Diablo 2: Lightning Strike Amazon Guide

With the official release date of Diablo 4 Season 9 fast approaching, many players have already started thinking about the builds they will use in the new season through the previous S9 PTR and feedback from the player community. Although the developers may change some of the attributes and statistics before the official entry of the new season, overall, Spiritborn build that was suppressed in previous seasons may emerge as a new force. Ever since Spiritborn came to the base game with Vessel of Hatred expansion, the developers haven’t stopped holding it back. However, under the whims of players, Quill Volley Spiritborn has still become one of the most DPS potential builds. However, with the addition of Horadric Spells in Season 9 and the new unique Spiritborn has, Spiritborn build that focuses on the two damage types of Poison and Thorns has become the focus of players. This guide will introduce you to Poison Thorns Spiritborn build and some precautions during the battle based on the information currently in PTR and the information that has been released. If you are interested, read on. Poison Thorns Spiritborn Build Details Compared to Poison Thorns Spiritborn build that players have used in previous seasons, there are no major changes in the skill rotation. Just add Balazan’s Maxtlatl pants and new Horadric spells added in Season 9 to your item selection. Next, here are them one by one. Skill Selection When using Poison Thorns Spiritborn build, your skill rotation is to use skills such as Vortex to close the distance between you and the enemy, and use skills such as Scourge and Toxic Skin to poison the enemy when they start to attack you. At the same time, you can deal continuous damage to them with the help of gear that can provide you with super high Thorns damage. However, it is worth reminding you that since your build is not good at melee attacks, you can spend some Diablo 4 Gold before fighting to improve your defense or equip skills such as Armored Hide to reduce the damage you take. For Spirit Guardians, you can set Gorilla Spirit Guardian as both primary and secondary options so that you can deal more Thorns damage to enemies. The specific effects of the skills you can select are as follows: Vortex: You create a cyclone which can pull enemies inwards, followed by a crushing downdraft that deals 35% damage to enemies. Toxic Skin: Poisons enemies who attack you, dealing 36% damage for 3 seconds for Passive. Inflicts Poison on you as a trace and makes you Unhindered for 5 seconds for Active. Armored Hide: Gain 1 Resolve every 5 seconds for Passive. You are Unstoppable and have a 100% Block Chance for 3 seconds for Active. The Hunter: Rushing across the battlefield with Jaguar Spirit, he deals 50% damage on landing, then rapidly slashes enemies in the area with seven attacks, dealing a total of 200% damage. Scourge: Summons a wave of insects that bite enemies, fearing them for 3 seconds, slowing their movement speed, and inflicting 100% Poison Damage over 6 seconds. Rock Splitter: Lunge towards the target, crushing enemies in front of the player, dealing 20 damage. And the third attack hits enemies around you, dealing 38 damage. New Unique Balazan’s Maxtlatl pants, exclusive to Spiritborn in Diablo 4 Season 9, will let you deal 200-300% Thorns damage and 100% Poison damage every time you hit an enemy in melee range, which is completely tailor made for Poison Thorns build. Not only that, but after you deal retaliatory Thorns damage, your Poison damage will be increased to 300% for 5 seconds. If you combine this with Razorplate chest piece and Wound Drinker ring, which are already in this build, you have a deadly amount of Thorns and Poison damage. Horadric Spells In addition to the new Unique that gives you a boost in Thorns and Poison damage, Horadric Spells added in D4 S9 also have some spell options that are very suitable for placement in this build. For example, you can use Disintegrate Catalyst to deal direct damage to enemies near you, and use Corrosive Vapor Infusion to convert this damage into Thorns and Poison damage, and use Jagged Bramble Arcana to give you more Lucky Hit Chance, making your combat ability stronger. These are some skills, items, and Horadric Spells options you can choose for your Poison Thorns Spiritborn build in Diablo 4 Season 9 Sins of the Horadrim, which is officially released on July 1. As for the passive skills you need to activate and other gear options, we will keep an eye out for them after the new season is officially launched and bring you corresponding guides in a timely manner. However, it is worth reminding you that the developers still have no intention of adding Spiritborn to the base game, so if you want to experience the power of this build but don’t have Vessel of Hatred DLC, this season may be the best time for you to try it, because the next expansion will not be released until 2026 at the earliest. I wish you a happy game!

