Diablo 4 Season 6: What Are The Actual Test Results Of Rogue New Skill? - Dance Of Knives Overview
Recently, Diablo 4 S6 PTR is being explored and discovered by many players. Obviously, there are many new contents and gameplays in this PTR, including new Skills for each Class.
There are currently five Classes in Diablo 4, namely Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue, and Sorcerer. Although new Classes have been added to new PTR, there is no doubt that these five inherent Classes are still the main ones.
Among them, Rogue is one of the more popular Classes, and its new Skills in PTR are undoubtedly also curious about many players. In Diablo 4, Skills of each Class mainly include Active Skills and Passive Skills. Here, based on the various performances of Rogue in current PTR, we will mainly introduce you to Rogue’s new Active Skill.
New Active Skill: Dance Of Knives
Rogue’s new Active Skill in PTR is called Dance of Knives. As an Active Skill, it is also included in Rogue Class Skill Tree, is part of Agility Cluster, and belongs to Cutthroat Agility Skill. You can find and use it in the game through Icons in Skill Tree Menu.
In Diablo 4, you can upgrade Active Skills by consuming a certain amount of Skill Points. Starting from Rank 1, it can be upgraded to Rank 5. After effectively Enhance Dance of Knives, you can start upgrading it. After upgrading, you can get Methodical Dance of Knives or Disciplined Dance of Knives.
Note that you can only choose one of the two! So after upgrading, you need to choose the upgrade based on their characteristics and your own needs.
Methodical Dance of Knives means that when you stop Channel Dance of Knives, you can throw up to 12 Stun Grenades. Each Stun Grenades can cause 20% Weapon Damage to Enemies. However, the specific number of Stun Grenades thrown depends on the duration of your previous Channel Dance of Knives.
Disciplined Dance of Knives means that in combat, you can use Dance of Knives to cause 25% Slow to Enemies for 3 seconds, and each knife has a 20% chance to Pierce Enemy.
What Will You Gain When Channel Dance Of Knives?
In fact, Dance of Knives can help you move quickly and irregularly among many Enemies to confuse Enemies and make them unable to catch your movement trajectory. During this movement, you can also cause corresponding Damage to Enemies!
During use, Dance of Knives can have six Charges and a 1-second Charge Cooldown. If you make relevant optimizations, your Charge speed will be faster.
During combat, when you are Channeling this Skill, you can get a 20%+ Movement Speed bonus and a 10%+ Dodge Chance. In terms of Damage, it can throw Knives at Enemies near you. Each knife can cause 42% Weapon Damage to Enemies hit.
In addition, Movement Speed is also crucial for Dance of Knives Channel. During Channel Dance of Knives, you can get corresponding Charges for every 30 meters you move. This is actually an Enhancement for Dance of Knives.
Charges are essential for your effective Channel Dance of Knives. So in theory, if your Movement Speed is kept fast enough, you can keep Channel Dance of Knives.
Try To Combine Dance Of Knives With Other Skills Or Items
The power of a combination is always better than fighting alone. In Diablo 4, there are other Rogue Skills and Diablo 4 Items that Rogues can use. Using them in conjunction with Dance of Knives may also bring you unexpected surprise effects.
For example, previous Rogue Skills in Diablo 4. When you equip Daggers and Poison Imbuement them, it will give you a certain Damage bonus in combat. This will undoubtedly make you feel more powerful when Channel Dance of Knives.
There is a hybrid Poison Imbuement that allows you to cause 75% Damage Boost to Enemies every time you Crit in combat, thus bringing a certain Enhancement.
And if you also have Imbuements Concealment Skill when Channel Dance of Knives, then every knife you throw will cause a Critical Strike to Enemies. So if you can combine Dance of Knives and Imbuements Concealment and use them, theoretically, as long as you keep doing this, you can even get unlimited Critical Strike in this way.
In addition, you can also combine Damage effect of Dance of Knives with the help provided by other Skills and wearable Armors in the game to form a richer gaming experience.
