Diablo 4 Season 5: Looking Forward To The Launching Of Season 6 And Its Expansion

In Diablo Season 7, Witch Powers is the theme of this season. Occult Gems are also new items in Season 7. They can be used with Witch Powers to exert greater power. Unlike Witch Powers, Occult Gems require players to collect materials to craft. And crafting Occult Gems does not require gold, but many fragments, and you also need to participate in Headhunts and collect Fugitive Heads. Occult Gems are more powerful than ordinary gems, and their performance is much better than traditional gems. Each Occult Gem can provide your character with high armor and other effect bonuses. Occult Gems There are three different types of mysterious gems: Magic Rarity Rare Rarity Legendary Rarity The higher the rarity, the better the effect of these Occult Gems. At the same time, each gem can provide your character with 8% of all resistances and 160 armor. To make Occult Gems of different rarity, you need Occult Gems of the previous rarity as raw materials. Magic Rarity Occult Gems need Fugitive Heads to make. If you want to make Occult Gems quickly, you need to participate in Headhunts a lot.

In addition to hunting monsters in Headhunt area to obtain fragments, you can also do Infernal Hordes quest and open the material box in this quest. Many of the effects of Occult Gems are directly auxiliary to Witch Powers or are affected by Witch Powers. The two work together to exert greater power in Season 7. Choosing the right combination of Occult Gems and Witch Powers can greatly improve the efficiency of farming gold and defeating Bosses. Players can first confirm which build they want to play in Season 7, then match Witch Powers for it according to the characteristics of the build, and finally choose Occult Gems based on Witch Powers. Occult Gems can only be placed in accessories, and only one can be placed at a time, so choose carefully. Don’t waste fragments to create an Occult Gem you don’t need.

As Diablo 4 enters Season of Hatred Rising, the difficulty of some enemies has also increased with the upgrade of the difficulty system in the new season, which may require you to learn more combat skills and strategies. But what will not change is that for some Uber Bosses, you still need to use some summoning materials to summon them, instead of waiting for your challenge in the arena. Among all the summoning materials, Living Steel can be said to be very important. Not only because it is very rare but also because it can summon Galvanic Saint Grigoire, which can provide you with a lot of Uniques. This is a very powerful Boss added in the previous season. Of course, besides Uniques, this Boss will also reward you with Shards of Agony, which can be used to summon Echo of Duriel, which is more powerful but can also provide you with more loot. So Living Steel is the source of all your rewards, and its importance can be seen. Although Living Steel is very difficult to obtain, this guide will tell you that it is very difficult to obtain. Here we will introduce you to multiple ways to farm Living Steel and tell you how to use it, striving to provide you with a one-stop service. Farming Methods Once you have passed all the experience and reached Torment 1, you can start farming Living Steel. Here is a suggestion for you: your farming efficiency will be higher in higher levels of Tormented difficulty. Living Steel mainly drops when you run some endgame activities, such as Kurast Undercity or Nightmare Dungeons exclusive to Season 6. Of course, you may find that the drop rate of Living Steel in these dungeons is too low after your first run. If you don’t want to participate in the more tough challenges, you can only grind in these two dungeons multiple times to increase the probability of Living Steel dropping. Or you can also find Living Steel in Tortured Gifts that appear in Helltide events, where the chance will be slightly higher. Once you’ve completed the main campaign, Helltides will appear on