Diablo 4 Season 7: How To Welcome Next Season? - Witchcraft’s Addition And Quality Of Life Updates

Dear Druid fans, have you prepared your best build in Season 9? If you are still hesitant, perhaps our build guide today can bring you new inspiration! Here we are going to share a reliable leveling build, which is Pulverize Druid Build. This is a powerful ranged build with amazing ranged damage and powerful defense. With this ranged play, you can go deep into the Pit and farm XP quickly. However, the flaws of this build are also obvious. Unless you specialize in Overpower and multiple Uniques, its single-target attack will always make you feel powerless when facing Pinnacle Boss. But overall, Pulverize Druid Build is still a great choice for leveling, and combined with our ultimate skill Grizzly Rage, Aspect of the Rabid Bear, and the new Rotting Lightbringer unique Two-Handed weapon, this is definitely Druid Build you should try in the new season! Next, we will explain how to build this build at the beginning of the season to bring you some more realistic game experience as soon as possible, and briefly share leveling tips so that you can reach the endgame and rush through Torment 4 as soon as possible! Let’s get started. Pulverize Buffs Before we dive into this build, let’s first understand the buffs that Pulverize gets, so you can clearly see how powerful this build is and why it is also very suitable for leveling. First of all, Pulverize’s base damage buff is now from 110% to 150%, which means that its attacks will be more powerful from the beginning. And when we put the first point into the skill tree, we get Enhanced Pulverize, and then Pulverize will trigger Overpower every 10 seconds. In addition, it now deals 30% more damage to enemies and bosses with Crowd Control. This is a vast change as it stacks more damage on top of our skills. We can then also upgrade it to Raging Pulverize. Previously it dealt 75% more Overpower damage and stunned affected enemies for 3 seconds, but now it will continue to crit enemies and gain an additional 20% Overpower damage. So, what does this mean? In short, the updated 20% extra damage applies to everything, which is better than just 70% Overpower damage. Aspects However, these buffs tend to work best with Aspects in the endgame. So, I recommend that you grab any Pulverize Aspects you can find early on, which can help a lot with damage and AOE at the beginning. Remember that Aspects you choose now are more focused on Utility than Offensive, so we can put them on boots or pets, which can also help us maximize damage. Although it’s not like using Offensive Aspects like Aspect of Retaliation or Aspect of the Changeling’s Debt on our gloves later on, which can greatly enhance the player’s offensive capabilities and increase damage, critical chance, or other damage-related properties, just these two Aspects can already help a lot with damage in the early stages. However, what I really recommend is Aspect of the Umbral, which helps you regenerate more Spirit. This way the build won’t be as slow as Spiritborn at the beginning, because this Aspect will give you more stacks of Spirit and Energy, which helps replenish Spirit as you deal damage. In addition, talents like Willpower, Maximum Life, and Attack Speed ​​are best for early leveling, so remember to pay attention to the seasonal questline as soon as possible to unlock and add new seasonal powers and gems, which help get more XP, equipment, and crafting materials. Overall, this build is very powerful in the early stages and is known for having a good start, and you shouldn’t have any big problems. Equipment Let’s talk about equipment. Keep in mind that gear will change throughout the season, so you’ll want to optimize it as the season progresses to get the most out of this build. This is of course only if you have more Diablo 4 gold, but if your budget is low, you can refer to our gear options for now. In addition, your gear should strike a balance between offense and defense. So, you can look for affixes such as Willpower, Maximum Life, and Armor on items like helmets, chests, pants, and boots, or all Resistance affixes on weapons, rings, and amulets. So, for Pulverize Druid Leveling build, the gear we recommend is as follows: Helm: Heir of Perdition Mainhand: Rotting Lightbringer Chest Armor: Shroud of False Death Amulet: Aspect of the Rabid Bear Gloves: Shockwave Aspect Left Ring: Ring of Starless Skies Right Ring: Aspect of the Rampaging Werebeast Pants: Tibault’s Will Skill Tree Next, let’s take a look at the skill tree. First, the base skill for this build is Storm Strike, which unleashes a chain of lightning that damages up to 3 nearby enemies and grants damage reduction for a short period of time. Our core skill is Pulverize, which allows Druid to transform into a powerful bear man and slam the ground, damaging nearby enemies. The upgraded Raging Pulverize is also a good defensive skill, which guarantees Overpower damage and increases the damage taken by enemies by 20%. Debilitating Roar has excellent damage output and provides some damage reduction. Upgrading it to Preserving Debilitating Roar will restore 6% of your maximum life per second for the duration of the skill. Poison Creeper is very effective in the early season, poisoning enemies to give us an advantage. The passive effect of this skill causes the vine creeper to deal continuous poison damage to the enemy, temporarily immobilizing them. Grizzly Rage is your ultimate endgame skill. Unlike other Werebear form skills, Grizzly Rage not only lasts longer, but also replaces all normal skills with Werebear form during the duration. Therefore, maintaining its duration is crucial for both damage and defense. Horadric Spells Finally, the new Horadric Spells in Season 9 are a key element to customize our build power. So for now, the best pairings in the early stages are: Catalyst Celestial Surge: Its periodic group effect is very powerful, and paired with Pulverize to maximize its AOE damage. Infusion Corrosive Vapor: When paired with Elemental Brand Gem, each of Pulverize’s attacks applies poison to enemies. Arcana Bloody Charm: Provides a significant Execute threshold to Celestial Surge and reduces cooldown on executions. Sapping Crux: Your Catalyst applies more Vulnerable damage for 3 seconds, +1 per level. Shifting Powder: Allows you to reach the movement speed cap very early. That’s it for this Pulverize Druid Leveling build, there are a lot of variations on this build, and you can definitely rework it to suit your playstyle and playstyle. But follow our recommended settings and you can definitely have a great ranged survival build in the early game!