For example, in PTR Key Passive Skill Victimized has been Revamped as never before. On this basis, combined with Charge feature of Dance of Knives’ Movement Speed, an effective new Build is formed.
Through this Build, Dance of Knives’ high Attack Speed and Lucky Hit Chances are Enhanced at the same time. This allows Build to fully utilize the advantages of Helmet called Heir of Perdition while maintaining high-intensity DPS. Thereby improving Procs played by Victimized. This means that you can form more effective Damage against Enemies in battle.
At this point, I believe you have a certain understanding of the features and usage of Dance of Knives. However, when you experience it in person, you will definitely get more unexpected gains.

Diablo 4 Season 8 New Conte ...
As the enlightenment of many players to action role-playing games, Diablo 4 has been going further and further on the road of constantly bringing new game content to players, and it will celebrate its second anniversary this fall. At present, D4 Season 8, which will be released on April 29, may give players a very big surprise first. The theme of this new season is Belial’s Return. As the name suggests, you will face off against Belial, Lord of Lies, a powerful opponent introduced from Diablo 3, and you can find very valuable items from the loot it drops, such as the many Legendary Aspects and Unique Items added in this new season. Although the developers have already released many announcements about this new season, and there have been multiple leaks on many player communities and social platforms, in this guide, we will give you a comprehensive overview of all the new game content that Diablo 4 Season 8: Belial’s Return will bring, and predict how they will change your exploration. New Season Story As with all previous season updates, players will experience an entirely new seasonal story in Diablo 4 Season 8. You must join forces with the two main characters (Seyeena, a retired Vizjerei sorcerer, and Jarius, a self-styled knight of the Cathedral of Light) to unravel the mysteries of the Sanctuary and hunt down Belial. Although each new season of Diablo 4 will launch a new game story, the story in this season is directly related to your main quest in the entire game, because in the official trailer Belial mentioned the information that Mephisto awakened in human form in Sanctuary, which gives players the opportunity to appreciate the evolution of the story while waiting for the next expansion of Diablo 4. In fact, this high correlation between the season plot and the main plot makes most players more willing to accept the long gap between expansions, and they are looking forward to the developers linking some of the side stories in the season plot with the expansion or the next season, which will make players feel that each part is weaving a bigger puzzle for the main plot, thereby deepening their interest in exploring it. Reintroduction And Rework Of Boss As just introduced, in this new season you will have a final confrontation with the reintroduced Belial, Lord of Lies, a monster with armored claws, three horns, and yellow eyes that glow like lamps. In the console version of Diablo 3, the player’s battle with Belial underwent some major changes in the third stage: the camera angle changed from above to directly in front of the boss. Although there is no guarantee whether this change will happen in the encounter between this monster and the player in this Diablo 4, I think this battlefield scene without an isometric perspective may scare all players and allow players to immerse themselves in this ultimate showdown. Note that to start this battle you will need to speak to Stranger next to Waypoint in Kyovashad’s city center to receive a quest log that includes this battle. In addition, you need to have completed all the main campaigns in the game and have a new character in Seasonal Realm. The most important thing to remember is that you need to spend as much Diablo 4 Gold as possible before taking on Belial so that you have a nearly perfect endgame build that will give you a better