Diablo 4 Seasonal Content Causes Controversy: Is There Still A Need For Seasonal Updates?

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.

Diablo 4, which is loved by many players, will enter its seventh season on January 21st, with the theme of Season of Witchcraft. It has added a lot of new game content, including but not limited to the addition of Witchcraft powers, a new game reputation system, and a new zone event called Headhunts that will be introduced in this guide. In this new game event, you may experience a completely different combat experience and functions from previous seasons. Here, we will give you a detailed introduction to these Headhunts and the new game content based on the information currently released, so that you can explore it after the season is released. About Headhunts Headhunts in Season 7 are similar to Helltides in previous seasons, so like this type of event, Tree of Whispers will periodically activate it in random areas of Sanctuary. After activation, several types of specific events will be provided in these areas, and each event will provide you with Grim Favors. You can think of Headhunts as similar to Helltides, where you have to fight bosses like Restless Rot, defeat specific enemies in specific areas, and patrol areas with NPCs. In most cases, you can complete the specific events in one go if your build is strong enough. Headrotten Headrotten is also a new addition to Sanctuary, and there are several variants of enemies. After you defeat these very scary monsters, you will be rewarded with Restless Rot, which is an important crafting material for Season 7’s new gear Occult Gems, as well as a large amount of Diablo 4 Gold. Completing Whispers in Headhunt will spawn numerous Exposed Roots, and there is a certain chance to get Uprooted Cocoon, which can spawn some Headless Husks. These Husks have a chance to be possessed by Fugitive Head, so you need to defeat these very complex monsters one by one in Headrotten. It’s important to note that exploring Headrotten at higher difficulty levels and using the new Draught of Whispers will increase your chances of encountering those Husks, so if you want to farm gear and Diablo 4 Gold in it, you can do it in Torment IV. After you defeat Elites, you can pick up Fugitive Head, which you can use with Restless Rot and Gem Fragments to craft Occult Gems at Tree of Whispers. Of course, as Diablo 4 items, these new gems will also have Magic, Rare, and Legendary differences, and the characteristics and effects they can provide to build are also different. Headhunt Whispers You can find a variety of Whisper activities and objectives in Headhunt, which is the most effective way to gain The Coven Reputation in Season 7. Some tasks only take a minute or two to complete. Although some activities can be a bit tedious, it's fun to just look at them as a way to farm reputation. Here are the names of the specific Whispers activities and the tasks you need to complete in them. Dispel: Kill enemies standing in a large purple void zone. However, it should be noted that enemies will continue to spawn in this zone, and you need to defeat a steady stream of enemies until runs out. Fugitive: Defeat a Headless Husk in any area where Headhunt is activated. Patrol: Defeat enemies in the circular boundary of the patrolling guard, which can be found by the shield icon on the minimap. Purge the Rot: Kill any Headrotten enemies while Headhunt is active. Scour: Search for a specified number of herbs in a specified area. The advice here is to collect as many herbs as possible, because you will also need them in high quantities in combat. Seek: Talk to ghostly frogs and follow them for a distance. Your focus is not on these frogs, but on the Headrotten that will appear at any time and kill them. Shepherd: Enter the boundary around wild animals and accompany them to the safety zone. Wisps: This is the hardest of the entire activity. You need to destroy Exposed Root and follow Wisps that just spawned, but stay within its boundaries. During this time, you also need to kill a group of Headrotten. This process will repeat several times until Wisps’ health is fully restored. Slay: Kill designated Elite enemies in Headhunt zone. About Silent Rootholds In fact, Silent Rootholds is very similar to Hellbreaches, Nightmare Dungeons, and Infernal Hordes, which are short-lived seasonal dungeons. The information currently known is that some familiar mechanics may appear in it, such as the need to use Whispering Woods before exploring, which is very similar to Nightmare Dungeon Sigils in previous seasons. Once you enter Silent Roothold, you may encounter Rites, Rituals, and Ceremonies, which are actually very similar to Boons and Banes in Infernal Hordes in Season 5, increasing the rewards you get from exploring, such as Diablo 4 Gold and loot, but the difficulty will be greatly increased. Here are some examples for you to use as a reference. Rite of Engorged Hearts: Increases the health of Root-spawned enemies by 20%, and adds an Exposed Roots spawn in the next section. Rite of Hubris: Increases the damage of Root-spawned Bosses and Elites by 50%, and adds an Exposed Roots spawn in the next section. Ritual of Aching Thirst: The cooldown of potions you use in this mechanic is increased by 3 seconds, but Roots now grant you a Minor Reward. Ritual of Futility: Root-spawned Bosses and Elites in this mechanic have a chance to become Unstoppable, but grant you a Minor Reward. Ritual of Rust and Rain: All your resistances in this mechanic are reduced by 20%, but the rewards you receive from Roots are increased by one. Ritual of Shackles: Your dodge cooldown is increased by 3 seconds, but also grants you a Minor Reward. These are some mechanics you can currently encounter in Silent Rootholds, but it should be noted that there are many criteria for completing this dungeon, such as performing two 2 Rites, removing Exposed Roots, or defeating a boss, etc. You can choose the mechanics you want to challenge after the new season is released, although they will sometimes appear repeatedly. The above are some details about Headhunts in the upcoming Diablo 4 Season 7. In this new season, you may get a completely different gaming experience in the new game content, but before exploring, if your gold inventory is insufficient, you can participate in the frequent giveaways in iGMeet Discord, so that you can get a step ahead at the beginning of the season and get the strongest build. I wish you a happy game!

