A fan-favorite feature from Diablo III has returned in Diablo IV with the (re) introduction of Seasons, adding something from new questlines to items, gameplay mechanics and more. Expanding on the abundant, gothic world of Sanctuary, the developers have ensured there’s plenty of opportunity for players to immerse themselves, whether you’re a new player just getting into Sanctuary, or a grizzled veteran of Burning Hell.

Diablo 4 Seasons Explained

Diablo 4 has four seasons per year, and each season lasts about three months. You can’t play any of the new seasonal stories without completing the campaign first. If you’re new to Diablo 4, you can play through the campaign in seasonal realms, and your usual killing of beasts and clearing of dungeons will increase your Diablo 4 Battle Pass progress.

If you’re new to the game and have already started your adventure in Sanctuary, you’ll need the new Season characters; each character starts fresh at level 1, allowing you to level up, experience Season content, and earn great loot - don’t forget, Skip Campaign option is available once you’ve completed it once. You don’t lose your character after Season ends, as each Season character transfers to the Eternal Realm, allowing players to continue killing and looting as much as they want.

Previous Diablo 4 Seasons

Here are all the previous Diablo 4 seasons and the main content they introduced:

• Season 1 - Season of the Malignant: This adds a new short story campaign in which players seek out Varshan the Consumed and deal with blight by interacting with Malignant Hearts.
• Season 2 - Season of the Blood: This season players gain up to 22 vampiric powers that carry over to the base game as Aspects. It also introduces several endgame bosses and Blood Harvest event.
• Season 3 - Season of the Construct: Players gain access to Seneschal, a robot companion that they can upgrade with abilities and traits. It also includes a new dungeon type called Vaults, as well as the debut of leaderboards and the always-active Helltides.
• Season 4 - Season of Loot Reborn: This season features a campaign where Iron Wolves go missing under suspicious circumstances. Players must also fight back against Helltide and earn their place among the Iron Wolves. Both Seasonal and Eternal realms make several major changes to how items are obtained and how loot works in general.

Season 5 Related Content

Like every other seasonal event, Season 5 continues to add a ton of new content to the game for you to explore, whether you’re a level 100 player who’s been around since Diablo IV launched, or someone who’s considering jumping in.

Diablo 4 Season 5 Release Date

The Diablo 4 Season 5 release date is August 6, 2024, and will be the end of Season 4 loot respawns. Diablo seasons usually run in three-month cycles and begin on the same day that the previous season ended.

Diablo 4 Season 5 PTR

Diablo 4 Season 5 PTR is available on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, and closed on Tuesday, July 2, 2024.

PTR (Public Test Realm) includes a new Eternal Quest named ‘The Eyes of the Enemy’, and a new wave event called ‘Infernal Hordes’. After beating all waves within the time limit, you will be able to advance to Well of Hatred and battle Fell Council. After killing them, you can use Burning Aether collected in this mode for ‘Spoils of Hell’. There are four categories of Diablo 4 Items you can loot:

• Spoils of Equipment
• Spoils of Materials
• Spoils of Gold
• Spoils of Greater Equipment

There are also a ton of new weapons and Diablo 4 items to use in your fight against Burning Hell.

Overall, there’s a lot to be excited about as Diablo 4 Season 4 continues the ongoing seasonal story while we wait for Season 5. If you haven’t started the event yet, keep reading for the full rundown on what you can expect.

Diablo 4 Season 5 will be officially released on August 6, 2024, and players may need to return to the fiery depths and fight Uber Bosses again. If you are preparing for the new season and trying to defeat Lilith as soon as possible when entering the endgame, there are many ways to build your character to achieve this goal.

Of all the classes, Necromancer allows players to build an Army of the Dead and use dark magic to fight hordes of enemies.

There are many ways to build a Necromancer, but building around the many Blight Golem Minions you can spawn and control can make for a pretty interesting experience. Whether you are trying Minions Necromancer for the first time or you are a seasoned veteran, following this build guide will make your Necromancer a successful boss-shredding killer.

Skill Tree

With all the options in Necromancer skill tree, some specific skills are best suited for you if you want to build an Army of the Dead.

In the first branch of options, the base skills offered by the skill tree, both Reap and Bone Splinters, are available. Enhanced Reap is usually the first choice for this type of build. Just invest one skill point into whichever skill you choose, and invest another skill point into the improvements.

Saving skill points for more powerful skills later is key to using this build to its full potential, especially since minions are so strong in the early stages of the game.

Once the core skills are unlocked, you can choose either Sever or Blight and only invest one skill point into either. Sever is strong against physical attackers, and the additional skill Paranormal Sever allows a third cast to make enemies Vulnerable. Blight is also strong as a ranged magic option, as the addition of Supernatural Blight allows your Minions to deal a lot of extra damage to Blighted targets.

If you can’t decide between the two, the bonus to minions damage from Supernatural Blight is usually the stronger choice. But be aware that abusing this ability will cause your Essence to disappear quickly, so use it with caution.

As for Corpse and Macabre skills, you just need to focus on improving the buffs they bring to your build.

Skeletal Warrior Mastery will only make your Warrior Minions more powerful, while Grim Harvest and Fueled By Death will make future synergies even more powerful. Feel free to invest as many skill points into your Harvest skills as you want, but make sure to fully upgrade Warrior Mastery.

Next, unlocking Curse Skills will give you the newest key ability: Decrepify. It slows down enemies and reduces their damage output for 10 seconds, but its Essence cost is a negligible 10.

When you max out a Curse Skill, you have a chance to gain Abhorrent Decrepify skill, which gives you a chance to reduce the cooldown of all your skills when hitting a cursed enemy. In the same branch, max out Skeletal Mage Mastery for the same reasons as Warrior Mastery.

The second branch of Corpse and Macabre skills offers Corpse Tendrils, an excellent Crowd Control ability that doesn’t consume any corpses. Invest a skill point in it and unlock Plague Corpse Tendrils to add some Vulnerable effects to your enemies. Then, max out Necrotic Carapace skill to increase your overall tankiness.

