Diablo 4 Druid Builds Guide for Launch

In Diablo 4 series of games, Paragon Board is a very important game mechanism. Because, after unlocking it, players can use the corresponding points to further unlock some board nodes, thereby effectively improving the various attributes of their game characters. From the first season to the latest season Season of Hatred Rising, in order to make Paragon Board play a more comprehensive role in the game to help players fight, the game makers are constantly updating and optimizing it. But in Season 6, we found that not every update of Paragon Board brings benefits. After actually experiencing the new Paragon Board mechanism in the new season, many players said that it has become more complicated to manage than in the past, which has hindered players to varying degrees whether they want to plan the use of their Diablo 4 Gold or want to further improve the proficiency of skill operations. Therefore, we will give some improvement suggestions based on some shortcomings reflected by Paragon Board after the current update. The Current Status Of Paragon Board In Season 6 When players upgrade their game characters to level 50 in Season of Hatred Rising, Paragon Board will be unlocked, and players will then receive some corresponding Paragon Points. These points can be used to fill in nodes on the board, thereby unlocking more other nodes related to abilities, attributes, and character characteristics in order to enhance the strength of the character. Currently, there are several types of nodes in the game: Normal Paragon Nodes, Magical Paragon Nodes, Rare Paragon Nodes, or Legendary Paragon Nodes. However, through in-game testing, you will find that most nodes are just “fillers”, and their consumption of points is only to reach the useful nodes you want in the end. Obviously, this not only makes the node upgrade process lengthy but also makes players feel that a considerable part of the points are wasted. After all, their consumption can only be exchanged for a few attribute upgrades. And in terms of the rewards provided by Paragon Board, there are even considerable differences between different Classes. Some Classes have a lot of Rare Paragon Nodes, or Legendary Paragon Nodes to unlock, while others focus on trying to get Glyphs as hard as possible. Of course, Glyphs also provide rewards or special buffs, but Glyphs are difficult to obtain, and it is also a hassle to determine which Glyphs are more worthy to obtain. Because they are arranged by level and alphabetically in the game, if you want to know what each Glyph helps, you have to check them one by one by hovering the mouse over each Glyph. The entire process of collecting and using nodes in Season 6 is currently frustrating, complicated, and a waste of time. Because it hardly provides any substantial progress for players. Improvement Suggestions Based on the shortcomings reflected in the current situation, our main improvement suggestions for Paragon Board are to remove most of the points required for players to unlock nodes, making the path to earning nodes clearer and simpler. This will not only make it easier to earn nodes but also allow players to get more rewards faster. Because in this way, players can achieve the same results as before with fewer nodes, and the relevant views of Paragon Board may also look more intuitive, logical, and simpler. It helps to solve the excessive Paragon Board workload that the original game brought to players. The second suggestion is to redesign Glyphs, because the current related progress system can be said to be meaningless and can hardly provide effective help to players. The improvement idea we provide is to set Glyphs as the center of all unlockable nodes, and make Glyphs the final key content by gradually unlocking other nodes of different levels, making the entire system more logical. In addition, the matching and connection between Classes and Paragon Board may also need to be fully redesigned. For example, Legendary Paragon Nodes should be applicable to each Class, and the benefits of using nodes should not be set too different from each other, to avoid an imbalance in the game experience between players of different Classes and affect the evaluation of the game. Although Paragon Board in the sixth season Season of Hatred Rising is currently insufficient, it is not unchangeable. If the game makers listen to the feedback from players in time and make some effective improvements and optimizations for this mechanism, I believe Paragon Board can provide more help to players. The above is the reflection of some shortcomings of the current Paragon Board mechanism and some improvement suggestions we have envisioned.

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!

