Diablo 4 Season 5: How To Make Your Twisting Blades Rogue Endgame Build More Powerful? - Skills & Recommended Aspects
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 iGMeet 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!

Diablo 4 Season 8 Release D ...
How have you been doing in Season of Witchcraft recently? Have you entered the endgame and conquered Echo of Lilith? To be honest, in Season 7 we saw Witch Powers inspired by Diablo 3, which did bring a brand new gaming experience, but like Vampiric Powers in Season of Blood, their existence only has a shallow synergy with the character build, and there is nothing more worth exploring in terms of the storyline or the source of these powers. So rather than saying that the developers have launched a new season mechanism, it is better to say that they are just using the classic elements in D3 and Season of Blood as a gimmick to attract players. So, for the past few months of Season of Witchcraft, it can only be said that the player's response is mediocre. Because the developers have neither broken away from the inherent concept of Diablo series of games, nor provided more in-depth content worthy of players’ challenges. Therefore, compared to repeating these boring contents in Season 7, more players have turned their attention to the upcoming Season 8. Season 8 Launch Delayed By Two Weeks In fact, if you have been following the developments of Diablo 4, you will know that the developers have announced that the next season will be released on April 15, 2025, but a recent post by Rod Fergusson overturned this view. They said that in order to bring more exciting content to Season 8, the team had to postpone the release of the next season by two weeks, April 29. This delay is more like solving new development problems. Maybe they have hired some capable testers and changed the way to fix “bugs”, but maybe they just want to give themselves a two-week vacation and get rid of their busy work. But let’s be optimistic. The last delay was in S4, which was an event of completely remaking the game. I hope it will be the same this time. Speculations About The Return Of Old Friends In Season 8 - Cube Or Zoltun Kulle? It is worth noting that Rod Fergusson also revealed news that they plan to bring back an “old friend” in the new season. Diablo fans are currently speculating what Fergusson means by this old friend, as he seems to be referring to a familiar character from Diablo series that will return in Season 8. However, some have speculated that this character may not be one of the classic classes we are familiar with in the past, perhaps a memorable villain, or perhaps the boss ladder is really going to be expanded! If we had to guess, they are likely to bring back Cube and Zoltun Kulle, who are the most obvious friends players have had in the past Diablo season journeys. Cube is a device based on Kanai’s Cube from Diablo III. It is a multi-functional tool that can be used to craft and modify items, gain special powers, and convert crafting materials. Currently, there is no direct counterpart to this Cube in Diablo 4, which means that there are no items in the game that can be transformed or modified as a Cube with a specific recipe. In previous updates, most Cube-like functions were handled by in-game vendors or by players directly remaking item modifiers by consuming a certain amount of Diablo 4 gold and materials, rather than dedicated Cube items. Therefore, the return of this mechanic would be an excellent quality of life change. Zoltun Kulle was a sorcerer in Diablo 3 who was originally dedicated to fighting Prime Evils and preventing them from returning to Sanctuary. However, after discovering the secret of immortality, Zoltun Kulle became a tyrant and ultimately betrayed his organization. Some say Kulle is the most popular character in D3 because of his manipulative and cunning voice, but others consider him a villain who acts for his own benefit. However, overall, Zoltun Kulle plays a more critical role in the character’s growth, survival, and ultimate victory than any other NPC. Therefore, its reappearance has been one of the most requested things by players during each season update since the release of Diablo 4. However, it always takes extra time to do that kind of additional content in the game, not to mention that they have experience with reworking systems like Gem Sockets and Reputation Board, so if it is the return of these features, I think we will definitely see it in Season 8 PTR soon. But don’t expect too much, after all, what developers are best at is whetting players’ appetites. It might be something as mundane as a legend or a quest, but it’s unlikely to be a belated surprise. It’s Time To Get Rid Of Seasonal Content! Amidst the many discussions speculating on what new content will be introduced in the new season, there is another voice that hopes that the developers should postpone Season 8 forever and get rid of the cyclical seasonal content. The current situation is that a new bug will appear three days after the start of the new season, and then the season can be abandoned and it’s time to focus on the next season update! The developers can only keep copying all the content in the past Diablo series, including goblins, so Diablo 4’s diversity in this regard is embarrassing. D4 has undoubtedly the most boring legend and fable in the entire Diablo series. For these reasons, we think that Diablo 4 developers should focus more on quality content and regularly add new interesting equipment and legend plots, instead of always working on the terrible season reset. If we can choose to start a new character and have fun with our precious equipment, then this is the time for these seasonal content to play a role. However, to be honest, this is just our speculation at the moment, and the arrival of Season 8 seems unstoppable, so we can only hope that this delay for new content is worth the wait. If you still have expectations for the next season of Diablo 4 and look forward to a better gaming experience, then preparing in advance is the eternal topic of every journey, whether it is a new character build or a large amount of in-game resources. Of course, if you are currently out of inventory, don’t worry, you can follow D4 giveaway channel in iGMeet Discord, where frequent draws give you the opportunity to get some rare items for free. So, why not participate in it in time, anyway, you have nothing to lose!Mar-06-2025

Diablo 4 DLC: How To Get Re ...
