News Tag: Diablo 4 Season 7

As you know, each Diablo 4 season has its own seasonal powers and mechanics, and sometimes there will be updates and upgrades in basic mechanics and gameplay. This means that no matter what base class you played in the previous season or what universal builds you used, you need to adjust them in time according to the latest situation after entering the new season.

Take Druid’s Shred Lacerate Druid Build as an example. Not long ago, we showed you how to make this build maximize the benefits of the season by making full use of the limited witchcraft power of Season 7 to help your endgame. This time we will show you how another Druid build that is somewhat similar to Shred Lacerate and equally powerful can work in Season 7, that is Crit Lacerate.

How Does Crit Lacerate Druid Build Work?

As its name suggests, Crit Lacerate mainly uses Lacerate as its main damage output method. However, although this skill is very lethal, it also has a relatively long cooldown. Therefore, most builds centered around this skill need to focus on reducing the cooldown in order to better utilize Lacerate in addition to ensuring their own damage output. Crit Lacerate Druid Build is no exception.

The key to reducing the cooldown of Lacerate in this build is NaguXan Runeword and Flickerstep: the former guarantees crit and suppression, and is activated by keeping companion skills activated, while the latter allows you to reduce the cooldown of Lacerate while dodging enemies.

On this basis, if you want to fully unleash the power of this build, you should try to keep six companions from various summoning skills active at all times, and cast Lacerate when they are on cooldown. While Lacerate is on cooldown, you should trigger Flickerstep by dodging enemies, while using Blood Howl and Debilitating Roar to increase your character’s survivability.

Why Choose Crit Lacerate?

Overall, Crit Lacerate Druid Build isn’t the best build in Diablo 4 Season 7, but it’s unmatched in terms of attack speed when fighting groups, making it a great choice for clearing dungeons like Helltides, Kurast Undercity, or Infernal Hordes.

However, where this build really shines is when it comes to clearing Pit Pushing Tier Lists, where enemies are often packed into a small space, and the build can instantly clear large groups of enemies with Flash Step and other AOE effects from key skills.

In fact, if you use this build well, it can become one of the most effective builds for your Druid character to explore Pit, helping you get as much Diablo 4 Gold or whatever other resources you want in this type of dungeon as possible.

How To Assign Skills?

For Crit Lacerate Druid Build, in addition to the ultimate skill Lacerate, other skills and their coordination are also important, and you need to give them different skill points according to the importance of each skill, as follows:

Basic Skills

• Enhanced Maul (1/5)

Core Skills

• Heart of the Wild (3/3)
• Predatory Instinct (1/3)
• Digitagrade Gait (3/3)
• Iron Fur (3/3)

Defensive Skills

• Innate Blood Howl (1/5)
• Innate Debilitating Roar (1/5)
• Backlash (3/3)
• Ancestral Fortitude (3/3)
• Vigilance (3/3)

Companion Skills

• Ferocious Wolf Pack (1/5)
• Poison Creeper (1/5)
• Brutal Ravens (1/5)
• Feral Aptitude (3/3)

Wrath Skills

• Neurotoxin (1/3)
• Toxic Claws (3/3)
• Envenom (3/3)

Ultimate Skills

• Supreme Lacerate (5/5)
• Defensive Posture (3/3)
• Catastrophe (3/3)
• Natural Fortitude (3/3)
• Quickshift (3/3)
• Heightened Senses (3/3)

Key Passive Skills

• Ursine Strength

How To Choose Spirit Offerings?

After completing the basic composition of the build through skills, it is also important to choose the most suitable Spirit Offering to make the build gain more bonuses. For Crit Lacerate Druid Build, Eagle and Wolf Spirits are more suitable.

These two Spirit Boons can provide 40% critical damage and 35% increase in the duration of the ultimate skill, respectively. Since Lacerate will continue to attack for the duration, and each attack may cause a critical hit, these two buffs will bring you more damage buffs in combat.

• Deer Spirit-Gift of the Stag
• Eagle Spirit-Avian Wrath
• Wolf Spirit-Calamity
• Snake Spirit-Masochistic
• Spirit Bond-Eagle Spirit-Iron Feather

Best Paragon Boards & Glyphs

When choosing and building Paragon boards and glyphs for this build, it is recommended that you focus on improving critical chance and damage, as well as other options that can make the build’s stats better, such as:

• Start-Spirit
• Ancestral Guidance-Dominate
• Lust for Carnage-Shapeshifter
• Heightened Malice-Fang and Claw
• Survival Instincts-Outmatch

It is worth noting that when you use this build in Pit, it is best to continue upgrading Paragon glyphs and follow the following order:

Leveling Order To 15

• Spirit
• Dominate
• Shapeshifter
• Fang and Claw
• Outmatch

Leveling Order to 46

• Spirit
• Dominate
• Shapeshifter
• Wild
• Outmatch

I believe you should have noticed that Fang and Claw was replaced by Wild in two different situations. This is because the damage bonus of Fang and Claw is good in the early stage, but the legendary ability of Wild can bring you more benefits in high Pit levels.

Best Runewords & Gems

In addition to the essential NaguXan Runeword, in fact, if you can insert a second Runeword for this build, the build can bring you more benefits. For this, it is recommended that you give priority to the following options:

• IgniQuax: It can greatly increase the damage of skills by consuming spirit, and it is very useful to help trigger Ancestral Guidance.
• FeoQuax: The advantage is similar to IgniQuax, but it’s triggering is more troublesome.
• NeoMot: It can provide you with more defense.

As for gem selection, it is recommended that you fill all remaining armor slots with Sapphires and use Emeralds in your weapons to increase critical hit damage, while filling resistance with jewel slots can bring you to the armor cap of 1000.

If after reading the above, you can’t wait to use Crit Lacerate Druid Build in the game for combat and dungeon exploration, then act quickly! Good luck!

