Diablo 4 2025 Roadmap Preview Seasonal Content And Date: What Content Is Looking Forward To?

When you’re building a strong build in Diablo 4, you’ll probably want Uniques, which are gear with a lot of interesting passive affixes that can provide some very helpful buffs to your build, such as improving your survivability or combat ability. Usually, some Uniques can only play a major role in specific builds, but there are also some Uniques that are suitable for multiple Class builds because of their universal power and high flexibility. Ugly Bastard Helm is one of them. While this helmet is suitable for most builds, it has a huge buff to Berserking’s damage ability, so it will be more suitable for your Barbarian, especially if you are preparing to enter the endgame stage of Diablo 4, it will make your entire build have unstoppable damage ability. Given the power of Ugly Bastard Helm, you may need to get the specific affixes and unique effects of this helmet from this guide, as well as the effective methods of farming this unique, so that you can make an optimal Barbarian build as soon as possible. About Ugly Bastard Helm First, let’s take a look at the specific effectiveness of this helmet. When you use it in a non-Barbarian build, you can only get a 10%-85% increase in fire resistance. Although this will give you a certain increase in your defensive capabilities, it is not worth spending a lot of Diablo 4 Gold and energy for a non-Barbarian build to get a piece of gear with fire resistance, so it is not recommended here. But if you put this helmet in a Barbarian build, in addition to this fire resistance, your Aggressive Resistance will also increase by 1-3 levels to enhance the defensive capabilities of Barbarian build, which is already very solid. Not only that, although Ugly Bastard Helm is a defensive gear, your Prolific Fury will also increase by 2-5 points, and your Wrath of the Berserker skill cooldown will be reduced by 8%-12.5%, which will greatly enhance your damage ability and help you clear enemies faster. With the help of this Unique, the lack of damage in Barbarian build that was previously criticized by Diablo 4 players has been improved to a certain extent in Season 7. On top of that, if you use Lucky Hit in combat, you will have a 40% chance to deal 605-6,750 points of increased fire damage, which is something that users of this class could not imagine before. Although many gear exclusive to the Barbarian build in this season will provide it with strong fire damage buffs, the buffs it provides are directly applied to the original skills such as Prolific Fury or Wrath of the Berserker, so its buff value will be directly reflected in your combat and metadata. In contrast, Crown of Lucion provides a very small bonus, as there are few builds that can fully match it to take advantage of it. In addition, Tuskhelm of Joritz the Mighty and Godslayer Crown, although they can be used by many builds, the clearing speed bonus they provide is relatively small, so they are not suitable for use in the endgame. How To Farm Ugly Bastard Helm? While Ugly Bastard Helm is a Unique that will drop from any fight you have in Torment 1, this Legendary Unique Item is most commonly dropped from some endgame boss encounters, Kurast Undercity, The Pit, Purveyor of Curiosities, and Infernal Hordes. Of these, Purveyor of Curiosities and endgame boss encounters allow you to target this Ugly Bastard Helm for farming, because you can do targeted farming by looking at the loot list of the bosses or gambling for Caps at Purveyor of Curiosities. Unfortunately, Purveyor of Curiosities has been nerfed in the current season, so the best way to target this Unique effectively is to challenge Lord Zir in different Torment Tiers, which requires you to use some Diablo 4 Items to summon it. In the current season, Lord Zir can be summoned in Ancient’s Seat dungeon at any Torment difficulty, located in Darkened Way in Fractured Peaks. You need to have collected enough Exquisite Blood by completing Legion Events or defeating World Bosses, Helltide Blood Maiden, or Treasure Goblins. Each summoning of Lord Zir costs you 12 Exquisite Blood, so you need to get as many materials as possible from the above events so that you can quickly challenge Lord Zir at higher difficulties, which will increase the drop rate of Ugly Bastard Helm. Once you have collected all Exquisite Blood, you can place it in Bloodied Altar at a different Torment difficulty to complete the summoning of this boss. During the battle, you should stand in the corner as much as possible and prioritize killing the minions summoned by the boss, to ensure your own safety in order to obtain the final loot and Diablo 4 Gold. The above is the working principle and farming method of Ugly Bastard Helm, which is very important for Barbarian builds in Diablo 4 Season 7. I hope that you can use the more effective farming methods introduced in this guide to get this extremely useful gear into your Barbarian build quickly. I wish you a happy game!