Last but not least are Ultimate Skills and Key Passives. Army of the Dead is what we desperately need, so max it out. Then max out Golem Mastery, Inspiring Leader, and Hellbent Commander to increase the power of your Minions.

Of course, you can also get Kalan’s Edict Key Passive to increase the attack speed of all your Minions. After that, you just fill out the rest of the skills to your liking to complete your skill tree.

Uber Unique Items

In addition, there are Uber Unique items that players can rarely get. Many of these Diablo 4 items are applicable to almost any gear, but Harlequin Crest Unique Helm is particularly useful for Minions gear, significantly reducing damage and improving skills.

Other good choices include Ring of Sacrilegious Soul, which automatically uses powerful Corpse skills for you without consuming Essence.

Book Of The Dead

For Necromancer, Book of the Dead is how you customize the damage output of your Minions, from Shadow to Ice or Blood damage, and it’s broken down into three sections that connect to different types of Minions: Warriors, Mages, and Golems.

Each Minion then gets to choose a damage type from three choices, and then one of three effects from each choice. For this specific Blight Golem Minions Necromancer build, the best choices are:

• Reaper Warriors with the second effect: 15% chance to form a corpse when attacking.
• Shadow Mages with the first effect: 3% more damage per Shadow Mages.
• Blood Golems with the second effect: Shared healing and more damage reduction.

Of course, there are other good choices, including Cold damage for Mages, and Iron Golems for stuns.

Paragon Board

Once you’ve completed your Skill Tree, the only thing left to focus on and customize, aside from your inventory, is how to use your Paragon Board. Understanding how to allocate your Paragon Points wisely is the best way to improve your build after level 50.

The way to incorporate Paragon Board is through the different types of Skill Trees, and the best glyphs are centered on enhancing your Golem or all of your Minions. In short, look for glyphs that benefit your Willpower, Intelligence, and Maximum Life.

Legendary Aspects

Finally, we’ll look at which Aspects are best for Minions Necromancer builds. In Diablo 4, Weapons, Armor, and Shields all have a chance to have Aspects, which are unique buffs that usually belong to a specific class.

Necromancer is no exception, and has a number of useful Aspects that can make specific builds more powerful. To obtain them, you can either collect them through random loot or by destroying gear with Aspects at Blacksmith, then adding them to items with Occultist.

If you want to see what Aspects you have available, go to the in-game menu and click on Collections. Codex of Power will list all Aspects you have unlocked. Some of the best Aspects for this build include:

• Reanimation
• Hardened Bones
• Blood Getter
• Grasping Veins
• Unyielding Commander

Each of these provides a significant boost to your gear, such as Reanimation increasing Minions damage and Unyielding Commander giving an enormous boost to your Army of the Dead ultimate.

That’s all we know about this Blight Golem Minions Necromancer Build. Follow this guide and you’ll be able to use it to its full potential and excel in Diablo 4 Season 5!

It is reported that Diablo 4 will add some tools in Season 6, such as HUD compass, audio navigation, automatic fixed tasks and other functions. The addition of these features is to reduce the difficulties we encounter during the game. The developer also admitted that these purposes are to improve our gaming experience as much as possible.

Although everything Diablo 4 has done so far is positive, there are still some very basic features missing, which are not conducive to our gaming experience. But fortunately, the developer is actively looking for ways to solve them.

For tracking and navigating on a game map of Diablo 4, it is a very boring thing, and it is easy to make people question it for some players. For modern games, accessibility is a very important issue, but even if you take a step back, even if navigation is not the core content of a game, at least it cannot be a hindrance to a game.

At present, the developer has confirmed that there are indeed some navigations in development, which may be available to everyone in the near future. Moreover, the features mentioned above may be launched in Season 6 at the earliest. There is still some time before Season 6. Although the launch time of these features is still uncertain, we at least have expectations for the game.

The Developer Uses UI To Make The Game Smoother

Among the features that will be launched in Season 6, the developer specifically emphasized the three features of HUD compass, audio navigation, and automatic fixed tasks. These three features should have been available when the game was launched, but it is better to do it later than not.

HUD arrow is to add a pointing arrow to the game to ensure that players will not get lost in the game. Automatically mark tasks. When the player accepts a task, it can automatically mark it on the map and plan the most suitable route. The audio navigation function helps players with visual impairments to track targets and mark them more easily. When activating a task, Diablo 4 will have a voice prompt to guide the player to complete the task.

The above functions are obviously indispensable for a game. This game is prepared for players. If some necessary navigation functions are missing, it is not a joyous thing for the game. But at least the developers are listening to the opinions expressed by players in the community.

New DLC Brings Some New Classes And Regions

In addition to the updated navigation system, a new chapter of Sanctuary will be released in Season 6 along with the much-anticipated Vessel of Hatred expansion. It is reported that this new DLC will include some of the darkest content in the series.

This paid DLC will be officially released on October 8. As the base game, it will introduce a lot of new content, new classes, and new areas. Of course, the update will also bring some new opportunities to obtain Diablo 4 Gold. In addition, some specific classes in the game can also get some exclusive rewards, just to ensure that everyone can find their own fun in game.

In terms of new features, the biggest content updated in Vessel of Hatred should be Nahantu region. This region itself is located in the southern part of the map in the base game. The biggest difference between Nahantu region and Sanctuary region is that Nahantu region is full of jungles, lush branches and leaves, and reveals shadows and killing everywhere. But for veterans of the RPG franchise, this region is not unfamiliar, as Nahantu region appeared in Diablo II’s third act.

New Class Appearance - Spirtborn

For existing classes, using some new tools to eliminate the wild foes of Nahantu is a simple matter, but for Spirtborn, this matter is still new. Spirtborn occupies a large part of DLC promotion. Because Spirtborn appears in this series for the first time, everyone is looking forward to what kind of strength he can show.

The developer describes Spirtborn as the apex predators of the jungle, and his power comes from the souls of his ancestors and his power as a guardian of nature.