Although it has been almost two years since the release of the first season of Diablo 4, and during this period, strong competitors such as POE series have appeared in the game market, this cannot reduce your curiosity and enthusiasm for Diablo 4, a game from the classic ARPG series.

In fact, one of the main reasons why Diablo has always maintained a good reputation among the player community from the beginning to the latest Diablo 4 Season 7 is that it can keep up with the times, especially Diablo 4, which is not only a season setting that always brings you surprise, but in fact it even launched its first DLC in October last year, which was also well received.

Of course, playability is certainly an advantage, but another reason Diablo 4 is worth trying is that the game benefits it provides you are really good - let us ignore the problem of too low drop rate of some seasonal items for the time being, and focus on the rich content of battle passes, especially those exquisite cosmetics.

What Is The Battle Pass?

In order to motivate old players to actively participate in the new season and attract new players to try it, Diablo 4 will set up a free battle pass and a premium battle pass at the beginning of each season. Their reward tracks are basically the same, but the premium reward content will be richer: Besides more Diablo 4 Gold, mounts and other items, it even includes all free battle pass rewards.

However, the premium level rewards do not provide any content that increases your character’s ability, they focus on appearance, improving your gaming experience from another perspective by providing cosmetics or some premium currencies. What free battle pass and premium battle pass have in common is that make your character upgrade faster and more smoothly at the beginning of the new season.

Most battle pass reward content will find ways to reflect the current season theme, helping you upgrade while allowing you to more intuitively feel your participation and completion in this season, encouraging you to stick to the end - it is estimated that it takes 75 hours of game time to complete each battle pass. If the reward is not attractive enough, you may find it difficult to stick to it.

It should be noted that there is actually a third level, accelerated battle pass, which allows you to skip the first 20 levels of the premium pass. In addition, all your Diablo 4 battle pass progress is shared between platforms and will not be restricted by device or platform.

Season 7 Battle Pass

In order to give you a more intuitive understanding of the superiority of the battle pass, we have listed all the current Season 7 battle pass rewards for you:

Free Battle Pass Rewards

• 20 Smoldering Ashes
• 6 Armor Basics
• 5 Weapon Transmogs
• 1 Mount Trophy
• 1 Title
• 1 Town Portal

Premium Battle Pass Rewards

• Free Battle Pass Rewards
• 12 Armor Transmogs
• 19 Weapon Transmogs
• 4 Headstones
• 5 Emotes
• 2 Mounts
• 2 Mount Armors
• 5 Mount Trophies
• 2 Titles
• 700 Platinum
• 2 Town Portals
• 3 Emblems

Accelerated Battle Pass Rewards

• Premium Battle Pass Rewards
• 20 Tier Skips
• 1 Emote (for all classes)

Developers Say That The Battle Pass Should Be Reformed

From the first season to now, Diablo 4’s seasonal battle pass mechanism has been running normally without any major adjustments. Although it is not obvious what is wrong with this, Rod Fergusson, one of the responsible persons, said not long ago that this mechanism is actually a bit “outdated”.

As you know, one key to the success of a game is whether it can retain players, and Fergusson believes that in order for Diablo 4 to do this, it is necessary to innovate the game mechanism in a timely manner, give players more autonomy, and ensure that you can always explore Diablo 4 with great freedom.

As for how to make the future battle pass mechanism do this, Fergusson said that he thinks the similar system in Call of Duty MW2 is very good. Although the system does not be adopted by the latest game in the series, which is Black Ops 6. This system of Call of Duty allows you to prioritize the rewards you want most according to your needs, instead of only being able to receive rewards in order like the current Diablo 4 battle pass. Maybe we will see such a battle pass in Diablo 4 Season 8 in the future.

More Gorgeous Cosmetics

As the most attractive part of Diablo 4 premium battle passes, if various accessories or skins can become more gorgeous, it will inevitably increase your impulse to unlock premium battle pass.

In this regard, Fergusson believes that the appearance provided by Diablo 4 battle passes in the past is somewhat too plain. It’s not that plainness is bad, but as you can see in the game, Diablo 4’s art style has a strong Gothic color. If your character can wear exquisite clothes that match this style, it will definitely enhance your gaming experience.

Or there is another possibility, in Season 7 and later games, the frequency of crossover events will be increased, and the character images of other works will be rewarded to you as new skins, just like the recent TMNT event in Call of Duty BO6. At least, the previous cooperation between Diablo 4 and World of WarCraft proved that D4 can do crossover events well.

Although Fergusson and other Diablo 4 leaders have not confirmed whether there will be initial changes to the battle pass and the appearances available to characters in Season 8, at least from their attitude, it all seems to be on the way, and Diablo 4 will definitely get better in the future.

In order to fully mobilize your enthusiasm for the game, Diablo 4 will regularly launch some events with generous rewards to attract you to participate. Sometimes these events will even appear in Diablo 4 as a way to celebrate and embellish various real festivals, such as the winter event Slay Ride To Hell held in Season 6 last year to warm up for Christmas.

The main event content of Slay Ride To Hell is to require you and the players of the entire game community to work hard to hunt goblins in your respective games, and then distribute rewards to each player based on the hunting performance of the entire community. Perhaps because the event brought a lot of popularity to Diablo 4 at the end of 2024, Diablo 4 decided to hold a similar event called March of the Goblins again in the recent Season 7.

Compared with Slay Ride To Hell and all the goblin-themed events held by Diablo 4 in the past, the mechanism of March of the Goblins has changed. So ensuring you get the most rewards within the time limit, here are the best ways to farm the event rewards.

Overview Of March Of The Goblins

March of the Goblins takes place from March 4 to 11, 2025. It’s worth noting that while the event is limited-time, the six goblins available for hunting will remain in Diablo 4 permanently, and you can always fight them to earn Diablo 4 Gold or other prizes, but they will appear more often during the event.