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!

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.

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.

Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred DLC introduces a ton of enemies to defeat and loot to collect, and the roster of all-new bosses can demonstrate this point.

The primary weapon of this rookie boss is a big hammer. It’s slow to swing, but it hits hard. Also, watch out for its fire attack. Overall, it’s pretty easy to deal with. Abhorrent Manifestation Just like what its name has disclosed, this boss is designed as a terrifying horror. You will encounter it during “Enmity Rising” mission as you trespass Hollows part. Abhorrent Manifestation is primarily good at melee attacks. While it does less damage overall, it is noticeable that it is available to summon Minion Hollows for help. Nangari Deathworker You are gonna to meet Nangari Deathworker as you progress the quest of “Thrust into the Dark”. It features a giant Nangari, so it undoubtably excels in melee and AOE poison damage. If you want to win this fight easily, it is recommended to equip some necessary items that can offset this damage by spending some Diablo 4 Gold. Vesicator After slaying the first wave of Frothers, Vesicator will make an appearance in the form of a giant, hulking monstrosity of muscle and tentacles. You may encounter it on the radar of “The Heart of All Rot” quest. This monster is particularly excellent at attacking with its tentacled arms, which causes poison damage. In addition, it can also summon annoying Regurgitator minions to help him deal with some troubles. Awoken Dead On the way to complete “Fundament of Faith” mission, you can find this short and fat horror in Forgotten Chamber. In addition to some basic attack damage, Awoken Dead is also equipped with overwhelming lighting attacks to cast fatal damage. And Shambling Corpses will occasionally appear to help this boss. Ah Bulan, Mender Of Veils You may be surprised and astonished as you see this boss. Ah Bulan, Mender of Veils, is one of the most memorable bosses in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred DLC. You will meet this four-legged beast in Spirit Realm in the period of accomplishing “Across the Threshold” mission. Armed with a spear and shield, Ah Bulan is good at both offense and defense. He is available to cast stomping attacks and has two powerful clones accompanying him to provide assistance at any time. Eidolon Of Julian Eidolon of Julian is encountered in the quest of “Living Memory”. After searching Buried Chamber, you are required to fight with this towering red spirit.

He also has his army of knights to summon. Priestess Of Hatred Priestess of Hatred nestles in a befouled Clearing in Hierophant Pyre. You are needed to defeat her in “The Way Out Is Through” mission. She features A vicious, grotesque monster. Despite its size, it moves and attacks pretty quickly. Of particular note is blood magic, which features a powerful beam that shining the battlefield. Dread Captain Players will come to Seta O-Akha in the period of completing “In His Footsteps” mission. You will then engage in a fight with Dread Captain. With a massive pillar holding in his hand, Dread Captain primarily attacks with ice damage. In addition, there will be a Water Watcher that casts poison attacks from distance to support Dread Captain. Harbinger Of Hatred In the end, here comes the last boss in Vessel of Hatred DLC - Harbinger of Hatred. And you witness the strength of it during finishing “All Good Things” mission in Domain of Mephisto. Harbinger of Hatred features A malevolent dragon-like entity. During the fight, waves of enemies will appear in a small arena. This demon has 2 stages. It is recommended to use Akarat’s buffs to effectively resist. Harbinger of Hatred, as the ultimate boss, is inherently challenging. If you are absent of defensive skills or builds that can keep you alive or heal, then it is recommended to lower the difficulty to World Tier 1.
