Diablo 4 Season 8 Mythic Uniques Tier: Which Ones Should You Use?

As the enlightenment of many players to action role-playing games, Diablo 4 has been going further and further on the road of constantly bringing new game content to players, and it will celebrate its second anniversary this fall. At present, D4 Season 8, which will be released on April 29, may give players a very big surprise first. The theme of this new season is Belial’s Return. As the name suggests, you will face off against Belial, Lord of Lies, a powerful opponent introduced from Diablo 3, and you can find very valuable items from the loot it drops, such as the many Legendary Aspects and Unique Items added in this new season. Although the developers have already released many announcements about this new season, and there have been multiple leaks on many player communities and social platforms, in this guide, we will give you a comprehensive overview of all the new game content that Diablo 4 Season 8: Belial’s Return will bring, and predict how they will change your exploration. New Season Story As with all previous season updates, players will experience an entirely new seasonal story in Diablo 4 Season 8. You must join forces with the two main characters (Seyeena, a retired Vizjerei sorcerer, and Jarius, a self-styled knight of the Cathedral of Light) to unravel the mysteries of the Sanctuary and hunt down Belial. Although each new season of Diablo 4 will launch a new game story, the story in this season is directly related to your main quest in the entire game, because in the official trailer Belial mentioned the information that Mephisto awakened in human form in Sanctuary, which gives players the opportunity to appreciate the evolution of the story while waiting for the next expansion of Diablo 4. In fact, this high correlation between the season plot and the main plot makes most players more willing to accept the long gap between expansions, and they are looking forward to the developers linking some of the side stories in the season plot with the expansion or the next season, which will make players feel that each part is weaving a bigger puzzle for the main plot, thereby deepening their interest in exploring it. Reintroduction And Rework Of Boss As just introduced, in this new season you will have a final confrontation with the reintroduced Belial, Lord of Lies, a monster with armored claws, three horns, and yellow eyes that glow like lamps. In the console version of Diablo 3, the player’s battle with Belial underwent some major changes in the third stage: the camera angle changed from above to directly in front of the boss. Although there is no guarantee whether this change will happen in the encounter between this monster and the player in this Diablo 4, I think this battlefield scene without an isometric perspective may scare all players and allow players to immerse themselves in this ultimate showdown. Note that to start this battle you will need to speak to Stranger next to Waypoint in Kyovashad’s city center to receive a quest log that includes this battle. In addition, you need to have completed all the main campaigns in the game and have a new character in Seasonal Realm. The most important thing to remember is that you need to spend as much Diablo 4 Gold as possible before taking on Belial so that you have a nearly perfect endgame build that will give you a better chance of winning and fewer deaths in this final encounter. In addition to the reintroduction of Belial, the developers have also made some improvements to some existing bosses in the game, for example, boss classifications will change from the previous Endgame and Ladder bosses to Initiate, Greater, and Exalted Lair bosses, which will increase in difficulty and rewards. In addition, the boss summoning materials that have been continued for several seasons will also begin to end. In this season, Lair Boss no longer requires materials such as Duriel Materials or Andariel Materials to summon, making its challenge much easier, but the amount of loot you get, such as D4 Gold after its death will also be reduced accordingly. Not only that, the loot it offers you will appear in the form of a Hoard, which you need to use the corresponding number of Lair Boss keys to unlock and claim - 12 for Initiate, 3 for Greater, and only 2 for Exalted. And now the locations of these Lair Bosses will also have unique map icons on the mini-map, and you can use the teleport function to directly reach the designated dungeon. New Mechanic: Boss Powers & Apparition Incursion Event Of course, Diablo 4’s changes to bosses go far beyond this: now you can gain powers from World, Event, and Lair Bosses after defeating them, including a primary skill that Boss previously used on you and a modifiable modifier. As far as we know, you can use up to four Boss Powers at once - one primary and three modifiers, all of which enhance your character’s abilities and improve your gameplay experience. While some well-informed action RPG fans will find these mechanics very familiar, it’s still quite shocking when the developers actually show players this mechanic in a cinematic trailer. In addition, the newly added Apparition Incursion Event, a periodic event, will bring some Apparition monsters with Belial mark into Sanctuary. You need to clear them all, no matter what difficulty level you are at. After you have cleared all the enemies and the progress bar at the bottom of the screen is full, one of 10 Apparition Bosses will appear and challenge you. New Battle Pass System: Reliquary After many players complained, the developers finally made a comprehensive change to the battle pass system in Diablo 4. Currently, you can choose the order and type of rewards you want to receive. For example, if you need weapons more, you can unlock Weapons Reliquary first, and then receive your season rewards in order. In addition, in the subsequent game process, Reliquary may also be associated with IP cooperation and some milestone events to launch some event Reliquary. They may exist for a short time, but their significance is extraordinary. Since Diablo 4 has made so many changes in Season 8, many players are looking forward to the impact of these changes, including many loyal fans of other similar players. In fact, I really hope that the developers will continue to maintain the frequency of such major updates so that players will gradually become more interested in its next expansion. I wish you a happy game!

