Diablo 4 Season 7 Leveling Up Bug: Players Can Level Up to Max Level Almost Instantly!

Excited! The much-anticipated Season 9 Sins of the Horadrim is expected to enter Diablo 4 at 10:00 AM PST on July 1, bringing some new game mechanics, a significantly improved Nightmare Dungeons, and some changes to existing classes. Among the six classes at this stage, Necromancer has always been recognized as the top class by players with its super strong damage ability, both in leveling content and endgame content. Although S9 has weakened its Overpower, Soul Rift and Blood Wave to some extent, it is relatively stable overall. Therefore, choosing a stronger class from the beginning and picking some suitable build options for it will make your exploration in the new season more efficient. With that in mind, this guide will recommend some of the best Necromancer builds you can try, based on previous PTRs and recent developer updates and patch notes, as well as some things to keep in mind when using them. 1. Necromancer Builds Focused On Summon Minions The most popular Necromancer builds have always relied on summoned minions to perform dual attacks, and with the help of the exclusive Unique added to Diablo 4 Season 9, the effectiveness of this type of build will be greatly improved. What needs to be paid attention to here is that you need to change your minions from Skeletal Warriors and Golems to Skeletal Mages, so that they can be converted into Skeletal Arch-Mages with more powerful damage capabilities in subsequent difficult battles with Diablo 4 Gold. In this type of build, you can choose Ring of Mendeln and Blood Moon Breeches to match Skeletal Mages accordingly, such as increasing the attack speed, skill level and damage capabilities of the minions. But since Necromancer class itself has some poor survival attributes, you may need to put some Mythic Uniques in it to increase your character’s tankiness. Or use Horadric Spell combos added in Season 9 to improve this situation. Here are the ones I can recommend to you: Smoldering Ember+Bloody Charm+Fractured Core+Invigorating Helix and Cosmic Anomaly+Corpse Explosion, they will make your minions more and more, and the combat ability will become stronger and stronger. But the specific attributes and statistics may have to wait for the official release of the new season to be determined. 2. Blood Wave Necromancer Build Yes, you read that right. Although Blood Wave has been weakened a bit in this new season, it is still very stable and can be the focus of your attention. However, what I can recommend here is to try to use Blood Wave with Cosmic Anomaly. In this combination, the combination of Alien that can perform continuous explosions and Blood Wave skill that can deal extremely high bleed damage, making it extremely efficient at clearing out groups of enemies in Nightmare Dungeons, Helltide, and Infernal Horde. Additionally, choosing some Horadric spells that can increase your bleeding damage and attack speed will help your character smoothly and easily kill all low to mid-level monsters and bosses within a safe ranged attack area, allowing you to earn more loot. For the gear you can put in it, Kessime’s Legacy is a recommended option. Similarly, this Blood Wave Necromancer build will also need some Mythic Uniques to complete safe exploration objectives. 3. Blood Spear Necromancer Build Of course, Blood Spear with the same damage type is also an important skill you should pay attention to in Diablo 4 Season 9. However, to deal the most damage, you’ll need the help of Uniques like Memory of Indira, Path of Trag’Oul, and Face of the Undying. So it will cost a little more than Blood Wave in terms of the amount of D4 Gold invested. But this is not without a way out. You only need to use Smoldering Ember, Fractured Core, Bloody Charm, and Tranquil Stone to form your Horadric Spell to create a perfect combination of Bone Prison with strong control ability and Bone Spear with strong penetration ability. Thanks to this combination, you can see those enemies trapped in the solid Bone Prison in the battle, and then defeat them directly with those projectiles that are enough to disintegrate the enemy instantly. This process basically does not exceed 10 minutes, so you can use it as the most important rotation in the leveling stage where efficiency is more valued. 4. Necromancer Builds Focused On Damage Over Time This type of Necromancer Build seemed to be very popular before Season 5, but gradually faded out of the spotlight due to the changes in various skills and item attributes. However, the addition of Horadric Spells has brought this type of build back to life. For example, use Corpse Explosion skill with Decompose and Blight to cause a lot of continuous shadow damage, and then use a Horadric Jewel called Tyrant Bane to cause more continuous damage until the enemy disappears. This is very useful for kiting strategies when dealing with enemies or bosses with vigorous defenses and high health: you just need to watch the enemy’s attack moves at every step and dodge in time, and wait for them to slowly die. These are Necromancer builds worth trying in Diablo 4 Season 9 Sins of the Horadrim, which is expected to be released on July 1. And after the new season starts, here will continue to provide you with quest guides or build guides in S9 so that you can easily create a powerful build that suits you best. I wish you a happy game!