Developer’s RPG game has been working hard for updates. Whether players are more looking forward to the emergence of new navigation tools or launch of Vessel of Hatred, we hope that the developer’s updated content can bring us a more comfortable gaming experience. Players who are eager for new content can pre-order new DLC to unlock some different pets. We can choose snow leopards, tigers or some other canines.

Many people think that the pet system, like the navigation system, should be available at the beginning of the game, but fortunately it is finally online. As long as the result is good, it is not afraid of being late. The above is the introduction of new features and the analysis of new content. We still need more official news to learn more.

Diablo 4 Season 5 is almost here. Are you eager to upgrade your character and build as soon as possible to get a better start when entering the new season? Here, we will share a top leveling build for Rogue class, Shadow Flurry Rogue.

But that doesn't mean it can't be used to clear the endgame. This build is able to deal a lot of AoE damage by firing Imbue Flurry, allowing you to easily clear groups of monsters. Besides this, we have used many of the same concepts and pushed them to the extreme. So if you are looking for a best Rogue leveling build in Season 4, don’t miss this guide!

Gameplay

Shadow Flurry has always been a fun build that can quickly clear enemies, and since Season 3, it has a lot of additional clearing power in the form of Icy Alchemist’s Aspect and Toxic Alchemist’s Aspect.

What’s more, these now trigger simply by using Shadow Imbuement skill, rather than requiring the enemy to be affected by Ailments. Combined with Aspect of Elements, we are able to deal massive amounts of damage.

On the defensive side of things, we’re going to rely on Daze and Knockdown enemy abilities as our primary forms of defense. We’re also going to utilize Concealment and Aspect of Lethal Dusk for stealth. Not only will this give us some passive healing, but it’ll also give us more uptime on Shadow Imbuement with Nightstalker glyph.

To round out our defense, we’re going to use a combination of Momentum Key Passive and Aspect of Stolen Vigor. These skills, when stacked, will give us a ton of damage reduction as well as a ton of in-combat healing. Since we’ll be applying Dazed constantly, we’ll often be maxing out this effect.

Skills

Next, we’ll discuss each of the skills we use and explain what each one does and how they fit into the build.

Puncture

Puncture is always a solid base skill for Rogue to use, giving us an easy way to apply Vulnerable. Depending on the situation, in most encounters, we probably only need to use it a few times to win.

Flurry

Flurry is an exceptional skill, and paired with Aspect of Encircling Blades, we’ll hit the entire area around us multiple times. While its Lucky Hit Chance is low, the number of enemies we can hit and the number of hits we can get more than make up for it. This allows it to trigger our Lucky Hit effect frequently, giving us a lot of damage and utility.

Shadow Step

We mainly use Shadow Step for movement. It has a low cooldown, and it only gets shorter as we stack cooldown reduction, making it very reliable.

More importantly, its Lucky Hit Chance makes it a great tool for triggering Alchemist procs. The only downside is that Shadow Step is a single-target, so you only get one set of blasts.

Concealment

Concealment isn’t always the best option, but on-demand stealth can go a long way in defense. We mainly use it to lower the cooldown of Shadow Imbuement and trigger a guaranteed crit to daze enemies. We’ll also get a nice boost to our defense thanks to Resistant Assailant’s Aspect and be able to reduce its cooldown fairly frequently.

Shadow Imbuement

Shadow Imbuement itself increases AoE potential of Flurry, as any enemy affected by Shadow Infection will explode when defeated.

Shadow Clone

Shadow Clone is our ultimate of choice. With Aspect of Imitated Imbuement, it will not only echo our Imbue Flurry casts, but will also provide more opportunities to trigger Icy Alchemist’s Aspect and Toxic Alchemist’s Aspect.

Unique Items

This build makes use of multiple Diablo 4 Items, but here we’ll only discuss the few that provide the strongest effects to the build. These are the ones you really want to slot into the build if you have the chance. You can unlock most of these items at World Tier 3, but once you get them, the build gets a nice upgrade.

Cowl Of The Nameless

Cowl of the Nameless is a Unique Helm that gives us easy access to cooldown reduction and increased Lucky Hit Chance. It even has a now-rare melee damage reduction.

However, the trade-off here is that we lose Tempering, which means less overall cooldown reduction for Concealment and generally lower defense.

Grasp Of Shadow

Grasp of Shadow is a pair of Unique Gloves that also provides most of the features we want from gloves, namely Attack Speed ​​and Flurry Ranks. If you are lucky enough to use it with a higher Core Skill Rank affix, it will greatly increase our damage.

Worst-case scenario, we only lose Critical Chance and a little Max Health. This is usually okay though, as the buffs it brings are usually more important.

Yen’s Blessing

Yen’s Blessing is a pair of Unique Boots that provide many of the features we want from boots, mainly the movement speed buff.

Aspects

Next, we’ll look at some Legendary Aspects that can maximize the potential of this build.

• Aspect of Elements
• Aspect of Encircling Blades
• Aspect of Initated Imbuement
• Icy Alchemist’s Aspect
• Toxic Alchemist’s Aspect
• Aspect of Concussive Strikes
• Aspect of Stolen Vigor
• Resistant Assailant’s Aspect

Paragon Board

Paragon Boards are a feature available at level 50. These boards allow us to spend Paragon points gained from leveling up to enhance our character.

• Starter Board: Like all Starter Boards, this one provides general damage and defense.
• Exploit Weakness: This will allow us to apply a stacking damage bonus when hitting vulnerable enemies, and this will affect almost every enemy in our vicinity at all times.
• Eldritch Bounty: When we use Shadow Imbuement, Eldritch Bounty increases our Shadow resistance and Shadow damage
• Cheap Shot: This gives us a damage bonus to each crowd-controlled enemy nearby, and we will be constantly Dazing enemies, so this helps a lot in our siege.
• Cunning Stratagem: It does provide some conveniently placed armor and core skill damage that is also useful.