Blood Lance build is a powerful non-minion-dependent build in Diablo 4 Season 5 that allows the class to deal massive damage to enemies from a distance, and can also amplify its effects with other skills and equipment. This build is considered A-tier in the current endgame meta. It is a great option for players who prefer Priests of Rathma, especially those who prefer to use a non-summoning, efficient Necromancer build. After reading this guide, you will know how to optimize Blood Lance Necromancer build for the leveling and endgame phases. Best Blood Lance Leveling Build Players need to select skills in a specific order to ensure the best Blood Lance build. To enable additional skill points, you can first use Diablo 4 Gold to unlock Renown points and focus on adding solo Necro passives, which will provide significant boosts to the character in the late game. Book Of The Dead Setup When making a Blood Lance build, the following is the best setup: Skeletal Warriors–Sacrifice Skeletal Mages–Sacrifice Golems–Sacrifice In this build, minions are not relied upon to participate in the fight, but they are sacrificed to enhance the Necromancer’s abilities. Choosing to use these minions makes the build less effective than if they were sacrificed alone. Leveling Rotation When approaching a group of enemies, you should first use Decreptify to slow them down and make them vulnerable. Then cast Corpse Tendrils to stun them and increase the chance of additional corpses. Next, use Blood Mist to deal lethal damage to the enemies from a distance. Once your minions engage the enemies, use Bone Storm for large-area damage. Start firing Blood Lance continuously for the major attack. After Corpse Tendrils wear off, attack the enemies with Corpse Tendrils again to maximize corpse spawns, stun the remaining enemies, and even increase their poison levels. As bodies pile up, cast Corpse Explosion to clean up the surviving enemies. Legendary Aspects As you progress through level 50 or play through the story, you can find some useful Legendary Aspects. For example, you can find Sacrificial, which boosts Sacrifice Minion buffs, in Ruins of Eridu in Hawezar. Grasping Veins, which increase critical strike chance for Corpse Tendrils, can be found in Corrupted Grotto in Kehjistan. To boost Blood Lance damage, you can find Blood Seeker’s in Mercy’s Reach in Fractured Peaks. To make it easier to complete these activities, you can follow Giveaway channel in iGMeet discord, which will release product giveaway information from time to time. Remember to be active in the discord group. Best Blood Lance Endgame Build After reaching level 50 and unlocking Paragon Board, you can re-specify an endgame version of your Blood Lance Necro build. In the endgame build, you will keep the exact same configuration as before during the upgrade process. Unless you want to adjust or remove certain minions, you don’t need to make any changes. Endgame Book Of The Dead Setup Same as leveling build, it is best to sacrifice your minions. Skeletal Warriors–Sacrifice Skeletal Mages–Sacrifice Golems–Sacrifice Just remember that an individual Necromancer will become less powerful. Endgame Rotation Skill rotation in the endgame phase is the same as used during levelling. When approaching enemies, the same skill order should be followed. For specific instructions on how to use skills when approaching enemies in combat, please refer to the previous detailed instructions. Decreptify Corpse Tendrils Blood Mist Bone Storm Blood Lance–Main Skill Corpse Explosion Paragon Board You will start to gain Paragon points after reaching level 50, and will no longer gain points for previous skills. Paragon system has a unique mechanic, and players need to choose a progression path from a variety of boards with different themes and benefits. While each path is different, you can effectively strengthen your character by planning your route on Paragon Board and choosing Glyphs that are most critical to your build. Once you reach Paragon level 15, make sure to pick up these particular Glyphs in the recommended order below to ensure that you are on the best path for your Blood Lance build. As you accumulate more Paragon points, you will unlock more options on Paragon Board. Level 15 ‍Corporeal ‍Exploit ‍Dominate ‍Essence ‍Sacrificial ‍Amplify Level 21 ‍Essence ‍Dominate ‍Exploit ‍Corporeal ‍Amplify ‍Sacrificial Blood Lance Endgame Item Build Once you have collected the following equipment, it is up to you to choose which ones to use, and you can even choose to mix and match. This will greatly enhance your Blood Lance Necromancer build in Diablo 4. Each piece of gear is designed to maximize the potential of your Blood Lance build, giving you a decisive advantage and ensuring you can sustain the fight against the game’s toughest challenges. Shadow Sin Runic Mail of Disobedience Shadow Guardian Heroic Rival Corpse Revenge Imp End Wraith Voup Blood Seeker’s Choker Ring of Potent Blood Sacrificial Ring By continuously optimizing your build and gear selection, you will return to the battlefield with even more devastating force, conquering all enemies who dare to challenge you.
