Diablo 4 Season 8 FireQuake Barbarian Endgame Build: How To Build It?

As early as when Diablo 4 developers announced the 2025 roadmap, the mysterious crossover of Season 8 made people excited. When they finally announced that they would cooperate with Berserk, it surprised and expected players. Many players are speculating on what form this IP cooperation will take? However, the crossover content of Diablo 4 and Berserk is very disappointing. There is no new story line, no carefully made event content, and there are only a lot of new appearances that are used to induce players to consume. Berserk Many players of Diablo 4 may not have read this manga. Berserk is a manga created by the late Japanese manga artist Kentaro Miura, with the black swordsman Guts as the protagonist. The background of this story is also full of monsters, violence, blood and betrayal. Guts obtained Brand of Sacrifice after being betrayed by Griffith. He needs to be on guard against the endless monsters chasing him at all times. And this man who wields Dragon Slayer sword to kill monsters has almost become synonymous with Berserker. This dark fantasy work has many similarities with Diablo 4, but it is a pity that Diablo 4 does not seem to make good use of these elements. Berserk Crossover Update Content In-game event (until June 3 at 10 AM PT) Defeat elite monsters to earn Behelits, which can be exchanged for cosmetic rewards at Berserk Reliquary: Hawks Destiny Back Trophy Skull Knight’s Heraldry Mount Armor Brand of Sacrifice Marking Foretold Eclipse Headstone Od of Berserker Emblem (automatically claimed after unlocking the above rewards) Cash shop bundles (until June 5 at 12 PM PT) Barbarian Berserker Armor (2800 Platinum) Rogue Struggler (2800 Platinum) Hawk of Light (2800 Platinum) Necromancer Skull Knight (2800 Platinum) Schnoz Pet Bundle (2800 Platinum) Schnoz Pet Mask Rakshas Mount Trophy Chimimoryo’s Resemblance Emblem Warhorse of Light Mount Bundle (2800 Platinum) Fantasia Mount Fantasia’s Bridle Reborn Band of the Hawk Mount Trophy God Hand’s Gift Mount Trophy Behelits are the new currency during this IP collaboration. Elite enemies can drop Behelits besides Diablo 4 Gold. You need about 400 Behelits to unlock all the free appearances, but you won’t experience any additional plots, just mechanically farming monsters. As your level gets higher, you will encounter more elite enemies, so getting all the rewards doesn’t waste too much time, but the process is not fun at all. Another point that makes players feel unhappy is that this time, all the appearances that players want are not free. Including Guts’s Berserker Armor, Griffith’s classic Hawk of Light Armor and his mount. Although these skins and others are all 2800 Platinum, Platinum requires players to exchange for dollars, not gold. Unlocking all the cosmetics in this crossover takes about $150, which is twice the value of Vessel of Hatred. In addition, the developers set all the appearances to be limited-time, which makes players who like these appearances feel anxious and ultimately impulse purchases. This IP cooperation method is not only disrespectful to Berserk, but also reflects that the production team of Diablo 4 is not attentive to this crossover and lacks creativity. Diablo Immortal’s Berserk Crossover It is somewhat ironic that Diablo Immortal also gets the opportunity to cooperate with Berserk, but does better than Diablo 4. As a mobile game, its cooperation content is obviously more attentive and interesting than Diablo 4. Players can even participate in the most brutal battle in Berserk, Eclipse, in Diablo Immortal, and survive it like Guts. Diablo Immortal even added a boss fight with the undead Nosferatu Zodd for this collaboration, which is definitely something that fans can cheer about. Diablo 4 could have done something similar. Players could have earned a Brand of Sacrifice during the event, which would have allowed a steady stream of monsters to appear from all over and attack players. Or recreate one or two classic battles from the comics. And what did Diablo 4 do? They replaced gold with Behelits and added a couple of cosmetics with no attribute bonuses, and that’s probably all. No new dungeons, no new bosses. Player Feedback Players naturally couldn’t give a pleasant face to the crossover content announced by Diablo 4. Players’ complaints mainly focused on the emptiness of the content of this crossover, and the high value of pets and cosmetics. They can’t even complain more, because this is all the crossover content between Diablo 4 and Berserk. Many players like the cosmetics of this crossover, but the boring crossover content made them give up the idea of unlocking cosmetics. Diablo 4’s IP cooperation once again verified players’ speculation: the barren content on the 2025 roadmap represents the lack of creativity of this group of developers. They cannot provide players with bold and interesting new content. The so-called IP cooperation is just another opportunity to make money. The linkage between Diablo 4 and Berserk would have been a wonderful start, but they have messed it up. Unless they can do something to remedy the situation, it will be difficult for players to have expectations for the next IP cooperation.

