Diablo 2: Double Throw Barbarian Guide

Each Diablo 4 class will have the most suitable or powerful builds in different seasons. Later, based on the class mechanism adjustment of the new season, these builds may be dormant for a few seasons, but maybe some of them will come in handy again, such as Stone Burst Druid Build! In the latest Diablo 4 Season 8, this build replaced the popular Lightning Storm or Shred in previous seasons and became one of the most effective Druid builds. It takes Stone Burst as the core and combines classic Druid skills such as Shred and Cataclysm to play a role. Based on this, we will mainly focus on skills, gear and new seasonal power boss power to introduce you to the best strategy to make Stone Burst Druid Build work in Season 8. Stone Burst Druid Build Overview In fact, the reason why this build can make a strong comeback in Season 8 is mainly because of the major improvements made to Aspect of Anticline Burst. When this aspect is channeled to maximum strength after the improvement, you can combine it with Stone Burst to deal more damage. Other skills to utilize include first closing the distance between you and the enemy with Shred and dealing continuous poison damage to them, and then combining Cataclysm and Mjölnic Ryng to deal continuous devastating damage. Don’t forget to let Two-Handed Mace charge Anticline Burst. If you want to complete higher levels of Torment with this build, you must obtain and match better gear for the build through combat or consuming Diablo 4 Gold, such as Shroud of False Death or Ring of Starless Skies. For a build suitable for Diablo 4 Season 8, the choice and combination of boss power is also important. Best Skills And Rotation As the name of the build suggests, the skill Stone Burst is your main source of damage output, so you can utilize it through channeling, continuous casting, or a combination of both, and combine it with Shred and Poison Creeper to output poison DOT effects. Then follow this order to optimize your skills: 1. Deal more damage with Debilitating Roar. 2. Utilize Cyclone Armor for pulling. 3. Improve Poison Creeper’s rooting effect and increase critical chance. 4. Utilize Stone Burst for damage. 5. Keep Cataclysm on cooldown. 6. Utilize Shred to attack enemies and apply poison DOT. If you want to make the above skills rotation more effective in combat, you can also utilize other mechanics to improve the effectiveness of the skills, including: Packleader Spirit Boon can reduce the cooldown of Poison Creeper. Calm Before The Storm and Calamity can extend Cataclysm’s duration and CDR. Advantageous Beast not only increases your movement speed and damage reduction, but can also be converted into Prickleskin or Wariness to bring some better Druid characteristics. Let Ring of Starless Skies provide more spirit generation. Best Gear In addition to the already mentioned Ring of Starless Skies, the other Mythic Uniques worth earning for this build are Shroud of False Death, which provides you with exclusive gear effects. Other gear and effects worth earning are summarized below: Integrating Aspect of Anticline Burst into Two-Handed Mace, combined with other existing unique items, allows you to utilize core skills and ultimate skills continuously. Vasily’s Prayer can count Stone Burst casts into Werebear skills, giving you Fortify effects, and fusion with Aspect of Retaliation on the amulet. Wildheart Hunger can increase the value of Bestial Rampage, which increases your attack speed and damage output. Mjölnic Ryng can continuously generate spirit for you while Cataclysm is in effect ensuring a steady damage output. In addition, you can add Runeword effect of LithXan + CemZec to your helmet to make overpower hits guaranteed to be critical. Or if you have the energy and time to do so, I suggest you complete the full set of gear according to the following table: Helm - Vasily’s Prayer Chest - Shroud of False Death Gloves - Aspect of the Changeling’s Debt Pants - Skinwalker’s Aspect Boots - Wildheart Hunger Amulet - Aspect of Retaliation Ring 1 - Ring of Starless Skies Ring 2 - Mjölnic Ryng Main Hand - Aspect of Anticline Burst Best Boss Powers As one of the biggest features of Season 8, if possible, it is worth it to equip all your builds with the right boss power to make the most of it. For Stone Burst Druid Build, the best boss power includes: Main - Andariel’s Flaming Skull: It not only increases your damage output, but also fits the style of this build. Modifier - Urivar’s Lobbed Bombs: Helps reduce the cooldown of Cataclysm. Modifier - Torusk’s Rage: Gives you more speed the more damage you deal to a controlled enemy. Modifier - Lord Zir’s Blood Pool: Improves this build’s effectiveness against powerful bosses. While there are a lot of boss powers available (each of the 24 bosses provides a main power and a modifier power), you can only equip one main power and three modifier powers in a single battle, so this is the only optimal boss power combination for this build. So there you have it, some tips on how to get the most out of Stone Burst Druid Build in Season 8. If you can master them, this build will continue to help you in the endgame! Fight hard!