That’s all you need to know about this Shadow Flurry Rogue build. Mastering this guide will help you maximize your damage and overall performance. Anyway, I hope this build brings you some new fun. See you next time!

It is widely acknowledged that Diablo 4 Season 4 is the best season of the game so far. This is because Loot Reborn Season adds a lot of important changes that are crucial to the development of the game and makes it more fun than ever.

As you can imagine, if Season 5 wants to continue the success of Season 4, the developers must not be satisfied with the status quo and actively listen to player feedback.

For now, I have no doubt that Diablo 4 Season 5 has the potential to be a great work, as long as it does not repeat the mistakes of previous seasons.

At the same time, I am also thinking about what changes or additions need to be made in Season 5 to make a big difference and bring back the previously lost player base. In this guide, we will discuss what needs to be improved to revive Diablo 4 Season 5. Without further ado, let’s get started!

Increased Drop Rates For Gear With Greater Affixes

First and foremost, one thing that Diablo 4 Season 5 could improve is the way to get gear with Greater Affixes. While the new Helltides in the new season are a welcome way to grind content and get better Diablo 4 items, the better way to play is to find a Helltide where people team up to fight Blood Maiden Boss.

Do this repeatedly throughout Helltide event. You’ll pile up a lot of gear, crafting materials, and make a lot of money.

If you only loot Blood Maiden once per Helltide, you’ll most likely get nothing. However, just running around in circles to get XP is very tedious and boring, but it’s really efficient.

But if you have a good chance of getting gear with Greater Affixes dropped from Helltide Chests, you may eventually be able to average out without having to do many boring, repetitive runs. That’s pretty exciting!

Adding New Challenges To Helltide

Also, Helltide could be iterated on further in Diablo 4 Season 5. One thing I would like to see is some added variety, perhaps generating portals to Hell that give players small dungeons or cellar-type areas they can explore.

They could also add some extra quests or challenges there for bigger rewards. There are all sorts of ways to improve Helltide.

Currently, they just send you into these demon-filled areas with quest objectives. They all feel the same, but it’s undeniably fun to beat up a bunch of bad guys. I hope that in the new season, we’ll see changes and improvements in this system.

Improve Crafting Sigils

As a Diablo 4 player, I often see some arguments about Crafting Sigils. Of course, I personally have some ideas for improvements to this.

I would like to be able to choose which Nightmare Dungeon I want to craft Sigils for, or be able to hide or blacklist some dungeons. It’s not a major change, but it would be nice to have a clearer idea of ​​what you’re doing.

I think the affixes of Nightmare Dungeon should remain chaotic, but I would like to see more autonomy in timing, especially in some of the harder Nightmare Dungeons in Diablo 4 Season 5. Beyond that, it would be nice if Sigil Powder was a little more common.

Add Group Finder

Another thing worth keeping an eye on is that since many players don’t have a regular group of friends around them anymore, it would be great if there was a Group Finder or Matchmaking system for Pit of Artificers, Nightmare Dungeons, and other high-end late-game content. This would also allow us to get Uber Bosses a little faster.

Some players will worry that people will take advantage of this and use it to sell runs and the like, but that’s inevitable since this is an online game.

That said, I would really like some kind of party system, especially for the harder content offered in Season 5, which is undoubtedly something that most players have been asking for.

Optimize Solo Self-Found Mode

Do you think Hardcore might be too easy? Or do you want to win the ultimate victory completely on your own? No shops, no trading, no items dropped by friends? Solo Self-Found Mode might be what you’re looking for.

Since most players can currently complete the game without help, Season 5 will have to go a step further if it wants to make the experience better. It might not have shared resources or materials, and the same goes for your stash.

You can still interact with people in the world, and you can still get honor for kills together, but they can’t help you get gear. However, perhaps to fix this, maybe they have a better chance of getting loot drops? I don’t quite know how it would work, but I think the developers could figure out a way to make Solo Self-Found Mode in the new season both challenging and fun.

Regardless, Diablo 4 Season 5 still has a long way to go before it officially goes live. Currently, the developers plan it to start on August 6, 2024, when Season 4 Loot Reborn will end. It may be a shorter season, though, unless it coincides with the release of the upcoming expansion, Vessel of Hatred.

In conclusion, what do you think of this wishlist? Are there any other areas that you think Season 5 should improve upon? Let’s wait and see!

Diablo 4 Season 4 Loot Reborn update has changed the way we play, and some classes that weren’t great before often outperform other classes when it comes to collecting loot, and Rogue is one of them. So here we are, talking about one of the best Rogue builds in Season 4, Heartseeker Rogue Build.

For most of Diablo 4’s lifespan, builds like Rapid Fire and Death Trap dominated the meta-game. But with the rise of Loot Reborn and the introduction of new bosses, Heartseeker Build came into being and has skyrocketed in the rankings.

This Heartseeker Build revolves around its namesake skill. Heartseeker is a bow skill that shoots a Seeking Arrow that tracks the nearest enemy, deals damage to it, and increases your critical strike chance against affected enemies.

With Twisting Blades being nerfed in Loot Reborn, it seems like Rogue players have fewer ultimate build options than ever, but Heartseeker has quickly become the go-to build. Paired with the right Diablo 4 items, aspects, gear, and rotation, Heartseeker Build can help players clear enemies and bosses faster.

Skills

Heartseeker Rogue is one of the simpler builds in Diablo 4. The goal of this build is to deal the majority of damage by setting up the Heartseeker’s basic attacks while getting as many Victimize bonuses as possible.

The second key to this build is to make the most of your mobility. Since Rogue has less life than other classes in Diablo 4, it’s crucial to keep your distance from your opponents, and skills like Dash, Shadow Step, and Caltrops make it easy to do that. Here are all the skills you need to unlock to get this build to its full potential.

