Diablo 4 Season 6: How To Get The Most Out Of Penetrating Shot Rogue Endgame Build? - Skills & Items

For a long time, Diablo 4 has provided players with a very immersive dark exploration experience, in which they can explore Sanctuary on their own and fight with many monsters and bosses with different attack mechanisms. But we have to admit that they may hinder your exploration process a little. Especially when Season 8 increases the difficulty of combat, even players with rich experience in exploration since the first D4 cannot guarantee that they will not die once during this season’s journey. Once you die too many times, your journey will be greatly affected, such as investing too much D4 Gold, resulting in insufficient resources to improve the effectiveness of the build, and spending too much time re-exploring the way to success will make you have a lot of negative emotions. In view of this, this guide will introduce you to ways to reduce deaths in the current Diablo 4 Season 8, which has increased the difficulty of a certain challenge, as well as some precautions that need to be paid attention to during exploration, which may allow you to advance the campaign or main quest plot more smoothly. 1. Picking Right World Tier Difficulty While the higher World Tier Difficulty you play in Diablo 4’s Sanctuary, the more rewards you’ll get, but the more challenging it is. If you jump into those higher tiers too early, your regular encounters can become a painful grind, even if you end up with higher-quality loot. But don’t stay in the lower tiers for too long, as this will cause you to miss out on a lot of good loot and Paragon progression. If you want to farm Diablo 4 Gold using the lower tiers, try to pick profitable monsters to fight instead of fighting them indiscriminately. When it comes to choosing World Tier Difficulty, the best approach is to move to World Tier 2 after you have mastered and mastered the core skills that are important to your build, and to World Tier 3 after you’ve completed all the main campaigns and have reached character level 50 or above, so that your risk and reward in D4 are balanced. 2. Rotate Skill Frequently Although there are some skills in Diablo 4 S8 that can be cast continuously and have huge damage capabilities, such as Lightning Spear and Quill Volley, which are very popular, and players also feel the fun of using a single skill to defeat some low-level enemies. But it is worth noting that most of the strongest opponents in the game require you to have enough flexibility to be defeated, and the window time brought by the long cooldown of skills is also something you need to pay attention to. Not only that, some elite monsters and Lair Bosses in this season will punish some characters with predictable attack patterns. So those skills, defensive abilities and debuffs with long cooldowns should be removed. For example, Sorceress needs to pay more attention to the damage reduction effect of Ice Armor instead of the one-button Fireball; Rogue needs to pay more attention to the burst control brought by Rain of Vengeance instead of blindly using Rapid Fire to cause negligible ranged damage to the enemy. Frequent skill rotation not only speeds up clearing by hitting targets quickly, but also helps you reduce the consumption of health and precious resources in those long-lasting battles.  In addition, you need to complete the key quests that each class receives at level 15 to unlock transformative talents and defining abilities, because they often determine your core play style in it and promote the coherence of the main story. 3. Manage The Pit Properly The Pit has always been the most challenging content in the endgame that D4 players are reluctant to mention, but the super-rich rewards it provides are also what players desire. This will prompt some players to choose to run The Pit levels that are higher than their own level so that they can directly obtain higher-quality loot. This is exactly the opposite. This kind of high-minded thinking will greatly increase your death rate in it and slow down your overall progress, but being too cautious is also not conducive to your farming of high-value items. Therefore, the most effective way to manage The Pit is to choose those that you can deal with concentrated groups of enemies in 3-4 minutes, and use glyph bonuses to increase your clearing speed or the quality and quantity of loot in it. If you choose and operate correctly, you can get a lot of experience points that can be used for upgrades and items with extremely high improvement effects every time you run The Pit. 4. Choose Right Build Pieces Many players currently advocate using high-level items to make a strong build, but this is not the case. For those who focus on offensive builds, a unique helmet that provides a 20% physical defense buff may not be as good as a regular helmet that provides a certain bonus to their core offensive skills. So, before you choose the right gear to put in your build or spend a lot of Diablo 4 Gold to upgrade them, please evaluate the equipment from the perspective of active skill bonuses and effective synergy between affixes, which will make you feel at ease even in the most difficult battles. The above are some specific methods that can help you reduce your death in Diablo 4 Season 8 and the key points to pay attention to during exploration. Of course, the game content will change accordingly after each season and even after each hotfix is ​​released, and the strategies you use in it also need to adapt to the times. I wish you a happy game!