Diablo 4’s Vessel of Hatred expansion has been released for a while, and many players have completed the storyline in DLC and experienced the fun of Spiritborn. However, the game did not stop because of a successful update. Instead, it is making final preparations for the upcoming Halloween event. According to official news, Diablo 4 will officially launch the “macabre celebration” Halloween event at 10 am Pacific Time on October 29, and it will last until the same time on November 5. During this period, all participating players will receive a series of limited-time free store items as rewards. In addition, a particularly noteworthy highlight is Butcher-exclusive “Meat or Treat” Dungeon Shrine modifier, which will also be available during this period. This means that players can explore more different game content through this interesting mechanism. For players who like Diablo 4 series and want to spend a Halloween holiday full of surprises and fun in the game, it is definitely worth logging in to the game during this period. Whether you want to collect rare items, accumulate Diablo 4 Gold, or just feel the festive atmosphere, the “macabre celebration” can meet your needs. Free Goodies Diablo 4’s Halloween event brings a series of exciting benefits to players, the most notable of which is that during the event, players can get free store items by simply logging into the game. This generous move can make every participant feel the sincerity of the development team and the importance of the player community. Specifically, starting from October 29, a new cosmetic item will be available in the store every day for players to receive for free. Each cosmetic item has a unique design. It should be noted that although Halloween event itself will last until November 5, the free cosmetic items will end on November 1. Besides the free cosmetics, Diablo 4’s Halloween event also includes the following free items: October 29: Recluse’s Host Mount October 30: Ichorflame Torch Mount Trophy October 31: Recluse’s Flask Mount Trophy November 1: Reclusive Trappings Mount Armor In Diablo 4’s Halloween event, October 29 marks the start of a series of unique and seasonal free mounts and loot for players to claim in the in-game store. First up is Recluse’s Host Mount, a uniquely designed zombie horse with a decayed flesh and empty eye sockets that perfectly fit the horror theme of Halloween, adding a festive touch to players’ rides through the vast world of Sanctuary. Then, on the next day, October 30, players can claim Ichorflame Torch Mount Trophy, a creative item featuring a large recluse spider with one side clasping a burning flame, adding a mysterious and powerful aura to the player’s character.

Also Read: Long-Term Diablo 4 Promotions & Giveaways - Real And Valid A Dungeon Modifier Diablo 4 also launched Butcher’s ‘Meat or Treat’ event during Halloween event. The essence of this event lies in its influence mechanism on Dungeon Shrines. When players activate any Dungeon Shrines during the event, they may trigger this special effect. Once activated, Shrines will show different “surprise” effects from the usual, which may include additional loot, enhanced attributes or other unexpected gains. However, although these surprise effects are tempting, they may also be accompanied by certain risks and challenges, which will have unpredictable negative effects on the operation of the dungeon. Therefore, for players who are eager to explore and experience this event, how to wisely choose when and where to activate the dungeon shrine during the event from October 29 to November 5 has become an important strategic consideration. Although Diablo 4’s Halloween event may not include a lot of substantial game content updates, it is worth being able to receive a few new cosmetic items for free during the holiday. In addition, regarding Butcher’s game of “Meat or Treat,” Diablo 4 development team has maintained a mysterious silence and has not clearly informed players of the specific advantages and disadvantages they will face after activating a Dungeon Shrine. Players need to explore and experience the event content in person after the event starts in order to discover the secrets and surprises. This may mean that activating a Dungeon Shrine after the event is officially launched may bring some unexpected benefits.