The six goblins have different rarity, so the rewards they drop for you vary. The hardest and most valuable reward from the mythical purple Fancy Old Fedric, which not only gives you a Mythic Unique item but also a Resplendent Spark that can be used to craft another item!

In addition, if you plan to wait for other players to work hard to advance the event and bring you rewards, as you did in Slay Ride To Hell, you’re making a big mistake. The reward settlement track for this March of the Goblins is no longer universal for the entire community, but is purely a personal progress settlement. If you want to get the rewards you like, you must rely on your own efforts. The higher your event reputation, the more loot you will have by killing goblins.

How To Start March Of The Goblins?

If you have not participated in Slay Ride To Hell in Season 6, or even if you are a complete Diablo 4 novice and have no idea about goblin-related events, don’t worry, we will provide you with the most comprehensive help.

First of all, to start this goblin event officially, after logging into the game, let your character go to Kyovashad and look for Altar of the Goblin statue - it is in front of Idania’s Rings & Amulets shop and will be marked on the mini-map with a white badge icon.

By hovering your mouse over the statue, you will be informed of the level of goblins that can be tracked and what rewards you can get after killing different goblins. After that, you can start your goblin hunting journey in all areas within the game map! It is worth noting that if you reach goblin Level 10 during the event, you will receive a goblin chest in addition to the dropped rewards, which contain rare prizes such as Resplendent Spark and runes.

Best Goblin Farming Locations

Given that the event is limited in time and goblins don’t appear easily, if you want to make the most of farming for the items you need for this event, it is best to try to go to areas where Goblins have a higher probability of appearing, such as Nahantu area.

Once here, you will find that the western areas are most densely goblins distributed here, and Chakhir stronghold at Torment 1 difficulty can even spawn five to seven goblins at a time. As you can imagine, if you farm goblins in this stronghold at the higher Torment difficulty, there will be more goblins.

In fact, in addition to increasing Torment difficulty level, there should be more goblins when there are active Headhunt zones or Helltides in Nahantu. These special events with timers always provide you with excellent opportunities for farm items, including goblins.

In addition to Nahantu, the northwest area of ​​Ked Baru is also a good place to farm. When you come to the beach here, you can even find at least three to five goblins picking up scattered gold coins. At this time, you can attack them by surprise! However, it is recommended that you hunt when the small goblin icons appear in a large number on the mini-map, because when goblins appear scattered among other enemies, the farming efficiency is relatively low.

After trying all the above methods, you can continue to generate shrines in dungeons such as Fractured Peaks and Sarat’s Lair, because these shrines are likely to attract treasure goblins to gather. However, the tricky thing is that this method requires a lot of backtracking, so it is best to use it as your last choice for goblin farming.

Finally, I would like to remind you that: first, the 6 new goblins introduced by March of the Goblins are all randomly generated, and it is not possible to farm specifically for one of them; second, in order to ensure that other players will not steal the fruits of your labor while hunting goblins, please disable PVP mode and cross-platform games before starting the event.

The above is the guide we provide you to playing March of the Goblins. Before the event starts, log in to the game and start your goblin hunting journey!

From the first season to the current seventh season, Diablo 4 has been focusing on its own updates while always listening to the opinions and voices of players, hoping to make Diablo 4 better and better through this “cooperation”.

Based on the current playability of the game and the overall feedback from players, you will find that Diablo 4’s efforts have not been in vain, and it does occupy a very high position among all ARPGs. But this does not mean that Diablo 4 is perfect, and it still needs to be upgraded in many aspects.

Among them, in addition to those that can be gradually adjusted with the change of seasons, there is actually a feature that has been called for by players for a long time but has not been added to the game so far, that is, loot filters.

What Is Loot Filter?

When you explore and fight in Diablo 4 or other similar RPGs, as long as you win, you can get rich loot. In Diablo 4, the usual loot includes Diablo 4 Gold, gear and various props of different rarities, and seasonal items limited to the current season.

But as your level and the level of various dungeons or quests you can challenge increase, the loot you get after victory will increase. On the one hand, this will make your game screen full of these items very inconvenient, and on the other hand, it will make you feel dazzled and unable to pick up the most important loot in time. At this time, loot filters are particularly important.

The usual filter will mark the rarity of all loot for you, allowing you to classify them intuitively to decide which ones are necessary and which ones can be directly discarded. This not only saves time but also helps you better manage your inventory space.

Why Should Diablo 4 Have Loot Filters?

Diablo 4’s original content was very rich, and with the update of seasons and the expansion of Eternal Realm, the game’s volume has become larger and larger, and the loot after battle has become more and more. If loot filters are not added early, the player’s gaming experience will probably start to decline from Season 7.

In addition, many games of the same type have this feature, such as Path of Exile 2, one of Diablo 4’s strongest competitors. The first part of this game has been often compared with D4, and the second part of the early access launched in the second half of last year has attracted many ARPG players-it also has a loot filter function.

So if Diablo 4 does not add this feature in time, it is likely to lose to POE 2 in the competition. But from another perspective, in fact, Diablo 4 can completely learn from the design ideas of POE 2’s loot filters.

Reference POE 2 Loot Filters

Each loot filter in Path of Exile 2 has unique advantages, but their main purpose is to make it easier for you to find specific loot, for example, they will color-code items according to their rarity so that you can quickly sort a bunch of items.

This allows you to decide in a short time which items are worth picking up and which are not, and sometimes the filter will even add an audio prompt when a very unique item is dropped. There are currently 3 loot filters in POE 2, namely:

• Neversink Lite loot filter
• Cyberion loot filter
• Morkaz Strict loot filter

What Is The Attitude Of The Game Developer?

Not long ago, Diablo 4 released a Q&A video with game designer Aislyn Hall on YouTube, in which the question whether the game will add loot filters in the future was asked. Hall did not directly answer “yes” or “no”, but gave his own opinion.

