Diablo 4 Season 8 FireQuake Barbarian Endgame Build: How To Build It?
In Diablo 4 Season 7, Quake Barbarian Build was one of the best Barbarian builds, and Barbarian was not nerfed much in Season 8, so this build will still be playable in Season 8.
In Season 8, since Witch Powers will be removed and Boss Powers will become the new Season Powers, Boss Powers can bring additional power to each class. FireQuake Barbarian Endgame Build is based on Boss Powers and makes some improvements to Quake Barbarian Build.
Pros And Cons
Pros:
- Can quickly clear monsters
- Can cause high damage in a large area
- Fun to play
Cons
- Need to wait for cooldown
Skill Selection
Primary:
- Lunging Striker (Rank 1): Dash forward and attack the enemy for 33% damage.
- Ground Stomp (Rank 5): Slam the ground for 112% damage and stun nearby enemies for 3 seconds.
Secondary
- Rallying Cry (Rank 1): Send out a rally call. Within 6 seconds, your movement speed increases by 30%, resource generation increases by 40%, and allies are also affected within 3 seconds.
- War Cry (Rank 5): Damage increases by 21% within 6 seconds after releasing the skill, and allies are also affected within 3 seconds.
- Challenging Shout (Rank 1): Gain 40% damage reduction and taunt nearby enemies.
- Call of the Ancients (Rank 5): Summons three Ancients to aid you in combat. While active, you gain 40% movement speed and 20% ranged damage reduction.
Challenging Shout and Rallying Cry provide Barbarians with great survivability, while War Cry increases damage. After casting Challenging Shout, use Ground Stomp to easily defeat a large group of enemies.
You can also replace Lunging Striker with Leap, which is also very fun, but it will take you some Diablo 4 Gold to change skills.
The best choice for Weapon Techniques for this build is Two-Handed Axe Specialization, which applies vulnerability to enemies and helps increase damage.
Boss Powers
- Andariel’s Flaming Skull (Legendary Boss Power)
After standing for 1 second, Barbarian summons a skeleton that lasts for 4 seconds. It will spin around you and spit fire, burning enemies for massive fire damage over 3 seconds. The burning effect increases the damage of damage over time effects against enemies. For 5 seconds after activating Boss Power, all other attacks of Barbarian will burn enemies, dealing massively more damage over 3 seconds.
Andariel’s Flaming Skull is a Boss Power that is used as Main Boss Power. It is the main source of fire damage in FireQuake Barbarian Build. It is a Legendary Boss Power that requires you to kill Andariel in season 8 on Torment to unlock it, and it takes a lot of time to upgrade this power to the highest level. This is why this build is an end-game build.
But as a Legendary Boss Power, the increase it brings is also amazing. The continuous damage caused by burning, combined with the fast attack speed and multiple earthquakes and shouts, stacks burning on the enemy. Most enemies cannot withstand the damage of Barbarian’s attack, and they will be torn apart like paper.
Gears
- Helm: Ugly Bastard Helm
- Chest Armor: Aspect of Might
- Gloves: Fists of Fate
- Pants: Aspect of Bul-Kathos
- Boots: Ghostwalker Aspect
- Slashing Weapon: Vehement Brawler’s Aspect
- Bludgeoning Weapon: Aspect of Earthquakes
- Dual-Wield Weapon 1: Aspect of Creeping Death
- Dual-Wield Weapon 2: Aspect of Elements
- Amulet: Rapid Aspect
- Ring 1: Bold Chieftain’s Aspect
- Ring 2: Aspect of Inner Calm
If you need to maximize the damage output of Barbarian, then this build has high equipment requirements. The best helm is Ugly Bastard Helm for this build, because this helmet can reduce the cooldown of key skills and can also cause fire damage. And Fists of Fate can increase your critical hit chance and attack speed, etc. This unique equipment is very versatile and can bring moral improvements to each class.