In Season 8 of Diablo 4, Sorcerer has been significantly buffed. Both boss powers and new unique items can help Sorcerer, making Sorcerer possibly the best class in Season 8. In Season 8, Sorcerer is very strong in two play styles, one is freezing and the other is flame. Teleport Burn Sorcerer is a build based on dealing a lot of fire damage to the enemy. With the addition of Boss Powers, it may become one of the meta builds for Sorcerer. Skills Primary: Fire Bolt (Rank 1): Fires a Fire Bolt that deals 18% damage and 44% burn damage over 6 seconds. Ice Armor (Rank 1): Creates a Barrier around you that absorbs 56% of your maximum health. Secondary: Unstable Currents (Rank 5): When you cast a Shock Skill, you will randomly cast a Core, Conjuration, or Mastery Shock Skill. Flame Shield (Rank 1): Over two seconds, burn nearby enemies for 40% damage. Firewall (Rank 1): Creates a Firewall that lasts for 8 seconds, dealing 230% Fire damage to enemies that pass through it. Teleport (Rank 2): Rush unstoppably to the target location, dealing 35% damage to nearby enemies upon arrival. Enchantments: Incinerate (Rank 1): Summons a beam of fire that deals 120% damage to enemies per second. Damage increases over 2 seconds, up to 162%. While channeling this skill, damage is reduced by 20%. Teleport (Rank 1): Dodge is replaced with a short-distance teleport with a cooldown of 17.0 seconds, and the unstoppable effect is removed. Fire Bolt and Ice Armor are the main damage-dealing and survival skills of Sorcerer. Fire Bolt can deal fire damage to enemies at a distance. Since Sorcerer has low health and armor, Ice Armor is needed to allow Sorcerer to withstand more attacks. You can learn these skills very early, and they allow you to safely and efficiently kill some early enemies. Therefore, this build is also very suitable for leveling and farming gold. Teleport is both a survival skill and a damage skill. It allows Sorcerer to transform into lightning and rush to the target location, dealing damage after arriving. This skill can not only allow Sorcerer to escape smoothly when surrounded, but also cooperate with Boss Power in Season 8. Boss Powers (Main) Sinerats Flames (Subs) Krima’s Sparks, Avarice Explosive ore, Andariels Flaming Skull Sinerats Flames is a Boss Power that can deal fire damage. When you use a Mobility Skill, you can deal a large amount of fire damage to nearby enemies. At the highest level, it can deal 1,540% Burning damage to nearby enemies over 4 seconds. Teleport is a Mobility Skill. Sinerats Flames can be unlocked at any difficulty by defeating Sinerat Apparition in Apparition Incursion event. It is a Magic Boss power and requires relatively few materials to upgrade. Therefore, you can basically complete Teleport Burn Sorcerer build early in the game. If you find skills that work better with Boss Powers in Season 8, you can always change Boss Powers and reset your skill points with gold. Equipment Helm: Harlequin Crest Chest Armor: Shroud of False Death Gloves: Aspect of Engulfing Flames Pants: Snowveiled Aspect Boots: Aspect of the Orange Herald Weapon: Aspect of Conflagration Amulet: Aspect of Creeping Death Ring 1: Aspect of Inner Calm Ring 2: Tal Rasha’s Iridescent Loop Offhand: Conceited Aspect Two-handed weapons can bring higher DPS to this build, but using one-handed weapons can provide extra CD time for the off-hand weapon. You can choose which weapon according to your habits. The above methods of obtaining weapons and equipment are not too difficult. Except for Shroud of False Death and Harlequin Crest, which are Ancestral Mythic Uniques, the others are basically some aspects. You need to find The Occultist, extract the unique effects from the items, and then put these Aspects of the weapons and equipment you need. This process will consume some Diablo 4 Gold. If you plan to replace these equipments, then you need to focus on finding items with the following affixes: Reduce Skills Cooldown Increase Fire Damage Increase Attack Speed Items with these affixes are the best for this build, and you can use them before you get the best equipment and weapons. Active Runes Armor Cir: Magic Rune of Ritual, release 5 Skills will fatigue 3 seconds. Ohm: Legendary Rune of Invocation, summon Barbarian’s War Cry Skill, increase your damage by 15% in 6 seconds, CD time 2 seconds. Weapons Igni: Legendary Rune of Ritual, store an Offering every 0.3 seconds, and also store an Offering when releasing Basic skills, up to 500. Qax: Rare Rune of Invocation, the next Non-Basic Skill will consume Primary Resource, causing up to 100% additional damage. Gems Weapon: Amethyst Amulet: Skull Armor: Topaz Ring 1: Skull Ring 2: Diamond Gems can bring you a lot of gains, and the above gems are the most suitable for Teleport Burn Sorcerer Build. The above is the general content of Teleport Burn Sorcerer build. Since Season 8 has not yet been officially launched, this build is built based on the content of PTR 2.2.0. After Season 8 is officially launched, you can make adjustments.