chance of winning and fewer deaths in this final encounter. In addition to the reintroduction of Belial, the developers have also made some improvements to some existing bosses in the game, for example, boss classifications will change from the previous Endgame and Ladder bosses to Initiate, Greater, and Exalted Lair bosses, which will increase in difficulty and rewards. In addition, the boss summoning materials that have been continued for several seasons will also begin to end. In this season, Lair Boss no longer requires materials such as Duriel Materials or Andariel Materials to summon, making its challenge much easier, but the amount of loot you get, such as D4 Gold after its death will also be reduced accordingly. Not only that, the loot it offers you will appear in the form of a Hoard, which you need to use the corresponding number of Lair Boss keys to unlock and claim - 12 for Initiate, 3 for Greater, and only 2 for Exalted. And now the locations of these Lair Bosses will also have unique map icons on the mini-map, and you can use the teleport function to directly reach the designated dungeon. New Mechanic: Boss Powers & Apparition Incursion Event Of course, Diablo 4’s changes to bosses go far beyond this: now you can gain powers from World, Event, and Lair Bosses after defeating them, including a primary skill that Boss previously used on you and a modifiable modifier. As far as we know, you can use up to four Boss Powers at once - one primary and three modifiers, all of which enhance your character’s abilities and improve your gameplay experience. While some well-informed action RPG fans will find these mechanics very familiar, it’s still quite shocking when the developers actually show players this mechanic in a cinematic trailer. In addition, the newly added Apparition Incursion Event, a periodic event, will bring some Apparition monsters with Belial mark into Sanctuary. You need to clear them all, no matter what difficulty level you are at. After you have cleared all the enemies and the progress bar at the bottom of the screen is full, one of 10 Apparition Bosses will appear and challenge you. New Battle Pass System: Reliquary After many players complained, the developers finally made a comprehensive change to the battle pass system in Diablo 4. Currently, you can choose the order and type of rewards you want to receive. For example, if you need weapons more, you can unlock Weapons Reliquary first, and then receive your season rewards in order. In addition, in the subsequent game process, Reliquary may also be associated with IP cooperation and some milestone events to launch some event Reliquary. They may exist for a short time, but their significance is extraordinary. Since Diablo 4 has made so many changes in Season 8, many players are looking forward to the impact of these changes, including many loyal fans of other similar players. In fact, I really hope that the developers will continue to maintain the frequency of such major updates so that players will gradually become more interested in its next expansion. I wish you a happy game!Apr-25-2025

Diablo 4 Season 8 Teleport ...
In Season 8 of Diablo 4, Sorcerer has been significantly buffed. Both boss powers and new unique items can help Sorcerer, making Sorcerer possibly the best class in Season 8. In Season 8, Sorcerer is very strong in two play styles, one is freezing and the other is flame. Teleport Burn Sorcerer is a build based on dealing a lot of fire damage to the enemy. With the addition of Boss Powers, it may become one of the meta builds for Sorcerer. Skills Primary: Fire Bolt (Rank 1): Fires a Fire Bolt that deals 18% damage and 44% burn damage over 6 seconds. Ice Armor (Rank 1): Creates a Barrier around you that absorbs 56% of your maximum health. Secondary: Unstable Currents (Rank 5): When you cast a Shock Skill, you will randomly cast a Core, Conjuration, or Mastery Shock Skill. Flame Shield (Rank 1): Over two seconds, burn nearby enemies for 40% damage. Firewall (Rank 1): Creates a Firewall that lasts for 8 seconds, dealing 230% Fire damage to enemies that pass