Diablo 4 Season 8 Mighty Th ...
In the first few seasons of Diablo 4, Mighty Throw Barbarian build has become a favorite for players who want to challenge the very difficult endgame stages. It can throw its weapons with dominant force and destroy multiple enemies at once, which is very effective against enemies with poor physical defense and groups. Although the cooldown of Mighty Throw may hinder your ability to quickly clear with this build, it and Steel Grasp have undergone a very significant overhaul in the upcoming Season 8, and The Third Blade Unique, which can make up for this shortcoming, has also received some additions in the new season, making this build likely to continue to play a major role in D4S8. If you haven’t tried this powerful Mighty Throw Barbarian endgame build before, this guide will give you an introduction to its pros and cons and possible changes in the next season. For players who have tried or are using this build, here are some build options that will make you more powerful in the next season. Pros And Cons The main reason why many D4 players like to use Mighty Throw Barbarian build is because of its semi-ranged play style, which allows you to attack enemies from a distance, thereby reducing the threat posed by enemies in close combat, which is very important for Barbarian class, which is not very flexible. In addition, the high burst damage of the entire build can support you to complete most of the game content and challenges in the endgame stage in one go, whether the enemy appears as a single target or a group. Of course, Barbarian’s own super high defense ability allows you to easily survive in such a very difficult battle. However, this Mighty Throw Barbarian build is not completely without disadvantages. The first and most important thing is that it has a high gear dependency, such as The Third Blade just introduced. After you have it and spend a lot of D4 Gold to upgrade it to the highest level, the cooldown time of the main skills in the entire build will become very short, thus having a higher damage ability. Not only that, when you use this build to fight some battles, you also need to carefully manage Fury you generate to ensure that your damage output is always stable, otherwise you are likely to be hit by enemies or bosses and cause a lot of damage when you lack Fury. Most importantly, the player threshold for using this Mighty Throw Barbarian build is actually very high, requiring players to have the ability to accurately rotate skills and strategic positioning, which fundamentally excludes some ordinary players who like to have super defense and damage capabilities but low levels. Skill Selection If you understand the pros and cons of Mighty Throw Barbarian build and continue to use this powerful build, then the following skill selection may be very helpful to you, because it determines whether you can have better damage and defense capabilities in battle. Bash can be regarded as the foundation of the entire build, because it can continuously generate Fury and ensure that Overpower, which has an enormous increase in your damage output, can accurately hit the enemy. For the core skill of this build, you can choose Hammer of the Ancients, which can deal extremely high damage and suppress the enemy. For defense, which you don’t have to worry too much, you can choose Rallying Cry to bring some benefits to your poor movement speed and resource generation. The key point of the entire Mighty Throw Barbarian build is that you must choose Mighty Throw and Steel Grasp for your weapon mastery slots. The former can cause threatening damage to single targets and groups of enemies, and the latter can reduce the distance between enemies and you to deal with critical strikes more effectively and make them more vulnerable. For your boss-only ultimate, Call of the Ancients, which summons Ancients to help you fight and buff you, is probably your best bet. Finally, you can choose Unbridled Rage as your key passive, which increases the damage output of Core skill but requires your Fury. Skill Rotation When you have equipped all the skills in Mighty Throw Barbarian build and enter the battle, you can choose the corresponding skill rotation according to the situation you are facing. When facing a regular single enemy or a group of enemies, you can use Steel Grasp to gather the enemies together first. Then activate Rallying Cry, and your Fury will continue to increase and enter Unstoppable status. After that, you can use Mighty Throw to deal a lot of area damage to the enemy. Repeat this way, basically these enemies will be successfully defeated by you after 2-3 rounds, and reward you with a lot of Diablo 4 Gold. However, when facing a boss, you may need to use Bash first to generate a lot of Fury and apply Overpower to the enemy to increase more damage. After that, you can continue to use Rallying Cry and Mighty Throw, two skills with strong damage, in order. If the enemy you are facing has a high health value, you can use Call of the Ancients to deal more damage. Items Of course, to maximize the effectiveness of Mighty Throw Barbarian build, it is not enough to just select skills. You also need to select some Gear, Legendary Aspects or Gems and so no that can provide buffs to your other attributes. Here are some Diablo 4 Items options worth trying in Season 8, but please note that the statistics are based on PTR and previous seasons, and may change on April 29. Gear Harlequin Crest - All skills have additional ranks and have reduced overall cooldowns. Shroud of False Death - Increases resource generation and improves all stats. Tibault’s Will - While unstoppable, you gain resources and your damage increases. Yen’s Blessing - Activating a skill can cause a non-mobility, non-ultimate skill on cooldown to activate. The Third blade - Turns Weapon Mastery skills into core skills that have no cooldown but consume Fury. Ring of Starless Skies - Rank on your core skills and overall resistance to all elements. Legendary Aspects Aspect of Apogeic Furor - At 10 stacks, ultimate damage bonus and cooldown reset. Aspect of Encroaching Wrath - Weapon Mastery Skill Damage Increase when 100 Fury is consumed. Earthstriker’s Aspect - After 8 weapon swaps, your next non-basic skill becomes Overpowered. Aspect of Limitless Rage - Overflowing Fury Points increases the damage of your next core skill, stacking up to 15 times. Blood Boiling Aspect - when using your core skill Overpower, creates three volatile blood droplets that explode