Diablo 4 DLC: What Are The Characteristics Of The Three New Monster Families? - Hollows, Dregs & Lacuni

In Diablo 4 Season 7, Quake Barbarian Build was one of the best Barbarian builds, and Barbarian was not nerfed much in Season 8, so this build will still be playable in Season 8. In Season 8, since Witch Powers will be removed and Boss Powers will become the new Season Powers, Boss Powers can bring additional power to each class. FireQuake Barbarian Endgame Build is based on Boss Powers and makes some improvements to Quake Barbarian Build. Pros And Cons Pros: Can quickly clear monsters Can cause high damage in a large area Fun to play Cons Need to wait for cooldown Skill Selection Primary: Lunging Striker (Rank 1): Dash forward and attack the enemy for 33% damage. Ground Stomp (Rank 5): Slam the ground for 112% damage and stun nearby enemies for 3 seconds. Secondary Rallying Cry (Rank 1): Send out a rally call. Within 6 seconds, your movement speed increases by 30%, resource generation increases by 40%, and allies are also affected within 3 seconds. War Cry (Rank 5): Damage increases by 21% within 6 seconds after releasing the skill, and allies are also affected within 3 seconds. Challenging Shout (Rank 1): Gain 40% damage reduction and taunt nearby enemies. Call of the Ancients (Rank 5): Summons three Ancients to aid you in combat. While active, you gain 40% movement speed and 20% ranged damage reduction. Challenging Shout and Rallying Cry provide Barbarians with great survivability, while War Cry increases damage. After casting Challenging Shout, use Ground Stomp to easily defeat a large group of enemies. You can also replace Lunging Striker with Leap, which is also very fun, but it will take you some Diablo 4 Gold to change skills. The best choice for Weapon Techniques for this build is Two-Handed Axe Specialization, which applies vulnerability to enemies and helps increase damage. Boss Powers Andariel’s Flaming Skull (Legendary Boss Power) After standing for 1 second, Barbarian summons a skeleton that lasts for 4 seconds. It will spin around you and spit fire, burning enemies for massive fire damage over 3 seconds. The burning effect increases the damage of damage over time effects against enemies. For 5 seconds after activating Boss Power, all other attacks of Barbarian will burn enemies, dealing massively more damage over 3 seconds. Andariel’s Flaming Skull is a Boss Power that is used as Main Boss Power. It is the main source of fire damage in FireQuake Barbarian Build. It is a Legendary Boss Power that requires you to kill Andariel in season 8 on Torment to unlock it, and it takes a lot of time to upgrade this power to the highest level. This is why this build is an end-game build. But as a Legendary Boss Power, the increase it brings is also amazing. The continuous damage caused by burning, combined with the fast attack speed and multiple earthquakes and shouts, stacks burning on the enemy. Most enemies cannot withstand the damage of Barbarian’s attack, and they will be torn apart like paper. Gears Helm: Ugly Bastard Helm Chest Armor: Aspect of Might Gloves: Fists of Fate Pants: Aspect of Bul-Kathos Boots: Ghostwalker Aspect Slashing Weapon: Vehement Brawler’s Aspect Bludgeoning Weapon: Aspect of Earthquakes Dual-Wield Weapon 1: Aspect of Creeping Death Dual-Wield Weapon 2: Aspect of Elements Amulet: Rapid Aspect Ring 1: Bold Chieftain’s Aspect Ring 2: Aspect of Inner Calm If you need to maximize the damage output of Barbarian, then this build has high equipment requirements. The best helm is Ugly Bastard Helm for this build, because this helmet can reduce the cooldown of key skills and can also cause fire damage. And Fists of Fate can increase your critical hit chance and attack speed, etc. This unique equipment is very versatile and can bring moral improvements to each class. Other Aspects are legendary Aspects that you need to obtain by disassembling Legendary Items and clearing dungeons. It may take some time to find all the required legendary aspects, but Barbarian is very fast in clearing dungeons and farming Gold, so don’t worry. In addition, if you get The Grandfather, then this Ancestral Mythic Unique Two-Handed Sword is also suitable