the map, and you can join them through a portal and defeat some enemies with a powerful build enhanced by Diablo 4 Gold. After you defeat all the enemies and complete the events, you’ll earn the special currency in Helltides called Aberrant Cinders. You’ll need to use it to open Helltides Chests that may contain Living Steel, but don’t be sad if you don’t have the summoning material you want, because some of the powerful items in them are also very valuable and can be used to enhance your build and character. If you want to do a targeted farming of Living Steel, you can use 250 Aberrant Cinders to get Tortured Gifts, which have a greatly increased drop rate of this summoning material, and you can even get 14 Living Steel at once, while other Helltides Chests can only give you 1-2 at most! In addition, you can also specifically pick the time when Helltides appears in Kehjistan, because this is the only region with three Tortured Gifts. Once you enter this Helltide, spend 600 Aberrant Cinders to open all Tortured Gifts, and you can even get 42 Living Steel in less than an hour. It should be noted here that you can only get this Tortured Gift after unlocking Torment Difficulties, which is also a prerequisite for participating in the endgame event. Usage Living Steel is used to summon Tormented Grigoire. You need to take these summoning materials to Hall of the Penitent in any Torment difficulties and find a summoning altar there. If you can’t find this special location, you can use Ked Bardu, the capital of Dry Steppes, as a landmark, which is just south of the capital. It costs 12 Living Steel each time you summon Tormented Grigoire, and this cost does not increase with the increase of Torment difficulties. After you place the summoning materials, this Uber Boss will appear. Here are some combat tips for you: First, if your Lightning Resistance cap is less than 70%, you need to equip an Elixir of Lightning Resistance II in your build to increase your resistance to magic damage cast by Grigoire. In addition, during the battle, try to go around it from behind to attack it, so that you can avoid a lot of frontal attacks. When its health is only 40%, Grigoire will summon some small monsters to help it. At this time, your attack target should be changed to these small monsters, otherwise they will also be very deadly to you. After you successfully defeat it, you can pick up some very valuable loot and Diablo 4 Gold. The following is a list of loot it provides. Loot - According To Class Barbarian Twin Strikes Rage of Harrogath Battle Trance The Butcher’s Cleaver Unbroken Chain Druid Earthbreaker Insatiable Fury Hunter’s Zenith Waxing Gibbous The Butcher’s Cleaver Necromancer Ebonpiercer Howl from Below Greaves of the Empty Tomb The Butcher’s Cleaver Path of Trag’Oul Rogue Saboteur’s Signet Word of Hakan Grasp of Shadow Shroud of Khanduras Sorcerer Flameweaver Staff of Lam Esen Iceheart Brais Axial Conduit Spiritborn Protection of the Prime Peacemonger’s Signet Ring of the Midnight Sun Loyalty’s Mantle Of course, the higher Torment difficulties, the more items it drops, and it is more likely to drop Mythic Uniques. So if you can choose a Grigoire of the appropriate level to challenge according to the strength of your build. The following is a list of Mythic Uniques that Grigoire will provide. Barbarian The Grandfather Druid Ahavarion, Spear of Lycander Necromancer The Grandfather Sorcerer Ahavarion, Spear of Lycander Spiritborn Nesekem, the Herald The above is the farming method and some specific uses of Living Steel in Diablo 4 Season 6. I hope you can challenge Grigoire faster and more easily with the help of this guide. If you want to know about other Uber Boss battle strategies, you are welcome to join iGMeet Discord to ask questions. You will definitely find the best answers there. And you can also participate in a lucky draw. The prize includes Living Steel we introduced today! The list of winners will be announced on November 4th. Wish you good luck!

