Currently in Diablo 4 PTR, Builds of different strengths and functions provide players with a rich gaming experience. Among them, different Classes usually have corresponding Builds that are more suitable for their Class characteristics.

Therefore, if you want to get a better gaming experience in upcoming Diablo 4 Season 6, no matter which Class you play in the game, you must choose Build that best suits your Class. Based on this, we will introduce five new Builds for five major Classes, with Class as the category.

1. Sorcerer

New Build of Sorcerer differs from its classic Skill Lightning Spear. This Build creates numerous Explosions by surrounding the player with Chain Lightning and Axial Conduit, using Soak your Mana as the source of power.

In the process of Soaking your Mana, you can confirm how much Chain Lightning you want to use to ensure that your Mana is not Soaked too much.

After Explosion is formed, this Build can continuously form unstable current through Teleport. In this way, you will get a lot of sustainable Lightning. This also means that your Build can exert more power.

When you use this Build, if you also have Weapon Azurewrath and enough Lucky Hit Chance in the battle, you can Trigger Frost Explosion through Cold Damage brought by Azurewrath. This can bring you 177,000 Damage, and there is a 20% chance to Freeze Enemies.

In fact, there are ways to increase Lucky Hit Chance, such as when you have Ring of Starless Skies and other related Diablo 4 Items.

2. Rogue

Rogue’s new Build is mainly reflected through its new Skill in PTR. As a new Skill, Dance of Knives, you don’t need Channel when using it, you just need to Poison Imbuement it. Then let your Shadow and Smoke Grenade Damage with Poison Trap Skill to make your Build more powerful.

Dance of Knives can help you move quickly and irregularly among many Enemies, thus confusing Enemies and making them unable to catch your movement trajectory.

If you also have Imbuements Concealment Skill when using new Build, you can throw knives through Dance of Knives. Each knife will cause Critical Strike to Enemy.

3. Druid

If your Class is Druid, then in Diablo 4 Season 6, you may continue to use Landslide Build. In the battle, you can effectively strike Enemies by using Petrify Skill, and use it with Poison Creeper Skill, which will definitely bring unexpected surprises.

In fact, Slide Storm Build is still worth using so far. If you want to find a variety of Druid Build gameplay, this is also a good choice.

4. Necromancer

Necromancer shows a new Build operation mode in PTR that differs from general Bone Spirit Build in the past. When using this Build, you first need to use Blood Lances to throw Blood Waves to consume some Blood Orbs, and then cast Bone spirit Skills.

This set of operation procedures is smoother and easier to operate than normal Bone Spirit Build. Because when you use other Bone Spirit Builds, you need to be near Enemies to cast Bone Spirit Skills.

When using new Build, you just need to make sure you are moving forward. You can use Tides of Blood to push yourself towards Enemies. They will move along your trajectory, and Bone Spirit Skills released from you will quickly cause a lot of Damage to them.

However, it is worth noting that players usually need to have some special Items to maximize the power of this Damage, such as Doombringer. Once you get Blood Artisan’s Cuirass, the benefits you get in battle will be greatly improved.

Of course, if you don’t have these Items, it doesn’t prevent you from using this Build, but you may not use its maximum limit.

5. Barbarian

Among five Builds, Barbarian can be said to be the most distinctive. Its primary function is to create Earthquake Aspect through a specific Rune to attack Enemies.

When someone is in a Standing Still state, he will be affected by Earthquake Aspect, but Barbarian can adapt to this effect very well. So if you play Barbarian, you can use this feature to cause Damage to Enemies.

Currently, it takes 100 or 50 Offerings to cast an Earthquake Aspect. However, since Earthquake Aspect can bring better benefits to players, the cost of casting it may be increased in the future.

In specific operations, first you can Stack your Earthquake Aspect, then use Challenging Shout to Trigger Cooldown so that Petrify can continue to operate. Finally, use Ground Stomp to cause Stun to Enemies. This can even help you create more Earthquake Aspect in the future.

Five Builds have their own advantages based on the characteristics of different Classes. But they can undoubtedly bring you a special experience in Diablo 4 Season 6.

In addition, if you want to know more about Builds, or discuss Season 6 with your friends, you can enter IGGM Discord. Here you can not only communicate with others about the game but also get game-related materials and prizes by entering the giveaway channel!

Diablo 4 Season 5 takes players back to Hell, where the new Infernal Hordes activity will take place there. It is a mode that gives much emphasis on the quantity of enemies, and player are required to fight with those overwhelming bosses.

Infernal Hordes features as a new wave-based endgame activity, and it can be concluded in the category of Vampire Survivors. And actually, it can be said that Season 5 is a game mode inspired by Vampire Survivors, because in the game, boons coexist with banes.

This article will introduce this wave-based Vampire Survivors type game mode in detail. Let us appreciate the charm and appeal of this mode together.

A Wave-Based Survival Mode Features Season 5

The new wave-based rogue-lite mode is one of the highlights of the entire Season 5. In short, it is Infernal Hordes mode. The following are the specific rules of this mode.

First, Infernal Hordes mode is divided into different waves, each of which will last for 90 seconds.

Second, when you defeat monsters, as a reward, the most important is a currency called Burning Aether, which will be described in detail below.

Third, after each wave comes to a conclusion, you are required to choose from three different power-ups that will grant you a boon and a bane and also will further influence the overall difficulty of your next wave.

Finally, with all the waves have been completed, Fell Council will be introduced in the game, a group of three randomly chosen from a pool of five Minibosses.

The Details Of Vampire Survivors-Inspired Rogue-lite Game

Vampire Survivors are characterized by the combination of threats and rewards. Infernal Hordes is overwhelmed by endless bosses, players must fight these densely packed and powerful enemies. But in the process, players will also receive a lot of rewards. For example, Uniques that bosses will drop, Greater Affix items along with mountains of Diablo 4 Gold.

