Diablo 4 Season 8 Stone Burst Druid Build: How To Make It Work?

Rogue was nerfed a bit in Season 8, but Boss Powers have added new possibilities to Rogue builds. Twisting Blades Rogue builds were endgame builds in Season 7, and with skills that use poison, they can deal very heavy damage to single enemies. In Season 8, Boss Powers can increase core skills and deal a lot of poison damage to enemies, so Twisting Blades Rogue Build may become a very good build in Season 8. Pros And Cons Pros Can clear enemies at a fast pace High single-target burst damage Fast movement speed, can quickly pass through dungeons Easy to learn Cons Very gear-dependent affixes Small attack range Gear-dependent, without Rakanoth’s Wake and Shroud of Khanduras, Rogue becomes very fragile Twisting Blades Rogue Build was only average in Season 7. He has high single-target damage, but has trouble dealing with groups of monsters. So he will be slow to complete Season quests and farm gold. But Season 8 requires farming bosses, and Twisting Blades Rogue Build allows you to deal with bosses efficiently, which may be an advantage. Skills Primary Skills Twisting Blades (Rank 5): Pierce the enemy with your blade, dealing 70% damage and increasing the damage you deal to this enemy over 3s for 3 seconds. The blade returns in 1.5s and deals 112% damage to the enemy. Caltrop (Rank 1): Create a Caltrop trap that slows enemies by 50% for 7s and deals 45% damage. Secondary Skills Poison Imbuement (Rank 5): Injects poison into the weapon. The next two Imbueable Skills of Rogue deal poison damage and additional poison damage equal to 100% of its base damage over 6 seconds. Shadow Step (Rank 1): Rogue moves unstoppably through the shadows and comes behind the enemy, dealing 80% damage and gaining 40% speed. Dash (Rank 1): Dash forward and slash at the enemy, dealing damage and slowing it down. Shadow Clone (Rank 5): Within 15 seconds, Rogue’s shadow will imitate his movements and deal damage to nearby enemies. At Rank 5, releasing this skill can deal 200% damage and stun nearby enemies for 3 seconds. Specialization: Preparation. The above is just one of the skill combinations of Twisting Blades Rogue Build. This skill configuration focuses more on single-target damage and increases Rogue’s survival space by slowing down the enemy. Another skill combination is: Twisting Blades, Smoke Grenade, Shadow Step, Poison Trap, Poison Imbuement, and Death Trap. This skill combination focuses more on using traps and toxins, and performs better when dealing with groups of enemies. Twisting Blades, Shadow Step and Poison Imbuement are always the core of this build. As long as you have enough Diablo 4 Gold, you can always change the remaining skills to your favorite ones. Boss Powers Main Boss Powers: Ashava’s Poison Breath/Grigoire’s Lightning Square Harbinger of Hatred’s Volley Avarice’s Explosive Ore Sinerat’s Flames Ashava’s Poison Breath: Hitting an enemy affected by continuous damage will generate a poison wave, causing huge poison damage to the hit enemy within 4 seconds. The poison effect will increase by 10% for every 1% continuous damage taken by the target’s current health. Grigoire’s Lightning Square: After casting the core skill, lightning will spread outward for 1.2 seconds, causing huge lightning damage with each attack. Both of the two Boss Powers are suitable for this build, and both are Rare Boss Powers. If you prefer to use poison, then Ashava’s Poison Breath will be a skill that suits you quite well. If you are good at using Twisting Blades skill, then Grigoire’s Lightning Square can be used with this skill to deal Lightning damage. But you need to use affixes that can reduce the skill CD to match this Boss Powers. Also Read: ARPG April Competition: Can Diablo 4 Season 8 Stand Out? Equipment Helm: Heir of Perdition Chest Armor: Shroud of Khanduras Gloves: Slice and Dice Aspect Pants: Umbrous Aspect Boots: Rakanoth’s Wake Amulet: Conceited Aspect Ring 1: Ring of Starless Skies Ring 2: Aspect of Corruption Ranged Weapon: Bladedancer’s Aspect Dual-Wield Weapon 1: Accelerating Aspect Dual-Wield Weapon 2: Aspect of Creeping Death Rogue is very fragile and needs Ancestral Unique items to improve his armor strength. The above equipment recommendations are mainly focused on improving Rogue’s melee attack damage and Twisting Blades damage. Before you get the best equipment, you can use other equipment with excellent affixes as a