Diablo 4 Season 8 New IP Collaborate Speculation: Who Will It Be?

Season 8 PTR has ended, and the rankings for each class in Season 8 have been revealed. With Season 8 now live, the official has to make major adjustments to each class. Some top builds in Season 7 may not perform so well in Season 8. Please read below to see where your favorite class stands in Season 8. And consider whether you need to change your main character in Season 8. Barbarian Thankfully, Barbarian’s position in Season 8 has barely changed. Earthquakes Barbarians is still one of the best Barbarian builds in Season 8. That’s not to say that Barbarian has not been affected at all. The overall difficulty of Season 8 has increased, and Earthquakes is not as dominant as it was in Season 7, but fortunately the boss powers are powerful enough to bring more powerful damage to the various characters. Especially Belial’s Eye Beams, and this Boss Power makes Barbarian truly brutal. This doesn’t mean that Earthquakes Barbarians is the only endgame build, in fact, Mighty Throw and Whirlwind Barbarians are both very good. Barbarians’ leveling speed from level 1 to 60 in Season 8 has not slowed down as expected, and farming Diablo 4 Gold is still very efficient. However, the interval between level 60 and reaching the maximum level of boss power is very long. All classes will face this problem. Druid Despite the nerfs suffered by Druids in Season 7, Cataclysm Druid build is still one of the best builds in the game. However, Druids in Season 8 are not as good as they were in Season 7. The main reason is that Druids’ new unique items and legendary aspects in Season 8 have very average performance and do not bring much improvement to Druids. Druids’ new unique helmet Gathlen’s Birthright needs to be combined with other parts to work. And while the new unique affix can enhance Nature’s Fury Druid, it can’t reliably trigger Perfect Storm and Earthen Might. Aspect of Impending Deluge has also become less useful in World Tier 4, and it will not be useful in Season 8 unless it is greatly enhanced. In general, Druid is currently in a dilemma, that is, the current Druid build relies more on Aspects, but the overall performance of various Aspects is not very strong. With the difficulty of Season 8 increasing, Druid’s performance will not be as good as Season 7. Necromancer The performance of Necromancer in Season 8 can be described as disappointing. The new unique items and legendary aspects of Necromancer have strengthened the strength of Necromancer in summons. However, due to the excessive strength of Necromancer in Season 7, he suffered a comprehensive weakening in Season 8. Blood Wave Necromancer was very good in Season 7 because the build was not very dependent on summons, which gave it an advantage in leveling, farming gold, and fighting bosses. In Season 8, despite the increase in the skill cap, the related unique items and legendary items were severely nerfed. Another bad thing is the rework of Blood Lance, which was previously an area skill and lacked AoE effects. After the redesign, Blood Lance increased the damage to single enemies, but became worse against groups of enemies. If you were a Necromancer main in Season 7, you may want to consider changing your main. Rogue If there is any class that performed the worst in Season 8, it is definitely Rogue. The performance of this class in Season 7 was only average, and it was behind Spiritborn in almost every aspect. Now the key items of Rogue builds, Fists of Fate and Worldly Fortune, suffered a devastating blow in Season 8. They lost the effect of applying various control effects on monsters, which many Rogue builds are built around. Rogue’s enhancements in Season 8 are mainly focused on traps, and Death Trap Rogue build should perform better in Season 8. But overall, Rogue has almost completely lost the characteristics of this class, and the developers may need to redesign this class. Sorcerer The biggest beneficiary of Season 8 is here. Sorcerer has not performed well in previous seasons. In Season 8, Sorcerer may become the best class. The main reason for this is the impact of BOSS Powers, Andariel’s Flaming Skull. It can bring amazing fire damage to Sorcerer, and there is also Combustion, which can convert various Burning synergies into multiplier damage. When the two are combined, Combustion can convert the modifier value of Andariel’s Flaming Skull into the main output damage of Sorcerer. As a leveling build, Hydra Familiar Sorcerer will rise in the builds rank in Season 8. With enhanced fire damage, Sorcerer will be very outstanding at clearing dungeons, completing seasonal activities, and farming gold. Spiritborn Spiritborn is not affected much in Season 8. It still has a flexible build method, but it will not have the dominance like Season 6. Its damage is in the middle of all classes. The new items Sunbird’s Gorget and Rip and Tear Aspect cannot push Spiritborn back to the S-tier. The developers said that Spiritborn is in a state of balance, and in Season 8, Spiritborn will rely more on boss powers such as Ashava’s Poison Breath and Andariel’s Flaming Skull. In any case, Spiritborn will still be an interesting class in Season 8. The above is about the adjustments to various builds in Season 8. Players can use this as a reference. Before Season 8 is officially launched, the specific values may be changed.

