Best Classes & Builds for Hardcore in Diablo 4 Season 1 (Updated for Patch 1.1.3)

In the upcoming Diablo 4 Season 7 update on January 21, developers will bring new powers, new weapons, new pets and other Diablo 4 Items to players. It is not clear whether there will be new classes, but Witch Power will be the theme of this season. Overview Of Witch Power In the seventh season of Diablo, the creators brought 24 different witch powers to players. And these 24 witch powers are divided into four schools and two different qualities. Four schools: Eldritch witch power Growth & Decay witch power Psyche witch power Lost witch power Each school has a unique power, and the rest are Normal Powers. Players can carry up to 6 witch powers at a time, five of which are Normal Powers and one is a unique power. These witch powers will bring different effects to players, some of which enhance the player’s attributes, and some of which allow players to cause additional damage to monsters. Witch Powers are enhanced at certain levels, gaining additional effects. For example, when Poison Frog Servant reaches level 5, it will give your Poison Frog the ability to taunt. If you want to grow quickly in Season 7, You can enter the iGMeet Discord, where there are some random Diablo 4 giveaways. How To Get Witch Powers?

In various MMORPG games, players can usually get some in-game Items to use as Weapons. And different Classes usually have Weapons that are most suitable for each Class. This is no exception in the popular Diablo 4 Series of games. With the launch of Diablo 4 DLC Vessel Of Hatred Expansion, the newly added Class Spiritborn has begun to be used by many players because of its freshness and high strength. Correspondingly, there are also Weapons and Items that are very suitable for Spiritborn in the game, and Rod Of Kepeleke is one of them. Rod Of Kepeleke is actually a Unique Quarterstaff in the game, and it is a Unique Weapon exclusively used by Spiritborn Class. Many Spiritborn players who have used it said that it can provide you with efficient Combat efficiency in Battle to Defeat Enemies and obtain more Dropped Diablo 4 Gold.Based on the powerful power of Rod Of Kepeleke and its high compatibility with Spiritborn Class, we will introduce you to its basic information and how to obtain it in the game. Overview Of Rod Of Kepeleke Basic Information As Unique Quarterstaff used exclusively by Spiritborn Class in Diablo 4 DLC Vessel Of Hatred, Rod Of Kepeleke will provide Unique Combat Effects to the players who use it in Battle. On the one hand, it can significantly enhance the player’s Core Skills, and on the other hand, it can also convert these Core Skills into Basic Skills, making them freely cast and available at any time. However, please note that this powerful Weapon Effect has side Effects. Because Damage caused by core Skills will be reduced by up to 30% based on Vigor consumed. But despite this, the impact of this side Effect is not so fatal in front of the overall gain brought by Rod Of Kepeleke. In fact, the reason Rod Of Kepeleke has such powerful power as a Unique Weapon is that it can work by coordinating with Vigor. When you cast a Skill at maximum Vigo, Core Skills consume all Vigor, regenerate to full Damage and become Critical Strikes. And for each point of Vigor consumed, Damage caused by Critical Strikes will increase by 1% to 3%, further increasing Damage Effect in Combat. Besides this powerful Unique Damage Effect, Rod Of Kepeleke also comes with a set of Fixed Affixes, including: a 45% Block Chance, +12 to 24 Maximum Resource, +80 to 100% Critical Strike Damage, +26 to 35% Chance for Core Skills to Hit