Every time you enter a new Diablo 4 season, you need to change your class and build selection according to their characteristics and other details while learning about the new content and gameplay as soon as possible. This is because different classes can fully play their strengths for different seasonal gameplays, and the game will also strengthen or weaken each class to varying degrees due to seasonal changes to ensure game balance. Although some players like to play their favorite/new classes first at all times, if you want to get enough Diablo 4 gold as soon as possible at the beginning of the season, the dominant class will be more suitable for you. Based on this, we will list the class rankings suitable for Season 9 for you from low to high based on the performance of the 6 known Diablo 4 classes. No.6 Druid To be honest, this class has been silent in Diablo 4 for several seasons, and it seems that this classic class is being forgotten by the developers. On this basis, it was still weakened in Season 9, which has to be said to be another blow to all Druid fans. Even Cataclysm Build that can make Druid fully play its role has become a bit mediocre in Season 9 due to the drastic weakening of overpower. But if you insist on playing this class, it is recommended that you utilize Epilepsy Petrified Druid Build or Poison Pool Druid Build. No.5 Rogue Perhaps the newly added unique item Deathmask of Nirmitruq helm will make you think that it can make Rogue shine again in Season 9, but just like Druid’s Rotting Lightbringer, although they bring more builds possibilities, the overall efficiency is not high. Take Deathmask of Nirmitruq as an example. On the basis of the weakening of the comprehensive Rogue mechanism, the utilization of this item requires too many resources, which requires too much of your farming ability at the beginning of the season. If you are already a skilled Rogue player or can get extra resources through other means, then you can try to experience Rogue through this unique item craft new build, otherwise Death Trap Build will be more reliable, or simply choose a better class. No.4 Barbarian From the overall performance of 2.3.0 PTR, Barbarian can clear more than 90% of the layers of The Pit through Berserking and Bleed abilities, which is undoubtedly a reliable boost for your resource farming after entering the endgame. Although these abilities may be weakened in the official S9, in general, the basic skill strength of Barbarian has been improved. Therefore, for insurance, you can also continue to utilize the classic Earthquake/Whirlwind Build in S9. Among all the enhanced basic skills, Lunging Strike is the one that deserves more attention. Its function is to cause more damage to the enemy by quickly closing the distance with the enemy, which is suitable for craft more interesting melee builds. No.3 Necromancer As the third in this ranking list, most of the classic builds of Necromancer can continue to play a role in the new season due to the overall enhancement of skills and mechanisms, such as Bone Spear or Blood Wave. As you know, due to the ability to summon minions in battle, Necromancer itself and most of the available builds have strong group combat power, and the clearing speed is also ahead of other classes. Since the core content of Season 9 includes two new dungeons, Horadric Strongroom and Escalating Nightmares, and they are also the source of many key items, Necromancer’s abilities will be useful for farming in them. No.2 Sorcerer Since the launch of 2.3.0 PTR, Sorcerer, has attracted more attention, even though it is not the best class of Season 9, and this is entirely because of Hydra Build. This build has appeared in the past, but its performance in Season 9 will obviously be better. As a summoning skill, Hydra can summon a three-headed hydra in battle to cause fire damage to the enemy, and you can continue to combine other types of skills to output more different types of damage to the enemy and attack the enemy from multiple angles. The reason why this class did not become the first place may be that the subsequent games will weaken it because of the excessive strength of Hydra Build. But to be honest, this is not necessary because Hydra Build has not yet reached the point of destroying the balance of the game. No.1 Spiritborn As a new class that has only been released since DLC, Spiritborn has caused heated discussions in Diablo 4 player community with its fresh abilities and outstanding strength from the beginning. Although it has been weakened since Season 7, its charm remains undiminished. The main damage output types of this class are thorns and poison damage, and the unique item Balazan’s Maxtlatl added in Season 9 allows you to output more of these two types of damage through related skills. Based on this, you can choose to craft new Spiritborn builds, or continue to utilize Quill Volley Build, both of which can be very good at clearing dungeon enemies and even solving bosses, making your Season 9 battle easier. The above rankings are only based on existing information, and there may be more changes in Season 9. Perhaps the weaker classes at the beginning of the season will also have the hope of becoming reliable in the latter stages!