The delay of Diablo 4 Season 8 to April 29 is somewhat frustrating. But the good news is that the developers will bring major changes in Season 8. Previously, the developers claimed that an “old friend” would return in Season 8. Players have been speculating and guessing about this. Now the answer has been revealed. It is Belial, the boss in Diablo 3. Changes There has been such a saying in Diablo 4 player community. The fun of Diablo 4 is to level up and obtain equipment before clearing the game constantly. Once the endgame is reached, the character basically becomes invincible, and even the boss is difficult to challenge. Therefore, in the endgame of Diablo 4, even if the player obtains a lot of Diablo 4 Gold, unique weapons or legendary equipment, it is difficult to have the excitement of the game’s pioneering period. In other words, the game becomes boring due to the excessive performance of the character in the late game. To change this situation, the developers announced that they will introduce the following changes in the next season: Players will reach level 60 more slowly, and Torment will become more difficult Three new bosses will be added to the game in Season 8, including Belial from Diablo 3 Re-adjust the drop rate of legendary equipment Difficulty The developers intend to increase the difficulty of the game in Season 8 greatly. In Season 7, half of the players reached the highest difficulty of the game, Torment 4, which was far beyond their expectations. The development team estimated that the number of players was only 10%. Therefore, in order to reach this number, the difficulty in Season 8 will be greatly increased, making Torment 4 like “real hell”. I hope that the developers will not only make changes in the numerical value, because the simple numerical change will not satisfy the players. Because the monsters that were originally easy to kill suddenly have extremely high health and attack power in the next difficulty, which will make players feel that their upgrades are not rewarded, giving players a sense of frustration. It would be better to introduce some mechanical changes. Boss I’ve always felt that Diablo 4 doesn’t have enough bosses, especially compared to Path of Exile 2. Fortunately, Season 8 will add three new end-game bosses: Urivar, Harbinger of Hatred, and Belial, the Lord of Lies. Belial, the Lord of Lies, will serve as the game’s pinnacle boss. He must have left a deep impression on players of Diablo III’s multi-stage second act battle, and in the final stage, this hideous demon’s huge body took up most of your screen. Diablo IV’s lead season designer Deric Nuñez told players: “He is climbing his way to the top of the lair boss ladder. He is the new exalted pinnacle challenge within the ladder. He is the highest challenge, the highest reward.” The theme of Season 8 should be bosses. After defeating a boss, players will unlock the boss’s skills and use them. It is said that there will be 24 boss skills for players to collect, experiment with, and combine. Honestly, playing a boss is way more fun than playing a witch. I’m already excited about Season 8. In addition to the new boss powers, the team also announced that the boss summoning conditions will be simplified in Season 8. Summoning bosses no longer requires a variety of summons. These messy summons really pollute the player’s inventory. Boss Ladder system will be removed and replaced by Lair Key system. Each boss requires its own Lair Key, and the main purpose of these keys is to unlock the loot after defeating the boss. Without a Lair Key, even if you defeat the boss, you can’t even get any Diablo 4 Gold in the treasure chest. In addition, Apparition Incursions will be introduced in Season 8. In simple terms, this is a boss rush mode. You need to defeat 10 random bosses in sequence. This is definitely a difficult challenge, and wish you good luck.

Drop Rates During Diablo 4 campfire chat, the developers were apparently a bit surprised by the record-breaking pace at which players reached max level in Season 7, so in Season 8, the team’s goal is to slow down the pace of players’ play throughs and then reduce the drop rate of legendary items to make the power increase more enjoyable for players. It’s hard to see that exciting orange glow from a pile of Diablo 4 Gold anymore. According to design director Colin Finer, the purpose of these changes is to make players “more rewarding and satisfying as you go through these levels.“ It seems that the developers are working hard to make Diablo 4 more playable, whether it is introducing new bosses or increasing the difficulty, and it is for this purpose. But for players, the changes in Season 8 are not all pleasing. Some players are dissatisfied with the adjustment of loot drop rate. Players reported that the drop rate of Ancestral legendary items in this game is already very low, and this probability will be reduced in Season 8, which makes Ancestral legendary items even rarer. And the affixes of Ancestral legendary items are always unsatisfactory. Players seem to never get the corresponding level of equipment as they grow up. They are tired of this change that makes things worse. The above are the changes that Diablo 4 will bring in Season 8. Which changes do you think are good and which changes will ruin the game? Are you looking forward to Season 8?