Twice, and +5 to Velocity. Ultimately, these Affixes and exclusive Unique Damage Effects make Rod Of Kepeleke a powerful Unique Weapon. If you are a Spiritborn Class player who wants to use a Build focused on maximizing Damage and Resource management, then Rod Of Kepeleke will definitely be the most powerful Weapon for you. Not only that, if players who use other Classes like this Unique Weapon, they can also try to own it. Although it cannot provide Combat assistance to these players, they can still own Rod Of Kepeleke as a game collection or Trading Item. This will be very interesting. In a holistic sense, Rod Of Kepeleke is not only a new Weapon in DLC Vessel Of Hatred but also one of the best Weapons used by Spiritborn, and a symbol of their control over Natural Forces. If you want to get it, the best way is to prepare for a long time, because there is a lot of preparation required. In addition, since the chance of getting it is random, it may take players many Battles and attempts to get it. How To Get Rod Of Kepeleke? There is no unique way to get Rod Of Kepeleke in the game, so players can choose the most suitable method according to their interests and the strength and characteristics of the game Characters. Specifically, there are 5 ways to get Rod Of Kepeleke. 1. Echo Of Andariel Boss In Vessel Of Hatred, you can get Rod Of Kepeleke by Fighting some powerful Bosses with Torment Difficulty, one of which is Echo Of Andariel Boss. To Fight this Battle, first you need to go to Man’s Hall in Kehjistan, collect two Sandscorched Shackles and two Pincushioned Dolls, place them on Summoning Altar of this Location, and then Defeat Echo Of Andariel to get Rod Of Kepeleke. It is worth noting that Sandscorched Shackles and Pincushioned Dolls can be found in Lord Zir and Beast in Ice Respectively. Keep this in mind to avoid wasting extra time and Diablo 4 Gold to get them. 2. Echo Of Duriel Boss Besides Echo Of Andariel Boss, Defeating Echo of Duriel, which is also Torment Difficulty, can also get Rod Of Kepeleke. This Boss is located in Gaping Crevasse in Gea Kul. Players need to first find Mucus-Slick Egg and a Shard of Agony in Echo Of Varshan and Grigoire Galvanic Saint respectively, and place them on Summoning Altar. After that, players can get Rod Of Kepeleke by Defeating Echo Of Duriel. However, please note that whether Defeating Echo Of Duriel or Echo Of Andariel, Drop of Rod Of Kepeleke is random, and players may need to Fight multiple times to get the relevant Drop chance. 3. World Events When players participate in World Events such as Gathering Legions and World Bosses in the game, if they win Battle, they will have a chance to give high-tier Loot. And maybe Rod Of Kepeleke will appear in these Loot. Or if you can enter Nightmare Dungeons, there is also a chance to get some Item Drops here. This can also increase your chances of getting Rod Of Kepeleke. 4. Helltide Events Participating in Helltide Events gives players a chance to earn Cinders, which can be used to open Chests, potentially containing Rod Of Kepeleke. However, getting Rod is purely based on luck. 5. Purveyor Of Curiosity Players can also use Purveyor Of Curiosity in the game to get Rod Of Kepeleke. Kepeleke is actually a Merchant who accepts Murmuring Obols and Purveyors have a chance to provide players with Unique Items, including Rod Of Kepeleke. However, this chance usually depends on Rarity and Availability of Item. The rarer the Item, the lower the chance of getting it. And in Diablo 4 Series of games, the probability of spawning Rare Items in Purveyor is relatively low, so you may need a lot of Murmuring Obols to get Items you want.

