Diablo 4 Season 8 Release Delay: Is This Update A Chance To Bring A Complete Game Rework?

In the latest Diablo 4 Season 7, you may be surprised by the increased damage ability of Barbarian, because in previous seasons, this Class was abandoned by many players because of its strong survivability but insufficient damage ability. Among the many Barbarian builds, Bash Barbarian has become the most powerful and versatile dominant build this season. Bash Barbarian build is good at directly rotating around Bash to cause high damage, while using the right skills and gear to achieve the maximum effect of effectively dealing with group enemies and single target enemies, which is very rare in Season 7. It can be seen that it is very important to choose some of the best skills and gear for this outstanding Bash Barbarian build. In order to reduce the time and energy cost you spend on trying, this guide will introduce you to some build options suitable for this build, and you can make timely choices according to your game style and combat needs. About Bash Barbarian Build Bash Barbarian build is a powerful alternative to the traditional Barbarian build, adding more versatility and playability, allowing players familiar with or unfamiliar with the class to show its maximum effectiveness. However, it is worth noting that this build requires weapon Tempering, so its upgrade speed is relatively slow in the early stages of the game, but once it passes this stage, the strength of the build will increase rapidly. Active Skills Bash Barbarian build differs from Barbarian meta build that appeared this season. It does not rely on Fury, but Bash, which is your main and cost-free ability in this build. With its help, you can deal tremendous damage in both AOE and single-target situations, and it will also guarantee Overpower to enhance your Hammer of the Ancients Skill. After that, there are some common skill choices, such as Shouts to enhance the mobility, damage and survivability of your build; Rupture can give you a large buff to your sustained attack speed. Here are some active skills you can choose for Bash Barbarian build in D4S7 and the skill points they require. Bash - 5 Hammer of Ancients - 1 Rupture - 1 Steel Grasp - 1 War Cry - 1 Challenging Shout - 1 Wrath of the Berserker - 1 Rotation Once you have all the above active skills equipped, you can start the encounter with Challenging Shout, which immediately increases your survivability and increases your Fury generation. If you have boots that reduce skill cooldowns, such as Yen’s Blessing boots, you can continue to be active for the duration of the encounter. After that, you pop Wrath of the Berserker for a damage bonus and immunity to crowd control. The advice here is to spend a lot of Diablo 4 Gold to max out this skill so that you get more damage buffs. Then you use Steel Grasp to close the gap and apply Vulnerability to the enemy to activate Paingorger’s Gauntlets. At this point, you can continue to use Bash to deal continuous damage to the enemy until it reaches Overpower to trigger Hammer of the Ancients. You should also use Rupture as much as possible to get the attack speed bonus. If conditions permit, you can activate your Warcry during combat via LithOhm Rune combination to further increase damage and gain additional Berserking effects. Passive Skills In fact, for Bash Barbarian build, your focus is also on the damage ability and elemental resistance of the entire build. Although Barbarian has strong physical resistance, it is also very vulnerable to enemies that release super strong elemental damage. The following are some passive skills that can be recommended to you and the points required. Warpath - 3 Martial Vigor - 3 Tough as Nails - 1 Imposing Presence - 3 Belligerence - 3 Aggressive Resistance - 3 Prolific Fury - 3 Slaying Strike - 3 Raid Leader - 3 Booming Voice - 3 Guttural Yell - 1 Pit Fighter - 3 Wallop - 3 No Mercy - 1 Slaying Strike - 3 Thick Skin - 1 Counteroffensive - 3 Defensive Stance - 1 Heavy Handed - 3 Brute Force - 1 Wallop - 3 Key Passive: Unconstrained Witchcraft Powers & Occult Gems In the current Season 7, two new Diablo 4 Items, Witchcraft Powers and Occult Gems, have been added, which increases the diversity of builds that players can make in the game. They will provide you with very beneficial buffs in different aspects of your build, and for Bash Barbaria build, you can pick the following build options for it. Soul Harvest - Drain life force from nearby enemies. Aura Specialization - Increases the size of your aura and slightly buffs the damage of your critical strikes. Piranhado - It draws together swarms of enemies. Hex of Whispers - Deals additional shadow damage. Aura of Siphoning - It gives off a healing aura. Breath of the Coven - Increases attack speed. Friend of the Bog - Increases skill damage, armor, resistance and health. Phantom String - Increases damage. Toadling’s Wish - Growth and Decay Witch powers are 35% more powerful. Gear When choosing gear for Bash Barbarian build, you should pay attention to weapon slots and armor slots as much as possible, because these two are the most critical attribute concentration points of the entire build. It is worth mentioning here that although Barbarian focuses on outputting physical damage, in the current season, you can cleverly combine this damage ability with fire damage. The following are some gear you can choose for Bash Barbarian build, but some of them require you to invest a lot of Diablo 4 Gold and energy to cultivate in D4. You can replace them with some items with similar attributes according to your needs. Ugly Bastard Helm - Helm Shroud of False Death - Chest Paingorger’s Gauntlets - Glove Hectic Runic Leggins - Pants Yen’s Blessing - Boots Bonebreaker of the Moonrise - Melee Weapon 1 Shard of Verathiel - Melee Weapon 2 Obsidian Blade of Earthquakes - Melee Weapon 3 Demonblade of the Inner Calm - Melee Weapon 4 Amulet of Adaptability - Amulet Edgemaster’s Band - Ring Ring of Starless Skies - Ring The above are some suitable skills and gear for you to choose for Bash Barbarian build in D4 Season 7. Once again, the items and skills provided for you here are based on the attributes and statistics shown in the current game, but since each player’s play style and build ideas are different, some of them allow you to make timely adjustments. I wish you a happy game!