If you have been playing Diablo 4 since Season 2, you must be familiar with Echo of Varshan. It has been the endgame boss of this game since then. Like other endgame bosses, Echo of Varshan will also provide you with some very useful loot for your endgame builds. But in fact, defeating Echo of Varshan is not a simple task. You need to collect some rare summoning materials and summon it at a designated location before you can start your fight with it. If you have not yet explored this terrible boss, this guide will show you how to summon it and take its loot smoothly. How To Find Echo Of Varshan? The first thing you need to understand is that Echo of Varshan will appear in World Tier 3 or World Tier 4, so your character must also reach this Tier to participate in the subsequent battle. Once your character and build are strong enough, you can head to Tree of Whispers Waypoint, and you’ll find a cave called Malignant Burrow behind a tree. In the cave, there’s a path that leads you to a small dungeon. At the end of the dungeon, there’s an altar, which is where you place your summoning materials. In Diablo 4 Season 5, you can fight two variants of Echo of Varshan - the standard variant and Tormented variant. For the standard Echo of Varshan, you’ll need to provide 2 Malignant Hearts in World Tier 3 and 5 Malignant Hearts in World Tier 4, while for Tormented Echo of Varshan, you’ll need to provide 15 Malignant Hearts and a Stygian Stone obtained from The Pit. These summoning materials all require you to fight a few battles to get them, so before you start farming for them, you’ll also want to make sure your build is strong enough to get through Sanctuary. If not, upgrade it as soon as possible using Diablo 4 Gold. How To Get Malignant Hearts? Currently, you can farm Malignant Hearts in a number of ways. The first is to perform Grim Favors, which will give you some Malignant Hearts from Tree of Whispers caches. In addition, every Grotesque Debtor that spawns around Whispers and World Bosses has a chance to drop some Malignant Hearts. When a Grotesque Debtor spawns, you will find a signal in the text bulletin at the top of the screen, which you can use to maximize your farming efficiency. Alternatively, you can find some Malignant Hearts in Helltide Chests, Infernal Hordes, or Nightmare Dungeons. How To Defeat Echo Of Varshan? Although Echo of Varshan is not the most challenging boss in the game, you still need to learn some combat skills and strategies before fighting it. Here are the things you need to pay attention to when fighting it. Enhance Shadow Resistance Before fighting, you need to know that Echo of Varshan will launch some arcane assaults on you, so you need to enhance some magical defenses accordingly. If you can’t reach 70% Shadow Resistance cap in your build, you can try to use Potent Elixir of Shadow Resistance to help you complete this defense build. Pay Attention To Your Position Between You And Boss During the battle, Echo of Varshan is very flexible and will appear near you unexpectedly and cause damage to you, so you need to pay attention to your position between you and the boss. The best position is to be behind Echo of Varshan so that its frontal attacks on you will not be effective. Pay Attention To Some Void Zones Besides arcane assaults, Echo of Varshan will also generate triangular void zones for you. These areas will adjust in real time according to the direction of the boss’s movement, and once you enter these areas, you will be very damaged. So you also need to pay attention to the direction of these areas. Initial Elite Adds During the battle, Echo of Varshan will also summon two powerful Elites to help it knock you down. At this point, you should focus on the two Elites, not the boss. Because they will also do a lot of damage to you and will cause your health to decline faster. Echo Of Varshan’s Loot When you use different classes, the loot you get from Echo of Varshan will also be different. You can refer to the following list for specific loot. However, it should be noted