Diablo 4 Season 8 Twisting Blades Rogue Build: How To Build It?

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 order to ensure the freshness and fun of the game, Diablo 4 always adds various new events or challenges in the new season, and sets generous rewards in them, so that you can earn enough Diablo 4 Gold for your character while carrying out exciting adventures. For example, in Season 7, which was launched on January 21st not long ago, besides the much-anticipated witchcraft power, it also brought you new challenges like Rootholds dungeon as a seasonal alternative to regular or nightmare dungeons. Because there are new challenges and bosses in Rootholds dungeon and better rewards, it is necessary to understand some of its mechanisms in advance before taking on the challenge to avoiding losses in the game. Based on this, we will provide you with a guide to exploring Rootholds. What Is Rootholds Dungeon? In fact, you can think of Rootholds as the nightmare dungeon of Season 7. While nightmare dungeons are still available in the new season, Rootholds are more worth the effort, as they have a much higher chance of dropping Diablo 4 Gold and other rewards than regular dungeons. And if you run Rootholds after unlocking at least Torment I, you also have a chance to get Ancestral Uniques. You need to find Rootholds before you can enter them, and to do this, you must first obtain a special item called Whispering Woods. However, this item is a bit tricky to get, and you can only find some after you complete seasonal Grim Favors and open Silent chests. And even more, unfortunately, the drops from Whispering Woods are not guaranteed, so if you are unlucky, you may need to complete several Grim Favors to get one. But since collecting Whispering Woods is the only way to enter Rootholds, make an effort to collect them and save them carefully. Where Is Rootholds Dungeon? When you have collected enough Whispering Woods as keys to enter Rootholds, you can activate them in your inventory and then activate regular dungeons into Rootholds just like you would nightmare dungeons. Once Rootholds appear, you can open the map in-game and teleport directly into that dungeon from your current location. These Rootholds will spawn anywhere on the map depending on your key, so be prepared. How To Explore Rootholds? If you’ve played Diablo 4 in the past and explored Infernal Hordes dungeon, everything about Rootholds may be familiar to you. After first entering Rootholds and going through the first passage, you’ll see several Enchanted Roots when you reach the surface. Each of these Enchanted Roots can act as a modifier to the root fortress, giving you a different difficulty level of Rootholds. Two of the four roots will give you easier modifiers, while the other two are more challenging. Usually you have to choose a modifier to further explore Rootholds, but it’s recommended to choose up to two if possible. Because if you choose a more difficult modifier, you can get more rewards after completing Rootholds. Next, after passing through the main gate, you should see certain points of interest on the mini-map, and approaching any of them you will find an Exposed Root as the source of a huge reward. Clicking on them will spawn a group of enemies in the game, and they will drop many unique items for you. And if you play Rootholds on Torment I difficulty or higher, you can also find Ancestral Uniques by clicking on Exposed Roots. It is worth noting that every enemy spawned by Rootholds is also Headrotten, so you can also get a lot of Restless Rot by clearing these dungeons - it is the exclusive currency of Season of Witchcraft. In fact, with enough Restless Rot, you can upgrade the witchcraft power or obtain the elusive unique witchcraft power for that season. After you successfully pass through Rootholds, you should encounter a gate with three additional modifiers, and choosing any two of them can further improve the rewards you get and increase the difficulty level, so you can fight all the way to the end. And if you want to get more loot, remember to interact with every Exposed Root you find. All Rootholds Dungeon Rewards After clearing each exposed root, you will go to the end of Rootholds and make Rootholds boss appear by touching the exposed root in the boss room. Most of the time, these bosses appear as headless shells, but sometimes bosses will grow a head, which you can get as a bonus after killing the boss with a head. These heads can be used to craft Occult gems, and after you put the gems in your jewelry slots, your character will get the final power boost, allowing them to break through as you enter higher Torment difficulties and Pit tiers. Even if the boss you encounter is a normal headless version, the amount of loot dropped after defeating them is still more than the normal Diablo 4 dungeon boss can provide. Rootholds dungeons have a lot of loot, from different levels of equipment to different levels of crafting recipes, which can help you complete the endgame more smoothly. Related: Diablo 4 Promotions & Giveaways Overall, Rootholds are fun, quick to complete, and one of the most rewarding Season Challenges in Season 7, so we strongly recommend you completing them as soon as possible. If you want to get more game props easily besides Rootholds rewards, you can participate in the first giveaway event for Diablo 4 Season 7 currently being held on iGMeet Discord.

