Diablo 4 Season 4 Unveiled: Leaks, Roadmap, and Game-Changing Updates for 2024

According to the current news released by the developers, the seventh season of Diablo 4 will meet with players on January 21, 2025. Some time ago, the PTR for this new season officially ended, and many players were fortunate to participate in it and put forward their own feedback for the improvement of the game. Among the new game content in Season 7, the most worth introducing is that there may be a Class using Witchcraft Powers added to the game, which may bring more and better game experience and more build possibilities to players. In addition, the original Classes have also undergone some changes. Among them, the biggest change is Spiritborn, which was once a darling of Season 6, but it may be weakened in the new season. However, this guide is not mainly about it, but the controversial Sorcerer and Druid in the last season, both of which have received many disagreements because of their one-sided strength but the lack of the other. Next, let’s take a look at what changes these two Classes will have in the next season! Sorcerer Compared to the previous season, the spells cast by Sorcerer in Season 7 can become hotter or colder, and can make players more excited when manipulating it. First of all, in the new season, Sorcerer has two new Uniques - Strike of Stormhorn and Okun’s Catalyst. They bring you a new good friend called Super Ball Lightning, which can spin like a hula hoop full of lightning and cause irresistible lightning damage to the enemy, so that you can stride forward unhindered. In addition to the new skill Ball Lightning, there is also a new skill called Inferno, which can increase the vulnerability to enemies inside the group of enemies, and the fire skill of Sorcerer has also been greatly enhanced, which is what I just said that this Class has become hotter. For colder, it is because Deep Freeze skill has been changed, and its damage has become stronger and it can provide you with a barrier when you thaw. There are also a number of changes to Enchantments and Passives, making your builds in Season 7 healthier, faster to clear, and more flexible, making it much easier to get loot and Diablo 4 Gold with your Sorcerer next season, and speeding up your game progress. Legendary Aspects, which are very important to Sorcerer build, have also undergone some changes, such as Pyro, Frost, and Shock skills, which have multiple functions for generating barriers, helping you increase your movement speed and attack speed, and immobilization, which can give you a better advantage in the challenge of some bosses. Not only that, the Ball Lightning enhancement function just introduced can make you a static destruction field for enemies. Overall, the poor survivability that was criticized last season may be greatly improved next season. This will be very good news for some players who like to stand in the safe range and use spells to defeat enemies, so that they don’t have to spend a lot of effort on gear that improves defense in their Sorcerer builds and give up damage enhancements.

Druid Druid is getting some love from the developers in the next season, which is reflected in the addition of Uniques and some skill improvements. First, the most noteworthy Unique is Malefic Crescent Amulet, which can greatly increase the critical damage and movement speed of a Druid in werewolf form, and the level of Feral Aptitude has also been increased. On top of that, the damage of Lupine Ferocity on consecutive critical hits has also been increased by 100%-150% by this item. In addition, Mjölnic Ryng allows Druid to gain unlimited Spirit and 40%-100% increased damage while Cataclysm is active, which greatly improves the shortcomings of the Class’s poor damage ability. Not only that, Tempest Roar can also convert some of your Willpower damage into Willpower in combat, making you more tanky. Not only is the poor damage ability a disadvantage that players have been discussing, but the information that Druid lacks flexibility is also widely known. But fortunately, in Season 7, Druid’s proud Hurricane skill can be cast while moving, increasing its chances of winning in battles that require a certain degree of flexibility. As for other attack damage skills, they have all been improved to some extent, such as Raging Shred, which will increase your skill set by 30% poison damage and Grizzly Rage by 60%. The most exaggerated one can be said to be Lacerate, whose damage value has increased to 600% of the original! It can be predicted here that this skill will definitely become one of the most important skills in Druid’s build because it is too powerful. In previous seasons, Druid’s Passives can be said to be very difficult to choose, because only one of the strong survivability and damage ability can be retained. But in Diablo 4 Season 7, you may no longer be bothered by this problem, because several passive skills that deal damage have been buffed. For example, Lupine Ferocity will increase your critical hit damage by 75% for every three Werewolf casts that hit, Heightened Senses will increase your movement speed by 3% in werewolf form, and Charged Atmosphere will increase your build’s lightning damage by 10%. Since Druid is the only Class in the game with human and beast multi-forms, the choice of Spirit Boons is also very important for the build. In view of this, the developers have made certain enhancements to Deer and Wolf: the former can help you deal 5% extra damage with subsequent damage attacks when attacked, while the latter allows you to restore all your Spirit when you cast Lucky Hit. These are some changes you will see for the Sorcerer and Druid classes in Diablo 4 Season 7. Since the official version of the next season has not yet been announced, some of the key attributes and statistics in this guide are not accurate and are for reference only. You can also participate in some giveaways for D4 game products in iGMeet Discord in your free time, which may make your exploration of the next season easier.