As we all know, Obducite is one of the important materials you need when entering Diablo 4 Season 7 endgame, they can help you quickly upgrade your equipment in order to clear higher Pits or simply dominate Torment 4 and do your favorite grinding activities. Whatever the reason, we all need it, and accumulating a lot of Obducite quickly is the goal of almost every player! As you know, there are 3 sources to get Obducite in Diablo 4. The first and most popular is of course Nightmare Dungeons, then Infernal Hordes, and last but not least is Kurast Undercity using Tribute of Refinement. But which one is the fastest way to get as much Obducite as possible in the shortest time? Here, we will try to answer this question. Nightmare Dungeons First of all, as you know, Nightmare Dungeons have always been one of the best sources of Obducite in Diablo 4, and this is also true in Season 7. But did you know that not all Nightmare Dungeons are the same? It turns out that the amount of XP and Obducite you can get is based on the ranking of Nightmare Dungeon, which depends on the size, layout, and monster density of the dungeon. Therefore, some Nightmare Dungeons are better for you to farm materials than others. However, this ranking changes from season to season, so we will introduce 8 so-called S-tier Nightmare Dungeons in Season 7 that are your best choice for Obducite. For the ranking of these dungeons, we followed two important factors. The first is based on how fast you can clear the dungeon, for this we assume that 3 minutes is the best time for you to clear Nightmare Dungeons, and the other influencing factor is based on the amount of Obducite you can get. Of course, we know that there are many factors that can change the results, but please note that here we exclude the results of encountering Butcher or finding multiple Goblins, so Obducite you can actually get is definitely more considerable than we expect. In the final list of Nightmare Dungeons, you can see that the 8 most suitable dungeons for farming are:  Ancient’s Lament Sarat’s Lair Deserted Underpass Mariner’s Refuge Uldur’s Cave Sirocco Caverns Forsaken Quarry Caldera Gate The good thing about these 8 dungeons is that their layouts are very simple, which means that they either have only one layer like Uldur’s Cave, Forsaken Quarry, Mariner’s Refuge, Sarat’s Lair, and Ancient’s Lament, or if there are 2 layers, the layout feels like walking a straight line, allowing you to clear the dungeon very quickly, just like Deserted Underpass, Sirocco Caverns or Caldera Gate dungeons. The most important thing is that the density of monsters in these dungeons is very high, some of these dungeons are what we call spider-themed dungeons, you know when you kill a spider more spiders will spawn, so these dungeons are the best. Not only can you collect more Obducite from them, but you also have the opportunity to make a good profit of Diablo 4 Gold by group clearing a lot of mobs, killing two birds with one stone! In addition to these, we also found Feeding Grounds, Light’s Watch, and Blind Burrows. The problem with Feeding Grounds and Light’s Watch is that they are both large dungeons, unless you have an excellent fast farming build, it will take you a long time to clear them, and you don’t get much Obducite from these dungeons compared to other dungeons. Blind Burrows is another spider dungeon, very similar to Sarat’s Lair, but Sarat’s Lair is better because it is completed faster. So, if you can choose, it is recommended that you always choose Sarat’s Lair or any other dungeon first. So, taking into account the time it takes to clear a dungeon, teleport back to town, and the loading times, you can earn up to 1,500 Obducite every 4-5 minutes if you farm these dungeons as quickly as possible. That means on average you can run about 12 dungeons per hour and get a total of 18,000 Obducite. The problem here, though, is that these Dungeon Keys are random drops, and even if you can craft them, that can affect your farming efficiency. Infernal Hordes The second method brings us to our beloved Infernal Hordes. Obducite has been given an enormous boost this season, with Hellborne option appearing more often than ever before. This is great because even if you have a really bad speed farming build like Blood Wave Necromancer, you should still get 800 to 900 Burning Aether every 10 waves, for an average of 4,500 Obducite per run. I think better builds should be able to get around 1200 Aether on average, since they will be completing Infernal Hordes in a shorter time. This means that in one hour you should get between 17,000 and 20,000 Obducite. If we compare this amount to the 18,000, you can get in Nightmare Dungeon, you can almost say they are about the same. Kurast Undercity We come to the last contender, which is Kurast Undercity with Tribute of Refinement. As you know, Kurast Undercity just appeared last season, and you can get Mythic Uniques, materials, and Obducite from it, depending on the type of Tribute you use. To