• Heartseeker: Deals damage to a targeted enemy by firing a Seeking Arrow and increase your critical strike chance at the target.
• Stutter Step: Critical strikes increase movement speed by 15% for 4 seconds.
• Caltrops: The player jumps backwards and throws Caltrops on the ground to damage enemies and slow them by 50%
• Shadow Step: The player becomes unstoppable and gains 50% movement speed for two seconds. At the same time, any attacks from behind will deal more damage.
• Dash: Dash forward, pushing the player and dealing damage to any enemies in the way.
• Dark Shroud: This is a protective shroud that reduces damage by 8% per active Shadow, and there are 5 in total.
• Smoke Grenade: A projectile that stuns enemies for four seconds.
• Victimize: There is a 50% chance to cause an explosion when damaging a vulnerable target.
• Inner Sight: Certain enemies will be marked, and attacking marked enemies will fill your Inner Sight meter. Once the meter is full, the player will gain unlimited energy and increase critical chance for four seconds.

Regarding rotations, your Heartseeker Basic attack will be your primary weapon in almost every encounter. Caltrops and Smoke Grenades are effective defense mechanisms, while Dash and Shadow Step can be used both as a means of escaping and dealing extra damage. Considering that Rogues usually have low health, it’s best to keep Dark Shroud on at all times.

The main synergy for this build is between Heartseeker and Victimize, the latter of which is only unlocked at higher levels to achieve the ultimate purpose of this build being able to be invincible in the endgame.

Aspects

In Diablo 4, Aspects are items that can be attached to equipment, even ordinary items can gain legendary traits or effects. Players can obtain Aspects by completing dungeons, quests, or seasonal events.

Once you have an Aspect, you can visit Occultist in any town to attach it to your equipment, provided you have enough Diablo 4 Gold and Veiled Crystals.

There are currently over 114 Aspects in the game, and you can choose from them based on your class and play style. For Heartseeker Rogue, Aspects you can choose from include: Aspect of Might, Undying Aspect, Aspect of Concussive Strikes, Umbrous Aspect, Frostbitten Aspect, and many more.

Best Items

Since most of the best rare and legendary items in Diablo 4 rely entirely on random drops, it’s best to aim to farm Aspects rather than specific gear.

Here, the best unique item we can get is Harlequin Crest. This unique item is particularly useful for Heartseeker Rogue as it rewards the player with 20% damage reduction, making the class more resilient.

Again, this is a completely random drop and could come from Duriel, King of Maggots, Echo of Andariel, or any random chest in World Tier 4.

Gems

Gems are another type of item in Diablo 4 that can be slotted into gear to gain additional buffs, similar to Aspects with passive effects. The three best Gems available for this build are Royal Ruby for Armor, Sapphire for Weapon, and Diamond for Jewelry. Of course, you can also explore other options.

Sapphire Gem is by far the most important Gem in this build, as it provides 20% Vulnerability Damage, which synergizes well with Victimize passive effect you unlock.

Elixirs

Elixir is a consumable item that can be used in leveling and endgame activities. Elixirs that increase XP are very useful for reaching max levels quickly, but once you reach endgame content, Elixir of Poison Resistance and Elixir of Advantage become your two best options.

Elixir of Poison Resistance increases your resistance to poison as well as the rate at which you gain XP, while Elixir of Advantage benefits Heartseeker Rogue by providing Lucky Hit. To win in the endgame, you have to accumulate all the advantages you can get, and Elixirs are definitely a great way to increase your strength.

Those are all the tips and tricks you need to know to complete this Heartseeker Rogue Build. Try it now and stand till the end in the endgame!

Diablo 4 Season 4 Loot Reborn brings a lot of new content, and these changes give players more things to do and more rewards to earn when fighting enemies in Helltide.

In addition to the new content in Loot Reborn, March of the Goblins is also a new event that takes place during Season 4, celebrating Diablo 4’s first anniversary. This event is divided into two parts, both offering different rewards and different options for players.

Because the new March of the Goblins in Diablo 4 has just begun, everyone is looking for Goblins right now. So, that’s where this guide comes into play. We’ll cover how to complete this event and maximize the number of Goblins you can find and kill per hour to get more loot!

Event Content

The first part of the event will see Sanctuary flooded with Treasure Goblins, allowing players to get some Diablo 4 items.

Treasure Goblins

Treasure Goblins will be quite plentiful compared to their usual scarcity. They will appear more often, and their loot bags will be fuller than usual as well. You’ll also be able to pick up free cosmetic items from the in-game store of your choice.

Treasure Goblins are also rumored to travel in groups, which also allows you to hunt down more loot than usual. You can get a ton of Power Level 925 legendary items from Treasure Bags they get, which can allow you to boost your new character to a more powerful level since you can store these bags and use them later.

Additionally, this also comes with the addition of Greed Shrines. Regardless of how these Greed Shrines work, they will come with a fountain of gold and a chance to spawn more Treasure Goblins. So it’s entirely possible to grab as much loot as you can from this event and use it to craft the top-tier build of your dreams.

Mother’s Blessing

For the second part of the event, the main thing is that Lilith will be spreading her Mother’s Blessing on the first anniversary of her return. This buff will give you a 25% XP bonus and a 50% gold bonus. So all XP and gold you earn from any class you play in Diablo 4 will receive these bonuses.

These bonuses will apply to all World Tiers and Seasonal and Eternal Realms. You can stack it with any other bonus you have so that you can fight your way through Sanctuary and become more powerful than ever before.

How To Farm More Goblins?

To become more efficient at farming Goblins, the first thing you have to do is go to Occultist and craft Nightmare Sigils. Of course, you’d better choose a tier of Nightmare Dungeon that you can easily pass.

Next, look at Nightmare Sigil you made and check the green affix on Sigil. What you are looking for are Sigils with Extra Shrines Affix. You can salvage all the unneeded Sigils, make more Sigils, check their green affix, and repeat.

Once you have a bunch of Sigils with Extra Shrines Affix, all you have to do is open and run the corresponding Nightmare Dungeon, completing the objectives until you reach the boss.