As a new class introduced in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred DLC, Spiritborn has been given specific Aspects and Uniques, such as Rebounding Feathers Aspect And Wound Drinker Ring Unique. This article is a detailed introduction to these two items. If you have chosen Spiritborn as your class, then keep reading. Rebounding Feathers Aspect Details Several Aspects are designed to be used by one class in Diablo 4. No matter which class you use, it is worthwhile to collect Aspects that are suitable for them. But as for Spiritborn, you can obtain those necessary Diablo 4 Items from multiple sources, not just the dungeon they are tied to. To be honest, some specific Aspects can only be collected to your Codex by Salvaging an item, but Rebounding Aspect is not the same thing, which can be embraced from a new Dungeon added in D4: VoH. Rebounding Feathers Aspect Effects Primary Effect Quill Volley’s feathers explode at their culmination and return, causing [35 - 55]% of their normal damage. Item Types 1H Weapon 2H Weapon (+100% effectiveness) Gloves Amulet (+50% effectiveness) Rings Function Of Rebounding Feathers Aspect As a Spiritborn-exclusive Aspect, Rebounding Feathers are available to enhance the class’ Quill Volley skill. With this Offensive Aspect being activated, your Quill Volley casts will burst out at their furthest point and then return to you, hitting enemies twice and potentially granting Vulnerable status twice. Moreover, It can also be imbued onto 1H and 2H Weapons, Gloves, Amulets, and Rings to get extra damage. Although it can be counted as one of the most fantastic Aspects for Spiritborn following Eagle Spirit Hall and its associated builds, several Unique effects still owns the potential to transcend it. But regardless, Rebounding Feathers is indispensable to level up Quill Volley Spiritborn build. So it is wise to unlock it as soon as possible and keep it on an Amulet. As one of the most useful combat Aspects in this build, Rebounding Feathers is undoubtedly your best bet until you get Unique items like Rod of Kepeleke and high-roll Defensive and Resource Gain Aspects. How To Get Rebounding Aspect? After completing Forge of Malice dungeon in Nahantu, Rebounding Aspect will automatically unlock. This is a dungeon that nestles in the entrance to Nahantu from Gea Kul, conveniently located. Once players can obtain Rebounding Aspect in this dungeon, it will be added to your Codex, but its rolled stats remain low. To increase the damage bonus from 35% to 55%, a Legendary item will be required and salvaged. Rebounding Aspect rarely can be found in Legendary equipment in Diablo 4. When you successfully salvage a Legendary item with Rebounding Aspect, the appearance of your Codex will automatically upgrade to this new higher level. If this Aspect at its highest roll is equipped onto a 2H weapon, your Quill Volley Rebounding Feathers will undoubtedly bring unprecedented damage, so it is well worth having. Wound Drinker Unique Details If you are desperate for one of the best Poison Rings for their Spiritborn, then please pay much attention to Wound Drinker. Although it may not be so easy to get, it is a time-consuming task, but it is worth it. Luckily, similar to most of Unique items in the game, Wound Drinker can be target-farmed from endgame activities. Where To Get Wound Drinker Unique Ring? Once you have reached Level 60 and Torment 1 Difficulty, Wound Drinker will drop into any activities. But different activities have different drop rates. Here are some activities that offer higher Unique drop rates: Fighting Lair Bosses Nightmare Dungeons Caches of Items from Dark Citadel Opening Helltide Chests of Mystery Players need to pay attention to those dungeons that feature monsters, such as monsters in Demon or Ghost families, because they usually have higher drop rates. There are other channels for you to embrace this ring if you are failed after trying those methods. For example, fighting with Beast in the Ice. This can be said to be the most convenient and effective way. It is noticeable that Beast in the Ice in Tormented version is much harder than in Standard version. Therefore, it is recommended to enter Standard version to launch fight with this monster. Wound Drinker Unique Affixes And Effects + [4.2–37.5]% Poison Resistance + [2–130] Armor + [10–373] Thorns + [5–9] Damage Reduction from Poisoned Enemies + [1–3] Toxic Skin (Spiritborn only) Every time you perform Thorns Damage, you gain [1–7] Vigor Gain Toxic Skin’s Passive Effect Builds That Use Wound Drinker Wound Drinker is perfect for those builds that give much emphasis on poison damage benefit. And those builds that focus on Thorns can also benefit. Here lies the popular Spiritborn builds that can use Wound Drinker: Stinger Centipede Spiritborn Touch of Death Centipede Spiritborn Rake Thorns Spiritborn Rock Splitter Gorilla Thorns Spiritborn The above is the recommended Aspect and Uniques for Spiritborn class.