In Diablo 4, Vessel of Hatred introduces a new type of currency to the game, Pale Marks. These marks are closely tied to Mercenary system, and as you level up Mercenaries in the game, you’ll be rewarded with a certain number of Pale Marks. These companions will not only accompany you on your solo adventures, but they can also help you obtain powerful Legendary gear and Mercenary loot caches through Pale Marks they bring. Although the specific sources of Pale Marks are not clearly stated in the game, players can easily accumulate this currency in a variety of ways. In addition, the design of the loot system does bring a lot of challenges to players, especially for those who are eager to obtain specific equipment. Take Shroud of False Death as an example. This chest armor has become one goal pursued by many players because of its powerful properties. But given its rarity and the uncertainty of the drop mechanism, obtaining it may require a certain amount of patience and strategy. In order to increase the chances of obtaining this equipment, we provide players with three strategies that can be adopted. As for which is your best choice, it will mainly depend on your luck and the reagents you have to make it. Of course, besides accumulating resources through daily quests and activities, some players may consider using Diablo 4 Gold to speed up the process. How To Get Pale Marks? First, improving your relationship with Mercenaries is an important way to earn Pale Marks. Whenever you level up with a Mercenary’s Rapport, you will usually receive a batch of 100 to 200 coins. These coins can be used at Fayira in Den to obtain Legendary gear and loot caches. Once you reach the maximum Rapport with a particular Mercenary, all XP you receive from that Mercenary will be converted into 200 Pale Marks. This means that once you have established the deepest relationship with a Mercenary, you can continue to gain Pale Marks by accumulating experience, and there is no upper limit to this process. This mechanism applies to all mercenaries who have reached the highest Rapport. Pale Marks are account-bound resources, allowing players to use them on multiple characters. How To Use Pale Marks? The use of Pale Marks is relatively limited, and they are mainly redeemed through Fayira in Den. Players can use Pale Marks in Fayira’s shop to redeem various Diablo 4 Items, including Mercenary caches that unlock as Mercenary Rapport increases. Each character can unlock two bartering upgrades at Rapport 5 and 8. If Fayira’s shop doesn’t have an item you’re interested in, you’ll have one free chance to reopen the barter shop each day, but each re-roll after that will cost 50 Pale Marks. Items in the shop usually cost between 20 and 50 Pale Marks, but aspect caches can cost slightly more on average. Shroud Of False Death Explained All classes can use this mythic unique chest armor, which has unparalleled properties and unique effects, providing the wearer with a bonus to all passive skills +1, all stats +160, and max life +800, making the wearer more powerful in battle. In addition, when the wearer enters the invisible state, the damage of the next attack will be increased by 333%, which is a tremendous advantage for any class. Moreover, Shroud Of False Death also has the effect of resource generation +11.1%. However, the real uniqueness of Shroud Of False Death is that if you do not cause damage within two seconds, it will make you enter the invisible state and provide 40% movement speed. This allows the wearer to dodge enemy attacks more flexibly in battle, while also making better use of the additional damage effect after entering the invisible state. How To Get Shroud Of False Death? There are three main ways to get Shroud Of False Death: 1. Craft It At The Blacksmith Before you can craft Shroud Of False Death you first need to get 6 Bac Runes, 6 Moni Runes, 6 Kry Runes and 2 Resplendent Sparks. You can get these crafting materials by exploring and completing Kurast Undercity endgame content. In addition, Uber bosses are another good way to get crafting runes. These powerful enemies often drop rare runes and equipment. As for Resplendent Sparks, you can get them through season journeys, or by defeating Uber bosses. Season journeys are a regularly updated game mode that provides additional challenges and rewards, including Resplendent Sparks. 2. Get It As A Boss Drop You can also choose to farm the following bosses to get Shroud of False Death. Beast in the Ice Echo of Andariel Echo of Duriel Grigoire Lord Zir Varshan While the drop rates from these bosses may not be the best, grinding these bosses may be the easiest way to get Shroud of False Death, although this may become tedious or time-consuming. But Shroud of False Death is a very useful piece of equipment for any profession, especially Spiritborn. Therefore, if you want to get this powerful equipment, you might as well try to challenge these bosses. 3. Gamble At Purveyor Of Curiosities In addition to the two main methods mentioned above, you can also get it by gambling at Purveyor of Curiosities for mythic Uniques. In summary, I hope this guide will be helpful for players who are eager to own these two items. Paying attention to Giveaway channel in iGMeet discord is also an excellent opportunity to obtain rare items and equipment. Diablo 4 product giveaway information will be released from time to time. Remember to be active in the discord group. Good luck.

Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred brings players a brand new adventure, not only deepening the game’s story background but also greatly enriching the game’s content by introducing the character of Neyrelle and her exploration journey in Nahantu jungle. In addition, the expansion also adds a very powerful profession - Spiritborn, which has attracted the attention of many players with its unique skills and combat style. Vessel of Hatred has also made a lot of optimizations and improvements to the basic game experience, making the whole game smoother and more attractive. However, besides the obvious changes mentioned above, Vessel of Hatred has quietly added three new monster families, bringing players an unprecedented challenge experience. The three newly added monsters are Hollows, Dregs, and Lacuni. Although Lacuni is not a completely unfamiliar existence, it has made a brief appearance in the previous game. Read this guide to learn more about each new monster family. Hollows The birth of Hollows is closely related to Neyrelle’s adventure. As Neyrelle travels deep into the mysterious jungles of Nahantu, she accidentally touches Mephisto’s soul stone and is burned by the powerful corruption it emanates. In an attempt to ease the pain, she dips her injured hand and soul stone into water in an attempt to cool them down. However, this action has an unexpected consequence, as Mephisto’s corruption quickly spreads across the entire Nahantu region. Over time, this black, tar-like corruption gradually coalesces and forms into Hollows. These creatures, made of corrupt matter, are numerous and extremely aggressive, and they begin to pose a great threat to the people and cities in the surrounding area. Players will first encounter this new family of monsters shortly after meeting Raheir. With such powerful and strange enemies, it may be a good idea to obtain more Diablo 4 Gold to equip your character faster. Dregs Another new family of monsters that attracts attention are Dregs. Unlike other creatures in the game, Dregs are not born monsters, but are actually once humans. These unfortunate souls were driven into a state of uncontrollable psychosis by tasting a hallucinogen found in Nahantu’s flora and fauna. Over time, these once normal humans gradually lost their minds and became one enemy that players face in the game today. They roam the deep jungles of Nahantu and have become a threat that cannot be ignored. Lacuni Lacuni are the only creatures that are familiar to veteran players of the series. However, this race has undergone significant changes throughout the development of Diablo series, and has undergone major adjustments and evolutions in both appearance and combat style, making their return a familiar and fresh experience for players. Lacuni are highly intelligent and aggressive feline bipedal creatures, commonly referred to as “Panther-men” or “Sabre Cats.” Lacuni social structure is similar to the group model of lions, showing the characteristics of a patriarchal society. In this system, male Lacuni are usually more robust and stronger, which makes them naturally take on the role of leaders in the tribe. In contrast, female Lacuni have shown excellent hunting skills and become an indispensable female hunter within the family. The origins of Lacuni can be traced back to Kehjistan, where they originally maintained a relatively harmonious relationship with humans. There was frequent exchange of goods between the two races, forming a mutually beneficial situation. However, the good times did not last long. As time went by, especially around Darkening of Tristram, because of some unknown reasons, the relationship between the two sides deteriorated sharply, and Lacuni began to show strong hostility towards the surrounding world. Since then, this once friendly race has gradually developed into one of the most well-known and threatening existences in Diablo series. In Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred, this classic monster family appears again. This time they appear in Teganze Plateau area of ​​the new Nahantu region. Here, Lacuni will not only use traditional melee weapons to attack but also use long-range means such as javelins and throwing grenades to fight against players who dare to enter their territory. It is worth noting that Lacuni first appeared in Diablo 2, and it is particularly appropriate that they return this time and become one of the main enemies of Nahantu - because Nahantu is also one map that was first introduced to the game world in Diablo 2. This design consistency not only enhances the consistency of the storyline of the entire series but also makes old players feel familiar, while also attracting new players to explore more about the story behind this world. By introducing these new monster families, Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred not only provides players with a richer and more diverse gaming experience but also deepens the game’s story background and worldview. Hollows, Dregs, and Lacuni each have unique background stories and combat styles. Their existence not only increases the complexity and challenge of the game but also brings new exploration fun to players.