As we all know, Grim Favors, as an important resource in Diablo 4 Season 7, is essential for advancing the overall game progress and completing character build. So, do you want to know how to farm them effectively and how to choose the best farming location? Don’t miss this guide! Why Farm Headhunts? First of all, when it comes to farming Grim Favors, the best way must be to clear Headhunt area. Why? In fact, the answer is very simple. Headhunt area is a new area in Season 7, where you will find everything you need to achieve the goals of the new season endgame, including key materials to upgrade your Witch Powers to the highest level. More importantly, get the materials needed to make Occult Gems and farm Grim Favors, which will improve your reputation in The Coven. The Best Strategy To Run Headhunt Efficiently Next, we will show you a method that will allow you to get 1000 to 1200 Grim Favors per hour. What you do is jump from one Headhunt area to another to collect as many materials as possible. This method is much better than staying in one Headhunt area until it expires. To try this strategy, you first open the map, search for a Headhunt area with a low remaining time but no less than 10 minutes, so that you have enough time to farm it as well as possible and head there. Once you arrive, you need to perform Whispers. Once you have collected them, you ignore everything else and jump directly to another area. Following this method, you can probably farm 4 to 6 Headhunt areas per hour. Grim Favors Multiplier In addition to this, one thing we need to know is the number of Grim Favors you can get per Torment level. To explain this as simply as possible, you only need to understand a multiplier here. Let’s say you killed a Blood Maiden, at Torment 1, a Blood Maiden is worth 5 Grim Favors, but multiplied by 10, so killing a Blood Maiden gives you 50 Grim Favors. At Torment 4, a Blood Maiden is still worth 5 Grim Favors, but the multiplier is 20, so this will give us 100 Grim Favors. To make things easier, the following list of Whispers you need to farm already shows the multiplier. So don’t panic when you see that you need to collect 1000 Grim Favors, that’s the equivalent of killing a Blood Maiden or Seething Abomination or Fugitive Heads 10 times in Torment 4. Here are the 5 Whispers you should complete in each Headhunt area: 1. Fugitive Whisper Normal: 5 Grim Favors Torment 1 (x10): 50 Grim Favors Torment 4 (x20): 100 Grim Favors Your main goal in each Headhunt area is to kill the enemies in the area, they may spawn two types of bosses, the first is Headless Husk, and the other is Fugitive Heads. As the name suggests, the difference between the two is that one will drop Heads and the other will not. Just like Blood Maiden in Helltide, you can farm these bosses endlessly, but to do so, you need to click on Exposed Roots that have a chance to spawn an Uprooted Cacoon. The good thing about grinding these bosses is that we no longer need to spend time collecting summoning materials, all you need to do is complete activities in the area and interact with Exposed Root, this alone will give you a chance to spawn an Uprooted Cacoon. In simple terms, when you are in the area, an orange Cacoon icon and notification will appear on the map, please immediately drop what you are doing and go to that place to kill the boss. 2. Harvest Whisper Normal: 3 Grim Favors Torment 1 (x10): 30 Grim Favors Torment 4 (x20): 60 Grim Favors This Whisper will require you to kill specific types of enemies, which will drop orange orbs that you need to collect. Once you have enough orbs, remember to deposit them on Altar to claim Whisper. You just need to open the map and search for Harvest icon, where you will find Altar. This can be done quickly. I strongly recommend going to Altar as soon as you complete it, because if you don’t, there is a high chance that you will forget to claim them. Trust me, this happens a lot. 3. Purge The Rot Whisper Normal: 3 Grim Favors Torment 1 (x10): 30 Grim Favors Torment 4 (x20): 60 Grim Favors This Whisper is also quick to complete, you need to kill 150 Headrotten monsters, this is easy to achieve, especially if you are around Uprooted Cacoon area and keep clicking on Exposed Root, but generally speaking they will spawn from anywhere. 4. Patrol Whisper Normal: 3 Grim Favors Torment 1 (x10): 30 Grim Favors Torment 4 (x20): 60 Grim Favors Here you need to find NPC guard, you can find it on the map by the sword and shield icon, all you need to do is follow him until the 120 monsters in the orange circle are killed. 5. Shepherd Whisper Normal: 3 Grim Favors Torment 1 (x10): 30 Grim Favors Torment 4 (x20): 60 Grim Favors Another Whisper we recommend is Shepherd. There you will find 4 lost animals and you need to escort them back to a safe zone, which happens to be a tree. Every time you interact with an animal, some monsters will appear, just kill them so the animal is free, then follow the animal back to the tree. Related: Diablo 4 Promotions & Giveaways Why Aren’t The Other Whispers Worth Completing? Sure, there are other activities that give you 60 Grim Favors, like Wisps Whisper, but they take longer. So overall, they’re not worth it. And the other Whispers only give you 20 Grim Favors, so even if they’re cool or fun, it’s totally not worth it. You can make better use of your time by heading to another area, so just ignore them. Once you have finished all Whispers mentioned above, leave this area and go to the next area with less time remaining and repeat. Other Tips Catching Caches At Ravens Besides this, the most important tip we can give you is to check your Whisper progress and pick up caches at Ravens immediately. This is crucial because you don’t want to notice that your progress is always 0 after you have been happily killing and farming. So why Raven? Because it is a brilliant move by the developers, it allows us to store Whispers instead of teleporting back to Tree of Whispers. Hopefully, they will implement this mechanism in Helltide in the future. Cleaning Up The Inventory Another thing to consider is to keep your inventory clean and not pick up equipment that has no signs of higher affixes, so as to avoid being forced to discard some valuable items when your inventory is full in the later stages. Therefore, it is recommended that you can sell some items that you don’t need at the moment before you start farming, which will not only earn you extra Diablo 4 Gold but also clear your inventory as soon as possible. Using Draught Of Whisper Finally, be sure to open a bottle of Draught of Whisper before exploring Headhunts, which increases your chances of encountering Fugitive Heads by 50% and can be used with other potions. To sum up, these are the best ways and noteworthy tips to farm Grim Favors in Headhunt area. If you follow this method, you can collect thousands of Grim Favors in a short period of time! Good luck!
