Diablo 4 Season 1 Leveling Tier List - The Best Leveling Builds for All Classes in D4

As early as when Diablo 4 developers announced the 2025 roadmap, the mysterious crossover of Season 8 made people excited. When they finally announced that they would cooperate with Berserk, it surprised and expected players. Many players are speculating on what form this IP cooperation will take? However, the crossover content of Diablo 4 and Berserk is very disappointing. There is no new story line, no carefully made event content, and there are only a lot of new appearances that are used to induce players to consume. Berserk Many players of Diablo 4 may not have read this manga. Berserk is a manga created by the late Japanese manga artist Kentaro Miura, with the black swordsman Guts as the protagonist. The background of this story is also full of monsters, violence, blood and betrayal. Guts obtained Brand of Sacrifice after being betrayed by Griffith. He needs to be on guard against the endless monsters chasing him at all times. And this man who wields Dragon Slayer sword to kill monsters has almost become synonymous with Berserker. This dark fantasy work has many similarities with Diablo 4, but it is a pity that Diablo 4 does not seem to make good use of these elements. Berserk Crossover Update Content In-game event (until June 3 at 10 AM PT) Defeat elite monsters to earn Behelits, which can be exchanged for cosmetic rewards at Berserk Reliquary: Hawks Destiny Back Trophy Skull Knight’s Heraldry Mount Armor Brand of Sacrifice Marking Foretold Eclipse Headstone Od of Berserker Emblem (automatically claimed after unlocking the above rewards) Cash shop bundles (until June 5 at 12 PM PT) Barbarian Berserker Armor (2800 Platinum) Rogue Struggler (2800 Platinum) Hawk of Light (2800 Platinum) Necromancer Skull Knight (2800 Platinum) Schnoz Pet Bundle (2800 Platinum) Schnoz Pet Mask Rakshas Mount Trophy Chimimoryo’s Resemblance Emblem Warhorse of Light Mount Bundle (2800 Platinum) Fantasia Mount Fantasia’s Bridle Reborn Band of the Hawk Mount Trophy God Hand’s Gift Mount Trophy Behelits are the new currency during this IP collaboration. Elite enemies can drop Behelits besides Diablo 4 Gold. You need about 400 Behelits to unlock all the free appearances, but you won’t experience any additional plots, just mechanically farming monsters. As your level gets higher, you will encounter more elite enemies, so getting all the rewards doesn’t waste too much time, but the process is not fun at all. Another point that makes players feel unhappy is that this time, all the appearances that players want are not free. Including Guts’s Berserker Armor, Griffith’s classic Hawk of Light Armor and his mount. Although these skins and others are all 2800 Platinum, Platinum requires players to exchange for dollars, not gold. Unlocking all the cosmetics in this crossover takes about $150, which is twice the value of Vessel of Hatred. In addition, the developers set all the appearances to be limited-time, which makes players who like these appearances feel anxious and ultimately impulse purchases. This IP cooperation method is not only disrespectful to Berserk, but also reflects that the production team of Diablo 4 is not attentive to this crossover and lacks creativity. Diablo Immortal’s Berserk Crossover It is somewhat ironic that Diablo Immortal also gets the opportunity to cooperate with Berserk, but does better than Diablo 4. As a mobile game, its cooperation content is obviously more attentive and interesting than Diablo 4. Players can even participate in the most brutal battle in Berserk, Eclipse, in Diablo Immortal, and survive it like Guts. Diablo Immortal even added a boss fight with the undead Nosferatu Zodd for this collaboration, which is definitely something that fans can cheer about. Diablo 4 could have done something similar. Players could have earned a Brand of Sacrifice during the event, which would have allowed a steady stream of monsters to appear from all over and attack players. Or recreate one or two classic battles from the comics. And what did Diablo 4 do? They replaced gold with Behelits and added a couple of cosmetics with no attribute bonuses, and that’s probably all. No new dungeons, no new bosses. Player Feedback Players naturally couldn’t give a pleasant face to the crossover content announced by Diablo 4. Players’ complaints mainly focused on the emptiness of the content of this crossover, and the high value of pets and cosmetics. They can’t even complain more, because this is all the crossover content between Diablo 4 and Berserk. Many players like the cosmetics of this crossover, but the boring crossover content made them give up the idea of unlocking cosmetics. Diablo 4’s IP cooperation once again verified players’ speculation: the barren content on the 2025 roadmap represents the lack of creativity of this group of developers. They cannot provide players with bold and interesting new content. The so-called IP cooperation is just another opportunity to make money. The linkage between Diablo 4 and Berserk would have been a wonderful start, but they have messed it up. Unless they can do something to remedy the situation, it will be difficult for players to have expectations for the next IP cooperation.