In fact, Hall believes that if this feature is added, it is likely that you will give up poorer items more frequently in future games. Although this can improve your loot pickup efficiency, it will cause you to lose some low-level items that can be used for sale and recycling, which may not be conducive to your accumulation of gold. Hall’s considerations make sense, but given the strong demand for loot filters from Diablo 4 endgame players, loot filters may eventually be available in late Season 7 or Season 8.

How To Get Loot In Diablo 4 Season 7?

Loot filters work only if you have the ability to get a lot of loot, otherwise this feature will be useless. Therefore, we will also provide you with some additional tips for loot farming in Diablo 4 Season 7, some of which are actually universal in all seasons.

Clearing Dungeons

Diablo 4 has many types of dungeons, such as regular nightmare dungeons or Season 7-exclusive Rootholds. These dungeons will set up a lot of challenges and enemies for you, and clearing them will drop a lot of loot.

Complete The Main Quests

Completing the main quest not only unlocks new plots for you but also allows you to get the loot by completing some minor battles during this period. Although the rewards from this method may not be as generous as other methods, the main quest is what you have to complete, so why not get some benefits through it?

Defeat The World Bosses

Diablo 4 has a lot of bosses, some are regular, some only appear in the endgame or Torment difficulty, and you can fight them every season (except for the seasonal boss). But no matter which kind of boss, you will get a lot of loot from them, including unique items.

I hope the information we provide you can help you. Thank you for reading.

For a massive ARPG like Diablo 4, the smooth running is inseparable from the coordination of various mechanisms and systems in the game, because only when they are closely linked to each other can your character be able to upgrade and fight normally in the game. Therefore, you cannot ignore any of these mechanisms, and you should pay attention to its changes in time with the change of seasons, such as runes.

Runes are actually new features added in DLC, but they have quickly been well received by players. In Diablo 4, they can play their respective roles by being inserted into the slots of your weapons or armor, thereby further expanding your possibilities for creating builds and enriching your gaming experience. In order to ensure the availability of runes, Diablo 4 will regularly add new runes to the new season after the DLC, and the recent Season 7 is naturally the same.

How Do Diablo 4 Runes Work?

You can actually think of runes in Diablo 4 as special items, and all slottable runes can be divided into Ritual runes and Invocation runes, which bring new modifiers that can affect all Diablo 4 classes in different ways. In addition, specific runes can be combined to form Runewords that provide additional effects, bringing you more unexpected combat bonuses.

What Is The Overflow Mechanism Of Runes?

Activating Invocation runes requires you to generate offerings for them, but sometimes you may generate too many, and then the overflow mechanism will come into play. This mechanism applies an additional bonus to the effect of the summoning rune, temporarily increasing the power of these runes for a short period to ensure that your excess offerings are not wasted.

Rune Rarity

Ritual runes and Invocation runes can be paired arbitrarily to provide you with greater flexibility in the use of runes. In addition, the power of runes will increase as the rarity increases, and the rarity levels from low to high are magic, rare and legendary. In fact, the rich levels also further expand the possibilities of rune pairing.

How To Farm Runes?

After unlocking the Runeword in the DLC campaign, you can get the loot by defeating bosses, farming Whispering chests or strongholds, etc. These loots include runes in addition to the common Diablo 4 Gold, but the best way to farm runes is Undercity activity.

As for the unlocking of Runeword, it can be done by completing the quest received from Ormus in the council hall of Kurast Undercity. In addition, you can also find tributes in Undercity and other activities to increase the rune rewards you get after completing the quest.

How To Create Runeword?

Creating a Runeword requires a Ritual rune and an Invocation rune, as well as a piece of equipment with two slots. Then, add the runes to the slots to create a Runeword successfully, thereby expanding the effects of the two runes. Available equipment usually includes helmets, chest armor, leg armor, and two-handed weapons.

Ritual runes will generate offerings for you when activated, with the number generated depending on the rune type and rarity. Once the required number of offerings is reached, Invocation runes will begin to take effect, and these effects are very diverse, ranging from single-target skills to area-of-effect skills, which can maximize the enhancement of your equipment.

What New Runes Are There In Season Of Witchcraft?

When the rune system was first launched, there were 28 Invocation runes and 17 Ritual runes. With the arrival of Season 7, three new runes have been added to the game, namely Chac, Igni and Nagu. Chac is an Invocation rune, while Igni and Nagu are Ritual runes. The specific modifiers they provide are as follows:

• Chac: Casts Lightning Bolt on nearby enemies. Requires 20 offerings.
• Igni: Passively stores offerings every second, and it grants you stored offerings as long as you cast any skill other than basic skills. A total of 25 offerings are generated.
• Nagu: This rune generates offerings for you as long as the summon is active, and each additional summon generates more offerings. You can generate up to six summons for a total of 100 offerings.

Best Uses

As you can see from their use, Chac rune is great with any class that can generate offerings quickly, automatically casting Lightning Bolt whenever you reach the required threshold for this rune. If this rune is affected by the overflow mechanic, it can also cast more Lightning Bolt.

On this basis, Igni rune works perfectly with Chac rune, as long as you can stack a lot of offerings over time, and continue to cast Lightning Bolt while casting non-basic skills. This attack mode allows you to stack up to 500 offerings to fully utilize the overflow bonus to clear enemies.

Nagu is probably the best rune for summoning classes such as Druid and Necromancer, as they can always maintain the maximum number of summons required to generate the most offerings. In fact, you can also pair new runes with old ones to create some new and powerful Runewords, which may further enhance the strength of your usual build.

Of course, the premise for enjoying the benefits of Season 7’s new runes is that you must not only understand them but also understand how the entire Diablo 4 rune mechanism works. So we hope that this guide we provide can really help you, and I wish you a happy new season!

As a class that has been with players since Diablo 1, although its popularity and usage rate may not be as good as the original as the game continues to launch new classes after Sorcerer, this does not mean that Sorcerer has no combat power - in fact, in the latest Diablo 4 Season 7, the performance of this class is still good.

