials to keep re-rolling items until you get the perfect result. The difference is that repeatedly re-rolling items to get rare results is more frustrating than farming for rare drops.

Potential Problems With The New System

But let’s look at the specifics of each system one by one!

Tempering

The problem with Tempering comes from its randomness: you randomly add an affix to your item from a list of 4 affixes. This means you can easily get the wrong affix, which will most likely be useless to you. You can re-roll it, but only a limited number of times. The number of times you can re-roll Tempered Affixes is called Tempering Durability.

So what happens when you use up all your re-rolls and still don’t get a good affix? Then the item is destroyed.

This is new in Diablo 4: you can easily and irreversibly destroy an item if you don’t get the right affixes using this new Tempering system.

Masterworking

Not only is Masterworking more complex than the current item upgrade system, it also involves more RNG. Keep in mind that levels 4, 8, and 12 of Masterworking process involve randomly adding an affix to an item, which may affect the same affix multiple times.

Obviously, you want to spend hundreds of materials to masterwork your item until you randomly roll the correct affix for an increased number of times?

Let’s look at an example. If you have an item with 4 affixes, one of which is critical strike chance, you want to maximize that. In this case, you have a 1.5% chance of getting 3 critical hits. Therefore, if you want this to happen, you have to masterwork your items until you reach the 1.5% chance.

Greater Affixes

Greater Affixes are not inherently bad. Although RNG obtains them through random drops, you don’t have to farm some hard-to-summon boss to get Greater Affixes. You farm them just by playing the game, without forcing you to do any targeted farming.

But Greater Affixes can become problematic when they interact with other systems. Ideally, if you want Greater Affixes with Masterworking, then you can only hope that RNG gods will bless you.

All in all, I like the changes the developers have planned for next season, but I’m definitely worried about the execution. But what do you think? Will Season 4 have too much bad RNG? Or will it be better than Season 3 situation? Let’s wait and see!

Prepare your weaponry, for Diablo IV is introducing a fresh competitive gameplay experience known as the Gauntlet.

What Is Gauntlet?

The Gauntlet represents the inaugural player-versus-environment competitive game mode introduced in Diablo IV. It forms an integral component of the broader Trials framework, serving as a central hub for such content. Keen observers may have already noticed its presence within the in-game tab.

Functionally, the Gauntlet operates on a weekly seasonal basis, offering players in World Tier 4 the opportunity to engage in a static, non-linear dungeon experience. This setup allows participants to chart their own course through the dungeon, striving to achieve the highest score attainable.

Points are earned by dispatching monsters, defeating bosses, and unlocking chests, all within the confines of an eight-minute time constraint. In the interest of maintaining fairness, all aspects of the Gauntlet, including map layout, shrine placements, boss spawn points, and monster abilities, remain consistent for all participants.

Players are encouraged to venture into battle either individually or alongside companions, as they endeavor to conquer and master the Gauntlet across 16 distinct leaderboards. These leaderboards are categorized based on factors such as character class, group size, platform preference, and the chosen game mode, whether Hardcore or Normal.

What Is The Gauntlet Designed To Do?

The Gauntlet is meticulously crafted to inspire mastery. Each week presents a fresh puzzle awaiting your skillful navigation. Whether solo or with your group, you can tailor strategies to match your unique build and playstyle.

Given the non-linear nature of the dungeon, you’ll need to weigh your options and chart the most advantageous path. Timing becomes critical, whether it’s seizing chests or activating pillars.

Speaking of pillars, developers have introduced two distinctive variants to the Gauntlet. The first, Pillar of Glory, offers a score multiplier throughout its duration. Ideal for maximizing points in densely populated monster areas, where kills directly contribute to your score.

On the other hand, Pillar of Proving rejuvenates all enemies in the vicinity, injecting more excitement into the fray. After all, who doesn’t relish the opportunity to vanquish more foes? These innovative tools within the Gauntlet foster diverse approaches to scoring, setting you apart from competitors.

Furthermore, bosses in the Gauntlet spawn shrines upon defeat, leading to a shrine-ception scenario. Having a Barbarian in your party can prove invaluable for navigating the depths of the Gauntlet, ensuring you’re always prepared for whatever challenges lie ahead.

These additions serve to underscore the importance of strategic thinking as you tackle each weekly Gauntlet map.

How Does The Leaderboards Work?

After completing your initial Gauntlet run, you’ll be assigned a designated rank, which we’ve dubbed “seals.”

As you achieve higher scores, you’ll progress to superior seals, each with predetermined score thresholds. Technically, it’s possible to leap directly to the final seal with exceptional performance.

The seals are categorized as Blooded, Steadfast, Iron-willed, and Worthy. The leaderboard will showcase the top 1,000 players, resetting every Tuesday. Depending on your seal rank, you’ll receive an emblem and loot caches.