We already know that the next expansion of Diablo 4 will be officially announced in 2026. I have to say that this news is quite disappointing. So how to keep players before the new DLC arrives is a challenge. Just recently, the production team of Diablo 4 announced their 2025 update roadmap, explaining their subsequent update plans. Fortunately, this roadmap is announced early enough. If they announce it after Season 8, 2025 would be almost halfway through. Let’s take a look at what this update roadmap contains. Season 7 Date: January - April Seasonal content Witchcraft powers Headhunts Activity Occult gems Earnable raven pet Permanent additions New Armory Whispers QoL update Although Witchcraft Powers in Season 7 are not very outstanding, this season is still an excellent season overall. Occult gems and Witchcraft Powers work well together. Classes are relatively balanced, and many builds are worth playing. In this season, players can level up faster than before. A skilled player can level up a character in about 7 to 9 hours. If you use a bug, it will only take an hour, and Diablo 4 Gold and equipment will overflow. Therefore, the development team decided to increase the difficulty next season. Season 8 Date: April - July Seasonal content Boss powers Apparition Incursion activity Earnable feline pet New IP collab 2-year anniversary Permanent additions New Lair bosses: Belial, Urivar, Harbinger Lair bosses QoL Reliquaries Season Journey update Season 8 will be officially launched after the update on April 29, when Witchcraft Powers and Occult gems will be removed and replaced by more powerful Boss powers. Although Diablo 4 is not a strictly live service game, the 2-year anniversary event will definitely bring players various XP gains and various treasure drops. The classic Treasure Goblin event is likely to return. In addition to providing gold, the new species of goblins can even drop legendary items. Another great change in Season 8 is that they have simplified the steps of challenging bosses. Players will no longer need to collect some messy items to unlock the qualifications to challenge the boss. When players defeat the boss, they will get a key to open the treasure chest. This is the result of feedback from the developer community. It really makes people feel a lot more relaxed without these complicated items in the backpack. Another interesting point is the new IP collaborate, which really makes people curious about what games can be combined with Diablo 4. Is Diablo 4 going to become another COD BO6? Don’t worry, the developers said that they carefully considered what IP to cooperate with, and they promised that this IP will still be dark fantasy style, and I don’t think it’s Path of Exile 2. Season 9 Date: July - September Seasonal content Horadric powers Dungeon escalation Earnable pet Permanent additions New Nightmare Dungeons activities Console keyboard and mouse support And more Season 9’s Season Power is Horadric powers. The word Horadric appears in Diablo 2, where players can use the magical power of Horadric Cube to transform items into new items. It’s still unclear how Horadric powers will work, but Horadric is related to Brotherhood of the Horadrim, so this organization is likely to return to the game in season 9, and even Deckard Cain and Tyrael will return. This means that the story of Diablo 4 will enter a more epic chapter. In addition, dungeons will be upgraded. If the theme of season 8 is to increase the difficulty of bosses in the endgame, then season 9 may be to increase the difficulty of dungeons. However, I hope to increase the drop rate of corresponding items, because after all, not all players are hardcore players. Most players are relatively casual players. If you don’t get any good legendary equipment after farming for several hours in the dungeon, you will not get positive feedback. Season 10 Date: September - December Seasonal content Chaos powers Infernal Hordes update Earnable pet New IP collab Permanent additions To be announced Season 10’s special power is Chaos powers, and Infernal Hordes will be also updated. So the theme conference of Season 10 is related to Hell. You must remember Chaos Sanctuary, which is closely related to the final boss Diablo. In Diablo 2, players can also get item level 85 items in this area, including gold and equipment. Will Diablo return in Season 10? This is so exciting.