for this build, you can use it. Rune Cir (Rune of Ritual) + Lum (Rune of Ritual) Moni (Rune of Ritual) + Tec (Rune of Invocation) Rune is equipped with your weapon, and Rune can only exert their power after combining. These Runes can mainly help you save resources and speed up the release of skills. Gems Weapon: Amethyst. Increases continuous damage by 48% Armor: Ruby. Increases 60 Strength Attribute Amulet: Diamond. Increases elemental resistance by 12% Ring 1: Diamond. Increases elemental resistance by 12% Ring 2: Diamond. Increases elemental resistance by 12% Mercenaries (Primary) Subo: Seeker, Wire Trip, Cover Fire (Reinforcement) Raheir: Bastion, Lunging Striker You can use gold to hire mercenaries. They can resist monster attacks on you and control them at the same time. Don’t ignore their role. The above is the general content of FireQuake Endgame Barbarian Build. You can also adjust the skills yourself. LeapQuake Barbarian Build is also a very entertaining way to play, but it is not very suitable for Andariel’s Flaming Skull. But if you want to play easily in season 8? Then try this build.

It’s been more than a year since the initial release of Diablo 4, but you’ll find that the series still occupies a relatively top position in the ARPG market, with many enthusiastic fans. On this basis, with the end of the sixth season, the seventh season will officially arrive in late January this year. As the latest series of Diablo, Diablo 4 adopts a similar approach to the basic series in setting up the season mechanism, always focusing on resources, bosses and gear, and sometimes adding new season-limited events in the new season, so that you can experience the fun of farming new limited event items while accumulating Diablo 4 Gold. Among all Diablo 4 content that may be updated with the season, unique items are a relatively important one. They are always presented to you as clothing, armor, or weapons, and will provide you with extraordinary combat benefits after you equip them. In the upcoming Season 7, besides those inherent unique items, some new ones are expected to be added. Based on this, we will introduce these new unique items to you and ways to obtain them. Overview Of Diablo 4 Season 7 According to the released news, this season should be named Season of Witchcraft and will be officially launched at 10 am Pacific Standard Time on January 21, 2025 after the end of Season 6. In addition, like all previous Diablo 4 seasons, Season 7 should last for about three months, during which you need to create a new character on the corresponding server to access the limited-time content of Season 7. As its name suggests, the biggest feature of this season is 24 witchcraft powers divided into variant types, which you can use to deal with bosses in Season 7. However, it should be noted that although the witchcraft power of Season 7 cannot be transferred to other servers, you can always unlock the available cosmetics, pets or other types of rewards on your account. Another new change in Season 7 that is worth paying attention to is the addition of Armory. This mechanism will allow you to save your character’s builds, allowing you to see which of them is the most powerful or interesting, and switch between different builds to try without changing everything. In addition to the above, the new content of Season 7 also includes other quality of life updates, changes to larger affixes and class tasks, and new unique items that we will highlight for you next. What New Unique Items Will Season 7 Have? According to the information previously revealed by the game developers in the campfire chat, Season 7 will ensure that each Diablo 4 class will get at least one new unique item, and some professions will even get two. The specific types of these new unique items may include armor, amulets, staves and catalysts, including the following: Druid: Malefic Crescent Rogue: Assassin’s Stride Spiritborn: Sustained War-Crozier Barbarian: Mantle of the Mountain’s Fury Sorcerer: Strike of Stormhorn and Okun’s Catalyst Necromancer: Indira’s Memory and Kessime’s Legacy As a classic melee class, Barbarian will get Mantle of Mountain’s Fury, a new ancestral unique chest armor that can cause 