Other Aspects are legendary Aspects that you need to obtain by disassembling Legendary Items and clearing dungeons. It may take some time to find all the required legendary aspects, but Barbarian is very fast in clearing dungeons and farming Gold, so don’t worry.
In addition, if you get The Grandfather, then this Ancestral Mythic Unique Two-Handed Sword is also suitable for this build, you can use it.
Rune
- Cir (Rune of Ritual) + Lum (Rune of Ritual)
- Moni (Rune of Ritual) + Tec (Rune of Invocation)
Rune is equipped with your weapon, and Rune can only exert their power after combining. These Runes can mainly help you save resources and speed up the release of skills.
Gems
- Weapon: Amethyst. Increases continuous damage by 48%
- Armor: Ruby. Increases 60 Strength Attribute
- Amulet: Diamond. Increases elemental resistance by 12%
- Ring 1: Diamond. Increases elemental resistance by 12%
- Ring 2: Diamond. Increases elemental resistance by 12%
Mercenaries
- (Primary) Subo: Seeker, Wire Trip, Cover Fire
- (Reinforcement) Raheir: Bastion, Lunging Striker
You can use gold to hire mercenaries. They can resist monster attacks on you and control them at the same time. Don’t ignore their role.
The above is the general content of FireQuake Endgame Barbarian Build. You can also adjust the skills yourself. LeapQuake Barbarian Build is also a very entertaining way to play, but it is not very suitable for Andariel’s Flaming Skull. But if you want to play easily in season 8? Then try this build.

Diablo 4 Season 7 Best Barb ...
In the season change of Diablo 4, the build you use in the game will be divided into leveling builds and endgame builds according to different end goals. The criterion for judging the best leveling build is that your character levels up very quickly. But unfortunately, even in Season 7, Barbarian still upgrades very slowly, which makes it very difficult to make the best Barbarian leveling build. However, due to its enhanced attack ability in the current season, you can enhance its killing speed and mobility through some of the build options you choose for it, making this build more powerful. To cut down on the cost of time and energy spent on crafting your build, this guide will show you the right skills and gear to place in your best Barbarian leveling build, so that you can target farming for these specific items or attributes during the exploration process to achieve your goal of getting into the endgame stage faster. Best Barbarian Leveling Build Overview In fact, the best Barbarian leveling build in the current season is a variation of Bleed Thorns Barbarian build, which is more suitable for clearing regular enemies or monsters during the leveling stage rather than difficult boss encounters. And in the improved Barbarian build, the ability to clear large groups of monsters will be greatly increased, which is very suitable for leveling stages that need to farm a lot of experience points and Diablo 4 Gold. Active Skills As just introduced, in this best Barbarian leveling build, all you need to focus on is the damageability of Barbarian in the process of clearing enemies and maps, especially Thorns with a lot of continuous damage. So when you choose active skills for it, please prioritize skills that can cause more damage to Thorns, and then skills that can effectively control groups of enemies. Here are some active skills that can be recommended for you. Flay Rend Challenging Shout Rallying Cry Rupture Wrath of the Berserker With the skill points you have, you only need to maximize Rend and Wrath of the Berserker, as they provide more and better benefits to your build. The rest of the skill points can be used to invest in your passive skills or upgrade them to higher levels to obtain any other active skills that are useful for your build. Passive Skills Again, when picking