and deal massive damage to enemies. Aspect of Herculean Spectacle - Increases the damage output of Mighty Throw. Gems Ruby - Increases 60 Strength in Armor slot and Increases 90% Overpower Damage in Weapon slot. Elder Sigil - Increased damage and defense against hexed enemies. Phantom Sigil - Increased Overpower damage on hexed enemies. Witching Hour - Core skills are treated as Eldritch. Witchcraft Powers Doom Orb - Enemies take damage from ominous orbs floating around them. Abyssal Resonance - After using its primary resource, it explodes, dealing shadow damage to enemies. Shaken Soul - Eldritch effects apply vulnerability to enemies. Aura of lament - Enemies tainted by Aura of lament are slowed down and you regain 3 primary resources every second. Aura Specialization - Increases critical strike damage against enemies within the aura effect range. Twilight Warding - Gain a barrier of 30% of your maximum life every 14.5 seconds. The above are the specific descriptions of Mighty Throw Barbarian build that may play a big role in Diablo 4 Season 8 and some of the build options that can be selected for it. Once again, the statistics and attributes of some of the items or skills recommended for you here are based on the just-concluded S8 PTR and previous seasons, and may be subject to some changes in the future. We will also continue to pay attention and wish you a happy game!Mar-25-2025

Diablo 4 Season 7: What Cha ...
In the ongoing Diablo 4 Season 7 PTR, players will experience the changes brought by the new season to the game content in advance. Among them, the changes that players can feel most easily are the changes to each class. In Patch 2.1, we can roughly understand that most of the abilities of Spiritborn have been hit very obviously, but Rogue has improved some key attributes. This will not only change the player’s game style accordingly, but also have a greater impact on the development of subsequent builds. So this guide will give you a detailed introduction to the changes that Spiritborn and Rogue in Diablo 4 will undergo in Season 7, so that you can change your game style as soon as possible in the next season to face the new game content. Spiritborn Although Spiritborn has been hit very obviously overall, there are still improvements in some of its skills. For example, Enhanced Thunderspike, Vigor gain it provides you have increased from 5 to 7, which means that you will generate more and more Vigor in battle, and those skills that require Vigor when casting can be used continuously. In addition, Endurance will generate double Vigor! If you combine these two skills with skills that can deal super high damage with Vigor, you will be able to clear most enemies and easily get Diablo 4 Gold from them. For those skills that can deal damage, some improvements have also been made. For example, Thorns damage caused by Bastion has been tripled, which can make the enemy suffer a very painful movement process. After talking about the enhanced skills, let’s take a look at the nerfed parts. Legendary Aspects are the first. The three Legendary Aspects possessed by Spiritborn have been weakened to a certain extent. The most serious of them is Sticker-thought Aspect, which has been directly removed from the list, which greatly reduces Spiritborn’s ability in some battles. And Spirit Halls, which are very important to Spiritborn, have also been weakened. Centipede Primary Spirit Hall will increase Poison damage it casts next season, but the damage reduction will be reduced, and each hit will only have 2% damage reduction. Similarly, when Spiritborn uses Eagle Secondary Spirit Hall, the delay before reset is extended to 4 seconds, which means that the combo ability that this Class is proud of will be greatly affected. Among Uniques, some have been improved for the better, and some have been changed for the worse. For example, after you equip Band of First Breath, your Vigor will not spawn, but your damage ability will get some benefits from it. But Rod of Kepeleke is the opposite, and its critical hit damage has been weakened to insignificance. So players who like this Unique in the current season may need to change their builds in time. Rogue As I mentioned earlier, Rogue class has received a major upgrade in Season 7, not only gaining greater mobility but also integrating lethality and skill into more powerful gear, especially Assassin’s Stride Boots. With the help of these boots, your movement speed will increase by 100% after casting a movement skill! And the damage caused by Shadow Imbued with your movement skills will also be increased, which means that you can also cause incredible explosive damage to those Elites or Bosses while moving quickly. But I have to remind you that this kind of powerful Unique requires you to spend a lot of effort to cultivate it in the game. You can also get it directly by trading with suppliers or other players in the game. This means you may need a lot of Gold. If you want, you can participate in the regular draws in iGMeet Discord and get some emergency Diablo 4 Gold from it to make your exploration process easier. For Rogue’s Legendary Aspects, only two have received buffs. The first is Slice and Dice, which will allow Twisting Blades to cleave in the next season, and their return speed will increase by 45%. The other is Bitter Infection, which will increase the damage caused by Shadow Imbued by 50% and add a ticking sound to remind you of the countdown to the explosion. In addition to the above, Rogue’s active and passive skills have been significantly improved. For example, the extra damage caused by Twisting Blades lasts longer, Rain of Arrows allows you to deal instant damage and crowd control to enemies faster and more smoothly, Shadow Crash can stun enemies faster and more steadily, etc. Besides, Shadow Clone Unique has also received a very significant enhancement: it is triggered faster and more powerful. So in Season 7, you can be full of expectations for Rogue builds, because there are many possibilities waiting for you to try, and each build may become the best helper for you to pass the level. The above are some buffs and nerfs that Spiritborn and Rogue will get in Diablo 4 Season 7 according to Patch 2.1. If you are a lucky player in this PTR, I believe you should feel the effect of these changes. I hope you can build a strong Spiritborn or Rogue build in the next season to cope with game content of various difficulties. I wish you a happy game!Dec-10-2024

Diablo 4 DLC: How To Comple ...