In Diablo 4 Season 4, one of the major highlights introduced is the tormented bosses, which are torment versions of all the Uber bosses. These bosses offer greater rewards and present more challenging encounters. However, to summon these tormented bosses, players need Stygian Stones, which can enhance the excitement of the boss fight. How To Obtain? When it comes to obtain Stygian Stones, there are a few ways available. You can obtain a handful through the season journey, specifically in the last two chapters, which reward a total of 11 Stygian Stones. Completing Iron Wolves Reputation grind up to Level 18 can give you 4 Stygian Stones. However, this process is time-consuming and not very efficient for farming Stygian Stones. Players may gather around 1 and a half to 2 dozen of Stygian Stones through regular gameplay. After exhausting these initial sources, players are left with grinding the Pit, where the issue becomes apparent. Although expectations of Stygian Stones dropping deep in the Pit, they're elusive. Even after extensive grinding, Stones are scarce, with drop rates seemingly inconsistent across different Pit levels. While some players report finding Stygian Stones as early as Pit Level 50, others, like myself, have had no luck below Level 61. The drop rate doesn't seem to scale significantly with higher Pit levels. The rarity of Stygian Stones is a significant obstacle, hindering players from accessing tormented bosses as intended. The discrepancy between drop rates for Stygian Stones compared to other boss materials exacerbates the issue, leaving players questioning the intended design and seeking alternative methods to acquire these elusive resources. Low Drop Rate The drop rate for Stygian Stones in the Pit seems to be extremely low, roughly around 2% per time, equating to about a one in 50 drop rate. After countless runs, players like myself have only obtained a handful of these Stones, contrasting sharply with the abundance of other boss materials obtained from similar efforts. The introduction of tormented bosses was intended to ease the pain of repeatedly farming lower-level bosses like Varshan or Duriel. Despite the promise of enhanced loot from tormented bosses, the reality is disappointing. These tormented bosses don't yield more materials, making them less appealing compared to their normal counterparts. There is a noticeable difference in the drop rates between tormented bosses and regular Bosses. While larger bosses like Andariel and Duriel boast a 2% drop rate for Uber , smaller bosses only offer a meager 0.5% drop rate in normal versions. Even when multiplied by 5 for tormented versions, it only amounts to a 2.5% drop rate. This disparity undermines the notion of equal difficulty among tormented bosses deserves the developer's attention. The rarity of Stygian Stone creates a significant obstacle to our intended access to tormented bosses. Rectifying this issue and ensuring equitable drop rates across boss encounters would enhance the gameplay experience and promote diversity in boss farming strategies. Boss Farming For now, I can only recommend focusing on farming Uber bosses as much as possible with those Stygian Stones if you have any. It seems to be the safest in terms of Uber Unique drops, and the encounter is relatively easy compared to some of the others. However, you don't really want to farm Grigoire because of the lower drop rates and potential issues with materials. Instead, you should focus on farming Duriel as much as possible. That being said, the tormented versions are also a good way to obtain level 925 unique drops. However, with the changes to item power and the availability of 925 loot, it's not as critical as it was in the past. Tormented Grigoire versus normal Grigoire might give you an edge in terms of getting certain weapons, but it's not a significant concern anymore. Greater Affixes There's also another very strange phenomenon that maybe you have not noticed yet or heard yet. Every time you defeat one of those bosses on the boss ladder, the Unique that drops cannot have Greater Affixes. At least, I have not gotten a single item that has a Greater Affix that is unique from those bosses. But the normal , all these like Tibault's Will, Flickersteps and X'Fal rings, they all have zero Greater Affixes. So, that may be intended because the bosses are kind of like the easy way to get your build going, to get those that you may want for your build, but they just don't have Greater Affixes. This is kind of strange, so you can't really go find them and try to hope for like a really big drop or something like that. Final Thought I must express some disappointment in how low the Stygian Stone drop rate is. I expected to obtain more, not necessarily every run in the Pit. Especially when compared to the abundance of other boss materials dropping. It's impossible to catch up to those materials with Stygian Stones. This means I'll always have to go back and farm the low-level versions repeatedly, which is tedious and inefficient. I hope that Blizzard will reconsider this and buff the Stygian Stone drop rate, as well as the drop rates of all the tormented versions, to the same level. This would allow us to farm any of them and obtain Uber Uniques, as well as potentially acquire any other we may want from those bosses. Currently, it seems pointless to do anything besides boss farming, as it's easier and more rewarding than the other tormented bosses. This imbalance needs to be addressed.