As a diverse class in Diablo 4 that can perform both ranged and melee attacks, Rogue is often overshadowed by high-damage classes such as Sorcerer or Necromancer, making it the choice of a few players. However, in the current Season of Hatred Rising, Rogue has been strengthened to enhance its mobility and survivability. However, you will face some different situations in Diablo 4, such as leveling content and endgame content, and you will need to choose a different build. Or if you want to gain more combat experience in PVP content, you also need to change to a new build to face different situations. So this guide will introduce you to the best build you should choose for Rogue based on the requirements in different content. This will help you to get into the game exploration faster and save some of the trial-and-error costs you spend on the build. Best Leveling Builds: Barrage Rogue First, during the leveling phase, when you need to level up quickly, Barrage Rogue is a splendid choice for clearing groups of enemies. It fires multiple arrows in a cone, which is great for clearing groups and close-range targets. Not only that, but the arrows will also bounce back, dealing a lot of damage to the remaining enemies. Also, Barrage Rogue build is extremely mobile, so this build allows you to have both high damage and high survivability, especially if you infuse it with Shadow Imbuement, which will help you recover and cast extra burst damage. Alternatively, you can choose to inject ‍Poison Imbuement, as it adds additional poison damage to enemies, which can be very helpful when dealing with some of the larger, tougher monsters with higher health. If you want Barrage Rogue build to be a very strong melee build, then Flurry and Twisting Blades may be your first choice. But you need to be aware that Rogue is not very good in the melee, so you may need to use more Diablo 4 Gold in this build to make your character more defensive. Best Endgame Builds: Dance Of Knives Rogue Once you reach level 60 and unlock Paragon Board, you can switch the build you were using during the leveling phase to one that is suitable for the endgame content. Since the boss difficulty and exploration difficulty in the endgame content are much more difficult than the leveling phase, the requirements for the build will be more stringent. The first thing to focus on is the damageability of the build, so Dance of Knives, which was added in Season 6, is your best helper because it can throw knives at enemies at a constant speed. Most importantly, the attack speed does not affect the speed of your throwing knives, but increases the base damage of your throwing knives. Once you have enough movement speed, you are basically a perpetual motion machine. Once you have enough movement speed, you’re basically a perpetual motion machine - you can keep defeating enemies and then keep picking up Diablo 4 Gold that they drop. Then there is the defense ability, so you can use Dark Shroud as your main defense skill to better protect you with the protective shadows it creates every time you take damage. And Dark Shroud also provides you with some very important attack speed gains. Like Barrage Rogue build, you can also infuse Shadow Imbuement to give it super strong AOE damage, but for a single boss, you can use Cold Imbuement, as this makes the boss take cold damage and move slower. Best PVP Builds: Rapid Fire Rogue In PVP, your build is all about how to defeat the other player quickly with minimal strategy, so Rapid Fire Rogue build will help you a lot. In this build, the high burst damage arrows fired by Rapid Fire can easily make it easy to stand in a safe area and deal damage to a single target. Besides Rapid Fire skill, you can also add Precision to your passive skills. This way, after consuming the maximum stack of Precision, you will gain a special move - your Critical Strike Damage will be greatly increased. It is worth mentioning that Barrage Rogue build used in the leveling stage is also very suitable for PVP mode, but if you want to perform more like an assassin in this mode, you will definitely like Shadow Step Rogue build. This Shadow Step Rogue build emphasizes mobility and burst damage. It will let you use Shadow Step to attack enemies from behind. But unfortunately, since the cooldown time of this skill is too long, it is better to place some items that can reduce the cooldown time in your construction before you use it. As a build that uses poison damage and fast attacks to make the enemy vulnerable, Andariel’s Rogue is also very suitable for you to use in PVP mode because it has high mobility and continuous damage output. But the reason it is not the best build is that you need to spend a lot of time and Diablo 4 Gold to get Andariel’s Visage or Andariel’s Visage Aspect to make this build most effective, because these two items are very important for the buff of Poison Novas. The above is the best build you can choose for Rogue, the buried Class, according to different requirements in Diablo 4 Season 6. We sincerely hope that Rogue will perform better in this season, because this Class is very friendly to some novice players. If you have questions about the build in this new season, you are welcome to come to iGMeet Discord to ask questions or communicate with other players. I believe you will definitely find your favorite answer here. Not only that, you can also participate in a lottery event here, in which there will be some summoning materials required by bosses, such as Andariel Materials and Exquisite Blood. The winners will be announced on October 28. Good luck!