passive skills, you also need to focus on those that can increase your Thorns damage. The rest of you can choose passive skills in the order to improve offensive ability, defensive ability, and quality of life. Here are some passive skills recommended for you and some specific skill points. Endless Fury Imposing Presence Belligerence Outburst Tough as Nails Swiftness Thick Skin (1/3) Defensive Stance Counteroffensive Pit Fighter No Mercy Heavy Handed Gushing Wounds Two passives to look out for here are Outburst and Tough as Nails, which can significantly increase your Thorns damage, especially when you have a lot of max health. Also worth mentioning is Gushing Wounds, which increases your bleed damage in proportion to your build’s critical hits, making it easier to get a one-hit kill. But if you don’t care about critical hits, you can also replace it with Barbed Carapace, which will increase the damage of your already very powerful Thorns in your build. Witchcraft Powers Once you enter Season 7, you will be amazed by the 25 different Witchcraft Powers available to you this season. You can use them to make your build more powerful offensively and defensively, and for the current best Barbarian leveling build, you can choose from the following powers. Aura of Siphoning: It poisons all nearby enemies, and when upgraded, the siphon aura heals you when you deal damage. Shaken Soul: Eldritch power applies Vulnerability to enemies, and when upgraded, this effect is also applied by Psyche and Growth & Decay powers for half the duration. Aura of Misfortune: Slows down non-boss enemies. Upgrading it will increase your movement speed, potentially making you immune to attacks from nearby enemies. Hex of Whispers: Every 5 seconds, inflict a Hex of Whispers on the next damage dealt. The target takes shadow damage and passes Hex to another target. Soul Harvest: When you use the cooldown, you get a bonus Primary Core Stat for each nearby enemy. Vengeful Spirit Savant: Every some seconds, you summon a Vengeful Spirit that lasts for some seconds. This spirit absorbs all damage you take. Since Occult Gems, another new Diablo 4 Items in this season, can only be crafted in the endgame, we won’t be covering the gems that can be put into an optimal Barbarian endgame build here. Gear Like the skills you choose for this optimal Barbarian leveling, the build you pick here will also be centered on increasing Thorns and Bleed damage. Here are the recommended items to put in each gear slot, but be aware that some Uniques and Legendary Aspects will require you to spend a lot of time and Diablo 4 Gold to farm. Aspect of Might - Helmet Aspect of Disobedience - Chest Armor Aspect of Anger Management - Gloves Undying Aspect - Pants Craven Aspect - Boots Aspect of Inevitable Fate - Amulet Aspect of The Umbral - Ring 1 Aspect of Berserk Fury - Ring 2 Needleflare Aspect - 2H Bludgeoning Aspect of Burning Rage - 1H Weapon 1 Vehement Brawler’s Aspect - 1H Weapon 2 When you have all the above gear in your build, they will work perfectly with Witchcraft Powers you chose: you will always be Berserking and Fortified, and your movement speed will always be increased. More importantly, enemies will always be Vulnerable, which will make your other damage types more powerful. That’s all the skills and gear options for making an optimal Barbarian leveling build in Diablo 4 Season 7. Hopefully, with the help of the items and skills in this guide, you can get through this very long stage faster and challenge the bosses in the endgame stage as soon as possible. By the way, if your progress in D4 is very slow or even stagnant because of lack of gold or items, you can use the giveaway channel in iGMeet Discord to get some gifts, which may make your exploration more comfortable. Have fun playing!Feb-09-2025

Diablo 4 DLC: How To Use Fo ...