In Diablo 4 Season 6, Rogue has undergone a major overhaul, with significant improvements in agility and damage. This has made Penetrating Shot Rogue build, which focuses on high burst damage, the choice of many players. In this build, you only need to use a few accurate shots to defeat the enemy easily. For the endgame build with stronger survivability and damage capabilities, defeating some medium-difficulty enemies is no problem at all. But it is precisely because the difficulty of enemies or bosses in the endgame content will be much more difficult than the leveling stage, so it is very important to choose the most suitable skills and items for them. If you still have no idea and don’t want to invest too much trial-and-error costs, then this guide will be your best helper. Here, you will be introduced to how to choose the best build items in this Penetrating Shot Rogue endgame build so that it can be used to its maximum effectiveness. Skills Penetrating Shot is a pretty simple piercing arrow on its own, but if you combine it with Umbracrux dagger and Trickshot Aspect, this arrow becomes a nuke that can knock down a ton of enemies! But be careful with positioning. As the more enemies you hit in the path of this arrow, the more damage you will do. So your skills and passives are all about making sure this arrow is accurate, and secondly, focus on stacking Critical Strike Damage. This way the entire build will have the maximum damage to enemies, so you can quickly complete some exploration tasks and pick up Diablo 4 Gold dropped by enemies. Here are some skills and passives you can place in the skill tree for Penetrating Shot Rogue endgame build. Note that the skill point numbers here are for reference only, and you can change them appropriately based on your play style. Active Skills Puncture - 1 Smoke Grenade - 1 Penetrating Shot - 5 Shadow Step - 1 Dash - 1 Poison Imbuement - 1 Death Trap - 5 Dark Shroud - 5 Passive Skills Sturdy - 3 Siphoning Strikes - 3 Stutter Steps - 2 Weapon Mastery - 3 Unstable Elixirs - 3 Trick Attacks - 3 Rapid Gambits - 1 Agile - 2 Exploit - 3 Malice - 3 Frigid Finesse - 3 Innervation - 3 Second Wind - 3 Precision - 1 Rugged - 3 Balestra - 1 Aftermath - 1 Victimize - 1 Best Rotation Once you have all your skills equipped, you can start beating some low-level enemies to determine which rotation is best for you. But if you just want to deal the most damage, you can use Heartseeker to accumulate combo points first, and then cast Death Trap to group enemies together for maximum damage later. After that, you can deploy Poison Trap to poison the enemies, which will increase their damage to subsequent attacks and trigger fancy totems from Umbracrux. Next, you can use Shadow Step or Dash to enter the battle perfectly and activate Tricks of the Trade, which will help you increase your bonus damage. Finally, cast Penetrating Shot to penetrate those already dying enemies and make them deal the final blow. So the best Specialization setup in this Penetrating Shot Rogue endgame build is Combo Points, which will allow your Heartseeker to accumulate points at a faster rate, which is the origin of everything. Best Legendary Aspects After choosing skills, it’s time to start choosing Diablo 4 Items. The first thing we’ll cover is Legendary Aspects, because they are very important to the damage and survivability of the entire build. Here are some of Legendary Aspects you can choose in this Penetrating Shot Rogue endgame build. Trickshot: Whenever a Penetrating Shot deals damage to an enemy, two additional arrows branch off on either side. These side arrows deal a percentage of Penetrating Shot’s base damage and do not branch. Rapid: Increases attack speed of basic skills. Edgemaster’s: Skills now deal increased damage based on your Primary Resource when activated. Might: The basic skill grants damage reduction. Expectant: After attacking an enemy with a basic skill, the damage to the next core skill will be increased. Energizing: Dealing damage to an elite enemy with a basic skill generates 4 energy.