There is no doubt that the reason any class can perform well in Diablo 4 is that, in addition to having irreplaceable characteristics, it should also have powerful builds that combine its own available skills and unique items. As for Sorcerer, it is precisely because it was born early that there are many choices of available builds, so you may not know what build to use as a Sorcerer after entering Season of Witchcraft.

However, if you have been playing Diablo 4 since 2023, you will know that Sorcerer’s Incinerate skill was significantly enhanced in Season 3, increasing the amount of damage output by 40%, and it has not been weakened since then, making it still one of the stronger damage skills of Sorcerer. On this basis, the addition of Flamethrower’s Aspect further improves the AOE effect of this skill, making Incinerate Sorcerer Build with this skill as the core still competitive in Season 7.

Why Is Incinerate Sorcerer Better Than Other Builds?

As Sorcerer builds that can be classified as A-level, Fire Sorcerer and Incinerate Sorcerer are basically the same in terms of strength. Although more players have adopted the former recently, the advantage of Incinerate Sorcerer is that it is easier to use, because its skill rotation is so simple that you don’t need to think more. Just use Ice Nova and Inferno to output during the cooldown, and use Incinerate all the time.

It should be noted that Incinerate deals primarily burn damage, so the amount of damage will vary over time, and it won’t be able to deal the critical hit. This means that Incinerate Sorcerer Build is better suited for clearing dungeons or other places with numerous common enemies than for dealing with single bosses - large-scale burning can increase the efficiency of enemies dropping Diablo 4 Gold for you, thus saving you farming time.

How To Combine With The New Features Of Season 7?

As we all know, the biggest highlight of this season is the various witchcraft powers with different effects, and the second is Occult gems that can be crafted with Restless Rot. They not only make this season more interesting to experience but also provide you with a way to upgrade classic builds such as Incinerate Sorcerer Build.

Choice Of Witchcraft Powers

The witchcraft powers that can help Incinerate Sorcerer mainly come from the powers represented by the three Season 7 witch NPCs, namely Eldritch, Growth, and Decay powers, and more specifically include the following:

• Soul Harvest: It can improve your attributes when there are enemies gathering around.
• Decay Augmentation: Increases the damage of Incinerate and your all witchcraft powers.
• Purging Touch: Increases Incinerate effect.
• Hex of Whispers: Clears crowd control and grants reinforcement.
• Shaken Soul: Ensure your Frigid Fate is always active.
• Doom Orb: Increases Eldritch power required to activate Witching Hour.

These witching powers can be obtained at the altars associated with the three witches near Tree of Whispers after completing the relevant pre-quests in the Season 7 main quest, and be unlocked for use by increasing your reputation with Coven.

Choice Of Occult Gems

To make your Incinerate Sorcerer Build stronger in the current season, here are three Occult gems you can’t miss:

• Witching Hour: Provides Decay Augmentation and Purging Touch bonuses to your Incinerate skills.
• Friend of the Bog: Provides additional core attributes, maximum health, and unhindered status.
• Wicked Pact: Enhances Purging Touch.

How To Match Skills?

While seasonal powers are worth taking advantage of, skill selection and matchmaking are the heart and soul of any build, and Incinerate Sorcerer Build is no exception. As with other meta Sorcerer builds, if this build is to help your character have decent survivability in the late game, it is best to pair it with defensive skills that can mitigate as much damage as possible. Some defensive skills can even provide you with damage bonuses such as unstoppable by activating Tal Rasha’s Iridescent Loop.

In terms of damage output, the obvious main skill for this build that deals damage is Incinerate, which can be maximized over the course of a fight in terms of both damage and uptime. A second good offensive skill is Frost Nova, which freezes targets to make them take more damage. Finally, Inferno increases the damage dealt by Burn when activated, creates a Vulnerability effect, and even reduces the mana consumption of Incinerate, making it perfect for being cast on cooldown.

What Enchantment And Temper Slots Are Best?

The key enchants for this build are Teleport and Firewall. The former can be a useful defensive tool by increasing the build’s mobility, while the latter increases the damage you deal when an Incinerate spawns - which is very useful, as Incinerate Sorcerer can actually deal continuous damage.

In addition, the best Temper slots for this build should have the following critical breakpoints:

• Frost Nova size +100%
• Chance for Incinerate to deal double damage +85%
• Inferno cooldown reduction +60%

The above is just some ideas we have for making Incinerate Sorcerer Build more feasible in Diablo 4 Season 7, and there are actually many more possibilities that you can explore in actual games. Wish you success!

As you know, Diablo 4 series is always full of quests and challenges, whether it is various dungeons that need to be cleared or some side quests that can bring extra rewards, you should try your best to complete them.

But in fact, compared with the main quest, other challenges are not so important. On the one hand, it is because the gradual advancement of the main quest can simultaneously unlock the main storyline updated in the current season for you, and on the other hand, every time you complete a key part, you can get Diablo 4 Gold after reading the relevant story.

It should be noted that, like any previous season, the opening of the main quest Coven questline in Season 7 requires you to complete the previous related content in the DLC or Season 6, otherwise you may not be able to smoothly connect with the plot.

Based on this, we will introduce you to how to open and gradually complete Coven questline successfully.

Pre-Quests And Story

Diablo 4’s main storyline has been continued and further expanded in the story presented in Season 6 and the DLC, in order to start the main storyline related to Coven in Season 7. Your character and the protagonist group will start to hunt down Mephisto after he takes over Akarat’s body. Although his traces have disappeared at this time, his minions are still causing trouble in Sanctuary.

In addition, some evil entity has stolen the heads from Tree of Whispers, so you have another important goal of this season to recover them by fighting new seasonal enemies.

How To Start Season 7 Coven Questline?