The exciting Diablo 4 Season 8 is finally here! To be honest, this season has changed a lot compared to the previous ones. On the one hand, they have increased the difficulty of the game, especially the difficulty of challenges such as Penitent Difficulty has been greatly increased; on the other hand, XP rewards in the new season have been slightly weakened compared to Season 7. In Season 6, it took players an average of 15 to 17 hours to reach level 60, while Season 7 took 9 hours, basically half of the former. The progress of Season 8 will be between the two, taking about 10 hours. Therefore, we want to know how to maximize the leveling speed and how to maximize the player’s combat power to break through the higher level Torment. Preparation So, let’s start from the beginning. Here are some things you need to do before you really start leveling. First, you need to create a character and make sure to choose to skip the campaign. Then, we can jump directly into the leveling stage. It is recommended that you start with Normal difficulty first, although Normal rewards fewer XP than higher difficulties like Hard or Expert. However, the increase in difficulty and the significantly increased time required to kill each enemy is not really worth it. If you luck out and get some incredible drops during your leveling process and end up with a very powerful build earlier than you expected, you may be able to choose Hard level, depending on how things go after you enter the game. In addition to this, you can also visit Pet tab and equip a pet to run around and pick up Diablo 4 Gold and materials for you, saving you time. It is worth noting that before you continue to advance any content, you need to talk to your Mercenaries immediately, unlock and equip one. This way, you have a companion to help you as you progress. Levels 1 To 15 Now, let’s talk about how to start actually leveling up in Kyovashad. You actually need to start Raising Spirits Side Quest by talking to a guard on the north side of town. Within seconds, you will be cheering next to the guard and handing in the quest. This will give you a bunch of herbs, which saves you the time of having to collect them in the world yourself. However, Elixirs currently for sale in iGMeet do the same thing, allowing you to skip the time of gathering these materials. Now, when you are ready, you will have a bunch of herbs to make Elixirs, which will increase your XP gain by 5% for the entire duration. Otherwise, we will follow the opening quest of the new season questline, which can also be found by the new NPC in Kyovashad. We will advance to a certain stage until you make your first bottle of Tier 1 Elixir after reaching level 10. Then from then on, Elixir is always effective. Remember, Elixir comes in two levels: basic and advanced. Basic elixirs increase your XP gain by 5%, while advanced elixirs increase your XP gain by 8%, but this is not available until level 50. So once you reach level 50, you can start making and using these elixirs. But before that, you can’t use them. If you are wondering what elixirs you should make ahead of time, please note that the quantity does not really matter, because different classes and builds have different requirements for elixirs. Also, another very important aspect of this season is the new Season Journey, which has changed drastically because Season Blessings have been moved to Season Journey. Previously, they were in the Battle Pass, and you needed to play the game to win Favors, and eventually you could get Season Blessings to increase XP. But now you can get or enhance other season rewards, all of which are in Season Journey. So Season 8 wants you to pay more attention to your Season Journey and complete it as soon as possible, because every time you have a chance to complete any of these goals, the rewards will be more generous, which will make your character better in the long run. On the other hand, the new Battle Pass is not as important in terms of equipment and character development. You can choose your rewards and develop them in a different order, but it is not important for character leveling. Levels 15 To 50 But you don’t have to worry too much, because since you reach level 15, class quests are no longer a problem. Just like we encountered since Season 7, you don’t actually need to do them anymore. Once you hit level 15, you’ll automatically unlock the passives, assuming you’ve done the class quest before. Then you just need to make sure to open your class passives page, like checking your Book of the Dead or something, to activate those new skills that just opened up. Technically, you can still complete the class quest again, and you’ll be rewarded with a special chest that gives you some specific items to help you complete your builds. This is great, but will it be worth spending more time completing them when you understand the actual power of these gear in higher-level content? Probably not at this time. Now that you have a basic build configuration and your class passives unlocked, it’s time to increase the difficulty level to increase your XP drop rate. Remember, you can only do this if you kill all enemies effortlessly, if it takes you several seconds to kill anything, then maybe adjusting the difficulty too high is not a good thing for you. Next, we can just continue with the seasonal quest line, focusing on Apparition Incursions as much as possible. If you want to maintain a consistent and efficient XP farming rhythm, then replace it with Helltide events when the limited-time Incursions are not available, where there will be a lot of high-quality resources. Levels 50 To 60 We need to do this until level 50, and then clean up Strongholds on Normal difficulty as usual. Since these Strongholds will provide the same XP as the final reward no matter what difficulty you are in, there is no need to choose a harder difficulty. You might as well choose Normal difficulty so that you can maximize your time. Note that you need to move back and forth between all Strongholds on the map during this period, which will help you maximize the efficiency of farming XP. In addition to the most difficult Strongholds, you can also continue to do Apparition Incursions and Helltide. But I still want to emphasize the value of dungeon XP farming. Because if you find Tributes with relevant perks during the leveling process, it will become an important source of Masterworking materials, crafting materials, and specific equipment drops, which can greatly improve your leveling efficiency. When you are almost at level 60, or at level 60, it’s time to prepare for Torment 1. You need to change the difficulty to Penitent and upgrade your equipment. It’s time to prepare for the endgame! Anyway, this is my overview of how to effectively and efficiently advance your character leveling progress in Diablo 4 Season 8. But reaching the level cap does not mean the end of the challenge. On the contrary, it is the signal that the game is fully started and you can freely enjoy all the features and mechanics and start your adventure in the dangerous time of Sanctuary.