that not all Uniques will appear in a battle, but there is a chance to appear. The same is true for Mythic Uniques dropped by Tormented Echo of Varshan. In the change of endgame bosses drop rate in Season 5, all Tormented variants of Boss have only 7.5% chance to drop Mythic Uniques. If your goal is only Mythic Uniques and the build is strong enough, you can directly challenge Tormented Echo of Varshan. Barbarian: Fields of Crimson & 100,000 Steps & Gohr’s Devastating Grips & Ring of Red Furor Druid: Mad Wolf’s Glee & Vasily’s Prayer & Greatstaff of the Crone & Airidah’s Inexorable Will Necromancer: Bloodless Scream & Deathless Visage & Deathspeaker’s Pendant & Ring of the Sacrilegious Soul Rogue: Condemnation & Eyes in the Dark & Skyhunter & Writhing Band of Trickery Sorcerer: Staff of Endless Rage & Esu’s Heirloom & Raiment of the Infinite & Tal Rasha’s Iridescent Loop All Class: Frostburn & Mother’s Embrace About Mythic Unique Items Doombringer Grandfather Melted Heart of Selig Andariel’s Visage Harlequin Crest Tyrael’s Might Ring of Starless Skies The above is an introduction to some summoning methods, combat skills and loot for Echo of Varshan in Diablo 4 Season 5. Hopefully, this guide will make your battle with this boss easier. The next season and DLC for Diablo 4 will be announced soon. If you have any interest in them, you can discuss them in iGMeet Discord. In addition, you can also participate in a lottery and have a chance to win some summoning materials needed for the boss. The list of winners will be announced on September 18th. Good luck!

Diablo 4’s second Public Test Realm (PTR) will be officially launched from June 25 to July 2, providing players with an opportunity to test the fresh changes and features of Season 5 in advance. Then the developers will adjust the feedback from players and finally present the best Diablo 4 Season 5 to players! The following are the new events you can experience in Season 5 PTR. I believe you will definitely be impatient, right? Then let’s have a look! Eternal Questline: Eyes Of The Enemy Season 5 tells a new story - enemies are eliminated, changes occur within the alliance, and you will find an unexpected friend emerging from the shadows. So there will also be a new Questline in PTR. It mainly occurs after Main Questline event, and can be used in Seasonal and Eternal Realms, and there is no need to worry that it will disappear after the end of Season 5. It will remain in Eternal realm. Season 5’s Main Questline requires you to travel to Hawezar in World Tier III and investigate the unrest among the inhabitants of the city there. Once you’ve completed it, you can fight the Infernal Hordes, a new game activity added in Season 5. It’s important to note that this quest only needs to be completed once on your account and does not require a new character to perform. Fighting With Infernal Hordes Some players found Helltides very difficult in previous seasons, but in Season 5, it’s just waiting for the horror to begin. In Realm of Hatred, you’ll fight against the seemingly ever-growing Hell’s Legions, and beware that they’re getting stronger every day. You can kill the demons in Infernal Hordes activity, and after completing it, you can get Burning Aether, which will help you unlock more powerful weapons or more rewards. In addition, you can fight a powerful Fell Council. Enter Realm Of Hatred With Infernal Compass So how can you enter Realm of Hatred? You need to use a tool called Infernal Compass. There are two ways to get this Diablo 4 Item - the first is that you have a chance to get them as rewards after defeating Endgame Bosses, Helltides, Nightmare Dungeons, and Whispers. The second way is a little easier. Just complete the latest Eternal quest to get them. Infernal Hordes What you need to pay attention to in Infernal Hordes is that it is time-limited, and each wave only lasts 90 seconds. When you finish a wave, you can collect Burning Aether, which can be used in Infernal run. After each wave of 90 seconds is over, you need to kill the remaining enemies and choose between three Infernal Offers. After making your choice, the next wave of attacks begins. After you successfully kill all the attacks in all waves in Tier, you can fight the Fell Council! After defeating it, you will also receive Burning Aether, which can be exchanged for Spoils of Hell. Infernal Offer As mentioned earlier, after each wave, there will be three different Infernal Offers that can provide you with Boons and Banes, which can play a big role in your