In Diablo 4, the game content of the player is simply to fight monsters, gain experience and level up, and then continue to fight monsters. Of course, the real game situation is much more complicated than this process. I believe that many players have such a consensus that when you feel that your weapon has changed and the damage to monsters is not as high as before, and you know that you should change your equipment at this time. However, weapons and equipment are not good just because they are high in level. Players usually have to consider the type, affix and quality of items. Here is a brief introduction on how to choose your items. Quality In addition to the main quality, the quality in Diablo 4 also has two subqualities. You can think of the main quality as the rarity of the item. Main Qualities Normal Magic Rare Legendary Unique Mythic Unique Normal has no affixes, magic items have one affix, rare items have two affixes, and legendary items have three affixes and a Legendary Aspect. Unique items have four fixed affixes and unique powers and cannot be tempered or enchanted by Occultist. A Mythic Unique is similar to a unique item with the same number of affixes and unique powers, but more powerful. Subqualities Subqualities are less complex than the primary qualities, and there are only two types: Normal, and Ancestral. Ancestral items have a higher power limit than normal items. They also have at least one Greater Affix, and a maximum of 4 Greater Affixes. These affixes have a maximum roll multiplier of 1.5, making them the strongest affixes in the game. If you don’t like the affixes on an item, you can reroll them at Occultist with Diablo 4 Gold and materials. Item Diablo IV’s item system is modular, specifically divided into these four modules: Inherent Physical Characteristic: Physical Characteristics included according to the item type. Item Affixes: Contains different numbers of affixes depending on the quality of the item. Legendary Aspect: Powerful bonus of legendary items, which could be stored in Codex of Power. Unique Power: Unique power of unique items. Physical Characteristics Physical Characteristics are attributes assigned to the item type. This attribute is permanent and cannot be changed. However, the higher the item level, the higher the value of Physical Characteristics will usually become. Armor and Jewelry Fixed Characteristics: Amulet: +X% All Resistances Ring: +X% Resistance to All Elements, +X% Specific Elemental Resistance Helm, Chest, Gloves, Pants: Flat Armor Boots: flat Armor and choose one of them: Max Evade Charge(s)/Evade Grants X% Movement Speed1.5 Seconds/Attacks Reduce Evade’s Cooldown by 1.0 Seconds Weapon Fixed Characteristics Ax (1H/2H): +X% Damage Over Time Bow: +X% Critical Strike Damage Dagger: +X% Damage to Close Enemies Crossbow: +X% Vulnerable Damage Mace (1H/2H): +X% Overpower Damage Polearm +X% Vulnerable Damage Scythe (1H/2H): +X% Summoning Damage Staff: +X% Damage Over Time Sword (1H/2H): +X% Critical Strike Damage Wand: +X% Vulnerable Damage Off-hand Fixed Characteristics Focus: +X% Lucky Hit Chance Shield: Flat Armor, +20% Block Chance, + [25-45]% Blocked Damage Reduction, +80% Main Hand Weapon Damage, +Thorns Totem: +X% Lucky Hit Chance Weapons Although there are nearly 20 weapons in the game, not all classes can use them. Each class has its own weapons. Barbarian: 1H Axe, 2H Axe, 1H Mace, 2H Mace, Polearm, 1H Sword, 2H Sword Druid: 1H Axe, 2H Axe, Dagger, 1H Mace, 2H Mace, Polearm, Staff, 1H Sword, Totem Necromancer: 1H Axe, 2H Axe, Dagger, 1H Mace, 2H Mace, 1H Scythe, 2 H Scythe, 1H Sword, 2H Sword, Wand, Focus, Shield Rogue: Bow, Crossbow, Dagger, 1H Sword Sorcerer: Dagger, 1H Mace, Staff, 1H Sword, Wand, Focus Spiritborn: Glaive, Polearm, Quarterstaff Combining Physical Characteristics of weapons and equipment, you can know how you should choose weapons based on Physical Characteristics you need. If you like to knock out enemies with Critical Strike, then maybe Sword is more suitable for you. Affixes Affixes only appear on Magic, Rare, Legendary, and Unique items. Although there are a lot of affixes, they are not always useful for your class. When the player level reaches 15, you will automatically receive the quest “Tempering,” and after completing the quest, you can obtain Temper Manuals. Temper Manuals allows players to add Temper affixes to legendary and rare items to customize their equipment. Each item has a maximum of 2 slots for two Temper affixes. Adding affixes to items requires a certain amount of resources. You can enter Diablo 4 Items Giveaways In iGMeet Discord to participate in the lottery event in this channel to replenish resources. Here are the number of affixes each item can gain: Magic Item: 1 Rare Item: 3 + 2 Tempered Affixes Legendary Item: 4 + 2 Tempered Affix + 1 Legendary Aspect Ancestral Legendary Item: 4 (1 Greater Affix) + 2 Tempered Affixes + 1 Legendary Aspect Unique Item: 4 Preset Affixes + 1 Unique Power Ancestral Unique Item: 4 Preset Affixes (1 Greater Affix) + 1 Unique Power Ancestral Mythic Unique Item: 4 Preset Affixes (1 Greater Affix) + 1 Mythic Unique Power Legendary Aspects Legendary Aspects are special affixes that appear on Legendary items. Once you gain them, they are saved in your Codex of Power. There are two ways to gain Legendary Aspects. One is to collect Legendary Aspects from other Legendary Items, and the other is to obtain them through dungeons. However, please note that when you collect a Legendary Aspect from a Legendary Item, Legendary Item will be destroyed. Legendary Aspects are divided into five categories: Defensive, Offensive, Resource, Utility, and Mobility. Different equipment can only accept certain types of Legendary Aspects. You can use gold to assign Legendary Aspects to rare or legendary items at Occultist, but this method cannot make rare items legendary. Its number of affixes remains unchanged. Repair Each time the player dies, the durability of the equipment will decrease by 10%, which can be repaired at the blacksmith with gold. The above is the basic content about how to choose equipment in Diablo 4. Diablo 4’s forging system is relatively complex. If you want to create the strongest build, you must have a full understanding of this system.