Diablo 4 Season 5 brings a plethora of new items, game modes, and seasonal quests. As players dive into Season of Infernal Hordes, many are looking for a fun and efficient leveling build to quickly reach the late game. While each class has multiple viable leveling strategies, Necromancer’s Minion build is considered one of the best options. In Season 4, Necromancer’s Minion build received several buffs, and an interesting new Legendary Aspect was introduced to the game to enhance the build’s survivability. Here are some suggestions on how to play Minion Necromancer and successfully reach level 100 in this season, including equipment selection, Skill Tree walkthrough, and Book of the Dead advice. Best Build Necromancer’s Minions have undergone significant buffs in Season 4, and these improvements make a minion-centric build the preferred option for leveling up Necromancer. The most prominent of these improvements is the tweak to the defensive abilities of minions, which greatly increases their duration. Combined with some of the new gear and Legendary Aspects introduced in Season 5, this makes a minion-focused Necromancer build a strong, true Army of the Dead Power fantasy, and also highlights the importance of Diablo 4 Gold in acquiring this precious resource. You can also stay up to date with the game’s Giveaway channel by being active in iGMeet discord group. Skill Tree Walkthrough Skill tree for Minion Necromancer can seem a little unusual in its early stages, mainly because players tend not to pick the first node of skills. However, Diablo 4’s progression system dictates that players must invest 2 points in Basic Abilities Node before continuing, which often results in players having to randomly allocate these two points to Sever and/or Decompose. Beyond that, though, this build is fairly passive, with the main purpose of providing players with a steady supply of corpses to use with Corpse Tendrils or Raise Skeleton. Basic Abilities These skills are only used when there is room in Hotbar, and are usually replaced by other skills when the player reaches level 25-30. Depending on the player’s preference for melee or ranged combat, you can choose to allocate two skill points to Sever or Decompose. Core Skills Before Necromancer’s Minions are enhanced, this version relies on Blood Surge for its main damage output. This version only provides 2 skill points, but this limitation is not critical because the skill will not be displayed in Hotbar unless the player chooses not to use full minions in the late game. Blood Surge (2/5) Enhanced Blood Surge Paranormal Blood Surge Unliving Energy (3/3) Imperfectly Balanced (3/3) Hewed Flesh (3/3) Corpse And Macabre Skills This is when Necromancer’s Minions start to wreak havoc on the enemy. However, besides getting more passive buffs, players should also choose the best defense for Necromancer’s best - Bloodmist. Blood Mist (1/5) Enhanced Blood Mist Ghastly Blood Mist Spiked Armor (2/3) Skeleton Warrior Mastery (3/3) Grim Harvest (2/3) Fueled by Death (3/3) Curse Skills At this level, players need to allocate 2 points to Iron Maiden to gain Essence Generation and bonus damage, but it is more critical to focus on the multiple useful passive skills provided by this node. Iron Maiden (1/5) Enhanced Iron Maiden Death’s Embrace (3/3) Amplify Damage (3/3) Death’s Approach (3/3) Skeletal Mage Mastery (3/3) Corpse And Macabre Skills (2) This is when Minion Necromancer gets all the important CCs and primary Defensive Statistics. At this stage, the build should be able to handle Elite Packs and Mini-Bosses with some ease while the player can watch from the back. Corpse Tendrils (1/5) Enhanced Corpse Tendrils Plagued Corpse Tendrils Necrotic Carapace (3/3) Ultimate Skills This is where the player needs to keep the ultimate build in mind. For a pure Minion build later on, remove all points from Blood Surge and Imperfectly Balanced and invest in Army of the Dead and some extra passive skills here. However, if players want to switch to Blood Surge Build, then don’t choose Army of the Dead. Here are the two options side by side. Pure Minion Build Transition Blood Surge (2→0/3) Remove upgrades Imperfectly Balanced (3→0/3) Army of the Dead Prime Army of the Dead Supreme Army of the Dead Golem Mastery (3/3) Hellbent Commader (3/3) Inspiring Leader (3/3) Reaper's Pursuit (1/3) Terror (1/3) Gloom (1/3) Blood Surge Build Transition Blood Surge (2 → 3/5) Spiked Armor (2 → 1/3) Golem Mastery (3/3) Hellbent Commander (3/3) Inspiring Leader (3/3) Key Passives There is only one passive skill that benefits Minion Necromancer, and that is Kalan’s Edict. This passive is especially powerful