through it. Teleport (Rank 2): Rush unstoppably to the target location, dealing 35% damage to nearby enemies upon arrival. Enchantments: Incinerate (Rank 1): Summons a beam of fire that deals 120% damage to enemies per second. Damage increases over 2 seconds, up to 162%. While channeling this skill, damage is reduced by 20%. Teleport (Rank 1): Dodge is replaced with a short-distance teleport with a cooldown of 17.0 seconds, and the unstoppable effect is removed. Fire Bolt and Ice Armor are the main damage-dealing and survival skills of Sorcerer. Fire Bolt can deal fire damage to enemies at a distance. Since Sorcerer has low health and armor, Ice Armor is needed to allow Sorcerer to withstand more attacks. You can learn these skills very early, and they allow you to safely and efficiently kill some early enemies. Therefore, this build is also very suitable for leveling and farming gold. Teleport is both a survival skill and a damage skill. It allows Sorcerer to transform into lightning and rush to the target location, dealing damage after arriving. This skill can not only allow Sorcerer to escape smoothly when surrounded, but also cooperate with Boss Power in Season 8. Boss Powers (Main) Sinerats Flames (Subs) Krima’s Sparks, Avarice Explosive ore, Andariels Flaming Skull Sinerats Flames is a Boss Power that can deal fire damage. When you use a Mobility Skill, you can deal a large amount of fire damage to nearby enemies. At the highest level, it can deal 1,540% Burning damage to nearby enemies over 4 seconds. Teleport is a Mobility Skill. Sinerats Flames can be unlocked at any difficulty by defeating Sinerat Apparition in Apparition Incursion event. It is a Magic Boss power and requires relatively few materials to upgrade. Therefore, you can basically complete Teleport Burn Sorcerer build early in the game. If you find skills that work better with Boss Powers in Season 8, you can always change Boss Powers and reset your skill points with gold. Equipment Helm: Harlequin Crest Chest Armor: Shroud of False Death Gloves: Aspect of Engulfing Flames Pants: Snowveiled Aspect Boots: Aspect of the Orange Herald Weapon: Aspect of Conflagration Amulet: Aspect of Creeping Death Ring 1: Aspect of Inner Calm Ring 2: Tal Rasha’s Iridescent Loop Offhand: Conceited Aspect Two-handed weapons can bring higher DPS to this build, but using one-handed weapons can provide extra CD time for the off-hand weapon. You can choose which weapon according to your habits. The above methods of obtaining weapons and equipment are not too difficult. Except for Shroud of False Death and Harlequin Crest, which are Ancestral Mythic Uniques, the others are basically some aspects. You need to find The Occultist, extract the unique effects from the items, and then put these Aspects of the weapons and equipment you need. This process will consume some Diablo 4 Gold. If you plan to replace these equipments, then you need to focus on finding items with the following affixes: Reduce Skills Cooldown Increase Fire Damage Increase Attack Speed Items with these affixes are the best for this build, and you can use them before you get the best equipment and weapons. Active Runes Armor Cir: Magic Rune of Ritual, release 5 Skills will fatigue 3 seconds. Ohm: Legendary Rune of Invocation, summon Barbarian’s War Cry Skill, increase your damage by 15% in 6 seconds, CD time 2 seconds. Weapons Igni: Legendary Rune of Ritual, store an Offering every 0.3 seconds, and also store an Offering when releasing Basic skills, up to 500. Qax: Rare Rune of Invocation, the next Non-Basic Skill will consume Primary Resource, causing up to 100% additional damage. Gems Weapon: Amethyst Amulet: Skull Armor: Topaz Ring 1: Skull Ring 2: Diamond Gems can bring you a lot of gains, and the above gems are the most suitable for Teleport Burn Sorcerer Build. The above is the general content of Teleport Burn Sorcerer build. Since Season 8 has not yet been officially launched, this build is built based on the content of PTR 2.2.0. After Season 8 is officially launched, you can make adjustments.Apr-07-2025

Diablo 4 DLC: How To Get Ne ...