50% Hammer of the Ancients after Barbarian launches an earthquake. The new unique ancestral amulet for Druid can increase all elemental resistance by 25%, effectively improving your defense-if you play Druid. In addition, Necromancer’s two new unique items need to be used with Blood Wave, Rogue’s new item is a pair of boots that can increase its movement skill by 100% in 2 seconds, and Sorcerer has obtained 2 items that can enhance its Ball of Lightning. The newly introduced class Spiritborn in DLC will get a unique long staff that increases the blocking chance by 40%. How To Get New Unique Items? Since Season 7 has not yet been officially launched, the most accurate method of obtaining new unique items is not very clear, but you can use the unique item acquisition method of the old season as a reference to prepare in advance. After all, except for possible new season-limited events or dungeons, other methods of obtaining unique items are always unchanged in some seasons. Purveyor Of Curiosities Before Season 6, Purveyor of Curiosities usually only gave you magic and rare gear that was completely useless in the endgame, but now they can not only drop legendary items faster but also have a chance to drop unique items for you. While this method is great, it requires that you always have enough Obol, so it is recommended that you focus on grinding Diablo 4 Artificer’s Pit, where you can even upgrade glyphs and obtain legendary items. Participate In Special Seasonal Events Almost every Diablo 4 season will launch a new limited event, and participating in these events will give you a chance to get some rewards after the end, which may include new unique items. Farm Nightmare Dungeons Nightmare dungeons mechanism should still exist in Season 7, so it is recommended that you farm high-level Nightmare Dungeons above level 40 to obtain legendary items, because these dungeons will have many enemies to fight, and the probability of dropping items will naturally be higher. Defeat New Bosses Season 7 is expected to add some new special bosses. Since unique items are relatively precious Diablo 4 items, some of them will most likely only be available to you through boss loot. In addition, if you want to accumulate as much gold as possible before Season 7 officially starts, so that you can gain a small advantage at the beginning of the season and get the above new unique items faster, then maybe you can try to participate in the relevant giveaway events held from time to time in iGMeet Discord. Good luck!

Diablo 4 recently launched a limited-time free trial, allowing players to try out Spiritborn class, which is usually only available to players who have obtained Vessel of Hatred DLC. And the release of this free trial coincides with the middle of Diablo 4 Season 6, giving players a great limited-time offer. Path of Exile 2 officially launched in early access this month, and although its brand awareness has not yet reached the heights of Diablo series, Path of Exile has proven itself to have a place in the competition as a long-running game, especially in terms of deep gameplay and constantly updated content. The new game will undoubtedly attract numerous action role-playing game players, and the release of Path of Exile 2 also means that it will become a competitor that Diablo 4 not not ignore can. Diablo 4 is clearly responding to this competitive dynamic by launching a free trial of Spiritborn class. While this release may seem like a coincidence, it is well timed. The launch of Spiritborn class free trial could greatly enhance Diablo 4’s appeal in the short term and help it maintain its edge over POE 2 and other competitors. Competing With Path Of Exile 2 Spiritborn trial will remain open until January 3, providing players with a valuable opportunity to experience this class. Although the game has advantages in many aspects, especially in terms of Diablo 4 Gold drops, loot mechanics and broad player base acceptance, it also faces great competition, especially from POE 2. As a powerful rival to Diablo 4, POE 2 not only borrows the essence of Diablo series in terms of game mechanics, but also improves multiple systems, especially in terms of skill trees and class