for those who will continue to grow minions in World Tiers 3 and 4, as the items dropped there increase the maximum number of minions. Book Of The Dead The Book Of The Dead is fairly simple for Minion Necromancer. Just pick those options that maximize the damage of horde. In this version, the real damage output is handled by Skeletal Mages, who will gain most of the buffs from their gear. Skeletal Warriors Reapers - Option 2 There is a 15% chance to convert enemies hit into corpses. Skeletal Mages Shadow Mages - Option 1 Deal 3% additional damage for each active mage. Golem Blood Golem - Option 2 Golem heals the player by 5% for each enemy drained with its active ability Golem gains 25% damage reduction and 50% increased damage while Healthy Itemization The items in this version are designed to increase the damage output of the player’s minions while ensuring that the player himself has enough survivability. Look for a gear with the following traits: Weapon Damage Damage Increase (%) Intelligence Maximum Life Critical Strike Chance Critical Strike Damage Vulnerable Damage Movement Speed Useful Legendary Aspects While it is impossible to pick the best combination of Aspects from the litter of Aspects during upgrades, as players are limited by RNG and material resources, the following Legendary Aspects are very suitable for this build: Reanimation (Aldurwood in Scosglen) Grasping Veins (Corrupting Grotto in Kehjistan) Unyielding Commander’s (Faceless Shrine in Hawezar) Aphotic (Random Drop) Frenzied Dead (Random Drop) Occult Dominion (Random Drop) Shademist (Random Drop) Coldbringers (Random Drop) Sly Steps (Random Drop) Drop) Hardened Bones (Random Drop) The Great Feast (Random Drop) If players are lucky enough to choose between multiple aspects of gear, you should prioritize the following aspects: Hardened Bones, Occult Dominion, Frenzied Dead, Shademist, Coldbringers, and The Great Feast. Useful Unique Items The drop time of unique items may vary depending on the player’s luck. Here are some unique items worth equipping: Ring of the Sacrilegious Soul Deathspeaker’s Pendant the Mortacrux Ring of Mendeln Whether it is a novice player or an experienced player, Necromancer’s Minion build is an ideal choice for exploring the fifth season content. It not only brings an efficient upgrade experience but also allows players to enjoy the iconic dark fantasy atmosphere of the Diablo series. So, prepare your Necromancer, summon your Minions, and let’s go deep into the adventure of Diablo 4 Season 5 together!

With Diablo 4 Season 4 Loot Reborn update in full swing, there have been many changes to classes in the new season. Among them, Barbarian has more ways to play than ever before, but one of them is the most interesting. Barbarian has experienced many ups and downs in Diablo 4. In the past three seasons, powerful builds like Double Swing and Rend Barbarian destroyed the meta game. However, with Loot Reborn update, a new build has taken over, and that is Bash Barbarian. In this guide, we will talk about what makes Bash Barbarian so good, and all the tips you need to know to build this build. Basic Skill Unlike most builds, Bash Barbarian focuses on its basic skill, Bash. This build can clear the vast majority of seasonal content and defeat the new bosses introduced in Season 4. What’s more important is that Bash will deal damage and stun enemies every four hits. If you have enough Diablo 4 Gold reserves, you can also make it a powerful boss killer with the right upgrades. Speaking of upgrades, Bash has a mandatory upgrade mechanic, and there are two optional upgrades to choose from, including: Enhanced Bash: When you damage a stunned enemy with Bash, you will gain 20% of your maximum health as Fortify. Battle Bash: When you damage a stunned enemy with Bash, you will generate 5 additional Fury. Enhanced Bash can be used as a defensive skill, and Fortify will help you resist most attacks, giving you enough time to get out of danger. Of course, if you need extra Fury, Battle Bash can also meet your needs. Active Skills In addition, you will also need to fill your remaining skill slots. These skills are especially necessary before reaching the endgame. If you are surrounded by monsters, Leap is the perfect way out. If you don’t damage any units, Enhanced Leap will increase your movement speed by reducing the cooldown of skills. If you do damage the enemy, Mighty Leap will add a slowing effect when landing, ensuring that they can’t catch up with you. In addition, War Cry and Challenging Shout will increase your damage and damage reduction, respectively. Enhanced War Cry grants you Berserking. And Power War