If you want to maximize the effectiveness of your gear in Diablo 4, you must make full use of Tempering and Masterworking system in the game, which are aimed at offering you more agency and freedom in the aspects of item properties. Once you already have god rolls, you need Obducite to give it more power. As the main resource for Masterworking gear, Obducite is quite essential to level up your performance. Unfortunately, this item is pretty scarce, but it is still easy to operate if you know the specific location information and method. If you want to maximize the effectiveness of Legendary or Unique items like Wound Drinker, then be sure to collect enough Obducite and Masterwork them. This article mainly introduces the ways to get Obducite for your reference, and the difficulty of each game varies. It is undoubtable that the difficulties are proportional to the amount that you are gonna to embrace. Infernal Hordes Infernal Hordes serve as a great channel to get both gear and crafting materials. Players are required to fend off waves of demons while collecting Aether simultaneously, a kind of currency specialized in Infernal Hordes and is basically used to open chests at the radar of the activity. It is surprised to see one of these chests yield nothing but gem fragments Obducite. Therefore, by completing the Infernal Hordes activity, repeatedly joining in each run can easily get thousands of Obducite. In Infernal Hordes, Infernal Compass is an essential item, which can be obtained by opening Helltide chests and Tree of Whispers caches. Or to claim them by completing Nightmare Dungeons and The Pit. Nightmare Dungeons As long as you have a spare Nightmare Dungeon Keys, then a ton of crafting materials together with some decent loots are waiting for you to pick up. Comparing to Infernal Hordes mentioned above, the quests in this dungeon are relatively simple and easy to deal with. And the time you devoted in is comparatively short. So it’s understandable that it yields less Obducite. But generally speaking, Nightmare Dungeons are more profitable. Not only can players get equipment by defeating enemies and looting chests, but more valuable items can be embraced. For example, materials needed for summoning Diablo 4 bosses like the Beast in Ice. Kurast Undercity As a new dungeon that has been introduced in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred expansion, Kurast Undercity serves as the last best source in the game. This activity is unique because the specific reward objects can be chosen. Kurast Undercity activity offers players an opportunity to pick and choose what loot they get by the advantage of Tributes and Bargains system. As for Obducite farming, Tribute of Refinement is needed, which will award you Masterworking Materials once being successfully completed. Tributes are obtained randomly, but except for Tribute of Refinement, which can provide you with Obducite, other types of Tributes are not applicable. Therefore, if you make farming Obducite your main goal, you will inevitably invest more time and effort in this dungeon. Transmute At Alchemist If you don’t collect enough Obducite in the above three activities, it is recommended to convert directly. But the premise is that you have enough Ingoliths or Neathiron TO transform them to Obducite directly. But it can only be transformed in Eternal Realm. Obtainable After Reaching Level 60 As a late-game Masterworking material, Obducite is obtainable after reaching level 60. Completing various activities at higher difficulties will greatly increase your chances of obtaining Obducite. How To Use Obducite? As mentioned above, Obducite is mainly used to upgrade equipment. Obducite is quite essential to enhancing equipment affixes via Masterworking at Blacksmith. Equipped with enough Obducite and make an interaction with Blacksmith and switch to Masterworks Tab, you can upgrade your equipment. How To Masterwork Equipment? Temper Your Equipment The first step to masterwork your equipment is to temper it at any blacksmith. Depending on the level of the equipment, the number of tempers required varies. Common equipment only needs to be tempered for only one time, but Ancestral equipment required to be tempered twice to be Masterworked. After tempering, comes the role of Obducite that you have collected before. You can obtain it in the five ways mentioned above. Begin Masterwork Once you have the necessary materials, you can proceed to masterwork. Depending on the type, rarity, and level of the equipment being crafted, the amount and materials required will vary, so it is best to prepare more in advance. You can also reset the rank of any equipment you’ve Masterworked by clicking the red circle next to the item. This will cost you 30 Iron Chunks or Raw Hide, 20 Veiled Crystals, 5 Forgotten Souls, and 5,000,000 Diablo 4 Gold in total. It is important to note that Masterworking differs from the regular equipment upgrades of Blacksmith. Your equipment will not be improved by this, but only by adding affixes. Therefore, those who say that Masterworking will replace the position of Blacksmith are not reasonable. Masterwork mechanic can enhance the affixes on your equipment by 5% every rank.