In Diablo 4, for those players who pursue extreme destructive power, Ugly Bastard Helm is undoubtedly one of the most coveted pieces of equipment when doing Berserker builds. The actual results it provides far outweigh the negative impression caused by its name. Ugly Bastard Helm not only significantly increases the wearer’s overall damage output, but is also specifically enhanced for fire attacks. In addition, Diablo 4 also introduced a helmet called Heir of Perdition, which is also one of the most popular top-level equipment in the game. This helmet can significantly increase the user’s damage to 60%, and may further increase this value depending on different situations. However, since the acquisition process is quite complex and time-consuming, it is recommended that players who focus on building extreme output characters give priority to pursuing this equipment. Next, we will introduce several methods to obtain Ugly Bastard Helm and Heir of Perdition. How To Get Ugly Bastard Helm? Players can obtain Ugly Bastard Helm through the following methods: Participating in World Events: These events usually attract numerous players because they increase the chance of obtaining high-tier loot. Slaying World Bosses: World Bosses are powerful enemies in the game. Although their challenge difficulty is higher, the probability of dropping Mythic Uniques is also higher. Therefore, challenging these bosses is a wise choice to obtain Ugly Bastard Helm. If you really cannot bear the difficulty of this challenge, you can also buy Diablo 4 Gold to speed up the process. Running Nightmare Dungeons: Nightmare Dungeons offer more challenging content and have high-tier loot drop rates. These dungeons are a great place to find unique items, but be aware that they are also relatively difficult and require some preparation and strategy. Participating in Helltide Events: Helltide Events occur every hour, in which players can collect Cinders by killing enemies and completing tasks. Use these Cinders to open Tortured Chests, which may contain valuable equipment such as Ugly Bastard Helm. Gamble at Purveyor of Curiosities: Purveyor of Curiosities provides a unique way to obtain Mythic Unique items like Ugly Bastard Helm. If you believe you’re lucky enough, you can try gambling with Murmuring Obols and see if you can get your hands on this powerful helmet. How To Get Heir Of Perdition? Here are some strategies to help you get your Heir of Perdition more efficiently: 1. Farming Ladder and Uber Bosses: This method is an effective way to obtain Mythic Uniques. To get Heir of Perdition, you can follow the following Bosses: Lord Zir Grigoire Echo of Duriel Beast in the Ice Echo of Andariel Varshan Grind Although the odds of getting this unique item are low on your first try, you can get some other good loot, and with repeated challenges you can accumulate your chances of getting Heir of Perdition. 2. Transmuting with Resplendent Sparks at Alchemist: Players can also craft it by attempting to transmute it at Alchemist. But this method requires the following specific materials: Gar x6 Que x6 Jah x6 or Resplendent Sparks x2 3. Gambling at Purveyor of Curiosities: If you wish to try a more luck-based method of obtaining Heir of Perdition, consider gambling with Obols at Purveyor of Curiosities. Although this method is full of uncertainty and the probability of obtaining it is extremely low, it is still a viable option for players who have numerous Obols. Ugly Bastard Helm Effect When you activate Wrath of the Berserker, it will not only significantly increase your attack power and defense but also trigger a strong explosion effect, causing 100% to 300% additional fire damage to surrounding enemies. And during the entire Berserking period, all attacks you launch will be converted into fire damage, and these fire damage will be increased by another 60% to 80%. Therefore, Ugly Bastard Helm is perfect for fire-based Barbarian builds. For players who pursue ultimate output and are eager to plunge into the enemy’s body and Berserk them in encounters, Ugly Bastard Helm is definitely worth owning. Heir Of Perdition Effect When the player succumbs to hatred and gains Mother’s Favor (Lilith’s Favor), you will increase the damage you deal by 60%. If there are other nearby players wearing the same helmet, and they also have Mother’s Favor activated, you’ll also have a chance to steal an additional 60% damage boost from them. Overall, in Diablo 4, Ugly Bastard Helm and Heir of Perdition are very powerful equipment that can significantly improve the player’s combat effectiveness. While the process of acquiring these gears can be complicated and time-consuming, they are certainly worth pursuing for players focused on building their ultimate DPS character. By participating in various game activities, players can accumulate their chances of obtaining these top-notch equipment. No matter which method is used, players need to put in enough effort and patience to finally own these powerful equipments and achieve better results in the game.