Gear rewards correspond to your seal rank. For instance, Worthy players will obtain Diablo 4 Items at a level of 925. These ranks provide a gauge of your performance.

It’s essential to note that the leaderboard exclusively features the top 1,000 players for each ladder. Progressing through the seals serves as a marker of your journey.

Moreover, the Top 10 players in each ladder each week will earn a place of honor in the Hall of the Ancients, ensuring their legacy endures.

Navigating The Gauntlet: Key Insights & Considerations

The following provides insights into different aspects of the Gauntlet mode in Diablo IV.

Shrines And Boss Kills

Shrines only spawn when a boss is defeated in the Gauntlet.

These shrines remain consistent each time a particular boss is slain, offering some variety, as they are randomly chosen from those available in the game world.

Leaderboard And Builds

While the leaderboard displays player profiles, including their current build, there’s no snapshot of the specific build they used at the time of completing the Gauntlet.

However, developers are open to enhancing the mode based on player feedback.

Tips For New Players

The Gauntlet is accessible to players below level 100, but it's designed for mastery, catering to those comfortable in the endgame.

Newer players should focus on enjoying their chosen build and understanding its mechanics, while exploring different strategies within the Gauntlet.

Limitations On Skill And Gear Swapping

Players cannot swap their gear or skills once inside the Gauntlet.

However, they can use consumables to enhance their performance. This limitation may be subject to change based on community feedback and further development of the Gauntlet.

The upcoming Diablo 4 Patch notes 1.3.3 are scheduled to go live on March 5th, the forthcoming Tuesday. We will now delve deeper into the contents of Diablo 4 patch notes 1.3.3, providing a comprehensive overview. Without delay, let us begin.

Vampiric Powers

To begin, Vampiric Powers are making a comeback, originally introduced as the seasonal mechanic in Season 2. Instead of remaining as standalone Diablo 4 Items, they will now be transformed into legendary aspects that can be applied to your gear.

Developers have adjusted select Vampiric Powers from the Season of Blood to align their potency with the current Season of the Construct. These enhanced powers will be accessible as Legendary Aspects across all World Tiers and in both Eternal and Seasonal Realms.

6 Vampiric Powers are set to return:

1. Accursed Touch
2. Metamorphosis
3. Blood Boiling
4. Hectic
5. Dying
6. Moonrise

Each offers unique benefits, including damage buffs, enemy vulnerability, cooldown reduction, and enhanced survivability.

Balance Updates

Moving on to the adjustments in balance for both unique items and legendary aspects, let's begin with the Ring of Starless Skies. This update primarily focuses on enhancing the user interface.

Now, when the ring is active, it will display above the bar. As you expend your primary resource, it reduces the resource cost of your skills and boosts your damage by 10% for 3 seconds, reaching up to 40%. This enhancement offers players clearer visibility regarding the activation of this effect.

Shifting our attention to other unique items, Penitent Greaves now deal increased damage to shielded enemies. Tassets of the Dawning Sky have seen a slight bump in resistances.

Lastly, Mother's Embrace provides a higher resource refund, now ranging from 30% to 50%.

Legendary Aspects

Next, let's delve into the adjustments made to legendary aspects.

Within Inner Calm, the maximum damage has been elevated from 30% to 40%.

Retribution now boasts an increased stun chance, rising from 8% to 10%.

Furthermore, the damage inflicted upon stunned enemies has been augmented, progressing from 10-20% to 15-25%.

Lastly, in Starlight, the threshold of Life Healed required for resource gain has been lowered from 25% to 20%.

Miscellaneous

Regarding alterations to items, there have been adjustments to crafting Uber Uniques.

Now, instead of necessitating 5 Resplendent Sparks or 5 Uber Uniques to craft your own, only four are required this time around.

Class Changes

Now we transition to the class adjustments.

Barbarian

Commencing with the Barbarian, the primary alterations here pertain to their fundamental skills. Damage has been augmented for some abilities, along with an increase in the Fury generated.

As for the main skills: Enhanced Flay vulnerability duration has extended from 2 to 3 seconds; Strategic Ground Stomp now boasts a reduction in ultimate cooldown from 1 to 2 seconds; Strategic Iron Skin fortify amount has risen from 15 to 20%; and finally, the Prime Call of the Ancients bonus damage escalates from 10% to 20%.

Regarding Barbarian passives, Endless Fury also sees an enhancement where basic skills now yield more Fury, elevated to 10/20/30%.

Transitioning to the Executioner Glyph, wielding a Polearm now inflicts 10% increased damage regardless of the target's health status.

Shifting to the legendary aspects: Aspect of the Iron Warrior's damage reduction now ranges from 25% to 35%. Lastly, Gohr's Devastating Grips augments the ranks of Whirlwind along with its damage output.

Druid

Now, turning attention to the Druid class: similar to the Barbarian, they've refined their basic skills, enhancing both damage output and Spirit generation.