Aspect of Unstable Imbuements: When you activate an Imbuement Skill, an explosion occurs around you. Enshrouding: Using a Healing Potion will create a free Dark Shroud Shadow. Umbrous Aspect: Critical strikes grant a free Dark Shroud Shadow. Crowded Sage: Increase your chances of dodging. Dodging also restores your maximum life. Concussive Strikes: When you damage an enemy, you can Daze them. Accelerating: Critical attacks using core skills increase attack speed. Elements: Increased damage against a range of damage types, switching between Fire, Lightning, Physical and Cold, Poison, Shadow. Best Gear After you equip Legendary Aspects, the next step is your gear. As before, your gear should still focus on your Critical Strikes and the mobility of your Penetrating Shot Rogue endgame build. So you can choose the following items based on these criteria. Runic Skullcap of Might - Helm Shroud of False Death - Chest Trickshot Runic Gloves - Glove Umbrous Runic Leggings - Pants Runic Cleats of Concussive Strikes - Boots Edgemaster’s Warcaster - Ranged Weapon Obsidian Blade of the Expectant - Melee Weapon Obsidian Blade of Elements - Melee Weapon Rapid Necklace - Amulet Accelerating Band - Ring Ring of Retribution - Ring The above are some of the build options for how to make the Penetrating Shot Rogue endgame build into a powerful build in Diablo 4 Season 6.

With Diablo 4 Season 4 Loot Reborn update in full swing, there have been many changes to classes in the new season. Among them, Barbarian has more ways to play than ever before, but one of them is the most interesting. Barbarian has experienced many ups and downs in Diablo 4. In the past three seasons, powerful builds like Double Swing and Rend Barbarian destroyed the meta game. However, with Loot Reborn update, a new build has taken over, and that is Bash Barbarian. In this guide, we will talk about what makes Bash Barbarian so good, and all the tips you need to know to build this build. Basic Skill Unlike most builds, Bash Barbarian focuses on its basic skill, Bash. This build can clear the vast majority of seasonal content and defeat the new bosses introduced in Season 4. What’s more important is that Bash will deal damage and stun enemies every four hits. If you have enough Diablo 4 Gold reserves, you can also make it a powerful boss killer with the right upgrades. Speaking of upgrades, Bash has a mandatory upgrade mechanic, and there are two optional upgrades to choose from, including: Enhanced Bash: When you damage a stunned enemy with Bash, you will gain 20% of your maximum health as Fortify. Battle Bash: When you damage a stunned enemy with Bash, you will generate 5 additional Fury. Enhanced Bash can be used as a defensive skill, and Fortify will help you resist most attacks, giving you enough time to get out of danger. Of course, if you need extra Fury, Battle Bash can also meet your needs. Active Skills In addition, you will also need to fill your remaining skill slots. These skills are especially necessary before reaching the endgame. If you are surrounded by monsters, Leap is the perfect way out. If you don’t damage any units, Enhanced Leap will increase your movement speed by reducing the cooldown of skills. If you do damage the enemy, Mighty Leap will add a slowing effect when landing, ensuring that they can’t catch up with you. In addition, War Cry and Challenging Shout will increase your damage and damage reduction, respectively. Enhanced War Cry grants you Berserking. And Power War Cry further increases your damage when there are at least six enemies near you. Enhanced Challenging Shout grants you maximum health when casting, while Tactical Challenging Shout grants you Fury every time you are attacked. Then, Steel Grasp is perfect for taking down some troublesome enemies. Enhanced Steel Grasp makes affected enemies Vulnerable on impact. Fighter’s Steel Grasp grants us Berserking accordingly after we damage the enemy. Note that Wrath of the Berserker is the ultimate skill of this build. Prime Wrath of the Berserker grants you increased movement and Fury