As we have already mentioned, in order to start this questline, it is best to complete the main game and Vessel of Hatred campaign first, because the main story of Season 7 connects with the ending story of the expansion. If you have already completed them before, you can skip them directly, but if you are a new player, although it is okay to skip them, it is recommended to play them at least once to avoid missing out on Diablo 4 Gold or other loot in the battle rewards.

To begin the questline of Season 7 after completing the pre-launch content, you first need to travel to Gea Kul and chat with a witch NPC named Gelena - she is also one witch who will help you gain witchcraft powers later. Shortly after entering Diablo 4 Season 7, a quest called Oaths and Debts will be added to your quest tracker, and it will be simple to find Gelena as long as you follow the instructions and markers given by the quest.

After finding and talking to Gelena, she will invite you to enter Overgrown Tenement dungeon with her, where there is an enemy called Enraged Headless Husk, which is very difficult, but you must fight and kill him. Once you are done, please meet up with Gelena, and she will tell you to continue to Tree of Whispers to meet her, which means that Coven questline has finally officially begun.

Notes On Completing Coven Questline

First, if you want to play the exclusive Coven questline for Season 7, you must enter the season as a seasonal character to play it, because unlike Season 5, the new story quests in Season 7 have not yet been added to Eternal Realm. This is mainly because the focus of this season is to unlock new witchcraft powers through seasonal quests, rather than further advancing the overarching story through seasonal content like Season 5.

Therefore, while you can use the Welcome Back Boost to pre-set the build and upgrade your character directly to level 50, this is only suitable for situations where you don’t want to start a new character and just want to play in Eternal Realm. The boost cannot advance your Season 7 progress or strengthen your witchcraft powers.

Although there are some unique quests and new NPCs to meet from time to time throughout Coven questline, their main purpose is just to enrich your seasonal experience. If you want to use this questline to obtain more loot and witchcraft powers or complete the upgrade faster, it is recommended that you actively run Helltides or other related dungeons to farm Whispers.

So once you start Coven questline, aside from completing some quests that advance the story, all you have to do is farm Whispers, return to the relevant NPCs for delivery, and repeat. That’s why you’ll eventually find that the main attraction of Season 7 is the new witchcraft power rather than the narrative of the main story, so don’t expect this quest line to bring you any extra surprises in terms of the storyline.

How To Find Whispers?

After opening your Diablo 4 Season 7 map, Whispers icons will appear in the red or blue shaded areas on the map. Hovering over these icons will show the specific challenges and the loot after completing the challenges.

These challenges or quests are usually to kill a specific type of monster in the area, or to find items, escort or protect NPCs, etc. The final reward is 1, 3 or 5 Grim Favors, depending on the difficulty of the quest. Also, keep an eye on Whispers of the Dead progress bar at the bottom of the screen, because when you get 10 or more Grim Favors, you will not be able to continue farming unless you visit Tree of Whispers or Raven of the Tree to hand in Grim Favors you have already obtained.

The above is how to start the main quest line Coven questline in Season 7 and the precautions. I hope it can help you get the required witchcraft power by completing this quest line as soon as possible!

It has been more than a month since the official launch of Diablo 4 Season 7. Compared with the initial enthusiasm caused by curiosity, now you should be more calm and objective when playing Season of Witchcraft. Therefore, besides the advantages of witchcraft power, you can also find that there are still many aspects of the game that need to be improved.

Although these shortcomings may not be solved immediately in the current season after being raised, at least the game developers will be aware of these problems in advance so that they can be adjusted and upgraded in Season 8 in a few months. Based on this, we will introduce you to these game contents that need to be improved.

Tedious And Repetitive Strongholds

Whether it is the original Diablo or the latest Diablo 4, although the entire game series has been undergoing adjustments, updates and changes all the time, its core has not changed, that is, you need to always work hard to obtain resources.

Unlocking and collecting different weapons, amulets, and armor, and finding ways to improve the efficiency of Diablo 4 Gold farming not only allows you to enjoy the fun of obtaining loot but also helps you further get other higher-level resources to upgrade your character. Of all the channels that can obtain resources, strongholds have been a more popular one in the past.

In Diablo 4, strongholds are actually a settlement that is initially occupied by enemies, and you need to obtain loot by completing tough challenges in it. The enemies in the encounters in strongholds fight fiercely and are usually at least two levels higher than your character. Although you can earn renown points to upgrade your character later, many players feel that the time and effort required to clear the fortress is not commensurate with the amount of rewards in the end.

However, difficulty is not the most fatal problem of strongholds, because difficulty sometimes means that the combat process can be interesting. After Season 7 is launched, you will find that as you become more familiar with building a new character, strongholds become more and more boring, and even the last advantage is lost. Some Diablo 4 players even say they never play strongholds.

How To Improve It?

While most waypoints in Diablo 4 only need to be unlocked once, and they remain unlocked when you play with a new character, waypoints in the stronghold must be unlocked again. This will undoubtedly greatly undermine the fun and desire of starting a new Diablo 4 character, causing you to get bored with the game itself, eventually.

Therefore, we think it would be best for Diablo 4 to change the completion of strongholds to a universal feature for the entire account in the late Season 7 or Season 8, just like Altars of Lilith and renown. In this way, by continuing the progress of strongholds to the game progress of all your characters, unnecessary clearing time is saved, making the operation of strongholds more efficient and meaningful.

Eternal Realm Seems To Be Unchanging

Although seasonal content is the main content of each Diablo 4 season update and attracting players, they only last for a few months after all. As the seasons change, you will find that your Diablo 4 experience seems to be stuck in a vicious cycle: play some new seasonal content, quickly become familiar with them and get tired of them, then start looking forward to the next new season too early, and repeat.

This is not to say that seasonal content is not needed. On the contrary, they should be better, but in addition, Diablo 4 should pay attention to the update and construction of Eternal Realm. Although seasonal power and new unique items can make your character more powerful, the lack of core gameplay related to Eternal Realm makes you feel that these new powers have no occasion to play.