Between waves, players are required to choose a boon and a bane that will persist until this wave has come to an end. Specifically, boons represent the specific rewards that you will gain while banes are the symbol of those powerful enemies. Boons grants players beneficial buffs while banes will deal great damage to you.

After surviving through enough waves, boss fights against members of Fell Council will be officially launched. And you may be familiar with those enemies, because they are exactly the resurrected versions of enemies from Diablo 2 that you have encountered before.

The rewards offered by Infernal Hordes are very tempting. After reaching World Tier 3, a total of eight difficulties are waiting for you to make a choice. The rewards it has provided are locked in various of chest. Players must collect the designated currency - Burning Aether during the game to open those chests, which owns a super high odds to get new Unique items and pick up an item with one Greater Affix.

Of course, there is a lot of gold to be gained. It is undeniable that plenty of gear-upgrading systems require large amounts of gold as a support. In addition, Infernal Hordes serves as another way to earn Masterworking materials.

The above is the relevant sharing about the source of the mode in Diablo 4 Season 5. It is undeniable that this is indeed a very attractive setting, which makes the entire game full of unpredictability and the difficulty of the game increases accordingly.

If you are also interested in other mechanisms in Diablo 4, or encounter some difficulties in the game, welcome to enter IGGM discord to participate in the discussion. There will also be occasional lucky draws held in Giveaway channel.

The latest activity will be held on September 18th, and 20 lucky players will be chosen to share these mountains of rewards of 5,000 Duriel materials, 5,000 Andariel materials, 20,000 Stygian stones and 20,000 Exquisite Blood on average. Isn’t it pretty generous? So please remember to join in timely. Thanks for reading.

Diablo 4 Season 6 is coming with a series of updates and changes that will reshape the player experience. Through PTR experience of 2.0 major update, we already know that Vessel of Hatred will introduce important changes that affect all classes and builds.

Now that PTR is over, have you decided which class and build you should choose to experience the new Season 6 content? This guide will provide you with predictions for the best class and build based on the upcoming changes.

Class Changes

Players will gain additional skill points between levels 50 and 60 to adjust your build. The maximum level of the character is capped at level 60. After reaching level 60, players will transition to Paragon levels, further strengthening the build.

World tiers have been restructured. Players will now advance through new difficulty levels called Normal, Hard, Expert, and Penitent then unlock Torment levels. Ancestral items will drop at the beginning of the Torment level, and the introduction of new item qualities will change the way players equip in the endgame stages.

Season 6 Class Tier List

The impact of new skills, changes to Paragon system, item quality adjustments, and the introduction of Rune Words will all have an impact on class rankings in Season 6. When considering the general enhancements and the impact of the new systems being introduced on Season 6, an early preview of Season 6 class tier list is given below.

1. Spiritborn

Tier: S

Spiritborn is equipped with a range of active and passive skills, such as Concussive Stomp and Vortex. Not only do these skills introduce new strategic options that will hopefully increase their adaptability in a variety of game situations, but they also have the potential to create powerful synergies with other game mechanics. Therefore, it is well worth spending some Diablo 4 Gold to acquire equipment that can enhance Spiritborn’s damage output.

2. Necromancer

Tier: S

Some of the Necromancer’s key skills have been significantly improved. Blood Lance can now pierce through enemies and gain suppression effects after multiple casts. The newly added ultimate skill S Rift can absorb souls to deal damage and create a defensive barrier. Enhanced passive skills also further improve Necromancer’s utility and damage output.

3. Sorcerer

Tier: S

Sorcerer gains a summon skill that dynamically adjusts based on the last element used. The passive skill Enlightenment significantly increases damage output under certain conditions and optimizes elemental damage synergy. The update of Rune words expands Sorcerer’s cross-class tactical options.

4. Barbarian

Tier: A

Barbarian introduces new skills and passive skills. Barbed Carapace passive skill can improve Thorns builds, while new skills such as Pulse AOE and Mighty Throw can enhance Barbarian’s diversity and crowd control capabilities. These skills, combined with the rich Paragon board, improve Barbarian’s utility and damage.

5. Rogue

Tier: B

Rogue will gain a new skill that enhances mobility and attack power. The adjustment of passive skills focuses on enhancing elemental damage and injecting additional effects into skills. But compared with other professions, these updates are far from enough.

6. Druid

Tier: C

Druid’s Stone Burst skill will be buffed, while the One with Nature passive is designed to greatly enhance companion abilities, but Druid will still be in the lower tier unless further adjustments are made after PTR.

Builds Tier List

Our ranking of the best builds in Diablo 4 Season 6 based on the changes in PTR is as follows:

1. Lightning Spear Sorcerer

Lightning Spear Sorcerer was the best build in Season 5, and it is still a top choice in Season 6. It benefits from a conjuration mastery cap increase to 30, which enhances its already strong damage output. With the addition of splintering buff and rune word benefits, it can deal more deadly damage. The inclusion of War Cry in its arsenal further consolidates its leading position.

2. Bleed Builds

Bleed Builds may not have a particularly strong performance in Season 6. Despite this, players have always maintained a high level of enthusiasm for testing and optimizing these builds. But without major innovations in build strategies, they are not expected to reach the top level.

3. Rapid Fire Rogue

Rapid Fire Rogue impressed players with its high damage output in Season 5. Its adjustments in PTR are not expected to have an impact on its high damage. Therefore, it will still be a solid choice for players looking for a stable performance.

4. Bone Spirit Necromancer

Bone Spirit Necromancer may see a boost in survivability in Season 6. Double damage with the new update may make this build even more popular.