Druid companions—Wolves, Poison Creepers, and Ravens—receive boosts to both passive and active damage.

Within the Druid passives, Quick Shift, Bestial Rampage, Ursine Strength, and Perfect Storm receive significant enhancements.

As for the legendary aspects, Seismic Shift sees minimal changes, with an additional bonus damage applied from 35% to 50%.

Lastly, in terms of unique items for the Druid, Storm's Companion sees an increase in the ranks of Wolves from 2-3 to now 3-4. Furthermore, the damage inflicted by Storm Howl has been amplified by 180%.

Necromancer

Transitioning now to the Necromancer, akin to the Druids in enhancing their companions, Necromancer minions have undergone significant boosts to both damage output and health pool. With these adjustments, we may witness a surge in minion-focused builds for the Necromancer, potentially securing top positions on the Gauntlet leaderboard system.

Turning to core skills for the Necromancer, Blood Surge has undergone a slight adjustment in functionality. Previously, the damage bonus per drained enemy decreased from 10% to 5%. However, the Nova damage itself has seen a 40% increase. According to developer notes, this alteration aims to reduce the opportunity cost of using blood surge against fewer enemies while enhancing its overall potency, even when engaging multiple foes.

Furthermore, core skills such as Sever, Blight, Corpse Explosion, Bone Prison, and Blood Wave have received buffs in terms of both damage and effects.

Transitioning to Necromancer passives, Death's Approach has been transformed into Death's Reach. This modification alters its functionality; formerly increasing damage to distant enemies, it now provides a baseline movement speed increase. Spiked Armor and Death's Embrace now offer increased defense. Hellbent Commander has seen a damage boost, while Crippling Darkness now, with a 15% chance, stuns enemies for a prolonged duration and deals additional shadow damage.

In the Necromancer Paragon, Cult Leader, a legendary node, has witnessed a damage increase. Corporeal Glyph now not only enhances damage output but also grants movement speed per active minion.

Finally, for Necromancer legendary aspects, Aspect of Hardened Bones applies damage reduction to minions. Additionally, adjustments have been made to the Blood-Bathed aspect.

Sorcerer

Now shifting to the Sorcerer.

Addressing improvements for Incinerate, as discussed in the Campfire Chat, buffs have been applied. Hydra and Ball Lightning have also seen damage enhancements. Among Sorcerer passives, Icy Veil, Snap Freeze, Avalanche, and Shocking Impact have been refined. Notably, Soulfire now reduces pyromancy skill mana costs by 4% after 1.5 seconds of standing still, alongside a 2% damage increase, doubling if stationary for 2 seconds.

In Sorcerer Paragon, select glyphs have received buffs in damage, damage reduction, and mana regeneration.

Lastly, for Sorcerer legendary aspects, Searing Wards now reduces mana costs from 100-200 to 75-125, while Overwhelming Currents increases chances from 10-20% to 15-30%.

Rogue

Now, onto the final class, the Rogue.

During the Campfire Chat, there was a discussion about enhancing the Marksman range-based abilities and skills of the Rogue. Consequently, Heartseeker and Forceful Arrow have received damage boosts. Additionally, Flurry has undergone improvements. Notably, the Improved Flurry now, upon hitting an enemy and rendering them vulnerable, applies a 20% multiplicative damage increase. Alternatively, opting for Advanced Flurry results in a 30% increased multiplicative damage and a 2.5-second stun on the next flurry.

Shifting focus to ranged abilities, Rapid Fire and Rain of Arrows have each seen a 10% damage increase.

Moving on to the Rogue's passives, Precision now requires only four stacks for bonuses, down from six. On the Paragon board, the Infusion Glyph's cooldown reduction has been extended from 0.5 seconds to 1 second.

Regarding Rogue legendary aspects, Encircling Bay has received a slight damage boost, whereas Shadowslicer has undergone a significant increase in damage output, now ranging from 200% to 300% compared to the previous 80%-100%.

Branching Volleys, however, has seen a change in functionality. Previously, Barradge's Arrows had a 15%-25% chance to split into two arrows upon ricocheting. Now, there's a 40%-60% chance of a split, accompanied by a damage increase ranging from 40% to 60%.

Finally, unique items such as Eaglehorn, Eyes in the Dark, and Writhing Band of Trickery have all received damage increases. Notably, Writhing Band of Trickery's Shadow Decoy cooldown has been reduced from 12 seconds to 10 seconds.

More Adjustments

In the subsequent sections of the patch notes, adjustments have been made to the Center Shell to address overperforming abilities and unintended interactions.

Concluding with the user interface and experience enhancements, players can now view equipped skills in their profile, directly linked to the Gauntlet leaderboard. Additionally, the character's time played will be displayed at the bottom of the player profile, a feature long-awaited by many.