In the eager anticipation of many players, Diablo 4 Season 6 will be launched on October 8. Facing new Season, in order to respond to the various preparations made by players, the game makers have prepared a wealth of new gameplay and new Events to satisfy players. Among them, new Event Realmwalker Event is quite worth playing. As a new Event in a new Season, there are undoubtedly some key points that players need to pay attention to when participating in it, especially Main Mechanism of Event. Based on this, we introduce relevant Event Mechanism and the main gameplay for players: Basic Information About Diablo 4 Season 6 Before participating in Realmwalker Event, since this is an Event in Season 6 Hatred Rising, you must have a basic understanding of Diablo 4 Season 6 in order to better participate in related Events, so as not to waste some Diablo 4 Gold in the game process. Similar to Blood Harvests of Diablo 4 Season 2, Diablo 4 Season 6 uses a zone Event approach when planning some Events, such as Realmwalker Event. Zones of Hatred Rising use green Demon’s Head Icon on Map to represent these Events. In a sense, they also represent Corrupted Minions of Mephisto. In Zones of Hatred Rising, random Portals are generated, filling corresponding Area with swarms of Enemies, who will Attack you when you enter Area. Some of these Enemies will be enhanced by hatred, making them more difficult to Defeat than normal Enemies you encounter. Although they are not very threatening and harmful, they cannot be directly Defeated by optimized Builds because of their sturdiness. Of course, if you want to join Realwalker Event, you need to enter these Zones of Hatred Rising. Deep in these terrifying Zones, hide terrible new Enemies waiting for players to conquer and Kill them. Basic Information On Realmwalker Events When you start exploring Zone of Hatred Rising corresponding to an Event in the game, you will enter corresponding Portal. In fact, these are just a small part of Hulking Realmwalker that has Burrowed itself in Ground. At Specified Time Interval of the game, Realmwalker will Wake up from its Slumber, and then it will slowly Move through Zone of Hatred Rising. The main goal of the players is to kill Realmwalkers, but they are invincible for mostly when they pass through Zone of Hatred Rising, and even swarms of Enemies will spawn. So before Killing Realmwalkers, the player must first kill these Enemies. After these Enemies are killed, a meter will be filled, which will cause Realmwalker to summon Elite Enemies known as Bloodbound Guardians. However, the good thing is that after Defeating Bloodbound Guardians, most of Life of Realmwalkers will be consumed to a certain extent. When Realmwalker reaches the end of its Journey, you will have a Boss Battle with it. The difficulty of Battle depends on how many Bloodbound Guardians you manage to Kill on the way. If you manage to Defeat Realmwalkers, you will enter Portal on its back. After that, you will enter Seething Realm. Traversing Seething Realm In fact, Seething Realm is like a bonus Dungeon for Realmwalker Event. Because if you have Defeated Realmwalkers and Minions they spawn before, you will not have much trouble in Seething Realm. Seething Realm is divided into two floors. After passing through the first floor, you will reach Realm Gate, where you can choose what kind of Rewards you want to get on the second floor. By trading a certain amount of resources such as Murmuring Obols, you can choose Gold, Materials, Equipment, and Socketables as main Rewards. After that, you will fight Enemies that will drop these Rewards in the second floor, and then reach the last Area of ​​Seething Realm. After fighting more Enemies, you can get an open Radiant Chest there. The most important Prize is Seething Opals. What Seething Opals Do? Boiling Opals work very similarly to Elixirs in Diablo 4. They are consumables that provide you with many Standard Buffs and change Drops from Enemies based on the type of Opals you consume. Each Boiling Opal lasts for 30 minutes and Triggers the following effects: Enemies Drop Rewards based on the type of Opals. Killings accumulate Reputation with Zakarum Remnants. Players gain 15% Increased Experience. By choosing which Realm Gate to cross in Seething Realm, specific types of Seething Opals will be Dropped. Seething Opals of Torment, for example, will Drop Boss Summoning Materials for Tormented Bosses. Also, if you have Vessel of Hatred expansion, Seething Opals of Socketables will cause Enemies to Drop new Runewords. This gives you a chance to try to Craft Runewords you want. To maximize the value of Seething Opals, you’ll want to use them before entering a Helltide or beginning a Realmwalker Event. This will allow you to face large numbers of Enemies with a high frequency of Enemies Dropping Rewards you want. That’s all for the main content of Diablo 4 Season 6 Realmwalker Event, as well as some of the key points for participating in it.