Today, I'll be delving into the crucial topic of the newly introduced resources awaiting us in Diablo 4 Season 4. My aim is to provide a thorough breakdown of all the essential resources you'll need to acquire, along with the optimal strategies for obtaining them. Let's dive in! Obducite, Ingolith, Neathiron The first important resources that I want to discuss are Obducite, Ingolith, Neathiron. For that, you just need to run Pit of Artificers. From Tier 1 to Tier 30, you're going to receive Obducite. You just need to run it, and pretty much you're going to receive Obducite at the end. From Tier 31 to at least Tier 60, you're going to receive Ingolith. You can change to it and it will be in up to Tier 60. From Tier 60 and onwards, you're going to receive Neathiron, so everything further is pretty much Neathiron by itself. But here's a trick which is pretty important and which will help you to get it. If you go to The Alchemist, you can craft materials from them. So, for example, if you need a lot of Obite by itself, you can just craft Upthsite from Inth at a pretty nice rate. However, you will need to invest a large number of Diablo 4 Gold in the process. You can also craft Ingolith out of Neathiron. That way, you can get it from the highest resource. So, if you can farm Pit 60 and higher, it's much better to farm Pit Tier 60 and then just break your Neathiron into the lower levels of currency, both Obducite and Ingolith. So, Alchemist and their Transmutation part is your helper in that. Scattered Prisms So, the next set of resources I want to talk about is Scattered Prisms. These resources mostly drop from World Bosses. There are chances to get them randomly, but it's crucial to prioritize defeating World Bosses. A World Boss can yield 1 Scattered Prism, sometimes even 2, though typically it's just 1. Ensure you're not missing out on world bosses and keep your Scattered Prisms ready, as you'll need them to improve the socket amount on your items. If they do drop randomly for you, that's good too, but most of the time, it's from world bosses. Angelbreath Another resource you'll need to actively farm is Angelbreath. You'll require Angelbreath to consistently roll your items, which is crucial for ensuring they meet your standards. The best way to farm Angelbreath is during events in Hell Rift. You can receive up to 10 Angelbreath from completing normal events, which is a significant amount. So, participating in events during your time in the Hell Rift is highly recommended to ensure a steady supply of Angelbreath. Runeshards When we are talking about the Runeshards, we have a few options to farm them. Most of the time, if you need Runeshards immediately, you can just go and get them from Nightmare Dungeons. So, if you finish, for example, Tier 1 to 100 Nightmare Dungeons, you're going to get close to 15 of them, and that's a pretty nice decision. However, I think that it's much more efficient to just farm them from Tortured Gifts of Mysteries. For example, when you're opening them, you're receiving a lot of other items, and one of them will be Angelbreath. On top of that, you're also receiving Forgotten Souls, additional items, and pretty much Runeshards as well. Gemstone Fragments So, another thing which is pretty much important is farming fragments of the gemstones. Right now, unfortunately, there is no proper way to farm them, and they're just dropping everywhere. I also noticed when you're doing bosses like Grigoire and Varshan, for example, the monsters around are dropping a pretty significant amount. Some are also dropping from Blood Maiden, and Blood Maiden could be a decent option to get them. But generally, if you're just playing Diablo 4 Season 4, killing enemies, and running around, at one point, you're going to have enough fragments to pretty much craft all your stones. So, I recommend not to focus too much on them. Resplendent Spark So, the next question is where to get Resplendent Spark. Overall, you get Resplendent Spark from disassembling Uber Uniques. However, there are a few additional ways how you can get it. You need to kill all the tormented bosses, and you will be able to get it from them. You also will need to finish a quest line of this Season 4, and you will be able to get one spark too. On top of that, you're going to get one from Uber Lilith as well. So, all those ways together are going to get you some Resplendent Sparks. And if you drop some Mythic items. You will be able to just disassemble them for more if you don't really need them. Max 925 Gear The last part is about how to farm max level 925 gear. I just recommend to go for Blood Maiden kills, because Blood Maiden kills could be pretty fast if you have a lot of people with you, and she can drop a few oranges items at the same time. They almost always have maximum item power. If you follow these simple methods and get all these new resources. I believe you will find this guide helpful.