The main campaign of Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred is just the beginning of the adventure. Once you complete the main story, a world of endless possibilities will open up to you. From finding and destroying demons in a vast open world to challenging those cleverly designed secret dungeons with varying degrees of difficulty, and more activities are waiting for players to explore. Faced with such a rich selection of content, many players may not know which new things to try first. Below, we will introduce you to some suggestions to help you better enjoy the game after completing Vessel of Hatred. 7. Complete Deeds Of A Champion Quest Deeds Of A Champion Quest will automatically unlock after you beat the main story and serve as a gateway to introduce endgame activities. If you are unsure of what to do next after completing Vessel of Hatred’s main campaign, Deeds Of A Champion Quest will be a perfect starting point. By doing this quest, you will familiarize yourself with several key locations - Kurast Undercity, Tree of Whispers, Helltide, and Pit of the Artificer. Below, we will introduce each place and its featured activities. 6. Farm Cinders To Open Tortured Gifts In Diablo 4’s endgame, Helltide is a core activity that provides players with a constant challenge and rich rewards. Every hour, random areas of the game’s map will be covered in Helltide, which are infested with demons and present opportunities for brave adventurers to earn loot. By defeating these demons, players can earn Aberrant Cinders, which can be used to open Tortured Gifts in Helltide. It is important to note that when Helltide moves to a new area, your Aberrant Cinders do not transfer with it. This means that you must use them before they disappear or you will lose this hard-earned currency. The rewards provided by Tortured Gifts are very attractive, including large amounts of Diablo 4 Gold, experience points, and the opportunity to obtain legendary or unique equipment, which are important resources for improving the strength of your characters. To more effectively deal with Helltide, many players recommend the strategy of using Baneful Hearts to summon Blood Maiden. The Blood Maiden is a powerful ally that provides a lot of support in battle and drops numerous Aberrant Cinders and other valuable loot after defeating enemies. This makes her one of the ideal choices for fighting against Helltide. 5. Unlock Kurast Undercity Kurast Undercity is a challenging endgame activity in Diablo 4 that can be gradually unlocked by completing Deeds of a Champion quest. This introductory quest consists of two key steps: Kurast Undercity and Undercity: Wail of the Forgotten. Once completed, you can freely explore Kurast Undercity. Kurast Undercity is designed as a complex maze-like structure divided into three levels. The first two levels are mainly timed tasks, where you need to act quickly to overcome various obstacles and defeat the enemies that keep coming. It is worth noting that there are some Braziers scattered throughout these two levels, which can increase your Attunement by lighting them or simply destroying the surrounding monsters. Gaining a high Attunement can increase your chances of obtaining rare rewards from the boss in the third level. 4. Participate In Infernal Hordes Activity Before participating in Infernal Hordes activity, players need to obtain Infernal Compass. It can be crafted from Occultist or dropped as a reward from other activities such as Nightmare Dungeons or Helltide. Once you have Infernal Compass, you can participate in Infernal Hordes activity. Completing these activities will earn your Aether, which can be exchanged for rich loot after the battle. 3. Clear Nightmare Dungeons Nightmare Dungeons are popular among players because of their high chance of dropping powerful equipment and Masterworking materials. To enter Nightmare Dungeons, you first need to complete other Nightmare Dungeons or craft them at Occultist to obtain a specific Nightmare Sigil. Clearing Nightmare Dungeons can earn Obducite, which can be used to Masterwork your gear. 2. Defeat Uber Bosses In order to summon Uber Bosses, you need to collect specific materials, and the type of these materials depends on the boss you hope to face. Usually, these materials can be obtained by participating in other types of endgame activities, such as Nightmare Dungeons, Helltide, or World Bosses. After defeating Uber Bosses, you will obtain Uniques and Mythic Uniques. 1. Clear Dark Citadel In Dark Citadel, multiple players need to team up to explore a large dungeon and face a series of powerful enemies and bosses together. Because of the extremely high difficulty of this mode, Dark Citadel only supports multiplayer cooperative mode, but it provides a Party Finder tool for players to recruit teammates to join their team. Dark Citadel is divided into three wings, each with a unique environment and enemy layout, as well as powerful bosses to overcome. Dark Citadel is considered the second most difficult endgame activity in the game after Uber Bosses. Therefore, it is best to accumulate enough equipment and experience through other activities before taking on the challenge of Dark Citadel. Through the above suggestions, we hope to help you enjoy the game better and continue to challenge yourself and improve your strength in the world of Diablo 4. Finally, if you have some better ideas to share, you can discuss with more players in iGMeet discord group, and Giveaway channel will often release information about Diablo 4 product giveaways.