Add Seasonal Stories To It In A Timely Manner

As a huge system for storing your old characters, it may not be realistic to add new mechanisms to Eternal Realm frequently, but it should not be difficult to incorporate the main story of the season that has ended into it-in fact, Diablo Immortal did this.

Whether Diablo 4 wants to attract new players or retain old players, it should consider incorporating the main story of the previous season into Eternal Realm in a timely manner after the end of the previous season, even if it is just to watch the plot. Or the game can also add or retain some simple quest lines that can provide small rewards.

This way, regardless of whether players are familiar with Diablo 4 before, they can enter Eternal Realm to relive the entire main story after completing the seasonal content and enjoy the benefits of the new quests. In fact, this will also make the story timeline of the game world more coherent and have a sense of narrative integrity, and give every player the opportunity to experience the story of any character.

Gradually Losing The Challenge Of The Endgame

Although appropriately reducing the difficulty is conducive to attracting more players, as an ARPG, if Diablo 4 blindly reduces the challenge of the endgame, it may prevent you from enjoying the joy of victory, and eventually lose the desire to challenge, and even give up the game.

For example, in the latest Season 7, although the new witchcraft power and unique items are interesting and powerful, the lack of high-difficulty endgame content undoubtedly makes everything meaningless. In addition, the drop of loot has become easier, thereby pressing the accelerator for the entire Season 7 progress, making it impossible for you to really enjoy the fun of the game. Therefore, Diablo 4 should really improve this problem in subsequent seasons.

Despite the above shortcomings, this does not mean that Diablo 4 is not a good game. In fact, it has been committed to solving problems in order to provide you with a better gaming experience. I hope it can get better!

Even after Spiritborn was introduced in the DLC, make the number of classes in Diablo 4 reached 6, but each class still has its own unique strengths. For example, Rogue has always been known for its agility and good mobility. Although its defense and range are slightly insufficient, as an assassin class, the right builds can completely make up for its shortcomings.

If you have been playing Diablo 4 since last year, you should know that since the birth of Rogue’s Dance of Knives skill, builds centered on this skill have been showing their prowess in the game. But as the game progresses to Season 7, relying on only this type of Rogue is obviously not enough, so Rain of Arrows Build with a similar design idea came into being.

What Is Rogue Rain Of Arrows Build?

As a new Rogue build that performs well in the new season, Rain of Arrows works similarly to Dance of Knives-type builds, which kills large groups of enemies at once by shooting dense arrays of arrows at the enemy in battle, making it very suitable for Diablo 4 Gold farming in Helltides, nightmare dungeons and Pit. The reason Rain of Arrows is more suitable for Season 7 is that it can be well matched with the current season’s witchcraft power.

What Is Rain Of Arrows?

As the core basic skill of this build, Rain of Arrows can shoot arrows into the sky after being cast, and it will fall twice in a row in a large area to cause damage to the enemy. The cooldown time is 50 seconds and the lucky hit rate is 4%. This skill can be upgraded twice, and the first upgrade is Prime Rain of Arrows, the second upgrade is Supreme Rain of Arrows.

How To Use Rain Of Arrows Build In Battle?

The core damage output of this build is undoubtedly to create dense and dense arrow arrays to attack the enemy, so you must somehow reduce the cooldown of related skills or passive effects while resetting their cooldowns to increase the frequency of output arrow arrays. For this, Rogue’s Specialization system will come in handy.

Use The Right Specialization

The five old-line classes in Diablo 4 currently have their own unique mechanics, and Rogue’s Specialization system is the most unique. Although it is the least customizable, it does not require you to earn extra experience or collect Spirit Offerings for it, and only requires you to obtain three key passive options: Combo Points, Inner Sight, and Preparation. For Rain of Arrows Build, the best Specialization is Preparation.

Although this Specialization requires you to consume 75 energy points, it can reduce the cooldown of the ultimate skill Supreme Rain of Arrows by 5 seconds, and then the ultimate skill will reset all your other cooldowns and provide you with 15% damage reduction for 10 seconds. This way, you can output arrows faster while minimizing enemy counterattacks - after all, Rogue’s defense is not strong.

Wear Reliable Gear

First, it is recommended that you strive to obtain Beastfall Boots for this build. This armor can be randomly dropped by defeating enemies, opening treasure chests, or destroying items in the world, and the higher the level of the challenge, the greater the drop rate.

As a unique armor that can be worn by Rogue class, Beastfall Boots will make your next core skill consume all your energy when you cast your ultimate skill, but for every point of energy consumed, your output damage will increase by 0.25-0.75%, and the skill’s use cooldown can restore 25 energy points.

In addition to this armor, it is also recommended that you obtain Aspect of Arrow Storms. This is an attack-type legendary aspect that gives your related skills up to 36% chance to create arrow rain on the enemy, causing continuous damage. Its Lucky Shot effect gives your Marksman and Cutthroat skills up to a 25% chance to create a rain of arrows that deals 156-486 physical damage to enemies over 3 seconds.

How Can This Build Help You Level Up Quickly By Combining With The Witchcraft Power?

The witchcraft power is the biggest feature of the current season, so you should really try to use it to your advantage in any situation, such as combining it with your Rain of Arrows Build to get you to level 60 as soon as possible in the early stages of the game.

To do this, you need to combine Dance of Knives skill and the power of Aura of Siphoning, one of the witchcraft powers, on top of Rain of Arrows Build you have already built, to clear most of the early Diablo 4 Season 7 challenges quickly. Dance of Knives can increase your movement speed, and Aura of Siphoning will surround you while allowing you to deal 372 poison damage to enemies per second, and you will restore 1% of your maximum health every time you deal damage.

It is worth mentioning that if you have additional Aspect of Star Shards, your Dance of Knives skill will have a powerful affix, which will further increase your leveling speed.