We can’t guess the specific content, but we hope that the new DLC can have a new class that is interesting enough. The above is all about the update plan of Diablo 4 in 2025. It can be seen that the developers of Diablo 4 have a mature plan for the next content. They will bring other important content of Diablo series back to Diablo 4 step by step. There will be two more collaborations with other IPs this year, which is also very exciting. The new linkage will definitely bring a new look, and maybe there will be a new outlook for mounts, so let’s wait together.

In the various builds of Diablo 4, players can often see that Aspects play an important role. Legendary Aspects can upgrade rare items to legendary items, bringing powerful enhancements to the player’s character. In the seventh season of Diablo 4, Necromancer performed very well. Whether it is against bosses or farming Diablo 4 Gold, Necromancer is easy and efficient. And a complete Necromancer build also requires specific Aspects. Here is how to get Necromancer Aspects. How To Get Aspects? Legendary Aspects will not fall from the sky. Generally speaking, there are two ways to get Legendary Aspects, one is Codex of Power, and the other is Legendary items. Codex Of Power Codex of Power is a collection of Aspects. You can engrave it on your rare or legendary equipment in The Occultist. You can unlock more Legendary Aspects by clearing dungeons. However, Codex of Power does not include Legendary Aspects available in the game. Some truly unique Aspects can only be obtained through other means. Legendary Items Legendary weapons have a chance to drop from demons or farming enemies. Legendary items contain Legendary Aspects, which can then be extracted from Legendary items at The Occultis and placed on other Legendary items. Aspects Categories Aspects can provide powerful properties to items, but they cannot be placed on items at will. Each piece of equipment has a specific slot for Aspects, and the bonuses provided by Aspects vary from item to item. Some Aspects can give a character 100% bonus on a two-handed weapon, but only 50% of the effect on an amulet, so players must be careful when choosing Aspects for their equipment. Here are the categories of Aspects: Offensive Aspects: Can be engraved on one-handed weapons, two-handed weapons, gloves, rings or amulets. Defensive Aspects: Can be engraved on pants, shields, helmets, breastplates and amulets. Resource Aspects: Usually can only be engraved on rings. Utility Aspects: Similar to Defensive Aspects, can also be engraved on amulets, breastplates, boots, gloves and helmets. Mobility Aspects: Can only be engraved on amulets and shoes. Necromancer Aspects There are many Aspects suitable for Necromancers. It is worth mentioning that some Aspects are limited to classes. For example, some Aspects say that they are limited to Sorcerer, but they are completely ineffective for Necromancers. You can still use them on your equipment or weapons, but they will not have any effect. The important way to unlock Aspects is to explore dungeons. When you clear dungeons, you can not only get Diablo 4 Gold and equipment but also have the opportunity to unlock various Aspects. The following introduces Necromancer Aspects that you can unlock in the dungeons of each map. Some of them are limited to Necromancer, while others are available to all classes. In any case, they are all Aspects that Necromancer can use.

There are also many Legendary Aspects that are not included. Since there are too many dungeons in Diablo 4, players may not have explored all of them. Therefore, when you lack Aspects suitable for Necromancer, you can try to sweep these areas. As the main game content of Diablo 4, exploring dungeons can bring you too many rewards. In the process of farming Aspects, you will naturally accumulate some equipment and gold, which are very useful for your creation of a better Necromancer.