With the increasing popularity and discussion of Diablo 4 DLC Vessel Of Hatred among the player community, the content of this Expansion has been almost developed by the majority of players. Nevertheless, as a DLC expansion with rich content, there are still a few Items’ information in Vessel Of Hatred that are not known to most players. And this may undoubtedly affect the players’ strength in Battle. Because some Items in the game can provide Combat benefits for players, to kill more enemies and get more Diablo 4 Gold Dropped. Forgotten Souls is such an Item. Especially for the new Class Spiritborn in Vessel Of Hatred, Forgotten Souls can help them maximize their Combat capabilities. So if you want to experience Spiritborn to the fullest, you’d better know how to farm Forgotten Souls. Based on this, we will introduce you to the relevant information about Forgotten Souls and how to obtain it. What Is Forgotten Souls? In fact, Forgotten Souls is a Salvaged Material in Diablo 4 series. At present, the game makers have not made it clear what kind of Material it is in the game. Players usually guess that it is a mixture of stone or various different objects. Salvaged Material is usually a game Material obtained by recycling various Crafting parts in Items. They can be used to Upgrade Armor, Weapons, and Jewelry, as well as re-roll stats or create Sigils. Forgotten Souls are no exception. Therefore, it can be seen that Forgotten Souls will play a big role in the game. How To Farm Forgotten Souls? Currently, the way to get Forgotten Souls in Vessel Of Hatred is mainly to participate in Helltide Event, and other methods are supplementary. The following will introduce these methods to you. 1. Participate In Helltide Event If you want to get Forgotten Souls in this way, it is not as simple as participating directly. You must find some specific places in the process of completing Event before you can find Forgotten Souls. In addition, if you want to increase the probability of obtaining Forgotten Souls in Helltide Event, you can try to increase World Tier Difficulty in the game. According to some player feedback data, Torment IV is the best Difficulty Level for obtaining Forgotten Souls. However, if you want to challenge this difficulty, you’d better make your game character have strong enough Skills, Armor, and Build. Of course, if there are lower-Level players who want to obtain Forgotten Souls by Challenging at a lower difficulty Level, it is also possible, but the probability will be lower. Another way to increase the number of Forgotten Souls obtained in Helltide Event is to Contribute to Ritual to Summon and Defeat Blood Maiden within Helltide Events. The more you Contribute, the more Forgotten Souls you will get. In addition, if you get and open some Tortured Gifts in Event, you will also have a chance to get some Forgotten Souls. The size of Tortured Gift does not affect the number of Forgotten Souls you get, and Forgotten Souls in each Tortured Gift are the same. There are also two ways to get Tortured Gifts. The first is to pick up Forgotten Souls during Ritual of Summoning and Defeating Blood Maiden, and then deliver Final Blow to Maiden. Although this method does not yield many Forgotten Souls, it can be repeated, and the process is not difficult. You can even return to town and then return to get more Forgotten Souls and Diablo 4 Gold. In addition to the above methods and locations, players can also get some Forgotten Souls by participating in Helltide Event through Spoils of Materials Chests in Infernal Hordes. However, this method is more time-consuming. 2. Other Methods Completing Undercity Of Kurast Quest can also allow players to get some Forgotten Souls, but the number of Tributes used in the process does not affect the number of Forgotten Souls obtained. Clearing Dark Citadel can also get a lot of Forgotten Souls, but this process takes a lot of time. In addition, bartering with Mercenaries is also a way to get Forgotten Souls, but this requires you to have Pale Marks. Since Pale Marks are difficult to obtain, we do not recommend this method. How To Use Forgotten Souls? Currently, the main use of Forgotten Souls in the game is to use them as Crafting Materials. Based on this overall use, its functions include two: Enchant legendary Items and Crafting Masterwork Ancestral or Mythic Unique Gear. 1. Enchant Legendary Items Enchant can be done at Occultist. By combining Forgotten Souls with some other necessary Materials to Enchant Legendary Items, the player can then re-roll a single Affix to get something more desirable. 2. Crafting Masterwork Ancestral Or Mythic Unique Gear In fact, this is an Endgame feature. To perform this Crafting process, you first need to Temper your Gear at least once, twice if it is Ancestral. Once you have the corresponding Materials, you can go to Blacksmith to Craft Master Working. The lowest Level of Master Working requires 3 Forgotten Souls, and the highest Level even requires 15. In addition, players can reset Masterwork Rank on any given Item. The required Materials are as follows: 30x Raw Hide 20x Veiled Crystals 5x Forgotten Souls 5,000,000 Gold Once you have these Materials, click the red circle next to Masterwork Rank to reset it. And each rank will boost Affixes on your Equipment, making them even more potent. The above is Farming method and main usage of Forgotten Souls in Diablo 4 DLC Vessel Of Hatred. If you want to know more about it, you can enter iGMeet Discord to participate in the discussion. In addition, there are often some raffles with prizes of Diablo 4 Props and Materials. If you catch up, please believe in your luck and join in time!Oct-22-2024

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