In March of the Goblins, Greed Shrines have a chance to spawn Treasure Goblins when you kill enemies. So kill as many enemies as you can while you have Shrine effect on you. The best outcome is to have a Cursed Greed Shrine, as enemies will constantly spawn above you in this case.

Besides this, you can also find pairs of Treasure Goblins randomly in dungeons. Once you reach the dungeon’s boss, you can kill it to get the loot and glyph leveling, or you can just teleport out and start the next Nightmare Dungeon and repeat.

This method is not as strong for Sigil crafting as you might think, because you get a free Sigil after completing the boss, and Goblins themselves also have a high chance to drop Nightmare Sigil. Unfortunately, Goblins’ loot drops are really bad at the moment.

How To Get Power Level 925 Gear The Fastest?

So, in the end, I want to talk about what is the fastest way to get Power Level 925 gear from Goblins.

But at the start of the event, as always, it was bugged right away: the highest level Goblin would not drop high level loot right away, but instead would drop a bag with Item Power 855 or something similar. Now, luckily, there is a way to fix this bug until the developers manage to fix this. And that fix is ​​what we want to talk about here.

Like before, all you have to do is go to Occultist and craft a Nightmare Sigil between level 36 and 40. Next, check the green affix on Sigil you crafted, and look for Sigils with Extra Shrines Affix.

Once you have a bunch of level 36 to 40 Sigils with Extra Shrines Affix, all you have to do is open and run the corresponding Nightmare Dungeon, completing objectives but only killing a handful of monsters to advance the dungeon all the way to the boss.

You can also find pairs of Treasure Goblins randomly in dungeons. If your character is level 100, these, unlike Goblins in higher tier Nightmare Dungeons, drop bags containing Power Level 925 gear, so you won’t be stuck with low-level loot.

Again, this method has lower Sigil crafting requirements than you might think, so you should be able to do this an unlimited number of times without running out of Sigil Powder.

That’s all you need to know about March of the Goblins event. Jump in and enjoy the anniversary party!

In this guide, I want to talk about and explain the so-called Pity Mechanism related to Tempering in Diablo 4 Season 4. I will also try to describe as simply as possible what it means to the average player, and how you can take advantage of it.

The reason I focused on it is that the use of Pity mechanic seems to be limited to the high-end elite player base, because they are used to reading forums and theory articles and the like. And the average person either doesn’t know about it or doesn’t understand it enough to use it to their advantage.

I hope this guide will change that, because if you are not familiar with this, you may ruin some excellent Diablo 4 items for your character.

Tempering Mechanism Explained

So, to understand Pity mechanic, first we have to explain a few things about Tempering.

Tempering is unlocked at level 15, based on finding and learning Temper Manuals, which have Weapons, Offensive, Defensive, Utility, Mobility, and Resource recipe categories. Each item has up to two slots that can hold Tempered Affixes. After each Manual is found and learned, they can be applied to gear repeatedly, infinitely, as long as you have the required materials.

During Tempering process, you can add affixes to an item by randomly selecting them from a pool of affixes.

Often, players want to add one specific affix to an item, while the other possible affixes are useless, or at least less useful. If you get the wrong affix, you have 5 chances to re-roll them, but if at the end of the re-roll you still don’t get the affix you want, you can’t change the wrong affix added to the item. When this happens, we call it “bricking”.

What Does Pity Mechanic Do?

I’ll try to explain this with an example. Let’s say we want to add “Chance for Frozen Orb Projectiles to Cast Twice” affix to our weapon. We Temper the weapon once, twice, and five times, but we still can’t get the desired stat after these rolls.

Now the weapon is unusable, and you can’t remove this new, bad affix from the weapon. It will be stuck there forever. Your weapons are not nearly as powerful as they would be if you rolled the affix you wanted.

However, this is where Pity mechanic comes into play. With Pity mechanic, if you play your cards right, you can increase your chances of adding the affix you want, Tempered, to your items. But only if you know how to exploit it.

It is important to note that Pity mechanic has not yet been confirmed by the developers. It is still just a theory, but more and more evidence is piling up to prove its existence. What this means is that if you don’t get a certain affix on your Tempering roll, the game essentially pities you. To compensate, it increases the chances of that affix appearing the next time you Temper. Now this isn’t a 100% increase, but it is noticeable.

Another important feature of Pity mechanic is that it stacks. Every time you roll an affix other than the one in question, the chances of getting the affix you didn’t roll increase. So if you roll an affix twice that is different from the one you want, your chances of getting that affix on the third roll are greater than if you got it on the second roll.

How Does It Work More Efficiently?

Will this mechanism be complex? Maybe, but let me give you an example again. We want to Temper this weapon with “Chance for Frozen Orb Projectiles to Cast Twice” affix. To maximize our chances, we can start Tempering with another useless weapon.

The goal here is to get any affix except the desired affix. And the point of this operation is that because of Pity mechanism, each time we fail a roll, our chance of getting the desired affix on the next roll will be greater.

So, to be more efficient, we Temper the useless weapon until we miss the desired affix three times in a row. This way, on the next roll, on our actual excellent weapon, the chance of getting the desired affix will increase by 3 times.

Let’s say our average roll chance of the desired affix is ​​25%, and because of the 3 previous rolls we failed, we increase this chance by 15% each time, so the chance increases by 45%, up to a total of 70%.

Now we don’t know the exact numbers, but this is how Pity mechanism seems to work. Based on all of this data I just explained, when Tempering high-end items for specific affixes, I recommend tempering useless items in the same slot first until you roll 3 times with an affix other than the one you want. Then, proceed to tempering your actual good items. If you do everything right, you should have a much better chance of getting the affix you want.

Of course, I must warn you that this chance is not a guarantee, but this trick should save you from failure and losing a lot of very powerful items.

That’s it! With these tips you’ll be on your way to getting your desired Tempering items in Diablo 4 Season 4 much faster. Hopefully, you’ve learned something from this guide. Good luck!

As always, the arrival of each new season brings a brand new progression system, and in Loot Reborn it is Wolf’s Honor. It is related to the new Iron Wolves mercenary group that you will fight alongside in the major story.