Each of these builds has unique advantages and disadvantages, and their ultimate survivability may change further in PTR. If you are missing some items or equipment when doing these builds, you can follow Giveaway channel in IGGM discord, which often releases product giveaway information for Diablo 4, and you can explore these builds with more players in the discord group and pay attention to more powerful builds.

If you have been playing Diablo 4 since Season 2, you must be familiar with Echo of Varshan. It has been the endgame boss of this game since then. Like other endgame bosses, Echo of Varshan will also provide you with some very useful loot for your endgame builds.

But in fact, defeating Echo of Varshan is not a simple task. You need to collect some rare summoning materials and summon it at a designated location before you can start your fight with it. If you have not yet explored this terrible boss, this guide will show you how to summon it and take its loot smoothly.

How To Find Echo Of Varshan?

The first thing you need to understand is that Echo of Varshan will appear in World Tier 3 or World Tier 4, so your character must also reach this Tier to participate in the subsequent battle. Once your character and build are strong enough, you can head to Tree of Whispers Waypoint, and you’ll find a cave called Malignant Burrow behind a tree. In the cave, there’s a path that leads you to a small dungeon. At the end of the dungeon, there’s an altar, which is where you place your summoning materials.

In Diablo 4 Season 5, you can fight two variants of Echo of Varshan - the standard variant and Tormented variant. For the standard Echo of Varshan, you’ll need to provide 2 Malignant Hearts in World Tier 3 and 5 Malignant Hearts in World Tier 4, while for Tormented Echo of Varshan, you’ll need to provide 15 Malignant Hearts and a Stygian Stone obtained from The Pit.

These summoning materials all require you to fight a few battles to get them, so before you start farming for them, you’ll also want to make sure your build is strong enough to get through Sanctuary. If not, upgrade it as soon as possible using Diablo 4 Gold.

How To Get Malignant Hearts?

Currently, you can farm Malignant Hearts in a number of ways. The first is to perform Grim Favors, which will give you some Malignant Hearts from Tree of Whispers caches. In addition, every Grotesque Debtor that spawns around Whispers and World Bosses has a chance to drop some Malignant Hearts.

When a Grotesque Debtor spawns, you will find a signal in the text bulletin at the top of the screen, which you can use to maximize your farming efficiency. Alternatively, you can find some Malignant Hearts in Helltide Chests, Infernal Hordes, or Nightmare Dungeons.

How To Defeat Echo Of Varshan?

Although Echo of Varshan is not the most challenging boss in the game, you still need to learn some combat skills and strategies before fighting it. Here are the things you need to pay attention to when fighting it.

Enhance Shadow Resistance

Before fighting, you need to know that Echo of Varshan will launch some arcane assaults on you, so you need to enhance some magical defenses accordingly. If you can’t reach 70% Shadow Resistance cap in your build, you can try to use Potent Elixir of Shadow Resistance to help you complete this defense build.

Pay Attention To Your Position Between You And Boss

During the battle, Echo of Varshan is very flexible and will appear near you unexpectedly and cause damage to you, so you need to pay attention to your position between you and the boss. The best position is to be behind Echo of Varshan so that its frontal attacks on you will not be effective.

Pay Attention To Some Void Zones

Besides arcane assaults, Echo of Varshan will also generate triangular void zones for you. These areas will adjust in real time according to the direction of the boss’s movement, and once you enter these areas, you will be very damaged. So you also need to pay attention to the direction of these areas.

Initial Elite Adds

During the battle, Echo of Varshan will also summon two powerful Elites to help it knock you down. At this point, you should focus on the two Elites, not the boss. Because they will also do a lot of damage to you and will cause your health to decline faster.

Echo Of Varshan’s Loot

When you use different classes, the loot you get from Echo of Varshan will also be different. You can refer to the following list for specific loot. However, it should be noted that not all Uniques will appear in a battle, but there is a chance to appear.

The same is true for Mythic Uniques dropped by Tormented Echo of Varshan. In the change of endgame bosses drop rate in Season 5, all Tormented variants of Boss have only 7.5% chance to drop Mythic Uniques. If your goal is only Mythic Uniques and the build is strong enough, you can directly challenge Tormented Echo of Varshan.

Barbarian: Fields of Crimson & 100,000 Steps & Gohr’s Devastating Grips & Ring of Red Furor

Druid: Mad Wolf’s Glee & Vasily’s Prayer & Greatstaff of the Crone & Airidah’s Inexorable Will

Necromancer: Bloodless Scream & Deathless Visage & Deathspeaker’s Pendant & Ring of the Sacrilegious Soul

Rogue: Condemnation & Eyes in the Dark & Skyhunter & Writhing Band of Trickery

The above is an introduction to some summoning methods, combat skills and loot for Echo of Varshan in Diablo 4 Season 5. Hopefully, this guide will make your battle with this boss easier. The next season and DLC for Diablo 4 will be announced soon. If you have any interest in them, you can discuss them in IGGM Discord. In addition, you can also participate in a lottery and have a chance to win some summoning materials needed for the boss. The list of winners will be announced on September 18th. Good luck!

Since its release, Diablo 4 has been a solid and enjoyable experience. The game has received multiple updates, and one of the biggest upcoming changes is the much-anticipated first DLC, Vessel of Hatred. The expansion promises to bring new content and challenges, from the upcoming Mephisto to the unprecedented new class Spiritborn, which heralds a new chapter for the game.

Diablo 4 2.0 Public Test Realm (PTR) has been open from September 4th to 11th, and its purpose is to conduct functional testing for the release of DLC and Season 6. After testing by many players, it was concluded that Vessel of Hatred needs significant improvements in multiplayer, which is currently one of the weaker aspects of Diablo 4.