substitute. You need to pay attention to the following affixes: Improve core skills. Improve melee damage. Increase maximum health. Increase movement speed/Dexterity. Active Runes Armor: Igni and Ohm Weapon: Cir and Qax Gems Weapon: Diamond. Increases ultimate damage by 60%. Armor: Emerald. Increases 60 Dexterity Attribute. Amulet: Skull. Increases 240 armor. Ring 1: Diamond. Increases elemental resistance by 12%. Ring 2: Skull. Increases 240 armor. Since Twisting Blades Rogue has weak survivability and its damage is actually overflowing, Gems you choose need to improve survivability as much as possible. The above is a brief introduction to Twisting Blades Rogue Build. Rogue is a high-damage, high-risk class, and is not good at dealing with group monsters and farming gold. But once you can live with its shortcomings, you’ll have fun seeing how quickly it can take down a single enemy.

Mother’s Blessing event for Diablo 4 season 7 is coming to an end this week. The powerful experience bonuses it brought to players will also be gone. Players who want to level up your alts, you’ll have to seize this opportunity! Previously, some players discovered a leveling loophole in Diablo 4 Season 7, at least until now, and players can still use this loophole to level up quickly. The loophole is that players can easily level up their alts by farming Whisper Caches and having low-level characters open them. And during Mother’s Blessing event, players can also get Gift of the Tree Caches, which is equivalent to a Greater Collection of Chaos! Whether you want to level up all classes to level 60 or just want to train a new class, this is your last chance to level them up quickly! You’ll need to send your most powerful characters to complete this task. How To Level Up With Whisper Caches? Whisper Caches have the following features that make it possible to level up your alts quickly: Whisper Caches drop items and experience that are appropriate to the level and Torment level of the character who farmed and acquired them. Whisper Caches drop items for the class of the character who opened it. The character who opens Whisper Cache will gain the experience that would have been awarded to the character who farmed it. That means if you farm Whisper Caches with a Barbarian and put them in a Stash, and then have a level 1 Druid pull them out of Stash and open them, the experience that would have been awarded to Barbarian will be transferred to Druid. Your Druid will level up to level 60 very quickly. Whisper Caches also give out higher-level items. If your Barbarian is level 60, then Whisper Caches will give out level 60 items that are appropriate for Druids. Perhaps Ancestrals and Uniques items. You also have a chance to get Paragon Glyphs and temper manuals for the class. If you plan to play this class later, then you should choose Legendary or Ancestral Caches as much as possible, and skip Diablo 4 Gold and Collection Caches. This way you can get Aspects and appearances unique to the class. If you are just for the achievement and don’t plan to play this class, you can choose to open Gold and Collection Caches and save Ancestral caches for the character you want to play. How Many Whisper Caches Do You Need To Farm? Only Gift of the Tree caches collected after Mother’s Embrace event starts can provide experience for your alts. Gift of the Tree caches collected before Mother’s Embrace event starts will only provide equipment. This may become a special mechanism for Mother’s Embrace event. The official does not want players to stock up on Whisper Caches in advance for this event. During Mother’s Embrace event, each Whisper Cache will contain a Gift of the Tree Cache, so you only need to prepare half as many Whisper Caches as normal. The amount of experience a Whisper Cache provides to a character depends on Torment level of the location where it was collected. It takes 37,027,000 experience to advance from level 1 to level 60, so the number of Whisper Caches required is as follows: T1: Provides 370,270 Xp, 100 Caches required normally, 50 Caches required for events. T2: Provides 740,540 Xp, 75 Caches required normally, 38 Caches required for events. T3: Provides 1,110,810 Xp, 50 Caches required normally, 25 Caches required for events. T4: Provides 1,481,080 Xp, 25 Caches required normally, 13 Caches required for events. Can The Experience Provided By Whisper Caches Be Increased? There seems to be no other way to increase