Hopefully, the above information can help you become a stronger Rogue in Season 7! Have fun!

As a new class first introduced in Vessel of Hatred DLC in October 2024, Spiritborn is a more agile and monk-like fast melee class in Diablo 4. In addition, their abilities are much more complex than they initially appear, as they can command the spirits of four unique beasts to gain more additional abilities.

Although you may find that Spiritborn is too powerful compared to other classes shortly after launch, it is precisely based on this situation that Diablo 4 has made different strength adjustments to 6 classes including Spiritborn in Season 7 so that you can enjoy a more fair playing environment in the latest season.

However, this also means that if you plan to play Spiritborn in Season 7, you need to make corresponding adjustments to your playing strategy. For example, before you reach level 60, your builds must be set to help you level up as quickly as possible; and after entering the endgame, your builds should become more powerful so that you can cope with more difficult game content.

Based on this, we will introduce you how to combine skills, gear or other aspects to get better Spiritborn leveling builds in these two different situations to help you conquer Torment I or higher-level game content.

1. Spiritborn Leveling Builds

In order to make the most of each of your 71 skill points before reaching level 60, it is recommended that you choose Quill Volley as the core skill for your builds at this stage, and combine it with major skills such as Soar, The Seeker, Thunderspike, etc.

Best Skills For Leveling

Based on this, we will recommend you some skills suitable for Spiritborn upgrade builds, and you need to use them in the exact order when you obtain them. Additionally, some skills require you to allocate a certain number of skill points in the skill tree to unlock them, so you need to unlock new skills before you can further enhance them:

• Thunderspike / Enhanced Thunderspike / Accelerated Thunderspike
• Quill Volley (rank 1-4) / Enhanced Quill Volley / Advantageous Quill Volley
• Soar
• Ravager
• Quill Volley (rank 5)
• Vigorous
• Velocity (rank 1-3)
• Enhanced Ravager / Replenishing Ravager
• Rushing Claw / Enhanced Rushing Claw / Invasive Rushing Claw
• Vigorous (rank 2-3)
• Focal Point
• Apex (rank 1-3)
• Enhanced Soar / Replenishing Soar
• Endurance
• Fueled

Of course, the choice of Spirit Hall is also important for Spiritborn. It is recommended that you choose Eagle as the primary choice and Jaguar as the secondary choice, so that you can maximize the benefits provided by Spirit Hall while being able to adjust according to the situation at any time flexibly.

Best Legendary Aspect

When you start playing a new character in Season 7, it is best to complete the following four dungeons to collect the available attributes contained in them, and then put them on a piece of jewelry-type gear. If you only have weapon-type gear, it is best to exchange Diablo 4 Gold for a piece of jewelry.

• Turbulence (Ruined Wild, Nahantu)
• Haste (Seething Underpass, Nahantu)
• Rebounding (Forge of Malice, Nahantu)
• Disobedience (Halls of the Damned, Kehjistan)

2. Spiritborn Endgame Builds

After reaching level 60 with suitable leveling builds, you can not only use all 71 skill points but also make further progress through Paragon boards. But you also need to continue to adjust your Spiritborn builds to make it more suitable for the new stage (including endgame).

Best Skill Point Allocation Plan

In the later stages, it is recommended to use Touch of Death as the core skill of new builds. This will become your main means of dealing damage, and this skill can also play a good synergy with Armored Hide, Scourge, Ravager and other skills.

You need to invest all 71 skill points to complete this version, but if you get all the prerequisite points in the skill tree in the early stages, the order of these skills can be more arbitrary.

• Rock Splitter / Enhanced Rock Splitter
• Vigorous (rank 1-2)
• Balanced Exertion (rank 1-3)
• Ravager / Enhanced Ravager / Measured Ravager
• Mirage
• Unrestrained Power (rank 1-3)
• Focal Point
• Apex (rank 1-3)
• Armored Hide / Enhanced Armored Hide / Reinforced Armored Hide
• Counterstrike / Enhanced Counterstrike / Reinforced Counterattack
• Scourge / Enhanced Scourge / Reinforced Scourge
• Endurance
• Perseverance (rank 1-3)
• Patient Guard
• Auspicious (rank 1-3)

The primary Spirit Hall for this build is Gorilla, which can give your character a good defense, and the secondary choice is Jaguar, which can increase your attack speed.

Best Legendary Aspects & Uniques

To make Touch of Death Spiritborn build work, you need to pair it with the following powers and items:

• Helm: Tenacity
• Chest: Might
• Gloves: Potent Exchange
• Pants: Apprehension
• Boots: Duelist’s
• Weapon: Insatiable
• Amulet: Unyielding Hits
• Ring 1: Redirected Force
• Ring 2: Starlight

Best Ways To Invest In Paragon Board

Without a doubt, the construction of Paragon board should be the biggest difference between early and late Spiritborn builds. Since Paragon board system is very complex, you need to pair your glyphs carefully with the specific board that suits your class to expand your power:

• Start / Spirit
• Convergence / Bane
• Vicious Shield / Canny
• Sapping / Revenge
• Revealing / Colossal

In addition, you should also upgrade your glyphs to level 15 in the following order:

• Spirit
• Bane
• Canny
• Revenge
• Colossal

How To Make Great Spiritborn Builds?

In addition to the above solutions we have provided for you, you should also understand some core ideas for creating a great Spiritborn build. For example, all Spiritborn builds should revolve around the four animal spirits that control their skill sets, namely Gorilla, Jaguar, Eagle, and Centipede.

Each of these animals has exclusive skills, and you can either choose one of them to create a powerful single build based on this, or combine them together to get some very powerful combinations, such as mixing Eagle with Centipede, which can form a poison/crit build to defeat group-type enemies quickly.

Hopefully, after mastering these, you can have a better gaming experience as a Spiritborn in Season 7. Have fun!