In addition, one player has created a Diablo 4 hero that can defeat the most challenging boss with just one attack. Of course, with a glitch or two, this power level can be further increased to where the game refuses to calculate the result. Next, let’s inspect these issues in Vessel of Hatred.

Fail To Incentivize A Social Experience

Multiplayer is a clear weakness of Diablo 4. When comparing the experience of single-player and co-op players, the gap is quite significant. A whopping 85% of Diablo 4 players prefers single-player games. Given the event design included in the game and the support for co-op play, it is clear that the game development team wants to provide players with an interactive online experience.

However, it seems that not only is the game lacking incentives such as Diablo 4 Gold, but forming a team is also quite cumbersome. Although the game supports cross-platform play, which in theory should increase the player base that can team up, the actual cross-platform cooperative experience does not seem to have achieved the expected effect.

For example, when PC players try to communicate with console players without headphones, the fun of this social interaction is almost completely lost, and it is even worse than playing with NPCs. This problem seems to be particularly prominent in Diablo 4. With the upcoming expansion Vessel of Hatred, improving co-op should be a priority.

Major Quality Of Life Upgrade

Coming with Vessel of Hatred is a major quality of life upgrade that may solve the multiplayer dilemma.

With the upcoming Party Finder being one of the most promising updates. Finding a group to play with has been a frustrating issue in Diablo 4 for players who enjoy co-op play. Players are hoping that Party Finder feature will be a change that makes Diablo 4 a wonderful experience for both single-player and multiplayer fans. Diablo 4 still needs a variety of quality-of-life features, and Party Finder is a positive start.

Party Finder allows for a lot of customization. Instead of being matched with any open group, players can be very specific about their preferences, including specifying the type of group you want to join, choosing the game mode or activity you want to participate in, specifying a preferred play area, and setting preferences based on whether you are a casual player or a perfectionist.

Party Finder will be released with Vessel of Hatred, but it will be available to all players without having to spend money to get the expansion. As Diablo 4 continues to develop, Vessel of Hatred promises to bring new life to the game, and it will be exciting to see how Party Finder changes the game’s cooperative experience.

Infinite Damage Glitch

Diablo 4 is a game about dealing massive amounts of damage by swinging your weapon. However, one fan, through a good understanding of the game’s mechanics and careful character building, has created a Barbarian build on PTR that has a lot of power. With the help of a glitch or two, this power level can be further increased to where the game refuses to calculate the result.

This Barbarian build can turn damage numbers into infinity, a process that requires players to equip unique armor that increases the amount of damage Barbarian deals when hit, namely Thorn damage. Whirlwind ability triggers the glitch, which has the potential to break Diablo 4 and deal infinite damage.

Whether this infinite damage glitch will leave PTR is questionable. While the glitch is extremely difficult to implement and requires a lot of resources, if someone successfully exploits this glitch in Diablo 4, it could have a catastrophic impact on the entire game. The development team needs to fix it now with Vessel of Hatred on the horizon.

The community will probably come up with many convoluted ways to break the action-RPG before the release of Diablo 4’s first major expansion on October 8, and with the addition of items and an original character class in Vessel of Hatred, there should be more opportunities to create super-powerful builds.

We look forward to seeing how Diablo 4 continues to grow and brings more exciting experiences to players, and if you’re missing certain items or gear while exploring Diablo 4, you can follow Giveaway channel in IGGM discord and be more active in the discord group, which will post Diablo 4 product giveaway information from time to time.

Crackling Energy is generated by certain skills and is automatically released when an enemy approaches, providing the player with additional reaction damage and is ideal for increasing Lightning Elemental damage. However, for a Sorcerer that focuses primarily on Fire, Ice, or Hybrid elements, relying on Crackling Energy may not be the best strategy. Therefore, the player needs to decide whether to focus on accumulating the benefits of Crackling Energy, or ignore it completely.

A Lightning-based Sorcerer should consider using skills that benefit from Crackling Energy. For example, a Chain Lightning build that relies on critical strikes may benefit from this status effect. The main lightning attack is enough to defeat most powerful enemies, while Crackling Energy helps clear out the surrounding mobs. Players should treat any status effect as an additional bonus, rather than a primary resource in the game.

Crackling Energy Skills And Items

When exploring the wild, you need to actively attack enemies to generate Crackling Energy. At lower levels, using Crackling Energy against bosses is not very reliable. After higher levels, any form of attack can generate Crackling Energy. If an orb appears randomly, be sure to collect it. You can only hold up to 12 Crackling Energy orbs, and if you’ve tried to get 13th, you know that any orbs above that amount will be lost. But you can try to consume 12th orb to collect the remaining orbs.

To make a Sorcerer build focused on Crackling Energy, you’ll need to spend some time to get important equipment, such as Axial Conduit, Andariel’s Visage, and Ahavarion Spear of Lycander. But their damage effect is worth it. Of course, if you don’t want to waste time on getting these equipments, you can also choose to spend Diablo 4 Gold to get them, or you can also follow Giveaway channel in IGGM discord, where there are often a lot of product giveaway information. Remember to be active in discord group to not miss any free Diablo 4 Items.

Crackling Energy Generators

In Diablo 4, one of the best ways to generate Crackling Energy is through Spark in the skill tree. This Basic skill gives players a 14% chance to generate Crackling Energy when killing an enemy. Or use Flickering Spark skill, which is also a basic skill that allows you to generate Crackling Energy with a 4% chance when hitting an enemy and an 18% chance when killing an enemy.

If you want to increase the chance of obtaining Crackling Energy, you can use the core skill Destructive Chain Lightning, which will generate Crackling Energy with a 30% chance when you use chain lightning for Critical Striking.