Last week, Diablo 4 entered a new season with the theme of Season of Witchcraft. In such a season change, players are most concerned about the changes in Class and Uniques used, because this will directly lead to the effectiveness of the build they use and game experience in the new season. In addition, those players who love to explore and innovate are looking for the most suitable build for Diablo 4 Season 7. This guide combines a lot of information from the current player community and social media to summarize several best builds for this season for you. You can make the right choice depending on your game style and goals. In addition to the ability of the build, some of the best skills and gear in these builds will be recommended for you, but because each player’s game style and level are different, all the ones provided here are for reference only, subject to your actual exploration. 1. Barrage Rogue First of all, we will introduce the best build of Rogue, which was not favored by players in previous seasons. In Season 7, Barrage Rogue has undergone a substantial change. It will focus on maximizing the damage ability and practicality of Barrage skill, which is very good whether it is used to clear enemies or fight against bosses. Additionally, this build lets you use Combo Points system, Imbuements, and smart skill selections to deal significant area damage to enemies, which is helpful when fighting groups of enemies. And Fundamental Puncture upgrade in the build also makes enemies more vulnerable, increasing the damage and ricochet chance of Barrage. However, it is important to make sure that Legendary Aspects you choose for this build are Codex of Power Aspects, so that it can be most effective. Also, invest a lot of Diablo 4 Gold in Barrage’s damage and ricochet chance to ensure that this skill’s damage is maximized. Here are some skills that can be recommended to you. Barrage Puncture Dash Shadow Step Shadow Imbuement Or Cold Imbuement Because Barrage Rogue build is suitable for both single-target and group-based enemies, you choose the right Imbuement for the right situation - Shadow Imbuement for area damage, Cold Imbuement for single-target damage and freezes. Not only that, but you also need to maximize the ability of the Imbuement skill tree to increase the frequency and efficiency of these Imbuements. 2. Shred Druid While Druid didn’t perform so well in previous seasons, its Shred skill in Season 7 makes it very likely to become a favorite for players who like a solid survivability and strong damage build, because Shred can deal high damage while maintaining mobility and resilience. However, it must be noted that Shred Druid build is only suitable for those fighting against groups of enemies, and may be a bit difficult against single-target enemies. However, as long as you upgrade the core Shred skill of this build to the highest level, most battles can be completed easily. For those tough boss encounters, you can also survive until the last moment with a low health value. For the gear in Shred Druid build, the first thing you need to consider is the options that can provide you with critical strike damage, Willpower and resistances. Here, it is recommended that Emeralds be placed in the weapon slot, Sapphires in the armor slot, and Diamonds in the jewelry slot, and spend as much Diablo 4 Gold as possible to upgrade them. Additionally, for Diablo 4 Season 7, you can also use the newly added Occult Gems that can provide you with damage, survivability, or spirit generation buffs to make your build more damage output and durability. The skills provided below for your Shred Druid build can be adjusted according to your play style, but this is just a best practice for you. Storm Strike Shred Poison Creeper (Active) Trample Blood Howl Petrify Since Druid is the only Class in the game with two forms, it is also very important to use Spirit Boons system correctly. Generally, use Prioritize Gift of the Stag to increase your spirit, and then use Pack Leader to reset the cooldown time you are waiting for Poison Creeper to deal damage, which will allow you to maintain the poison and immobilization effects, thereby dealing more damage. 3. Quill Volley Spiritborn Although Spiritborn, which was added to the game last season, has received some attribute nerfs in S7, Quill Volley skill that can cause tremendous damage has not been affected. And with the additional support of Gorilla Spirit Guardian, a build based on this skill can cause high-range damage to the enemy and put the enemy into a vulnerable state quickly and for a long time. Based on this effect, when choosing a skill tree, you need to prioritize Quill Volley and spend a lot of Gold on nodes that can provide you with damage and the possibility of applying Vulnerable in order to maximize its effectiveness, such as Vital Strikes. The following are recommended skill choices for you. Rock Splitter Enhanced Rock Splitter Quill Volley Enhanced Quill Volley Soar The Seeker Gorilla Spirit Guardian just introduced can greatly upgrade and improve the survivability of the entire build, so that you can focus more on building this damage-based build. For the second Spirit Guardian, you can choose Jaguar, as it can significantly increase your attack speed and overall damage. Of course, when making the best build for D4S7, you must not ignore the theme of this season - Witchcraft Powers. For example, in Quill Volley Spiritborn build, you can use Vengeful Spirit to reduce the damage you take or Soul Harvest to increase the main attributes of the build. Or you can choose to add Hex of Shattering or Hex of Flames to your build depending on whether you need to deal with groups of enemies and whether you need extra damage. As for the choice of Occult Gems, you’d better give priority to those that can increase your damage and survivability, such as Witching Hour or Killing Wind. The above is the specific information of the three best builds you can use in Diablo 4 Season 7, as well as some things to pay attention to when building. Once again, the skills and gear recommended here are all based on the attribute statistics published at this stage, and you may need to make some adjustments based on your actual combat situation.