In the first expansion of Diablo 4, Vessel of Hatred DLC, a lot of new content has been added, such as new mechanics and new classes. But the most important thing for players to spend time researching is Runewords system, because it is not in the previous base game, and it can add a huge power boost to your character and gear. In Runewords system, the most important thing must be Runes. It is scattered all over the game, but you need to look carefully at it. This guide will introduce you to some methods to obtain these precious Runes and their specific uses. How To Farm Runes? There are many ways to get more runes in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred, some of which are very easy, but some are very difficult. Although most methods have a sense of randomness, there are ways if you want to guarantee a certain rune. World Bosses Drops The easiest and most common way to get Runes is by defeating World Bosses, as they appear from chests or loot provided by enemies. Because of the randomness of farming, you should try to farm in places with a high density of enemies, such as The Pit or Helltides. Or you can challenge some higher difficulty enemies, such as directly challenging the enemies in Torment Difficulty Tiers. But it should be noted that you need to use Diablo 4 Gold in advance to make your build strong enough so that there will be no waste of resources or materials, and it is possible to get numerous Runes at once. Alternatively, you can also try to challenge some enemies with a lot of excellent loot in the new Kurast Undercity. They are also very worthwhile. Crafting Runes In addition to the above random methods of obtaining runes, you can also obtain some specific runes through crafting. You need to use three runes of the same rarity and craft different types of rarer runes at Jeweler. Of course, you can also use the crafting system at Jeweler and the runes you have to craft other Diablo 4 Items, such as Mythic Uniques that can provide you with very large buffs and very rare Resplendent Sparks. This means that you can get multiple Resplendent Sparks in this expansion and the current season of the base game of Diablo 4 - from Tormented Bosses, from Lilith, from the reputation system, and from this crafting system. Trade With Other Players In addition to the above two self-reliant methods, you can also trade the runes you want with other players, which will make you more sure that you can get the runes you want. But here, I need to remind you that trading is risky, so please always be vigilant. What Are Runes For? There are tons of runes available in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred DLC, and they are divided into two categories: Runes of Invocation and Runes of Ritual. When you combine one of the two rune types together, these runes form Runewords. You can then insert them into any weapon, item, or gear piece with two slots. Rune of Ritual can generate resources called Offerings, which are used to trigger Runes of Invocation. This means that you need to have enough Offering for Runes of Invocation to work, and the stronger Invocation, the more Offering you need. The opposite is also true: the harder Rune of Ritual is to obtain, the more Offering they will generate, and the stronger the effect. So in short, only high-level or rare Rune of Ritual will make the entire Runewords have the strongest effect, which means that the build you put in will also become stronger. The following is the number of Offerings each Rune of Ritual can provide and the number of Offerings each Runes of Invocation requires. You can choose the corresponding rune combination based on this list, and the attributes of the items you want to equip. Runes Of Ritual Ahu - 10 Bac - 50 Cem - 50 Cir - 25 Feo - 1000 Kaa - 2 Lith - 25 Moni - 10 Neo - 300 Noc - 5 Poc - 2 Tam - 25 Ur - 10 Xol - 150 Yax - 100 Yul - 50 Zan - 150 Runes Of Ritual Ceh - 100 Eom - 100 Gar - 25 Jah - 500 Kry - 500 Lac - 800 Lum - 5 Met - 100 Mot - 150 Ner - 700 Ohm - 500 Ono - 25 Qax - 400 Qua - 400 Tal - 100 Teb - 100 Tec - 100 Thul - 400 Ton - 25 Tun - 100 Tzic - 250 Vex - 400 Wat - 100 Xal - 200 Xan - 700 Yom - 500 Zec - 200 There are currently three rarities of Runes - Magic Runes, Rare Runes and Legendary Runes. And each will increase the power and ability of Runewords according to its rarity. But here you need to be reminded that no matter how many slots you have in your weapon or other items, you can only equip a maximum of two Runewords at a time, which is 4 Runes. These are the methods to obtain and use runes in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred DLC. You may need to try this combination of Runewords yourself, or you can also find combinations shared by other players in player communities such as iGMeet Discord. Most importantly, you will have a chance to get some Diablo 4 Gold or other rare items. Have fun playing the game!Oct-22-2024

Diablo 4 Season 6: How To P ...