In addition, there are two Mastery skills that can generate Crackling Energy when used. You can use Wizard’s Lightning Ball, and every time the enemy is hit by Ball Lightning four times, Crackling Energy will be generated. Or by using Static Discharge, any Lightning spell that causes critical strikes has a 6% chance to generate Crackling Energy. In short, players can generate Crackling Energy in Diablo 4 in a variety of ways. Improve the game experience and combat effect.

Crackling Energy Spenders

Diablo 4’s Crackling Energy-related skills and items include the following. Mystical Teleport can enhance Cracking Energy hits after Teleporting, and when you use Lightning Spear, absorbing Crackling Energy has a 10% chance to cast Lightning Spear for free. When using Summoned Lighting Spear, absorbing Crackling Energy can increase Lightning Spear’s damage to 160%.

Invigorating Conduit allows you to restore mana when absorbing Crackling Energy. However, to unlock and use this skill, you need to invest at least one skill point in Static Discharge. Supreme Unstable Currents is an Upgrade Sorcerer Skill. When it is activated, you quickly pulse Crackling Energy. In addition, every time the player equips Esadora’s Overflowing Cameo Unique Amulet, collecting Unique Amulet has a 15% chance to cast Lightning Nova for free.

Overflowing Energy is a Sorcerer Key Passive. Overflowing Energy causes Crackling Energy to hit 1 additional enemy. Hitting reduces Shock Skill cooldowns by 0.1 seconds (0.25 seconds for Elites).

Charged Aspect is a Legendary Boots in Diablo 4, it is a mobility enhancement for Sorcerer, increasing their movement speed for a short period after collecting Crackling Energy. This boost allows Sorcerer to quickly move across the battlefield, either chasing down enemies or escaping danger with greater ease. While the specific value of the movement speed buff will vary, it is undoubtedly a beneficial enhancement for players who value mobility in their build.

Therefore, when comparing all the skills related to Crackling Energy, you want to focus on Chain Lightning, Ball Lightning, and Lightning Spear. The first two quickly generate Crackling Energy, while the latter can be automatically cast by collecting dropped orbs. The reduced casting speed and free mana are also nice bonuses.

By balancing unique skill and equipment choices, players can maximize the potential of Crackling Energy in Diablo 4, whether it is improving output efficiency or increasing survivability. However, for Sorcerers who mainly focus on other elemental damage, it is crucial to reasonably evaluate the value of Crackling Energy and decide whether to invest resources. Ultimately, a successful build requires players to balance unique skill and equipment choices according to their personal play style and needs.

If you like to take down enemies in Diablo 4 in a fast and fierce way, then you will definitely like Twisting Blades Rogue build. In addition, this build is also one of the fastest builds you can make in Season of the Infernal Hordes, so Twisting Blades Rogue build is well worth your consideration.

This Twisting Blades Rogue build is focused on rushing straight into enemies on the battlefield and engaging in a very flashy fight with them, whether in leveling or endgame phase. If you choose the right items and skills for it according to the suggestions in this guide, you will definitely find the joy of fighting in this build!

It is important to note that this guide only covers the endgame build. You will need to complete the Of Lambs and Wolves quest to convert your leveling build into a proper endgame build. There are a lot of significant changes between the two builds that will affect how you handle endgame activities.

Active Skills

First, we will keep Twisting Blades, Shadow Step, Dash, and Poison Imbuement from the leveling build. Secondly, we will add new skills: Blade Shift, Dark Shroud, and Death Trap. Let’s take a look at each one.

Blade Shift is a replacement for Puncture, but it does not hinder your movement like Puncture does. Instead, it increases your movement speed. This will give you more flexibility and mobility in the endgame. Next, this Subterfuge Skill called Dark Shroud will also increase your movement speed and your Critical Strike Chance will also increase.

Finally, Death Trap is an Ultimate Skill that allows enemies to enter your set traps and detonate them. The amount of damage is unpredictable, and most importantly, when this skill successfully kills an enemy, its cooldown will be reduced by 12 seconds, which is very helpful when you kill some groups of enemies.

Passive Skills

Compared to Twisting Blades Rogue leveling build, more Passive Skills need to be added in the endgame build. The first point is Siphoning Strikes skill, which can turn Critical Strikes damage of enemies very close to you into healing elixirs, which will greatly increase your character’s survivability in the endgame.

There are also two skills, Deadly Venom and Alchemical Advantage, which can increase your Poison damage to the enemy and provide you with attack speed and Lucky Hit Chance enhancements.

Best Specialization

For the choice of Specialization, Twisting Blades Rogue endgame build still uses Combo Points Specialization from the leveling build. When you cast Blade Shift three times, you generate three combo points, which you can then unleash with Twisting Blades and deal amazing damage.

There is currently no replacement for Combo Points Specialization, as this Specialization allows you to run Nightmare Dungeons and The Pit in the endgame phase more easily to get the final Diablo 4 Gold reward.

Skill Rotation Suggestions

In Twisting Blades Rogue endgame build, you can rotate in the order of Poison, Imbuement, Shadow Step, Blade Shift x3, Twisting Blades, Dash, and finally Death Trap. Now let’s take a look at the specific reasons and rotation process.

First, Poison Imbuement will make your Shadow Step deal some extra damage, and then you can use 3 Blade Shifts to generate the combo points just mentioned. Then use Twisting Blades to release these combo points and perform a series of impaling blades on the enemy, which will also have Poison damage.

Then you can rush the enemy to increase your Critical Strike Chance. Finally, use Death Trap to make the ultimate attack on the enemy. This series of operations will definitely reduce the enemy’s health a lot, and your health will not be consumed.