Cry further increases your damage when there are at least six enemies near you. Enhanced Challenging Shout grants you maximum health when casting, while Tactical Challenging Shout grants you Fury every time you are attacked. Then, Steel Grasp is perfect for taking down some troublesome enemies. Enhanced Steel Grasp makes affected enemies Vulnerable on impact. Fighter’s Steel Grasp grants us Berserking accordingly after we damage the enemy. Note that Wrath of the Berserker is the ultimate skill of this build. Prime Wrath of the Berserker grants you increased movement and Fury generation, and Supreme Wrath of the Berserker grants increased damage during Berserking every time you spend 50 Fury points. Passive Skills Usually, passive skills grant you various buffs, and passives are also divided into a key passive and several secondary passives that support your build. First, let’s talk about the key passive skill of this build, Unconstrained. It increases the duration of any Berserking effect by 5 seconds while increasing its damage by 100%. Since this build relies on Berserking and you being able to maintain its duration, Unconstrained fits perfectly with its buffs. Next, let’s look at the rest of the passive skills: Aggressive Resistance: Gain damage reduction when Berserking is applied. Battle Fervor: Every time your Brawling skill deals damage to an enemy, you gain Berserking effect. Booming Voice: This increases the duration of your Shout skills. Concussion: When using Bludgeoning 2H weapons skill, you have a chance to stun an enemy. This effect triggers on Lucky Hit. Counteroffensive: When your Fortify is over 50% of your maximum health, the damage you deal is increased. Guttural Yell: When you use Shout skills, your damage reduction is increased. Imposing Presence: This increases your maximum health by a certain amount. Martial Vigor: You have increased damage reduction against elite enemies. Wallop: When using Bludgeoning weapons skill, you deal increased damage to stunned or vulnerable enemies. Arsenal System Arsenal System is a unique class mechanic for Barbarians that unlocks when you reach level five. Each Arsenal choice will increase certain types of weapon expertise based on the weapons you frequently use. These expertises you gain will give you certain weapon bonuses. This is also a great way to increase Barbarian damage. For Bash Barbarian, the following expertise options are not to be missed: Two-handed Axe Expertise: You deal extra damage to vulnerable enemies. Two-handed Mace Expertise: You deal extra critical hit damage while Berserking. One-handed Sword Expertise: Your attack speed increases after killing a crowd controlled enemy. One-handed Mace Expertise: You deal more damage to stunned enemies. With these expertises, you can switch between multiple weapons to deal with different situations, so it will be valuable to always have these weapons equipped. Legendary Aspects The best Aspect choices for this build revolve around enhancing your Basic Skills. Aspect of Adaptability: Your Basic Skills deal bonus damage while your Fury is above 50%. Basic Skills also generate bonus Fury when your Fury is below 50%. Aspect of Disobedience: You gain armor stacks every time you deal damage of any kind. Aspect of Giant Strides: You gain a reduction in the cooldown of your Leap skill based on how many enemies you damage with that skill. Aspect of Might: After casting a Basic Skill, you gain damage reduction. Aspect of the Moonrise: When you damage an enemy with a Basic Skill, you gain Attack Speed ​​stacks. After gaining five stacks, you gain Vampiric Bloodrage, increasing your movement speed and the damage dealt by Basic Skills. Mangler’s Aspect: When you damage a Vulnerable enemy, you have a chance to stun them. Rapid Aspect: Your Basic Skills increase your attack speed. Vengeful Aspect: When you turn an enemy into Vulnerable, your critical strike chance increases. Unique Items Finally, let’s talk about some of the key unique items you’ll need to complete this build. First up is Paingorger’s Gauntlets. Every time you damage an enemy with a non-basic skill, you mark that enemy. When you use a basic skill on a marked enemy, the damage you deal is increased and affects all other marked enemies. On the other hand, Ramaladni’s Magnum Opus is also very key. With it equipped, you lose two Fury points per second, but in exchange, your skills deal additional damage for every point of Fury you currently have. That’s all you need to know about making Bash Barbarian worth trying in Season 4. Follow this guide and you’ll be able to find great ways to optimize your Barbarian and get the best power bonuses.