get Obducite, you need Tribute of Refinement, and according to our data, these Tributes are currently the best source for Obducite. In 30 minutes, we did a total of 8 dungeon runs and got a whopping 16,000 Obducite. Note that these runs took place at Torment level 4, but we are not sure if Torment level makes a difference in Obducite drops. As you can see, our farming method was to ignore all enemies and activate Beacons, and if for some reason we didn’t reach the highest level in the last part, we killed some enemies, just to make sure we always had maximum coordination. Once again, the build we used was not optimized for fast clearing, so you also got that amount of Obducite with your build. This means that if you use a fast farming build, in 1 hour you can easily get even close to 30,000 Obducite! Ridiculous! However, there is a minor problem, and that is finding Tribute. You need to complete Dark Citadel, get Tree of Whispers caches, or you can always do Infernal Hordes and exchange the remaining Aether for Obducite, Gem Fragments, and you will definitely get 1 Tribute of Refinement. That’s it! Finally, please tell us which method is better for you? Do you have a scavenging build that helps you farm Obducite faster? Do you have any other better farming tips to share? See you next time!

In Diablo 4 DLC Vessel of Hatred released on October 7, in order to live up to the expectations of players, the game developers not only added some new content: such as the new class Spiritborn and the new explorable area Nahantu, but also updated the main story based on Diablo 4 base game. If you often play MMO games, you will find that the main story in these games is the key to stringing together the entire series of games, and the same is true in Diablo 4. besides some casual gameplay or some daily repetitive tasks that can farm Diablo 4 Gold, other world bosses and major events are often centered on the main story. As an expansion of Diablo 4, the updated story content in Vessel of Hatred is essentially a continuation and supplement to the story of the base game. It should also play a role in filling the gaps in Diablo 4 story and paving the way for the new season or new DLC. But does the update of the story in Vessel of Hatred really do these things? If you want to know, let’s find out together. What Does The New Story Of Vessel Of Hatred Tell? Diablo series of games is as dark and treacherous as its name leaves players with the impression that it is full of conspiracy and battles. The game is centered on Eternal Conflict between High Heavens and Burning Hells for Worldstone, and uses this conflict as the foreground and background of the story of each game in the series. In Diablo 4, humans live in Sanctuary between Eternal Conflict. This setting not only emphasizes the importance of human movements in war, but also shows how humans will use their free will to influence this conflict through the subsequent development of the story. In the updated story of Vessel of Hatred, the girl Neyrelle takes Soulstone containing Mephisto to the jungle area of ​​Nahantu, hoping to face Mephisto directly and prevent his influence from spreading further to Sanctuary. In fact, this is basically the theme of the story in Vessel of Hatred. Because if you’ve experienced the expansion, you’ll find that a large part of the story is about chasing Neyrelle’s footsteps, hoping to find her before the corruption of Soulstone destroys her from the inside out. Therefore, this storyline does not further portray the battle of High Heavens and Burning Hells, but focuses more on Neyrelle. It can be said that this is a smaller and more personal story compared to the stories in the previous few games. On this basis, the newly added Nahantu area in DLC is a refreshing change, replacing the dark and endless despair in the previous Sanctuary with bright and saturated colors. And as a background location, it effectively complements the tribal theme of the story and sets off the special ability of the new Spiritborn class to use animal souls to gain supernatural powers. In fact, you will find that the background of Vessel of Hatred has nothing to do with the main battle in the series of games. The people of Nahantu have always been working hard to defend their land. This is where Eru, a key character in DLC, comes into play, as his greatest wish is to ensure that Nahantu is protected from Mephisto’s corruption. Unfortunately, he ultimately makes a deal with Mephisto for a variety of reasons, and loses everything for it. There Is A Story Disconnect Between Vessel Of Hatred And Base Game Of Diablo 4 While the new story and setting of Vessel of Hatred gives players, a brief respite from Eternal Conflict and a chance to experience different areas and classes than before, it is precisely because of these elements that there is a certain disconnect between the story of the DLC and the main story of the base game of Diablo 4. One of the biggest unresolved plot points in the story of the main campaign of