Players can perform a variety of activities during their pursuit of Neyrelle in the jungles of Nahantu, such as clearing out Dungeons or completing side quests. Side quests provide Renown and help unlock additional rewards such as Skill Points and Paragon Points. This guide will show you how to complete Keening Spirit Quest. In addition, we will also cover Deeds of a Champion Quest, which is a quest that players can only unlock after completing the main campaign of Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred. This quest marks the beginning of the endgame and requires players to travel to Sanctuary to complete a series of objectives to help them quickly reach level 60. This quest is relatively simple and is a must-do for entering Dark Citadel, a new area that allows players to obtain Unique items. Keening Spirit Quest Guide To begin Keening Spirit quest, you need to speak with Nunir, a resident of Kurast. They will tell you that there is a spirit crying out for help in the jungle. You can find these quest givers in Upper Kurast, near where you start Tenets of Depravity quest in Diablo 4. This spirit is called Banshee, and you can find it in the jungle just south of where the quest starts. To free the spirit, you need to defeat Spirit-Gorged Hollow. It will usually be surrounded by a large group of monsters. Spiritborn’s Centipede builds are great for clearing out these large groups of monsters, and other builds can also complete the quest. Once you defeat Spirit-Gorged Hollow, the quest will automatically complete. As a reward, you will receive some experience, Diablo 4 Gold, crafting materials, equipment, and 30 Renown for Nahantu Region. Normally, players can find distressed spirits simply by patrolling the blue quest area. However, there have been reports of certain bugs that prevent Bashe from appearing, making Keening Spirit quest impossible to complete. If you find Spirit-Gorged Hollow, wait a few moments for the humanoid ghost to appear. Deeds Of A Champion Quest Walkthrough Players will need to complete a series of quests to unlock all Mercenaries, complete the three dungeons in Nahantu, Tenets of Depravity side quest chain, conquer Kichuk Stronghold, eliminate Terror of Five Hills in Undercity, and complete Endgame Activities. Mercenaries In particular, there are three side quests required to get all Mercenaries, or four if you count the main story quest that unlocks the entire system. And clearing Temple of Rot stronghold in Dry Steppes is a necessary step. These quests can be time intensive, but can be completed effectively with proper organization and teamwork. Tenets Of Depravity To complete this objective, simply follow the markers on the map and interact with objects or NPCs. It is best to complete the dungeons close to the objective so that you can complete this part of Deeds of a Champion. Kichuk Stronghold Once you reach Kichuk Stronghold, Lacuni will massacre the townsfolk. You will need to fight off the monsters, and the remaining survivors will ask you to eliminate the remaining creatures in the cave. Once you have destroyed the pillars and collapsed the cave, you will need to defeat Lacuni shaman to return to the surface. Once you have done this, Stronghold will be cleared. Endgame Activities To complete this quest, you will need to have completed Grim Favors for Tree of Whispers, participated in Helltides, and completed level 20 of Pit. Sihek Location After completing certain quests, the player will be given a new order to return to Ormus in Kurast Bazaar and obtain new information, which will ask you to find Sihek and speak with him. He will appear at the entrance of Kurast Undercity, and if he does not appear there, it means that he is still imprisoned in Undercity. This can be easily resolved by completing the main quests in Undercity. To speak with Sihek, you will need to first complete Undercity series of quests. Sihek is researching a cure for Hollow corruption, and can be found in the council chambers after completing it. He will then tell you about the quest to defeat Terror of the Five Hills in Kurast Undercity dungeon. After completing these quests, return to Ormus one last time to claim your hard-earned rewards, including Garb of Baleful Intent, Armor Set, Reins of the Dark Leopard, Scion of Hatred Barding, 2,035,214 XP and 3,000 Gold.

Diablo 4 Season 5: How To F ...
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 Sorcerer: Staff of Endless Rage & Esu’s Heirloom & Raiment of the Infinite & Tal Rasha’s Iridescent Loop All Class: Frostburn & Mother’s Embrace About Mythic Unique Items Doombringer Grandfather Melted Heart of Selig Andariel’s Visage Harlequin Crest Tyrael’s Might Ring of Starless Skies 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 iGMeet 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!Sep-13-2024