Legendary Aspects

While you already have some great Legendary Aspects in your leveling build, the other Legendary Aspects in Sanctuary will make your Twisting Blades Rogue endgame build even more powerful. Here are Legendary Aspects you can choose from and what they do.

Aspect of Disobedience: Dealing any damage grants increased armor for a few seconds. This effect stacks.

Rapid Aspect: Increases attack speed of basic skills.

Aspect of Nebulous Brews: Healing potions give you increased movement speed for a few seconds, can be drunk when full, and produce a potion every 20 meters traveled.

Aspect of Volatile Shadows: When Dark Shroud’s shadow disappears it creates an explosion, dealing Shadow Damage and applying Shadow Inflict to each enemy hit.

Galvanized Slasher’s Aspect: When you damage an enemy with a Mobility Skill, maybe your Energy will be fully restored. Your maximum Energy is also increased.

That’s all for tips on skills and aspects on how to make your Twisting Blades Rogue endgame build stronger in Diablo 4 Season 5. Hopefully, you can win more boss encounters in the current season with this powerful build. If you’re interested in Diablo 4’s subsequent DLC and season, you can join the discussion in IGGM Discord. If you’re lucky enough, you may even win some Uber Boss summoning materials through a lucky draw. The winners will be announced on September 18, so good luck!

Recently, Diablo 4 S6 PTR is being explored and discovered by many players. Obviously, there are many new contents and gameplays in this PTR, including new Skills for each Class.

There are currently five Classes in Diablo 4, namely Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue, and Sorcerer. Although new Classes have been added to new PTR, there is no doubt that these five inherent Classes are still the main ones.

Among them, Rogue is one of the more popular Classes, and its new Skills in PTR are undoubtedly also curious about many players. In Diablo 4, Skills of each Class mainly include Active Skills and Passive Skills. Here, based on the various performances of Rogue in current PTR, we will mainly introduce you to Rogue’s new Active Skill.

New Active Skill: Dance Of Knives

Rogue’s new Active Skill in PTR is called Dance of Knives. As an Active Skill, it is also included in Rogue Class Skill Tree, is part of Agility Cluster, and belongs to Cutthroat Agility Skill. You can find and use it in the game through Icons in Skill Tree Menu.

In Diablo 4, you can upgrade Active Skills by consuming a certain amount of Skill Points. Starting from Rank 1, it can be upgraded to Rank 5. After effectively Enhance Dance of Knives, you can start upgrading it. After upgrading, you can get Methodical Dance of Knives or Disciplined Dance of Knives.

Note that you can only choose one of the two! So after upgrading, you need to choose the upgrade based on their characteristics and your own needs.

Methodical Dance of Knives means that when you stop Channel Dance of Knives, you can throw up to 12 Stun Grenades. Each Stun Grenades can cause 20% Weapon Damage to Enemies. However, the specific number of Stun Grenades thrown depends on the duration of your previous Channel Dance of Knives.

Disciplined Dance of Knives means that in combat, you can use Dance of Knives to cause 25% Slow to Enemies for 3 seconds, and each knife has a 20% chance to Pierce Enemy.

What Will You Gain When Channel Dance Of Knives?

In fact, Dance of Knives can help you move quickly and irregularly among many Enemies to confuse Enemies and make them unable to catch your movement trajectory. During this movement, you can also cause corresponding Damage to Enemies!

During use, Dance of Knives can have six Charges and a 1-second Charge Cooldown. If you make relevant optimizations, your Charge speed will be faster.

During combat, when you are Channeling this Skill, you can get a 20%+ Movement Speed ​​bonus and a 10%+ Dodge Chance. In terms of Damage, it can throw Knives at Enemies near you. Each knife can cause 42% Weapon Damage to Enemies hit.

In addition, Movement Speed ​​is also crucial for Dance of Knives Channel. During Channel Dance of Knives, you can get corresponding Charges for every 30 meters you move. This is actually an Enhancement for Dance of Knives.

Charges are essential for your effective Channel Dance of Knives. So in theory, if your Movement Speed ​​is kept fast enough, you can keep Channel Dance of Knives.

Try To Combine Dance Of Knives With Other Skills Or Items

The power of a combination is always better than fighting alone. In Diablo 4, there are other Rogue Skills and Diablo 4 Items that Rogues can use. Using them in conjunction with Dance of Knives may also bring you unexpected surprise effects.

For example, previous Rogue Skills in Diablo 4. When you equip Daggers and Poison Imbuement them, it will give you a certain Damage bonus in combat. This will undoubtedly make you feel more powerful when Channel Dance of Knives.

There is a hybrid Poison Imbuement that allows you to cause 75% Damage Boost to Enemies every time you Crit in combat, thus bringing a certain Enhancement.

And if you also have Imbuements Concealment Skill when Channel Dance of Knives, then every knife you throw will cause a Critical Strike to Enemies. So if you can combine Dance of Knives and Imbuements Concealment and use them, theoretically, as long as you keep doing this, you can even get unlimited Critical Strike in this way.

In addition, you can also combine Damage effect of Dance of Knives with the help provided by other Skills and wearable Armors in the game to form a richer gaming experience.

For example, in PTR Key Passive Skill Victimized has been Revamped as never before. On this basis, combined with Charge feature of Dance of Knives’ Movement Speed, an effective new Build is formed.

Through this Build, Dance of Knives’ high Attack Speed ​​and Lucky Hit Chances are Enhanced at the same time. This allows Build to fully utilize the advantages of Helmet called Heir of Perdition while maintaining high-intensity DPS. Thereby improving Procs played by Victimized. This means that you can form more effective Damage against Enemies in battle.

At this point, I believe you have a certain understanding of the features and usage of Dance of Knives. However, when you experience it in person, you will definitely get more unexpected gains.