Diablo 4 is that Neyrelle trapped the essence of Mephisto in Soustone and then disappeared without explaining the subsequent developments. Therefore, people were originally looking forward to the game makers to explain this plot point in Vessel of Hatred. At the end of Vessel of Hatred, although Neyrelle is freed from her connection to Mephisto Soulstone, some dialogue confirms that she is still connected to Mephisto and will face him at some point in the future. In a sense, you can think that the unresolved plot point of Diablo 4 has been resolved, but this is not specific and complete enough to be convincing. All the main story of Diablo 4 set up for the expansion Vessel of Hatred never fully resolved the plot holes left in the base game, but only extended its original ending. This also means that although Vessel of Hatred has many highlights, it still does not really continue the story of the base game. However, this is not entirely a disadvantage for players. Since there is no strong coherence between the stories, players can directly enter the expansion without playing the main campaign of Diablo 4. This is good, but it also shows that the story of Vessel of Hatred is not very meaningful to the overall narrative of Diablo 4. However, we can also expect the game developers to release new expansions to resolve these unresolved plot points.

These 8 tips are useful, especially for newer players, but perhaps even Veterans of the game will find them valuable too. Before entering Diablo 4 Season 4, if you have enough Diablo 4 Items in your inventory, they will help increase your likelihood of defeating your enemies. Let’s jump right into it. 1. Auto-cast Abilities In case you wonder: Auto casting skills do not require any macro, special mouse or external software. You can turn on auto-cast by simply using your keyboard. And here is how: First, go to “options”, then “controls” window. Assign the secondary button of a skill you want to auto-cast to one of the numeric keypad buttons. Those are the 1 to 9 buttons on the right side of your keyboard. Next, with the “Num Lock” function turned on, Hold the assigned numeric key and press “Num Lock” button to turn off the functionality. And there you go. Your character will now auto-cast the ability whenever it’s ready! To disable auto-casting, simply turn on “Num Lock” and press the skill button again. 2. Seasonal Journey Rewards The seasonal journey rewards are account-wide, while Iron Wolf’s rewards are character-based. So when you level your first character, you may be wondering which seasonal rewards to pick up and which ones to leave for later, or perhaps for your alts. You certainly want to pick up all Iron Wolf’s rewards as soon as you unlock them. Each character can level and pick up their own rewards from that vendor. The level of rewards from Iron Wolf’s also seem to be tied to the level you had when you unlocked them, not when you opened the box. So there’s basically no point in holding back. It’s a bit more tricky when it comes to seasonal journey rewards since they are account wide. This means that if you picked a couple of seasonal chapter rewards for your first character, but let’s say then decided to switch a class, you won’t have seasonal journey rewards available on that new character. It’s not a big deal. Besides the potential cool Legendaries, and Uniques that could drop from rewards caches. Luckily, though, the drops are very generous in Season 4, so don’t lose sleep over that. 3. Use Favorite Function The third tip I have for you: use “favorite” functionality. In case you didn’t know, you can mark aspects and items as favorite. When you mark aspect as favorite, it will show up first when you are selecting legendary power from Codex of power. This is a big quality of life thing for overtime. You will replace legendary powers Time and time again. And here’s how I like using this feature for aspects: When I start a new character and get an idea for a skill or build that I want to use, I go to the “collection” section on the pause menu. It’s the only place where you can actually mark aspects as favorites. By the way, the marking is done with a space bar on the PC. Then I go through all the available aspects and mark those that seem applicable to my build. It is a bit of a pre-work, but makes your life so much easier in the long run. So you don’t have to search for a specific legendary power. Every single time you want to switch an item, which is a pain in the ass. Now let’s talk about pieces of gear. You can also mark them as favorite to avoid accidentally selling good items to a vendor or stopping you from mass salvaging items at Blacksmith. To mark a piece of gear, hover over the item and press the button assigned to mark items as junk twice! The first press marks an item as junk, while the second press marks it as favorite. On PC, that’s again a “space bar”. Personally, I like marking all my current equipment as favorite to prevent losing accidentally an item while I am trying out different