In the first expansion of Diablo 4, Vessel of Hatred DLC, a lot of new content has been added, such as new mechanics and new classes. But the most important thing for players to spend time researching is Runewords system, because it is not in the previous base game, and it can add a huge power boost to your character and gear. In Runewords system, the most important thing must be Runes. It is scattered all over the game, but you need to look carefully at it. This guide will introduce you to some methods to obtain these precious Runes and their specific uses. How To Farm Runes? There are many ways to get more runes in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred, some of which are very easy, but some are very difficult. Although most methods have a sense of randomness, there are ways if you want to guarantee a certain rune. World Bosses Drops The easiest and most common way to get Runes is by defeating World Bosses, as they appear from chests or loot provided by enemies. Because of the randomness of farming, you should try to farm in places with a high density of enemies, such as The Pit or Helltides. Or you can challenge some higher difficulty enemies, such as directly challenging the enemies in Torment Difficulty Tiers. But it should be noted that you need to use Diablo 4 Gold in advance to make your build strong enough so that there will be no waste of resources or materials, and it is possible to get numerous Runes at once. Alternatively, you can also try to challenge some enemies with a lot of excellent loot in the new Kurast Undercity. They are also very worthwhile. Crafting Runes In addition to the above random methods of obtaining runes, you can also obtain some specific runes through crafting. You need to use three runes of the same rarity and craft different types of rarer runes at Jeweler. Of course, you can also use the crafting system at Jeweler and the runes you have to craft other Diablo 4 Items, such as Mythic Uniques that can provide you with very large buffs and very rare Resplendent Sparks. This means that you can get multiple Resplendent Sparks in this expansion and the current season of the base game of Diablo 4 - from Tormented Bosses, from Lilith, from the reputation system, and from this crafting system. Trade With Other Players In addition to the above two self-reliant methods, you can also trade the runes you want with other players, which will make you more sure that you can get the runes you want. But here, I need to remind you that trading is risky, so please always be vigilant. What Are Runes For? There are tons of runes available in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred DLC, and they are divided into two categories: Runes of Invocation and Runes of Ritual. When you combine one of the two rune types together, these runes form Runewords. You can then insert them into any weapon, item, or gear piece with two slots. Rune of Ritual can generate resources called Offerings, which are used to trigger Runes of Invocation. This means that you need to have enough Offering for Runes of Invocation to work, and the stronger Invocation, the more Offering you need. The opposite is also true: the harder Rune of Ritual is to obtain, the more Offering they will generate, and the stronger the effect. So in short, only high-level or rare Rune of Ritual will make the entire Runewords have the strongest effect, which means that the build you put in will also become stronger. The following is the number of Offerings each Rune of Ritual can provide and the number of Offerings each Runes of Invocation requires. You can choose the corresponding rune combination based on this list, and the attributes of the items you want to equip. Runes Of Ritual Ahu - 10 Bac - 50 Cem - 50 Cir - 25 Feo - 1000 Kaa - 2 Lith - 25 Moni - 10 Neo - 300 Noc - 5 Poc - 2 Tam - 25 Ur - 10 Xol - 150 Yax - 100 Yul - 50 Zan - 150 Runes Of Ritual Ceh - 100 Eom - 100 Gar - 25 Jah - 500 Kry - 500 Lac - 800 Lum - 5 Met - 100 Mot - 150 Ner - 700 Ohm - 500 Ono - 25 Qax - 400 Qua - 400 Tal - 100 Teb - 100 Tec - 100 Thul - 400 Ton - 25 Tun - 100 Tzic - 250 Vex - 400 Wat - 100 Xal - 200 Xan - 700 Yom - 500 Zec - 200 There are currently three rarities of Runes - Magic Runes, Rare Runes and Legendary Runes. And each will increase the power and ability of Runewords according to its rarity. But here you need to be reminded that no matter how many slots you have in your weapon or other items, you can only equip a maximum of two Runewords at a time, which is 4 Runes. These are the methods to obtain and use runes in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred DLC. You may need to try this combination of Runewords yourself, or you can also find combinations shared by other players in player communities such as iGMeet Discord. Most importantly, you will have a chance to get some Diablo 4 Gold or other rare items. Have fun playing the game!

By advantage of the power of The Third Blade, you are able to turn Mighty Throw into an unbelievable way to burn off Fury. To get Fury, you can enlist the power of two Shouts (Wrath of the Berserker/Rallying Cry). This build runs all three Shouts as well to keep you safe and powerful.