As Diablo 4 Patch 2.0 PTR comes to an end, it’s no secret that every Diablo fan knows that big changes are coming to Vessel of Hatred DLC, which is set to release on October 8th. Here, we’ll talk about what’s happening to Barbarian in Patch 2.0 and give you an easy overview of what’s going to happen to your build and gameplay.

Patch 2.0 adds a new Active Skill, Key Passive, and four regular Passives to Barbarian, as well as a new Paragon Board. On Itemization side, we’re also getting new Uniques and Legendary Aspects.

General Changes

Before we get into the specifics of Barbarian, though, let’s talk about some of the big changes to the game itself.

First up, the max level has been dropped from 100 to 60, and once you reach this level, you’ll start earning Paragon Points, which can be used on any level 60 characters in your account. Not only does this mean you can earn Paragon Points while playing Barbarian, it also means you’ll have an extra 10 Skill Points to allocate to builds earned from level 51 to 60. That’s because there are 69 total Skill Points in Patch 2.0, up from 59 previously.

Additionally, to simplify the game and make the math easier for players, stats like Total Armor, Maximum Life, and Damage have been significantly reduced. Don’t worry, this won’t result in a nerf to your character, this is more of a backend change that’s reflected in the new numbers in your UI. Don’t panic if you find your weapon no longer does the same damage, it’ll still work just as well as before.

Finally, the difficulty system is changing in Diablo 4 DLC. Regular difficulty levels will be unlocked by leveling up your character, but Torment Difficulty Levels will need to be unlocked through an endgame activity called Pit of Artificers. This is a lot like Greater Rifts, with random dungeons and a boss at the end. This doesn’t really change how you play the game, it exists to allow players to more easily customize their preferred difficulty.

Skills Explained

Next, let’s move on to the specifics of Barbarian.

Active Skill

Let’s look at the skills first. Barbarian is given a new Active Skill called Mighty Throw, which causes your weapon to deal 60% weapon damage on impact and pierce the ground. Once on the ground, the weapon will begin Pulsating, dealing 15% weapon damage per second in a small area for 4 seconds.

Note that damage is only dealt on impact, and it takes about a second to activate even when used at melee range, so this may seem a bit slow the first time you use it. But multiple instances of this skill stack, so it synergies well with other Barbarian skills that can pull enemies together.

What’s more, Enhanced Mighty Throw increases your Attack Speed ​​by 25% when you use a Throw weapon. Once you’ve enhanced your Mighty Throw, you can also upgrade it, giving you the following effects depending on which upgrade you choose.

• Fighter’s Mighty Throw: Creates the opportunity to fight in a Pulsating area, sustaining yourself by creating a Barrier while dealing more damage with additional pulses.
• Warrior’s Mighty Throw: Allows you to permanently stun enemies, as you can use this skill continuously as long as you generate enough Fury.

Key Passive

In addition, they are introducing a new Key Passive called Barbed Carapace. Barbarian has a ton of active and passive skills that synergize with Thorns. And this Key Passive will open up the possibility for a lot of viable Thorns builds, as it can directly deal damage to close enemies without requiring you to take damage yourself.

Other Passive Skills

The other Passive Skills are simple in their role, and most are welcome additions that address some persistent issues with Barbarian’s build.

Belligerence increases your damage for 4 seconds after using a basic skill. Barbarian’s basic skills are unused in most situations, so they don’t contribute much to the build. However, using them could create some synergies, such as being able to combine with Lunging Strike or other skills to increase damage.

Heavy Hitter increases your ultimate damage. A 45% damage increase seems like a big buff to ultimates, but you still have to wait out their long cooldowns. It will benefit builds that use ultimates as finishers in combat the most.

Warpath increases your damage for 4 seconds after Overpowering. Overpowering mechanic is really interesting because you’re usually lacking damage between combo buildups, and this will give you a nice little boost to clear out any enemies while you prepare for your next powerful attack.

Finally, Irrepressible makes it so that when you cast Weapon Mastery skill, you Fortify yourself for maximum life. This is a passive option that quickly builds up Fortify with Weapon Mastery to really help make your build more efficient.

Skill Tree Changes

Barbarian’s skill tree has multiple buffs and nerfs. So if you’re a returning player, you might want to check what’s changed with your favorite skills and adjust your build based on those changes.

The latest patch makes changes to Frenzy and Ground Stomp. Frenzy’s Fury generation has been increased from 4 to 7, damage has been increased from 13% to 15%, and the enhanced version that previously generated 3 flat Furies now has 25% less Fury cost for the core skill. That’s a huge buff.

Combat Frenzy Upgrade, which previously gave you damage reduction per stack of Frenzy, will now provide slightly less damage reduction, but will also increase your movement speed, greatly improving mobility. Not only that, but Combat Frenzy Upgrade also increases attack speed by 1%, and the increase in mobility combined with the reduction in core skill cost could give Frenzy a spot in the best combo builds.

Looking at Ground Stomp, the base damage has been increased from 9.5% to 20%. But the more obvious change is Enhanced Ground Stomp, which now generates 60 Fury, which was previously the full effect of Tactical Ground Stomp Upgrade.

In addition to increasing the stun duration by 1 second, Tactical Ground Stomp Upgrade will now turn your Ground Stomp into a Brawling Skill that deals 800% more damage to bosses and leaves you vulnerable for 4 seconds. What’s more, their Tactical Ground Stomp Upgrade will now reduce the cooldown of their Ultimate by 4 seconds. This is insane!

Paragon Boards & Glyphs

Next up we’ll talk about what changes are coming to Barbarian’s Paragon Boards and Glyphs in Patch 2.0.