By increasing your status in this group, you will obtain many rewards, including Diablo 4 unique items and some legendary weapons, to help you defeat all the terrible enemies in Diablo 4.

But if you are currently unclear about how to do this and are looking for guidance, then this complete guide on how to quickly obtain Wolf’s Honor in Diablo 4 must be for you.

How To Advance The Progress Of Wolf’s Honor?

There is currently only one way to obtain Wolf’s Honor in Diablo 4, and that is to participate in the various Helltide events that take place throughout Sanctuary. When Helltide is active, it will be marked in red on the map.

During these events, killing normal monsters will earn you one Wolf’s Honor, while taking out elite monsters will earn you five to ten, and defeating Hellborn that appears at the highest Threat level will earn your 35 Wolf’s Honor.

However, the fastest way to get Wolf’s Honor in Diablo 4 is to open Helltide Mystery Chests, as each chest rewards 100 Wolf’s Honor. Just open the map and look for the chest icon with a question mark on it.

In the first few World Tiers, they will appear as Tortured Gift of Mysteries, and opening each chest will cost you 100 Aberrant Cinders, which are Cinders you get from killing enemies during Helltide events.

In World Tier 3 and 4, there are several types of Mystery Chests that will spawn and reward different amounts of Wolf’s Honor when opened, instead of a fixed 100. So I recommend opening those chests where Aberrant Cinders cost more.

Using Baneful Hearts you collect to summon Blood Maidens will speed up the rate at which you gather Aberrant Cinders to open chests. If you defeat a Hellborn on World Tier 3 or 4, Profane Mindcage it drops can also be used to increase the rate at which Aberrant Cinders drop over the next 60 minutes, at the expense of increasing the level of the enemies you face.

You can also speed up the rate at which you earn Wolf’s Honor in Diablo 4 through Season Blessings if you assign Smoldering Ashes you unlock through Season progression to Urn of Iron. Each level of Urn of Iron boosts your reputation with Iron Wolves in Helltide event by 5%, stacking up to level 4 for a +20% boost.

Farming Tips

Farming Wolf’s Honor is not only important for your main character, but it can also be handy for your alts, as the rewards you earn from Iron Wolves can be earned multiple times across multiple characters. This means you can easily get extra Resplendent Sparks and Uber Unique items simply by earning Iron Wolves Reputation and getting rewards from the board.

But what can you do to maximize your Iron Wolves reputation, and how can you get Resplendent Sparks as quickly as possible? Obviously, you have to go into Helltides, but there are some very handy tips that can greatly speed up the process:

1. Go back to World Tier 2, even if you are a higher-level character. The reputation you get for completing any objectives is the same regardless of World Tiers, and you will kill monsters and bosses faster on World Tier 2.
2. Equip Profane Mindcage, which will increase the level of monsters. But more importantly, you will get more Cinders from them, and the demon bar in the upper right corner will fill up faster, which will let you kill more monsters.
3. Use Elixir of Holy Bolts. This Seasonal Elixir can be obtained from Alchemist for 350 Murmuring Obols, and it speeds up the farming process even more.
4. Farming Blood Maidens continuously takes about 45 minutes. During this time, you will not only gain a reputation from Maidens, but you will also collect hundreds of Aberrant Cinders. Each Maiden killed will give you about 200 reputation points.
5. Note that in the last minutes, open all Tortured Gift of Mysteries on the map, so that you can get more reputation, about 120 points per chest.
6. In the last few minutes, kill Maidens a few more times if you can. This way you can gain about 9000 reputation points per hour, which is the reputation required to reach the last level of Wolf’s Honor.

Rewards

Iron Wolves Encampment is located in Kehjistan region, northeast of Gea Kul, west of Imperial Library. There should already be an active portal there, so you can use fast travel to get there quickly from anywhere in Sanctuary.

Once in Encampment, find Iron Wolf Field Commander, Soudeh the Anvil and talk to them, and your current Wolf’s Honor Rank and progress towards the next rank will be displayed.

If you move down to the section below, you can claim any rewards you’ve unlocked with Wolf’s Honor in Diablo 4.

Some of these rewards are chests that, when opened, will drop legendary weapons and armor relevant to your class, while others offer Tempering Manuals that unlock new recipes for Tempering upgrades.

When redeeming them, you’ll also receive resource items and elixirs that can be used to boost you during Helltide, so be sure to check out their effects and use them when fighting Hell’s monsters.

That’s all you need to know about completing Wolf’s Honor progression system. Go ahead and give it a try. You’ll have fun with these coveted rewards!

In this guide, I want to talk about 8 important tips that you need to know early on when you play Diablo 4 Season 4. Whether you are a new player or a veteran returning to the game, you will find them valuable. Without further ado, let’s get straight to it!

1. Turn On Your Auto-Cast

You can auto-cast abilities in Diablo 4. Auto-casting skills do not require any macro, special mouse or external software. You can turn on an auto-cast with the simple use of your keyboard.

First, go to Options, then Controls window and assign the secondary button for the skill you want to auto-cast to one of the number pad buttons.

Next, with Numlock function turned on, hold down the designated number key and press Numlock button to turn the function off, and there you go. Your character will now auto-cast skills when they are ready! To disable auto-cast, simply turn on Numlock and press the skill button again.

2. Collect Season Journey & Iron Wolves Rewards

The second thing I want you to know early on is that Season Journey rewards are account-wide, while Iron Wolves rewards are character-based. So when you level up your first character, you might be wondering which Seasonal rewards to claim now, and which to save for later, or for your alts? You certainly want to claim all of Iron Wolves rewards as soon as you unlock them.

Each character can level up and claim their own rewards from this vendor. Iron Wolves reward tier also seems to be tied to your tier when you unlock them, not your tier when you open the box. So basically there’s no need to hesitate.

When it comes to Season Journey rewards, things are a little trickier, because they’re account-wide. This means that if you pick up some Season Journey Chapter rewards for your first character, but let’s say you decide to switch classes, you won’t be able to get Season Journey rewards on that new character.