pieces of gear. 4. Craft Seasonal Potions You can craft seasonal potions with Obols. If you haven’t used seasonal potions yet, make sure to give them a try! Holy Bolt is a particularly strong potion to use as it turns you into a permanent artillery machine. Obols are currency that you normally used to gamble for items. You get Obols from Helltides chests. And considering you will probably spam Helltides all the damn time, you will quickly accumulate a lot of Obols. Once you get a decent set, it’s a good time to spend some Obols on potion crafting. Beware, though, that the cost is quite high with 350 Obols per potion. But I would still suggest that you use Holy Bolts despite the high cost. The power gain justifies the cost as they provide a massive boost to your damage, especially when playing Minion Necromancer. 5. Aspects’ Icons On Items The next tip I got for you is to pay attention to symbols on the items at Blacksmith. So you get inventory full of legendary items. How do you know easily which ones to sell and which to salvage? Go to Blacksmith and salvage the items with the white icon on them. This icon means that the legendary power on this piece of gear is either not unlocked in your Codex of Power, or the value of legendary power on the item is higher than the one you have unlocked in Codex of Power. So whichever is the case, you definitely want to salvage this item unless you want to use it. There is also another red-ish icon, which means that salvaging this item unlocks a new cosmetic look. These icons, unfortunately, were not visible so easily when opening inventory, without going to an NPC like Blacksmith or vendor. To see them in your inventory. Without going to NPC, you have to hover over an item and look for an icon with a text explanation at the bottom of the item description. This can be unfortunately easy to miss, especially when you have to compare function turned on. This way, the item description often does not fit into the screen and requires you to scroll down to see the icon. It’s kind of annoying and I hope they will change it in the future. 6. Enchanting Affixes Preview You can check possible Affixes when enchanting an item. So you get a nice piece of gear but want to change one affix on it. You go to Occultist and enchant that statistic, but how do you know whether you should keep that new Affix or perhaps roll further? Here’s where the icon located at the top-right corner of Enchanting Window comes to the rescue. It shows the list of all possible Affixes to be rolled and also their ranges! You can actually also access this information on consoles. To do that, simply press “triangle” or “Y” button at the Enchanting window. 7. Farm Blood Maiden Spam Blood Maiden in Helltides for great XP and loot! Helltides has been an awesome place to both level up and get great loot in the process. I strongly recommend you to check out this place Located in every Helltide invaded area, which has an Altar with three pillars. Pillars can be activated by inserting Baneful Hearts, which are dropped across Helltides. By the way, you keep Baneful Hearts after Helltide finishes while all unused Cinders are lost after the current Helltide event ends. When all three pillars are activated, waves of enemies will spawn in that location. And when enough demons are defeated, the boss will spawn the Blood Maiden. She can be a tough enemy who has three main mechanics: First, she spawns disciples who are tougher Elites mobs. You definitely want to deal with them fast so you don’t get overwhelmed later on. She also casts fire rings around random players. When you get one on you, move away from the boss and other players to avoid killing everyone. And lastly, she will create an expanding circle, dealing with quite high damage. Just simply dodge it. When defeated, Maiden will drop a lot of items with some legendries plus crafting materials. And players who contributed more Baneful Hearts to activate pillars may get more loot. So don’t be a cheap bastard. 8. Use Profane Mindcages Speaking about Helltides, use Profane Minds to boost experience and cinders. Have you noticed Profane Minds in your second inventory tab? This item increases the level of enemies in Helltide by 10, for 60 minutes! As far as I know, ten levels above yours is the cap for bonus experience in Diablo 4, so the boost works great. Using Profane Minds is a great way to level up faster and get tons of cinders in the process. Don’t be too stingy with them as you will drop Profane Minds in Helltides, anyway. And here are a few things to consider: First, the boost lasts 60 minutes, so activate it when you are planning to have a bit longer session. Next, dying with Profane Mind actively disables the boost, so use it when the current Helltide enemies are not posing too much threat. And enemies level is capped to 50 in World Tier 1 and 2. So it does not make sense to activate this boost if you are in that Tier while being above level 40. These are my gaming experiences, I hope they are useful to you.
