Diablo 4 Season 7 Item And Affixes: How To Choose Them?
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.

In the upcoming Diablo 4 Season 7 update on January 21, developers will bring new powers, new weapons, new pets and other Diablo 4 Items to players. It is not clear whether there will be new classes, but Witch Power will be the theme of this season. Overview Of Witch Power In the seventh season of Diablo, the creators brought 24 different witch powers to players. And these 24 witch powers are divided into four schools and two different qualities. Four schools: Eldritch witch power Growth & Decay witch power Psyche witch power Lost witch power Each school has a unique power, and the rest are Normal Powers. Players can carry up to 6 witch powers at a time, five of which are Normal Powers and one is a unique power. These witch powers will bring different effects to players, some of which enhance the player’s attributes, and some of which allow players to cause additional damage to monsters.

Diablo 4 Season 6: How To U ...
Diablo 4 series of games currently offers you 6 classes to experience, among which Druid is one of the classic classes. It is a master of controlling and using earth elements and has unique class skills and characteristics. In addition, after DLC adds more story missions and end-game content, you will find that the entire way Diablo 4 operates has undergone significant changes, which brings you new shocks in Season 6 - including the various class builds you rely on. On this basis, if you choose Druid as your class in Season 6, then we recommend that you give priority to Lightning Storm when choosing a build. Given its full use of the characteristics of Druid class and its adaptability to existing game mechanisms, Lightning Storm Build may even be effective in Season 7. Based on this, we will introduce you to how to use Lightning Storm Build in Season 6. Skills Applicable To Lightning Storm In Diablo 4 Season 6, no matter what class your character plays, the available skills are divided into active and passive types, and most builds are also centered on skills. As for Lightning Storm Build, we recommend you choose the following options and allocate the corresponding skill points for active and passive skills: Active skills: Mau-Enhanced: 1 Lightning Storm-Enhanced, Raging: 5 Earthen Bulwark-Enhanced: 1 Cyclone Armor: 1 Blood Howl-Enhanced, Preserving:1 Cataclysm-Prime, Supreme: 5 Passive skills: Predatory Instinct: 1 Iron Fur: 3 Backlash: 3 Ancestral Fortitude: 1 Vigilance: 3 Nature’s Reach: 3 Feral Aptitude: 3 Electric Shock: 3 Bad Omen: 2 Endless Tempest: 2 Neurotoxin: 1 Envenom: 3 Natural Disaster: 3 Defiance: 3 Circle of Life: 3 If you are a new player, you need to complete various tasks from the beginning in order to reach level 50 as soon as possible and earn enough Diablo 4 Gold and skill points. But if you are a returning player, you can choose to allocate many skill points from your Renown, or immediately upgrade to level 50 from the beginning. Of course, besides the skills we recommend above, you may find that you need to choose other skills in actual combat to help yourself progress in the skill tree, which is completely feasible. In fact, as long as you have the ability, you can reconsider the skills included in Lightning Storm Build. The Most Suitable Skill Casting Order When running Lightning Storm Build, you not only need to choose the right skills, but also make sure to use the skills in the most efficient order. Only in this way can the power of the skills be fully exerted. Here’s the order we’ve provided for you: Cyclone Armor Earthen Bulwark Cataclysm Lightning Storm Maul Blood Howl First, cast Cyclone Armor and Earthen Bulwark before approaching the enemy to make yourself harder to kill. Then use your ultimate skill Cataclysm to blast monsters or elites for tremendous damage, and then jump into the battle and hit them with Lightning Storm. Next, you can alternate between Lightning Storm and Maul, depending on your situation. For example, attack the enemy with Lightning Storm, then switch to Maul when your spirit is exhausted. If the battle becomes tense and the situation is not in your favor, immediately cast Blood Howl to transform into a werewolf and heal yourself while getting a damage boost. Best Spirit Boons In Diablo 4 Season 6, you can unlock 16 different Spirit Boons as a Druid, but you can only choose to equip up to 5 of them. When you use Lightning Storm Build, we recommend that you choose the following Spirit Boons: Deer-Wariness: Reduces damage from elites. Eagle-Avian Wrath: Gain more critical strike damage. Wolf-Calamity: Ultimate skills last 35% longer. Snake-Calm before the Storm: Magic skills cooldown reduced. Eagle-Iron Feather: Increase your maximum life. Paragon Glyphs For Lightning Storm When you reach level 60 in Diablo 4 Season 6, you will have access to Paragon panel to continue upgrading. And every time you unlock a Paragon node, your attributes will be improved, but eventually you will need to choose Glyphs for more substantial upgrades. In fact, as you progress, you will unlock more content. Based on this, we recommend that you choose the following Glyphs to maximize the potential of Lightning Storm Build: Level 15: Spirit Keeper Earth and Sky Fulminate Electrocution Level 46: Spirit Keeper Earth and Sky Fulminate Electrocution Best Mercenaries If you have experienced Vessel of Hatred expansion, you will find that the mercenary mechanism introduced since then has gradually become an important help for you to maximize the potential of the build. There are currently 4 mercenaries to choose from in Diablo 4. If you use Lightning Storm Build, you’d better prioritize hiring Varyana as the first mercenary and set her skill to Bloodthirst, which gives you a 25% attack speed increase. Then recruit Rahier and use his skill Bastion to keep yourself out of danger. How To Use This Build In PVP? In fact, PVP version of Lightning Storm Build is the same as PVE version, so you can use this build in PVP mode according to the above content and tips. However, if you want to make the operation easier, you can also make some adjustments as needed. I hope that through the introduction of the above content, you can use Lightning Storm Build more easily in Diablo 4 Season 6. In addition, if you enter iGMeet Discord, you will get some good game items through the game giveaway information there, which will be more helpful! Wish you good luck!Dec-11-2024