Generally, this isn’t a big deal, except for the cool Legendary and Unique items that might drop from rewards caches. Luckily, there are a ton of Diablo 4 items dropping in Season 4, so don’t lose any sleep over it.

3. Favorite Feature

My third tip for you is this: use Favorite feature. You can mark Aspects and Items as Favorites. When you mark that Aspect as a Favorite, and you select Legendary Aspects from Codex of Power, it will show up first. This is a big quality of life thing, because you’ll be switching Legendary Aspects repeatedly over time. Here’s how I like to use this feature.

When I start a new character and have an idea for a skill or build I want to use, I go to Collection section in the pause menu. This is the only place you can mark an Aspect as a Favorite. On PC, marking is done with the space bar, by the way.

I then go through all the available Aspects and mark the ones that seem to work for my build. This takes a little of upfront work, but can make your life a lot easier in the long run. So you don’t have to search for specific Legendary Aspects every time you want to switch items. That’s a lot of hassle.

Now let’s talk about a piece of gear. You can also mark them as Favorites to avoid accidentally selling good items to vendors or to stop you from mass salvaging items at Blacksmith.

To mark a piece of gear, hover over the item and press the button that marks the item as junk twice! The first press marks the item as junk, while the second press marks it as Favorite.

Personally, I like to mark all of my current gear as Favorites to prevent accidentally losing items when trying different gear.

4. Making Seasonal Potions

Moving on to the next tip, you can make Seasonal Potions with Murmuring Obols. If you haven’t used Seasonal Potions yet, definitely give it a try!

Holy Bolt is a particularly powerful elixir, as it turns you into a permanent artillery machine. Obols are the currency you normally used to gamble for items. You can get Obols from Helltide Chests.

Considering you’ll probably be using Helltide all the time, you’ll accumulate a lot of Obols pretty quickly. Once you have a pleasant set of gear, it’s a good time to spend some Obols on making potions.

Be aware though, at 350 Obols per potion, the cost is pretty high. But I still recommend using Holy Bolt. Despite the high cost, the power gain justifies the cost as they can greatly increase your damage, especially when playing as a Minion Necromancer.

5. Pay Attention To The Symbols On The Items

The next tip I have for you is to pay attention to the symbols on the items at Blacksmith. A lot of people have questions, with an inventory full of legendary items. How can you easily know which ones to sell and which ones to salvage?

Go to Blacksmith and salvage items that have a white icon on them. This icon means that Legendary Aspect on this piece of gear is either not unlocked in your Codex of Power, or the value of legendary power on the item is higher than what you have unlocked in Codex of Power. So in either case, you definitely want to salvage the item unless you don’t want to use it.

There is another red icon, which means that salvaging the item will unlock a new appearance. Unfortunately, these icons aren’t very easy to see when you have your inventory open, unless you go to an NPC like a Blacksmith or a Vendor.

Without going to an NPC, you have to hover over an item and look for an icon with a text description at the bottom of the item description. Unfortunately, this is easy to miss, especially when you have the compare feature turned on. As such, the item description rarely fits on the screen and requires scrolling down to see the icon. This is a bit annoying and I hope they change it in the future.

6. Checking Enchanting Affixes

Continuing with tip number six, you can check possible affixes when enchanting an item! If you get a nice piece of gear but want to change one of its affixes, then you’ll need to go to Occultist and enchant that stat.

But how do you know if you should keep that new affix or keep rolling? That’s where the icon located in the top right corner of Enchanting Window comes to the rescue. It shows a list of all the possible affixes that can be rolled and their ranges! You can actually access this information on the console as well. To do this, just press “Triangle” or “Y” button in Enchanting Window.

7. Spam Blood Maiden

Coming to tip seven, spam Blood Maiden in Helltides for tons of XP and loot!

Helltide is a great place to both level up and get tons of loot in the process. I highly recommend checking out each Helltide invaded area. There is an altar with three pillars that can be activated by inserting Baneful Hearts dropped in Helltide.

By the way, you get to keep Baneful Hearts after Helltide ends, while any unused Cinders are lost after the current Helltide event ends.

When all three pillars are activated, waves of enemies will spawn at that location. When enough demons have been defeated, a boss, Blood Maiden, will spawn. She is a tough enemy with three main mechanics:

First, she spawns Disciples, which are stronger elite monsters. You definitely want to deal with them quickly so you don’t get overwhelmed later.

She will also throw Fire Rings around random players. When you get hit by a Fire Ring, stay away from the boss and other players to avoid being killed in one hit.

Finally, she creates an ever-expanding circle that deals pretty high damage, but you can just dodge it. After defeating Blood Maiden, she will drop a lot of items, including some legendary items and crafting materials.

Just a reminder that players who contribute more Baneful Hearts to activate the pillars may get more loot. So don’t be stingy.

8. Profane Mindcage

Since we are talking about Helltide, let’s talk about the last tip we need to know, which is to use Profane Mindcage to increase XP and Cinders you get.

Profane Mindcage increases the level of enemies in Helltide by 10 levels for 60 minutes! As far as I know, being 10 levels higher than you is the upper limit of extra XP you can get in Diablo 4, so this boost works well.

Using Profane Mindcage is a great way to level up faster and get a lot of Cinders. Don’t be too stingy, because you’ll be dropping Profane Mindcage in Helltide, anyway.

Here are a few things to consider: First, the boost lasts for 60 minutes, so activate it when you’re planning on having a longer session.

Next, dying while Profane Mindcage is activated will disable the boost, so use it when the current Helltide enemies don’t pose much of a threat.

Also, enemy level caps at 50 in World Tier 1 and 2. So if you’re in that tier and level is above 40, there’s no point activating this boost.

These are the 8 things I wish I’d known when I started playing Diablo 4 Season 4 a few days ago. Regardless, hopefully these tips will save you precious time and make your journey through Loot Reborn season smooth and frictionless.