In the eager anticipation of many players, Diablo 4 Season 6 will be launched on October 8. Facing new Season, in order to respond to the various preparations made by players, the game makers have prepared a wealth of new gameplay and new Events to satisfy players. Among them, new Event Realmwalker Event is quite worth playing. As a new Event in a new Season, there are undoubtedly some key points that players need to pay attention to when participating in it, especially Main Mechanism of Event. Based on this, we introduce relevant Event Mechanism and the main gameplay for players: Basic Information About Diablo 4 Season 6 Before participating in Realmwalker Event, since this is an Event in Season 6 Hatred Rising, you must have a basic understanding of Diablo 4 Season 6 in order to better participate in related Events, so as not to waste some Diablo 4 Gold in the game process. Similar to Blood Harvests of Diablo 4 Season 2, Diablo 4 Season 6 uses a zone Event approach when planning some Events, such as Realmwalker Event. Zones of Hatred Rising use green Demon’s Head Icon on Map to represent these Events. In a sense, they also represent Corrupted Minions of Mephisto. In Zones of Hatred Rising, random Portals are generated, filling corresponding Area with swarms of Enemies, who will Attack you when you enter Area. Some of these Enemies will be enhanced by hatred, making them more difficult to Defeat than normal Enemies you encounter. Although they are not very threatening and harmful, they cannot be directly Defeated by optimized Builds because of their sturdiness. Of course, if you want to join Realwalker Event, you need to enter these Zones of Hatred Rising. Deep in these terrifying Zones, hide terrible new Enemies waiting for players to conquer and Kill them. Basic Information On Realmwalker Events When you start exploring Zone of Hatred Rising corresponding to an Event in the game, you will enter corresponding Portal. In fact, these are just a small part of Hulking Realmwalker that has Burrowed itself in Ground. At Specified Time Interval of the game, Realmwalker will Wake up from its Slumber, and then it will slowly Move through Zone of Hatred Rising. The main goal of the players is to kill Realmwalkers, but they are invincible for mostly when they pass through Zone of Hatred Rising, and even swarms of Enemies will spawn. So before Killing Realmwalkers, the player must first kill these Enemies. After these Enemies are killed, a meter will be filled, which will cause Realmwalker to summon Elite Enemies known as Bloodbound Guardians. However, the good thing is that after Defeating Bloodbound Guardians, most of Life of Realmwalkers will be consumed to a certain extent. When Realmwalker reaches the end of its Journey, you will have a Boss Battle with it. The difficulty of Battle depends on how many Bloodbound Guardians you manage to Kill on the way. If you manage to Defeat Realmwalkers, you will enter Portal on its back. After that, you will enter Seething Realm. Traversing Seething Realm In fact, Seething Realm is like a bonus Dungeon for Realmwalker Event. Because if you have Defeated Realmwalkers and Minions they spawn before, you will not have much trouble in Seething Realm. Seething Realm is divided into two floors. After passing through the first floor, you will reach Realm Gate, where you can choose what kind of Rewards you want to get on the second floor. By trading a certain amount of resources such as Murmuring Obols, you can choose Gold, Materials, Equipment, and Socketables as main Rewards. After that, you will fight Enemies that will drop these Rewards in the second floor, and then reach the last Area of Seething Realm. After fighting more Enemies, you can get an open Radiant Chest there. The most important Prize is Seething Opals. What Seething Opals Do? Boiling Opals work very similarly to Elixirs in Diablo 4. They are consumables that provide you with many Standard Buffs and change Drops from Enemies based on the type of Opals you consume. Each Boiling Opal lasts for 30 minutes and Triggers the following effects: Enemies Drop Rewards based on the type of Opals. Killings accumulate Reputation with Zakarum Remnants. Players gain 15% Increased Experience. By choosing which Realm Gate to cross in Seething Realm, specific types of Seething Opals will be Dropped. Seething Opals of Torment, for example, will Drop Boss Summoning Materials for Tormented Bosses. Also, if you have Vessel of Hatred expansion, Seething Opals of Socketables will cause Enemies to Drop new Runewords. This gives you a chance to try to Craft Runewords you want. To maximize the value of Seething Opals, you’ll want to use them before entering a Helltide or beginning a Realmwalker Event. This will allow you to face large numbers of Enemies with a high frequency of Enemies Dropping Rewards you want. That’s all for the main content of Diablo 4 Season 6 Realmwalker Event, as well as some of the key points for participating in it.