selection to provide deeper strategies and choices. Although Diablo 4 performs better in loot mechanics and the ease of use that is more suitable for a diverse player group, POE 2 can attract more core players who are truly passionate about action role-playing games with its hardcore experience. The wide reach of Diablo 4 is undoubtedly a big factor in its success, allowing it to quickly attract a wide range of players. However, it is the more complex systems and gameplay of Path of Exile 2 that allows it to more grasp the loyal players who are addicted to detailed and deep games for a long time. For many hardcore fans, the immersive experience and challenge provided by POE 2 are the main reasons for their long-term stay in this game. Free Trial Is A Powerful Move While Diablo 4’s free Spiritborn trial may not directly attract numerous POE 2 players to switch to this game, it may at least prompt some old players who are curious about Spiritborn class and Vessel of Hatred DLC to return. Many players may be on the fence about paying for DLC, and trying this new class for free provides them with a risk-free opportunity to see if this new content is worth investing in. Although Path of Exile 2 provides an experience that is more suitable for hardcore players, Diablo 4 successfully injects some freshness into the series by introducing unique classes like Spiritborn. This class is not only attractive in terms of background story but also adds exciting additional elements to the gameplay mechanics. By offering a free trial opportunity, players can experience the new experience brought by this class without having to immediately obtain DLC, which is an opportunity that many players cannot miss. Spiritborn Overview Spiritborn class is a brand new class in Diablo series. Although there are already several unique classes in the series, Spiritborn has been considered one of the most powerful classes because of its extreme versatility and excellent combat style. Its uniqueness lies in the ability to use four Spirit animals: Jaguar, Eagle, Gorilla, and Centipede. Each Spirit animal represents a skill, and the skills in these classes of Spirit usually work well together, which allows players to be more concise and efficient when building characters. After choosing the Spirit to use, you usually only need to build your own gameplay around the skills of that Spirit, simplifying the complexity of skill selection. However, some Spirit skills are powerful in different types of builds, so when building a character, using a skill combination of two or three Spirits is often a better choice. This not only makes full use of the advantages of various Spirits but also makes the character’s combat style more flexible. Whether it is a melee attack or ranged control, it can provide extremely strong adaptability. The key attribute of Spiritborn is Dexterity, so it is very good in movement and attack speed, especially suitable for using weapons such as Polearms, Glaives, and Quarterstaves. Spirit Hall When the player reaches level 15 in Diablo 4 and completes Spiritborn class quest, you will enter Spirit Hall and choose a primary Spirit passive here. This choice will directly affect the player’s play style. The primary Spirit passive not only gives the player a new skill combination but also converts all skills of the selected Spirit type to that Spirit. For example, after selecting Eagle as the primary Spirit passive, all skills will become Eagle skills, bringing specific combat advantages related to this Spirit. At level 30, players can further choose a secondary passive, which makes the build more flexible and can adjust the combination and effects of skills according to their own gameplay needs. Overall, Diablo 4 has successfully injected fresh vitality into the game by launching a free trial version of Spiritborn class. Whether you are interested in the background story of Spiritborn or curious about the innovation of its combat mechanism, this limited-time free trial has undoubtedly brought more attention and participation to Diablo 4. Finally, pay attention to the game giveaway information in iGMeet Discord to get some good equipment to help you when you are doing a Spiritborn build.