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 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 Season 5 brings a plethora of new items, game modes, and seasonal quests. As players dive into Season of Infernal Hordes, many are looking for a fun and efficient leveling build to quickly reach the late game. While each class has multiple viable leveling strategies, Necromancer’s Minion build is considered one of the best options. In Season 4, Necromancer’s Minion build received several buffs, and an interesting new Legendary Aspect was introduced to the game to enhance the build’s survivability. Here are some suggestions on how to play Minion Necromancer and successfully reach level 100 in this season, including equipment selection, Skill Tree walkthrough, and Book of the Dead advice. Best Build Necromancer’s Minions have undergone significant buffs in Season 4, and these improvements make a minion-centric build the preferred option for leveling up Necromancer. The most prominent of these improvements is the tweak to the defensive abilities of minions, which greatly increases their duration. Combined with some of the new gear and Legendary Aspects introduced in Season 5, this makes a minion-focused Necromancer build a strong, true Army of the Dead Power fantasy, and also highlights the importance of Diablo 4 Gold in acquiring this precious resource. You can also stay up to date with the game’s Giveaway channel by being active in iGMeet discord group. Skill Tree Walkthrough Skill tree for Minion Necromancer can seem a little unusual in its early stages, mainly because players tend not to pick the first node of skills. However, Diablo 4’s progression system dictates that players must invest 2 points in Basic Abilities Node before continuing, which often results in players having to randomly allocate these two points to Sever and/or Decompose. Beyond that, though, this build is fairly passive, with the main purpose of providing players with a steady supply of corpses to use with Corpse Tendrils or Raise Skeleton. Basic Abilities These skills are only used when there is room in Hotbar, and are usually replaced by other skills when the player reaches level 25-30. Depending on the player’s preference for melee or ranged combat, you can choose to allocate two skill points to Sever or Decompose. Core Skills Before Necromancer’s Minions are enhanced, this version relies on Blood Surge for its main damage output. This version only provides 2 skill points, but this limitation is not critical because the skill will not be displayed in Hotbar unless the player chooses not to use full minions in the late game. Blood Surge (2/5) Enhanced Blood Surge Paranormal Blood Surge Unliving Energy (3/3) Imperfectly Balanced (3/3) Hewed Flesh (3/3) Corpse And Macabre Skills This is when Necromancer’s Minions start to wreak havoc on the enemy. However, besides getting more passive buffs, players should also choose the best defense for Necromancer’s best - Bloodmist. Blood Mist (1/5) Enhanced Blood Mist Ghastly Blood Mist Spiked Armor (2/3) Skeleton Warrior Mastery (3/3) Grim Harvest (2/3) Fueled by Death (3/3) Curse Skills At this level, players need to allocate 2 points to Iron Maiden to gain Essence Generation and bonus damage, but it is more critical to focus on the multiple useful passive skills provided by this node. Iron Maiden (1/5) Enhanced Iron Maiden Death’s Embrace (3/3) Amplify Damage (3/3) Death’s Approach (3/3) Skeletal Mage Mastery (3/3) Corpse And Macabre Skills (2) This is when Minion Necromancer gets all the important CCs and primary Defensive Statistics. At this stage, the build should be able to handle Elite Packs and Mini-Bosses with some ease while the player can watch from the back. Corpse Tendrils (1/5) Enhanced Corpse Tendrils Plagued Corpse Tendrils Necrotic Carapace (3/3) Ultimate Skills This is where the player needs to keep the ultimate build in mind. For a pure Minion build later on, remove all points from Blood Surge and Imperfectly Balanced and invest in Army of the Dead and some extra passive skills here. However, if players want to switch to Blood Surge Build, then don’t choose Army of the Dead. Here are the two options side by side. Pure Minion Build Transition Blood Surge (2→0/3) Remove upgrades Imperfectly Balanced (3→0/3) Army of the Dead Prime Army of the Dead Supreme Army of the Dead Golem Mastery (3/3) Hellbent Commader (3/3) Inspiring Leader (3/3) Reaper's Pursuit (1/3) Terror (1/3) Gloom (1/3) Blood Surge Build Transition Blood Surge (2 → 3/5) Spiked Armor (2 → 1/3) Golem Mastery (3/3) Hellbent Commander (3/3) Inspiring Leader (3/3) Key Passives There is only one passive skill that benefits Minion Necromancer, and that is Kalan’s Edict. This passive is especially powerful for those who will continue to grow minions in World Tiers 3 and 4, as the items dropped there increase the maximum number of minions. Book Of The Dead The Book Of The Dead is fairly simple for Minion Necromancer. Just pick those options that maximize the damage of horde. In this version, the real damage output is handled by Skeletal Mages, who will gain most of the buffs from their gear. Skeletal Warriors Reapers - Option 2 There is a 15% chance to convert enemies hit into corpses. Skeletal Mages Shadow Mages - Option 1 Deal 3% additional damage for each active mage. Golem Blood Golem - Option 2 Golem heals the player by 5% for each enemy drained with its active ability Golem gains 25% damage reduction and 50% increased damage while Healthy Itemization The items in this version are designed to increase the damage output of the player’s minions while ensuring that the player himself has enough survivability. Look for a gear with the following traits: Weapon Damage Damage Increase (%) Intelligence Maximum Life Critical Strike Chance Critical Strike Damage Vulnerable Damage Movement Speed Useful Legendary Aspects While it is impossible to pick the best combination of Aspects from the litter of Aspects during upgrades, as players are limited by RNG and material resources, the following Legendary Aspects are very suitable for this build: Reanimation (Aldurwood in Scosglen) Grasping Veins (Corrupting Grotto in Kehjistan) Unyielding Commander’s (Faceless Shrine in Hawezar) Aphotic (Random Drop) Frenzied Dead (Random Drop) Occult Dominion (Random Drop) Shademist (Random Drop) Coldbringers (Random Drop) Sly Steps (Random Drop) Drop) Hardened Bones (Random Drop) The Great Feast (Random Drop) If players are lucky enough to choose between multiple aspects of gear, you should prioritize the following aspects: Hardened Bones, Occult Dominion, Frenzied Dead, Shademist, Coldbringers, and The Great Feast. Useful Unique Items The drop time of unique items may vary depending on the player’s luck. Here are some unique items worth equipping: Ring of the Sacrilegious Soul Deathspeaker’s Pendant the Mortacrux Ring of Mendeln Whether it is a novice player or an experienced player, Necromancer’s Minion build is an ideal choice for exploring the fifth season content. It not only brings an efficient upgrade experience but also allows players to enjoy the iconic dark fantasy atmosphere of the Diablo series. So, prepare your Necromancer, summon your Minions, and let’s go deep into the adventure of Diablo 4 Season 5 together!