battle. For example, when Elite damage increases, Elites will give you more Burning Aether. Remember to choose clearly. Infernal Offers will continue to accumulate as you fight Infernal Hordes, and you can activate multiple. Infernal Offers will also help you increase the difficulty of the battle, but will give you more Burning Aether. But be careful, it is better to be moderate, don’t be too aggressive. Burning Aether As just introduced, Burning Aether is mainly obtained by killing Aether Fiends and Aether Lords in Realm of Hatred. In addition, you can also destroy Soulspires and Aetheric Masses, both of which can allow you to obtain Burning Aether. It is important to remind you that Burning Aether is obtained individually, whether you play alone or with friends. This also makes it easier for you to think about how to use it when you are ready to use it at the end of the run. Spoils Of Hell Spoils of Hell are mainly unlocked by Burning Aether, and there will be four different Spoils of Hell for you to choose from. Spoils of Equipment Spoils of Materials Spoils of Gold Spoils of Greater Equipment Fighting With Fell Priests If you are lucky enough to survive Infernal Hordes, Fell Council awaits you. These noble priests were originally created to protect players from Prime Evil Mephisto in Diablo 2. Unfortunately, they were corrupted and assimilated into the demons they had been fighting. There are 5 Fell Council Members in Fell Priests, each with unique abilities. When you start to prepare to fight a Fell Council, they will send 3 members to fight you. This is all random, so you need to be careful of their unique combination of abilities. Once you have done enough damage to Fell Council, especially when their health is low, priests’ attacks will become more frenzied. You must always be vigilant if you want to survive. New Weapons And Items Because the furnaces in Burning Hell burn so vigorously, the weapons they create also have surprising abilities. Many of the new Legendaries, Uniques, and items in Season 5 are created here. These items are mainly dropped from the remains of enemies in the Sanctuary, but they are most likely to be obtained in the Infernal Hordes mentioned above. Experience Endgame Bosses In Season 5 PTR, you no longer need to reset the dungeon to achieve the result of killing the same boss repeatedly. You only need to see the summoning Altar automatically appear after killing a boss and use more resources to kill the boss again. Also, Malignant Hearts are only required to summon Varshan, and Trembling Hands, Blackened Femurs, and Gurgling Heads are no longer required. In addition, Endgame Bosses will drop additional Diablo 4 Gold, making these items no longer rare items. Next, introduce a few Endgame Bosses, so that you can learn more about them and better defeat them in future battles. Beast In Ice Beast in Ice boss fight has now been moved to the standard dungeon, so you don’t need to craft a sigil to enter. However, if you already have Beast in Ice sigils obtained from the Seasonal Realm or Eternal characters, remember to keep them. You don’t need to use any materials to enter the battle with Beast in Ice. Loot Rewards In Season 5 PTR, the Resplendent Spark you get after defeating Tormented bosses is now available in both Hardcore and non-Hardcore. Note that Resplendent Sparks and Scattered Prisms will no longer be automatically looted, but don’t worry about missing them, as any items you didn’t get to pick up will be found in the lost items Stash. Treasure Goblins In previous games, the loot quality of Treasure Goblins has been criticized by players. This time in Season 5 PTR, some improvements have been made. Now you can drop 1-3 Legendary Items and 2-6 Rare Items, and the number of these two items is proportional. The more Legendary Items you get, the more Rare Items you will get. Not only has the quality been improved in a lot of ways that players have wanted, but there are also some specific items that have appeared, such as Common Ore, Herbs, Leather, and Gem Fragments, and even Diablo 4 Gold. For example, in World Tier I, you get 40k Gold; in World Tier IV, you get 150k Gold. In addition to the items just mentioned, Treasure Goblins also drop Forgotten Souls. In addition, in World Tier I and II/World Tier III/World Tier IV, there is a 10/20/30% chance of dropping 1-2 Scattered Prisms. We have introduced so many details about Diablo 4 Season 5 PTR. Let’s look forward to its release on June 25! We look forward to your more feedback to make Season 5 better.