generation, and Supreme Wrath of the Berserker grants increased damage during Berserking every time you spend 50 Fury points. Passive Skills Usually, passive skills grant you various buffs, and passives are also divided into a key passive and several secondary passives that support your build. First, let’s talk about the key passive skill of this build, Unconstrained. It increases the duration of any Berserking effect by 5 seconds while increasing its damage by 100%. Since this build relies on Berserking and you being able to maintain its duration, Unconstrained fits perfectly with its buffs. Next, let’s look at the rest of the passive skills: Aggressive Resistance: Gain damage reduction when Berserking is applied. Battle Fervor: Every time your Brawling skill deals damage to an enemy, you gain Berserking effect. Booming Voice: This increases the duration of your Shout skills. Concussion: When using Bludgeoning 2H weapons skill, you have a chance to stun an enemy. This effect triggers on Lucky Hit. Counteroffensive: When your Fortify is over 50% of your maximum health, the damage you deal is increased. Guttural Yell: When you use Shout skills, your damage reduction is increased. Imposing Presence: This increases your maximum health by a certain amount. Martial Vigor: You have increased damage reduction against elite enemies. Wallop: When using Bludgeoning weapons skill, you deal increased damage to stunned or vulnerable enemies. Arsenal System Arsenal System is a unique class mechanic for Barbarians that unlocks when you reach level five. Each Arsenal choice will increase certain types of weapon expertise based on the weapons you frequently use. These expertises you gain will give you certain weapon bonuses. This is also a great way to increase Barbarian damage. For Bash Barbarian, the following expertise options are not to be missed: Two-handed Axe Expertise: You deal extra damage to vulnerable enemies. Two-handed Mace Expertise: You deal extra critical hit damage while Berserking. One-handed Sword Expertise: Your attack speed increases after killing a crowd controlled enemy. One-handed Mace Expertise: You deal more damage to stunned enemies. With these expertises, you can switch between multiple weapons to deal with different situations, so it will be valuable to always have these weapons equipped. Legendary Aspects The best Aspect choices for this build revolve around enhancing your Basic Skills. Aspect of Adaptability: Your Basic Skills deal bonus damage while your Fury is above 50%. Basic Skills also generate bonus Fury when your Fury is below 50%. Aspect of Disobedience: You gain armor stacks every time you deal damage of any kind. Aspect of Giant Strides: You gain a reduction in the cooldown of your Leap skill based on how many enemies you damage with that skill. Aspect of Might: After casting a Basic Skill, you gain damage reduction. Aspect of the Moonrise: When you damage an enemy with a Basic Skill, you gain Attack Speed ​​stacks. After gaining five stacks, you gain Vampiric Bloodrage, increasing your movement speed and the damage dealt by Basic Skills. Mangler’s Aspect: When you damage a Vulnerable enemy, you have a chance to stun them. Rapid Aspect: Your Basic Skills increase your attack speed. Vengeful Aspect: When you turn an enemy into Vulnerable, your critical strike chance increases. Unique Items Finally, let’s talk about some of the key unique items you’ll need to complete this build. First up is Paingorger’s Gauntlets. Every time you damage an enemy with a non-basic skill, you mark that enemy. When you use a basic skill on a marked enemy, the damage you deal is increased and affects all other marked enemies. On the other hand, Ramaladni’s Magnum Opus is also very key. With it equipped, you lose two Fury points per second, but in exchange, your skills deal additional damage for every point of Fury you currently have. That’s all you need to know about making Bash Barbarian worth trying in Season 4. Follow this guide and you’ll be able to find great ways to optimize your Barbarian and get the best power bonuses.