Each class is equipped with a unique skill tree, allowing you to freely pick and match skills to suit your play style. This guide takes a thorough analysis into Necromancer, Rogue, Sorcerer, Barbarian, and Druid to help you choose the best class based on your play style. Necromancer–Best Class Overall The primary resource of a Necromancer is Essence, a resource that can be slowly restored over time or quickly accumulated using basic skills, and is used to cast powerful spells. The secondary resource of a Necromancer is Corpses, the remains of fallen enemies on the field. These corpses can be used in a variety of ways in the hands of a Necromancer, from manipulating them into skeleton minions to setting deadly traps for enemies using skills such as Corpse Explosion. Necromancers can equip a wide variety of weapons, including swords, daggers, and wands, and they also have a unique scythe that is only available to this class. Necromancer has been carefully built for Diablo 4, focusing on devastating enemy groups with a devastating Bone Spear build. After creating numerous corpses with Bone Spear, they can temporarily revive the killed enemies with Corpse Explosion, causing AoE damage to all nearby enemies. Barbarian–Best DPS Class Barbarian is known for its extremely high health and strength. His attacks in combat will accumulate Fury, which can be used to unleash a series of powerful Fury skills. The newly introduced Arsenal System brings more variety to Barbarian, with four weapon slots, allowing players to mix and match one-handed and two-handed weapons, opening up the possibility of carrying four legendary weapons at the same time. Each Fury skill automatically matches and uses the corresponding weapon to ensure smooth combat. Barbarian build is centered on the use of Hammer of the Ancients, making it easy to crush nearby enemies and collect Diablo 4 Gold drops. This build excels in solo or team fights, with excellent survivability thanks to Iron Skin and Tactical Iron Skin, which effectively reduce damage taken and provides self-healing capabilities during combat. Sorcerer–Best Ranged Class With its mastery of lightning, fire, and frost, Sorcerer is a key player on any team aiming to defeat the toughest enemies. However, Sorcerer has lower health than Barbarian and Druid. Sorcerer passively regenerates mana, and one of her Minor Destruction skills is dedicated to generating mana. Once Sorcerer reaches max level, she can unleash powerful ultimate skills that deal huge amounts of damage, potentially completely changing the tide of battle. While Sorcerer is not dominant in solo play, she can definitely play a devastating role in team play. Sorcerer build focuses on using lightning spells to tear through enemies from a distance. The advantage of this build is that you can deal massive damage to enemies without having to get close to them. Although you may eventually encounter enemies that are resistant to lightning attacks, you can still maintain efficient output by strengthening Arc Lash and a deadly ultimate attack. Rogue–Best Class For Crowd Control Rogues can attack from a distance and engage in melee combat, and can choose to equip the corresponding skills as needed. Melee-style Rogues can wield swords and daggers, while those who prefer ranged combat can equip bows and crossbows to fire arrows and bolts at enemies. Rogues have a number of special class tasks, which are scattered throughout Sanctuary. Rogues have three class specializations: Combo Points, Shadow Realm, and Exploit Weakness. Among them, Shadow Realm allows melee-style Rogues to lure enemies into a dark void, and enemies outside the void will temporarily disappear, so that Rogues can prioritize eliminating enemies in the space in a safe environment. Exploit Weakness specialization displays icons on enemies, providing opportunities for quick defeat. Combo Points specialization allows Rogue to accumulate points to unleash more powerful skills. Rogue can also combine three imbue effects with any attack or skill to enhance its imbue effects, such as a ranged Rogue can combine Rain of Arrows with Frost Imbue effect to freeze the battlefield. Rogue build is a versatile character that can attack from both range and close range. Penetrating Shot build focuses on weakening enemy minions with Smoke Grenade and Caltrops and then uses Puncture skill to accumulate combo points. Once enough combo points are accumulated, Penetrating Shot can be used to perform heavy attacks, while Dash and Concealment can be used to gain movement-based damage bonuses. Druid–Best Class For Buffs Druid can transform into a ferocious werebear or a terrifying werewolf to attack. No matter which form Druid is in, he is always accompanied by two wolf companions. Druid can also manipulate elements in human form. Druid can focus entirely on shapeshifting mechanic. Compared to Barbarian and Sorcerer, Druid is better at fighting powerful single targets and multiple enemies at the same time than Sorcerer and Druid. Druid builds are mainly centered on Landslide skill, which summons earth pillars to crush enemies. You can become faster and stronger through Druid’s Werebear. If the enemy can still stand after being hit by Trample and Landslide, activate Hurricane to trap them all and repeat the previous skill cycle. Each class has its own unique features, and the best choice is the one that allows you to enjoy the game and play your play style.