Strongholds have returned to Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred and are still exactly the same as you would expect. There are three Strongholds spread across Nahantu. Strongholds were a feature introduced when Diablo 4 first launched. Once these small dungeons are completed, they permanently change the map. After clearing all enemies, you will not only gain 100 reputation, but also unlock further waypoints, side quests, or dungeons. This guide will introduce the three Strongholds in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred. Chakhir Chakhir is located to the west of Seven Stones. The main quest for this Stronghold is to clear the slag and discover the source of the poisonous magic that enhances it. First, you need to find all the brewing cauldrons and destroy them. Some cauldrons will be protected by enemies called Cauldron Keepers, which you will need to kill to remove the protective barrier before you can destroy the cauldron. Additionally, you will come across some cauldrons that can only be destroyed after removing Befouled Briars. After dealing with all the cauldrons, head to the middle area of ​​Stronghold and prepare to engage Darm. Be sure to watch out for the flowers on the ground during the fight, as standing on them will cause them to explode. After defeating Darm, go into the middle room and destroy the four Falo Blooms to summon Sinerat and Skerg. Watch out for the flames and exploding flowers on the ground when dealing with these two bosses. Once both bosses are defeated, go to Wanderer’s Shrine and interact with them. After completing Chakhir, you will be rewarded with 100 Renown and some Diablo 4 Gold. Kichuk Kichuk is located on the northeastern edge of Teganze Plateau. This Stronghold mission is to clear out Lacuni that is attacking Kichuk. Besides dealing with Lacuni as you encounter them, your first task is to free the villagers from their cages. Once all the villagers are rescued, reunite with the survivors and then fight off the wave of Lacuni attacks. To prevent the village from further invasion, you need to go through the caves and destroy the pillars. As you destroy the pillars, more powerful lacuni will attack you. Once you have destroyed all the pillars in the cave, you need to run back to the entrance as quickly as possible before the timer runs out. If you don’t escape in the allotted time, you will be damaged by a large amount of falling rocks. Once you return to the village, head to the circled location on the mini-map to find the leader of this Stronghold, Kirma. When attacking it, you need to pay special attention to two things. When you deal enough damage, it will transform and restore all health. In addition, Kirma will disappear and reappear periodically. To make it easier to defeat Kirma, you can follow Giveaway channel on iGMeet discord for information about Diablo 4 related products and stay active in the discord group. After completing Kichuk, you will not only receive 100 Renown as a reward, but also unlock a waypoint. After defeating the boss, you can go to the shrine. Festering Dark Compared to the other two Strongholds, Festering Dark is more complicated because of its unique mechanics. The goal of this level is to bring lanterns to braziers throughout Stronghold and light them. Festering Dark is located in the southern part of Restless Canopy, and only one of the two entrances will be available until you complete Strongholds. Once inside, you’ll see a lantern on the ground. If you accidentally lose your lantern later on the mission, you can regain it by activating a rune. While you’re holding the lantern, you won’t be able to attack. Pressing any button will cause the lantern to fall to the ground each time you’re attacked, and you can pick it up again after the fight. Each time you light a brazier, the lamp will begin to move automatically. You’ll need to follow it as it leads you to and destroy some obstacles, then continue on to find more braziers. As you light more braziers, more areas of Stronghold will gradually open up. When you successfully light enough braziers, Vesicator will appear, but this mini-boss doesn’t have particularly dangerous attacks. Eventually, you’ll enter a new area called Gates of the Necropolis. After lighting the braziers in this area, be prepared for a fight with Maleficium. During the fight with Maleficium, the giant red circle that appears on the ground and the lines that form on the battlefield will cause a lot of damage, and Maleficium will only be damaged when it is in the light. There are five lit braziers in the game, giving players some room to maneuver. However, when Maleficium’s health drops below 50%, it will extinguish all braziers and become completely invincible. At this time, the player needs to quickly run under the lamp, find a brazier that is not covered by dark energy and light it. Then, continue to attack the boss after it enters the light. Finally, eliminate the remaining health of Maleficium and use the shrine to clear Stronghold. After completing Festering Dark, you will receive 100 Renown, unlock Betrayed Tomb dungeon and Gates of the Necropolis Waypoint. Hopefully, the above content will help you better deal with these challenges. Good luck!