Each class is equipped with a unique skill tree, allowing you to freely pick and match skills to suit your play style. This guide takes a thorough analysis into Necromancer, Rogue, Sorcerer, Barbarian, and Druid to help you choose the best class based on your play style. Necromancer–Best Class Overall The primary resource of a Necromancer is Essence, a resource that can be slowly restored over time or quickly accumulated using basic skills, and is used to cast powerful spells. The secondary resource of a Necromancer is Corpses, the remains of fallen enemies on the field. These corpses can be used in a variety of ways in the hands of a Necromancer, from manipulating them into skeleton minions to setting deadly traps for enemies using skills such as Corpse Explosion. Necromancers can equip a wide variety of weapons, including swords, daggers, and wands, and they also have a unique scythe that is only available to this class. Necromancer has been carefully built for Diablo 4, focusing on devastating enemy groups with a devastating Bone Spear build. After creating numerous corpses with Bone Spear, they can temporarily revive the killed enemies with Corpse Explosion, causing AoE damage to all nearby enemies. Barbarian–Best DPS Class Barbarian is known for its extremely high health and strength. His attacks in combat will accumulate Fury, which can be used to unleash a series of powerful Fury skills. The newly introduced Arsenal System brings more variety to Barbarian, with four weapon slots, allowing players to mix and match one-handed and two-handed weapons, opening up the possibility of carrying four legendary weapons at the same time. Each Fury skill automatically matches and uses the corresponding weapon to ensure smooth combat. Barbarian build is centered on the use of Hammer of the Ancients, making it easy to crush nearby enemies and collect Diablo 4 Gold drops. This build excels in solo or team fights, with excellent survivability thanks to Iron Skin and Tactical Iron Skin, which effectively reduce damage taken and provides self-healing capabilities during combat. Sorcerer–Best Ranged Class With its mastery of lightning, fire, and frost, Sorcerer is a key player on any team aiming to defeat the toughest enemies. However, Sorcerer has lower health than Barbarian and Druid. Sorcerer passively regenerates mana, and one of her Minor Destruction skills is dedicated to generating mana. Once Sorcerer reaches max level, she can unleash powerful ultimate skills that deal huge amounts of damage, potentially completely changing the tide of battle. While Sorcerer is not dominant in solo play, she can definitely play a devastating role in team play. Sorcerer build focuses on using lightning spells to tear through enemies from a distance. The advantage of this build is that you can deal massive damage to enemies without having to get close to them. Although you may eventually encounter enemies that are resistant to lightning attacks, you can still maintain efficient output by strengthening Arc Lash and a deadly ultimate attack. Rogue–Best Class For Crowd Control Rogues can attack from a distance and engage in melee combat, and can choose to equip the corresponding skills as needed. Melee-style Rogues can wield swords and daggers, while those who prefer ranged combat can equip bows and crossbows to fire arrows and bolts at enemies. Rogues have a number of special class tasks, which are scattered throughout Sanctuary. Rogues have three class specializations: Combo Points, Shadow Realm, and Exploit Weakness. Among them, Shadow Realm allows melee-style Rogues to lure enemies into a dark void, and enemies outside the void will temporarily disappear, so that Rogues can prioritize eliminating enemies in the space in a safe environment. Exploit Weakness specialization displays icons on enemies, providing opportunities for quick defeat. Combo Points specialization allows Rogue to accumulate points to unleash more powerful skills. Rogue can also combine three imbue effects with any attack or skill to enhance its imbue effects, such as a ranged Rogue can combine Rain of Arrows with Frost Imbue effect to freeze the battlefield. Rogue build is a versatile character that can attack from both range and close range. Penetrating Shot build focuses on weakening enemy minions with Smoke Grenade and Caltrops and then uses Puncture skill to accumulate combo points. Once enough combo points are accumulated, Penetrating Shot can be used to perform heavy attacks, while Dash and Concealment can be used to gain movement-based damage bonuses. Druid–Best Class For Buffs Druid can transform into a ferocious werebear or a terrifying werewolf to attack. No matter which form Druid is in, he is always accompanied by two wolf companions. Druid can also manipulate elements in human form. Druid can focus entirely on shapeshifting mechanic. Compared to Barbarian and Sorcerer, Druid is better at fighting powerful single targets and multiple enemies at the same time than Sorcerer and Druid. Druid builds are mainly centered on Landslide skill, which summons earth pillars to crush enemies. You can become faster and stronger through Druid’s Werebear. If the enemy can still stand after being hit by Trample and Landslide, activate Hurricane to trap them all and repeat the previous skill cycle. Each class has its own unique features, and the best choice is the one that allows you to enjoy the game and play your play style. In addition, if you need any additional items during the build process, you can follow Giveaway channel in iGMeet discord, which will post product giveaway information from time to time, and remember to be active in discord group.