While Rogue is a brand new class in Diablo 4, some people consider it somewhat similar to the previous agility class, Demon Hunter. They share some commonalities from previous games in the series. However, unlike Demon Hunter, Rogue has the option of using melee attacks instead of just ranged attacks. In addition, this class no longer relies on mana meters because of the introduction of energy-based skills. Nevertheless, many players who like to play Demon Hunter can still reassign skills and abilities to their Rogue to create a subclass with a unique experience. Therefore, this article will introduce the five best Rogue builds you can try in Diablo 4 Season 5. 1) Barrage Rogue Barrage Rogue was already excellent in Diablo 4 Season 4, and this advantage is still maintained in Season 5. Players should use Puncture to build Combo Points and use Barrage as the main attack skill. In previous Seasons, Cold Imbuement or Poison Imbuement were optional skills, but given Poison buffs Rogue received in Season 5, it is recommended that players choose Poison Imbuement, which may greatly improve the efficiency of players in earning Diablo 4 Gold in the game. To increase combat efficiency, use a combination of Caltrops to reposition or slow down the movement of enemies, while using Shadow Step to quickly evacuate in critical situations and deal critical blows in melee range. What makes this build attractive is its ability to smoothly switch between melee and retreat while using the powerful output of Barrage to defeat enemies. Although this build is mainly an AOE class and may not be as efficient as other types against bosses, in Season 5, its performance against bosses has been significantly improved because of the addition of Poison Imbuement. 2) Rapid Fire Rogue Rapid Fire Rogue was one of the effective strategies for traversing The Pit in Season 4, and it looks like it will continue to be one of the strongest builds for Rogue in Season 5 of Diablo 4. Unlike Barrage, Rapid Fire fires a volley of arrows in front of Rogue, which has less AoE but is more focused and powerful, making it very useful for quickly clearing and collecting Diablo 4 Gold on the map. It relies on Heartseeker skill to build combo points, and may continue to do so in Season 5. In addition, players will need to utilize Shadow Step, Caltrops, and Dash to move flexibly. In terms of the choice between Cold Imbuementor and Poison Imbuement, while Cold Imbuementor is still effective, Poison Imbuement is a more suitable option for players because it is a more challenging gameplay and does require players to play at long range like a sniper. 3) Penetrating Shot Rogue Penetrating Shot Rogue is very fun to play when you line up enemies correctly, and this fun has been significantly improved in patch 1.5.0 and has become easier. Penetrating Shot now deals 10% more damage per pierced enemy and has a 25% chance to fire an extra arrow for free when hitting a boss or elites. To make the most of this buff, use Trickshot Aspect to get more free arrows, and Puncture to accumulate Combo Points and Slow/Vulnerable enemies. Meanwhile, combining Dash, Shadow Step, and Caltrops will provide flexible mobility. Poison Imbuement seems more beneficial than Cold considering the buffs. With the ability to effectively manipulate enemy alignment, this build is expected to become a strong contender for the best build for Rogues in Diablo 4 Season 5. 4) Andariel Rogue Andariel Rogue offers a unique gameplay experience in Diablo 4. This build is relatively complex as it relies on Mythics/Unique Mythics, including Andariel’s Visage, Fists of Fate, and the new Umbracrux. Until these items are collected, it can basically be considered a Barrage build. In order to maximize the effectiveness of Andariel, you need to have +30% Lucky Hit Chance and increase the duration of Poison Imbuement by three times through tempering. While it is still possible to attempt this build without these specific items, its effectiveness and efficiency will be greatly reduced. Fortunately, the core gameplay of the build is quite simple, relying mainly on Barrage with Poison Imbuement to output as much damage as possible. Players should use damage to tag enemies, and then move on to find the best time to utilize poison nova procs. The actual rotation of this build contains many details, but it is definitely worth trying if you can gather all the necessary equipment. 5) Twisting Blades Rogue Twisting Blades Rogue is a very interesting choice in Diablo 4 Season 5, especially for Mapping/Speedfarming. However, it performs slightly worse than other builds when fighting against bosses, The Pit, and other difficult content of the game, but the difference is not significant. In this build, players should use Puncture to build Combo Points, while also taking advantage of Vulnerable, and then use Twisting Blades as the primary means of damage output. In the initial stage, players need to focus on Punctures first, but as they become familiar with the skills, they will be able to seamlessly switch between Punctures and Twisting Blades. Poison Imbuement performs well in this build, significantly increasing damage output, which is exactly what players need. Dash, Shadowstep, and Caltrops, players will have an efficient map clearing build. In short, Diablo 4 Season 5 brings a series of interesting build choices to Rogue, which not only adapts to the latest game balance adjustments but also provides players with a diverse gaming experience. As the game develops, we look forward to seeing more innovative and adaptable builds emerge, bringing endless fun and challenges to Diablo 4 players.