Diablo 4 Season 6: What Can ...
Diablo 4 Season 6 is currently underway, and some major updates have been made in the mid-season, aiming to adjust the gameplay and enhance the class balance to improve the player experience. The developers held an hour-long Campfire Chat live broadcast on November 12, 2024, detailing all the possible changes that players want to know about the second half of Diablo 4 Season 6. Mid-Season Update Patch Notes Diablo 4 Season 6 mid-season patch proposes solutions to class balance issues, enhances the abilities of some underperforming classes, and improves the excitement of activities and makes the gameplay more engaging. At the same time, the developers have publicly stated that the full patch notes will be released later this week. There will be more explanations about Season 7 in the upcoming PTR livestream. About Patch Notes The developer's lead class designer Adam Jackson said that until Season 7, the current strength of Spiritborn will not be adjusted, and players can rest assured about this. The patch to enhance the abilities of other classes will also be released next week, but the developers have also made it clear that the strength of other classes will not exceed that of Spiritborn. This is to avoid numerical explosions that exceed the scope of what the game can bear. Regarding these changes, the developers will release news again next week to discuss the relevant content of Season 7. Including possible weakening of Spiritborn, an increase in the drop rate of ancestral items, an increase in the rewards of Legion events crafting materials, and some changes to Runewords. At the same time, the developers also said that the long-awaited armory system, that is, the mechanism that can switch back and forth between builds like presets, may also be launched in Season 7. Highlights In The Patch Minor skill buffs for build diversity have been enhanced. Some Under-used skills have been slightly improved to provide new ideas for the creativity of all class builds. At the same time, the five core classes, namely Barbarians, Druids, Necromancers, Rogues, and Sorceresses, have been enhanced to a certain extent. While not as strong as Spiritborn, there are significant buffs to core skills, passives, and select Legendaries and Uniques. These changes have narrowed the gap between the original 5 basic classes and the new classes that old players felt after the release of Spiritborn. This also makes players more interested in developing the potential power of all classes instead of all flocking to Spiritborn. If you want to shine in the class you are interested in, then buy Diablo 4 Gold and developing a corresponding class build strategy will be your main goal. There are also power-ups for Shrines. Artillery, Blast Wave, and Conduit Shrines now scale with player level and paragon level, making them more impactful in the late game. On Runewords side, they now cost less to activate and are more powerful. Ancestral items have also received buffs, making them a key addition to any build. Upcoming Events Midwinter Blight event is returning, and with increased loot and limited-time XP rewards, this event will bring more Diablo 4 Gold and other benefits than ever before. This is important for players as everyone is working to improve their paragon level. At the same time, Mother’s Blessing Event update will also bring additional rewards to players. For some players who return to Diablo 4, they can enjoy Eternal Realm character boost. When they return to the game, they can have a character promoted to level 50 for free and unlock Altars of Lilith awaits, which is convenient for players to have powerful power at the beginning of the game. After Thanksgiving in the US, the developers will conduct a short game test for Season 7, that is, PTR, and many details will be announced in the live broadcast next week. This undoubtedly aroused the new interest of the majority of players. Let us look forward to what new surprises the developers will bring us.Nov-12-2024