Diablo 4 DLC Vessel of Hatred has been launched for a while now, and most players must have explored most of the mechanisms and content in the expansion. On this basis, you will definitely not be unfamiliar with the mercenary mechanism. As an important mechanism in Diablo 4 DLC, mercenaries can serve as effective auxiliary NPCs to help players fight. They have their own unique skills and specialties, which can help players deal with different enemies and combat scenarios. Although unlocking them requires Diablo 4 Gold and some slightly complicated steps, their value is worth it. There are 4 mercenaries in Vessel of Hatred, namely Raheir, Aldkin, Varyana and Subo. Players can choose and unlock up to 2 of them as their helpers in the game. Although the system will not limit your choice, you must want to choose as powerful or suitable mercenaries as possible. Based on this, we have ranked these four mercenaries from low to high according to their specific performance in Vessel of Hatred for players’ reference and selection. 4. Aldkin Before the mercenary mechanism was officially launched, Aldkin was anticipated because of his interesting design. Unfortunately, his performance in actual combat was not outstanding. His main skill, Blasphemous Fate, allows him to transform into a demon for 22 seconds and gives him new abilities. However, during his transformation, not only nearby enemies but also your game character will become vulnerable, and then consume your resources when you cause damage to the enemy. And his transformation is random. So if these problems cannot be optimized, then using Aldkin will be a bit of a loss. Even if the build or skills you use in battle do not depend on the amount of resources, Aldkin is still unsatisfactory as a companion. Although his Flame Surge skill tree has a chance to cause high damage to the enemy, when facing the higher level Torment difficulty, the damage he outputs is even far less than your own output. Aldkin does get some pleasant benefits in Haunt skill tree, such as daze, slow or stun, which debuff enemies, but other mercenaries can do similar things. Aldkin may be effective in the early game, but his equipment lacks practicality and his overall potential is low, which makes him the lowest ranking of the four mercenaries. 3. Varyana Varyana’s core skill Massacre allows both your game character and Varyana to stack massacres when killing enemies, and gain additional movement speed bonuses when stacking to a certain level. This effect can be stacked up to 100 times, at which point the movement speed can even increase by 20%. If you are using a Build or Class with poor mobility and lack of speed, the benefits provided by Varyana’s skills are undoubtedly helpful. But if you already have strong mobility, Varyana is not the best choice among mercenaries for you. In Varyana’s Cleave skill tree, she can bleed enemies, giving you another attack speed buff, and applying vulnerability, or a debuff that reduces the amount of damage dealt to nearby enemies. In her Shockwave skill tree, Varyana knocks down enemies multiple times, giving you different combat bonuses by knocking down those she controls. But no matter which skill tree, Varyana is still more focused on enhancing the player’s mobility rather than damage output. Although both skill trees provide enough utility, if you need a mercenary with stronger damage, Varyana is relatively ordinary. However, if you are mainly lacking in movement speed or mobility skills, you can definitely add her to your team. 2. Subo From a practical point of view, Subo is very similar to Varyana, and he can also provide players with some damage, crowd control and other buffs. However, what makes Subo special is his main skill Seeker. This skill marks all nearby enemies and game materials on the minimap. Every 20 seconds Subo will mark a random enemy, and killing a marked enemy will help you restore 50% of your resources and reduce the cooldown of Seeker by 10 seconds. This skill is very useful if you want to farm Diablo 4 Gold or other game materials during Helltide. In fact, no matter which mercenary, they are not designed as helpers for damage output, so their usefulness depends on how much they help in providing support. Whether it is other buffs or the help provided by Seeker skills, Subo has become the second-ranked mercenary. Of course, Subo is not completely unable to provide damage buffs. For example, his Wire Trap skill tree provides slowing, knocking down and immobilization effects, while Molotov series has slowing, knocking down and increasing continuous damage effects. And if you hire him while playing a Poison or Bleed-based Build, the effect will be even better. 1. Raheir Raheir is currently the most powerful mercenary in Diablo 4 DLC Vessel of Hatred. He can provide players with considerable damage reduction effects, as well as healing, enhancements, and debuffs. He can be said to be a powerful mercenary because he is very comprehensive. His main skill, Valiance, has a great support effect. When you take damage that reaches 15% of your current health, Raheir’s skill will offset the damage you take and knock down nearby enemies, while you will be invincible on the battlefield for 0.5 seconds. In addition, most of Raheir’s skills in both skill trees have certain practical or support effects. For example, his shield charge line can bring you a variety of benefits such as strengthening, deceleration, additional armor, damage reduction taunts, and which ones you can get depends on the specific skills you choose. This makes Raheir’s practicality shocking, easily surpassing other mercenaries and becoming the first. The above is our ranking of the four mercenaries based on their overall performance. Of course, the ranking is just a reference. In actual combat, players need to make a comprehensive choice based on their own needs and situations to select the mercenary that suits them best. In addition, if you want to know more about Diablo 4 DLC content, you can enter iGMeet Discord to communicate with others.