Diablo 4 Season 5: How To G ...
Attention Diablo 4 players, Diablo 4 Season 5 is about to be released! I’m sure you’ve already learned a lot from many guides, and there will definitely be an end-game event called Infernal Hordes. But do you know how to start fighting Demons in Hell in Infernal Hordes? That’s where you need to rely on Infernal Hordes Compass. This guide will show you how to get and upgrade this important item in Infernal Hordes in Season 5. Location Of Infernal Hordes Compass Before joining Infernal Hordes, you will need to complete Eye of the Enemy quest near Zarbinzet in Hawezar. At the end of the mission, you will receive Talisman of Lochlan's Unique Amulet and a Tie 1 Infernal Hordes Compass. From what we know so far, you will find Infernal Hordes Compass in various corners throughout the game world, such as Nightmare Dungeons, The Pit, or Tree of Whisper caches. Besides, it will be found in Helltide Chests you get after each Helltide event. You can even give it directly to Occultist to make it for you. If you don’t have time to prepare Infernal Hordes Compass in advance, don’t worry, because there will be some Compass for you to pick up in Infernal Hordes themselves. In addition to the latest end-game event, Infernal Hordes, most other major end-game events that can provide you with gear or items can reward you with Compass. However, depending on the difficulty of the content, Infernal Hordes Compass will have different levels. For example, when you unlock World Tier 3 and complete the quest chain to unlock Infernal Hordes, you will usually find compasses from Tier 1 to Tier 3 in Nightmare Dungeons, Helltide Chests, Helltide enemies, and Tree of Whispers cache. In the previous PTR, some advance players have tested that the probability of dropping Infernal Hordes Compass in Tree of Whispers cache is 75%, and the drop rate of the remaining locations may require you to explore yourself after the official launch. Read More: Diablo 4 Season 5 Will Bring You A Rich Gameplay Experience! - Whether New Players Or Veteran Players In addition, you need to fight monsters of different levels in these locations. For example, in WT3, you need to fight monsters of level 50-70; in WT4, you need to fight monsters of level 70-100; when you reach Tie 100 in WT4, you need to fight monsters of level 100. As you progress into the later stages of the game, you’ll be able to obtain some rare Tier 4-8 Infernal Compasses that will help you in the later, more difficult content. Likewise, higher-level Nightmare Dungeons and Pit drops higher-tier Compasses. Infernal Hordes Compass is actually very similar to Nightmare Dungeon Keys before it. The deeper you go into World Tier system, the harder it is to get Compasses. So you’ll want to make sure your character’s attributes match the current World Tier before you start looking for it, so that your exploration will be easier. Depending on the level of Infernal Compass, you’ll find various affixes on them. Generally, the higher the level of the location you’re in, the fewer resurrections you’ll have and the more waves you’ll get. You’ll also get better rewards from it, such as a higher chance of getting unique, legendary, and Diablo 4 Gold among other rewards. This is the reason you’ll want to grind for more challenging content, so that you have a greater chance of getting the perfect gear for you. How To Make And Upgrade Infernal Compasses? If you don’t want to spend time exploring Nightmare Dungeons or The Pit, you can just give it to Occultists as mentioned above, and they will teach you how to make Infernal Compasses. He will tell you that you need to obtain two very competitive resources, Forgotten Souls and Sigil Powder, before you can make the compasses you want. After you use the corresponding Compasses, you can also dismantle it to get more Sigil Poder, so that you can save a little resource when making the next compass. When you get an Infernal Compass, you can unlock the corresponding Infernal Hordes. But after Tier 3 Infernal Compass, if you want to get a higher Tie compass, you need to use Abyssal Scrolls to help you upgrade. Abyssal Scrolls are usually found in Helltide Mystery Chests or in the material packs in Spils of Hells you will get after Infernal Hordes run ends. You can use it to upgrade your Infernal Compass to unlock higher Tie Infernal Hordes. What you need to note here is that starting from Tier 4, each level up will add an additional Abyssal Scroll. Here is good news for you. The drop rate of Abyssal Scrolls has been increased when Season 5 is officially released. So you can find it in Treasure Goblins and some loot chests in the game world. This means that you can upgrade more Infernal Compasses and increase the number of times you explore Infernal Hordes. That’s all you need to know about Infernal Compass in Diablo 4 Season 5. I’m sure you’re looking forward to the official release of Season 5, so come to iGMeet Discord and wait with other players! You can express your expectations here, and you’ll also have a chance to win some extra Diablo 4 Gold. We’re looking forward to it together!Aug-04-2024