the experience gained by Whisper Caches except for farming Whisper Caches at different Torment levels to change the experience in the treasure chest. It has nothing to do with world difficulty. Potions and incense have no effect. There is no difference in the type of chest or the experience provided. After testing, it is the only number of Whisper Caches required to upgrade a character to level 60. However, you can get almost all the equipment needed for character builds from these Whisper Caches, as well as a large amount of Diablo 4 gold, and this equipment is even better than the equipment you get from normal leveling. How To Get Whisper Caches? Whether you plan to use Whisper Caches for leveling or not, the value of Whisper Caches is unquestionable, and it is worth accumulating some. Headhunts: You can get 2 to 3 Whisper Caches in each Headhunts area. Completing Whisper in this area will give you 34 Grim Favors. Tormented Boss kills: Killing these bosses will give you 5 Grim Favors. Blood Maiden kills: In each Helltide, you can get a Whisper Cache. Seething Abomination kills: Kill quickly in PVP zone. That’s how to use Whisper Caches to level up quickly in Diablo 4 Season 7. This method is currently the fastest way to build a build, which can save you a lot of time farming gold and collecting equipment. It will be particularly fast to use this method during Mother’s Blessing event, so you can give it a try.

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.

Diablo 4 Season 5 will be officially released on August 7, and players can enjoy it at that time. Many players are looking forward to what changes will appear in Season 5. Some Diablo 4 players have been very dissatisfied with drop of Unique items for a long time, and have long made suggestions to the official. The official responded that they will make changes in Season 5, but it is not certain whether drop of Unique items will be changed. The reason that Diablo 4 is loved by many players is that players can find a wide variety of weapons and gear in Sanctuary. This is a great thing for people who like treasure hunting and exploration. But you should know that Diablo 4 players biggest hunt is Unique items. Unique items mean valuable equipment that can have a significant impact on characters build. For Diablo 4 players, the most desired thing is Unique weapons and gear. This is because they not only have unique attributes and four affixes but also have general and class-specific Uniques items. If you’ve played Diablo 4, you’ll know that Harlequin Crest, also known as Shako, is very popular in the game. In this game, players can get Unique items in various ways, such as by killing enemies and defeating endgame bosses. However, some people have pointed out that there are certain problems with Unique items in this game. Some Reddit users also hope to see changes to in Season 5. Some people say that the measure taken by Diablo 4 is to make low-tier bosses only drop 925 power items at a certain time, such as making Varshan and Zir drop items only during a certain period like Duriel and Andariel. We don’t know if this is a good thing. Because we don't know if this will reduce the amount of Diablo 4 Items we should have. For some people, it is useless for a level 100 characters to get 925 power items anywhere in World Tier 4. This means that ordinary players have no rewarding for farming regular bosses. So players are asking for adjustments. Players should be supported to farm items on their own. Season 5 is a good time to make this change, and this season will focus on reworking Uniques. Some players are finally waiting for this day. Some gamers comment that this change will make regular bosses in the game more valuable. Others agree and think that’s the reason to stop farming Uniques. I think another point is that the best places for target farming in Diablo 4 are not the best Unique items. This is ridiculous. Players in Diablo 4 community are still waiting to see if Unique drops will be adjusted, but the game has changed in Season 5. In Season 5, new Uniques, consumables, and modes have been added, and Helltides have even been adjusted to make them more attractive. In addition, on August 1st, the official live broadcast will be held to further introduce the latest information about Diablo 4 Season 5. This is the opinion and speculation about the adjustment to Unique drop. If you want to learn more, you can join iGMeet discord.