Players can now only equip five Paragon Boards at a time, including Basic Board, so you can’t just zip through a board like a ninja to complete a node and then quickly leave, but instead use your boards wisely.

But each class gets a new board, bringing the total from eight to nine, and some rare nodes have changed as well. On top of that, players can now earn a total of 300 Paragon Points, which should greatly increase the power of all builds.

Barbarian’s new Paragon Board is called Force Of Nature, and its Legendary Node is directly related to Ground Stomp, as it greatly enhances Earthquake you create by combining it with Earthquake Aspect.

As a reminder, Earthquake Aspect enhances Ground Stomp, which deals physical damage over 4 seconds and increases the damage you deal by 30% when you stand on it, thanks to the complementary changes to Ground Stomp. It will become a fantastic tool against bosses and elite enemies. In addition, it also deals a lot of AOE damage over time, increases your damage when fighting in an Earthquake, and can be used to trigger Berserking.

Overall, I think this board is a great addition to Barbarian Arsenal System, opening up more possibilities for us to try other builds.

In addition to this, Glyphs have also undergone major changes, and instead of improving through Glyph XP, they are now upgraded by completing different levels of Pit of Artificers and trying to improve them again at the end. Just like Diablo 3, the higher the level of your completed Pit, the greater the chance of improving your Glyph.

Glyphs can now also be upgraded to level 100, further expanding their power. However, the higher the level of Glyph, the more difficult it is to upgrade.

Uniques & Legendary Aspects

Next, we’ll look at Barbarian’s Uniques and Legendary Aspects. Remember that Codex of Power changed in Season 4 and now stores Legendary Aspects you’ve earned for a specific character. You can also use Codex of Power as many times as you want, as long as you have enough Diablo 4 Gold and materials.

If you haven’t played in a while, you should head to your Inventory as soon as you log back in, take out your saved items, and salvage other items at Blacksmith as soon as possible to unlock higher characters in Codex of Power and free up valuable inventory space.

This patch changes three Aspects. Among them, the damage of Aspect of Bul-Kathos and Earthquake Aspect has been increased by 30%, and the cooldown of Aspect of Giant Strides has been significantly reduced, from 2.5-5 seconds to 1.3-2.5 seconds per hit, and the maximum reduction time has been reduced from 9 to 7 seconds.

All in all, you can see that these changes are consistent with the improvements to Ground Stomp, so these Aspects are likely to be used in Ground Stomp builds.

The new unique item for Barbarian is called Ugly Bastard Helm, this helm looks great and is obviously aimed at Fury Barbarian builds.

What Do These Changes Mean For Barbarian?

So what does all this mean for Barbarian? I believe that most Barbarian enthusiasts enjoy the fun of destroying enemies with violence and just want to go all out and attack the enemy with their entire arsenal. Vessel of Hatred DLC will give us more tools to achieve this goal.

The new Mighty Throw skill and Ground Stomp will allow Barbarians to effectively deal with large groups of enemies, without having to rely on small precision finisher builds as before. Barbarian players who prefer face-to-face combat can now also legitimately use Thorns, instead of relying solely on enemy attacks. And the new changes to Paragon Board and the increase in available skill points will open up many new possibilities and viable Barbarian builds.

Anyway, this concludes our introduction to Barbarian changes in Diablo 4 Patch 2.0, which will be released with DLC update on October 8. We are very much looking forward to trying all of these changes, as well as the many new builds!

The feature to show or hide combat text in Diablo 4 Season 5 has received a pretty positive review among players. As the new season progresses, mountains of new changes have been added to Sanctuary, such as the introduction of new enemies and activities.

The game developers have also provided players with a series of quality-of-life options which are targeted to optimize game experience for Diablo 4 players. This article will expand the specific introduction of the updated features in Season 5 and the new combat-related quality-of-life features.

The Details Of Changes In Season 5

In Diablo 4 Season 5, disparate types of weapons are available for more classes, and weapon affixes have also been adjusted to better apply for players’ characters. These have been well received by the majority of players.

Based on previous feedback and strong requests from players, Season 5 has also made corresponding adjustments to the bosses summoning mechanism. As another new addition this season, the new tweaked feature makes it possible to summon bosses repeatedly rather than resetting a dungeon. Of course, some end-game bosses require summoning material to discover, such as Exquisite Blood, and you can get those materials by spending Diablo 4 Gold.

Moreover, Treasure Goblins has also got corresponding adjustments to make it a better event, together with additional changes covering endgame bosses and Helltides. All of those have demonstrated that this new season has made yet another quality-of-life change that has satisfied players.

Especially in the aspects of new combat text options, according to player feedback, they are allowed to show or hide seven types of combat-related text. For an instance, when your character deals normal or fatal damage to enemies, they can choose to show or hide control effects or defensive actions in a fight.

If players show a tendency to activate combat text option, they must open Gameplay tab, then scroll and click it.

Combat Text Option Has Received Positive Feedback

In previous games, players could only control the display of damage counters rather than to choose the specific one that they want to show and turn off the remaining ones. But with the returning of Diablo 4’s test server for season 5, the game developers added the combat text option and officially launched it. Some players even said that they reinstalled the game because of this feature.

While some players praised the combat text option, they also gave much emphasis on the introduction of DPS meter. Comments on this proposal began to polarize. Some players think that DPS meter will help optimize their builds and rotation, while other players who may not be enthusiastic about it hold the idea that this feature would open the door to toxicity, just like what happened in World of Warcraft. The developers did not respond positively to this.

The above is about the new combat text option that has received a lot of support from players and has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If you want to get more information, please enter IGGM discord. Not only is there real-time news, but you can also get rare items in the game for free in Giveaway channel, which can be obtained in the form of a lottery.
