Diablo 4 Season 6 & DLC: How To Build The Best Spiritborn Build? - Overview & Build Details & Tips

If you want to maximize the effectiveness of your gear in Diablo 4, you must make full use of Tempering and Masterworking system in the game, which are aimed at offering you more agency and freedom in the aspects of item properties. Once you already have god rolls, you need Obducite to give it more power. As the main resource for Masterworking gear, Obducite is quite essential to level up your performance. Unfortunately, this item is pretty scarce, but it is still easy to operate if you know the specific location information and method. If you want to maximize the effectiveness of Legendary or Unique items like Wound Drinker, then be sure to collect enough Obducite and Masterwork them. This article mainly introduces the ways to get Obducite for your reference, and the difficulty of each game varies. It is undoubtable that the difficulties are proportional to the amount that you are gonna to embrace. Infernal Hordes Infernal Hordes serve as a great channel to get both gear and crafting materials. Players are required to fend off waves of demons while collecting Aether simultaneously, a kind of currency specialized in Infernal Hordes and is basically used to open chests at the radar of the activity. It is surprised to see one of these chests yield nothing but gem fragments Obducite. Therefore, by completing the Infernal Hordes activity, repeatedly joining in each run can easily get thousands of Obducite. In Infernal Hordes, Infernal Compass is an essential item, which can be obtained by opening Helltide chests and Tree of Whispers caches. Or to claim them by completing Nightmare Dungeons and The Pit. Nightmare Dungeons As long as you have a spare Nightmare Dungeon Keys, then a ton of crafting materials together with some decent loots are waiting for you to pick up. Comparing to Infernal Hordes mentioned above, the quests in this dungeon are relatively simple and easy to deal with. And the time you devoted in is comparatively short. So it’s understandable that it yields less Obducite. But generally speaking, Nightmare Dungeons are more profitable. Not only can players get equipment by defeating enemies and looting chests, but more valuable items can be embraced. For example, materials needed for summoning Diablo 4 bosses like the Beast in Ice. Kurast Undercity As a new dungeon that has been introduced in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred expansion, Kurast Undercity serves as the last best source in the game. This activity is unique because the specific reward objects can be chosen. Kurast Undercity activity offers players an opportunity to pick and choose what loot they get by the advantage of Tributes and Bargains system. As for Obducite farming, Tribute of Refinement is needed, which will award you Masterworking Materials once being successfully completed. Tributes are obtained randomly, but except for Tribute of Refinement, which can provide you with Obducite, other types of Tributes are not applicable. Therefore, if you make farming Obducite your main goal, you will inevitably invest more time and effort in this dungeon. Transmute At Alchemist If you don’t collect enough Obducite in the above three activities, it is recommended to convert directly. But the premise is that you have enough Ingoliths or Neathiron TO transform them to Obducite directly. But it can only be transformed in Eternal Realm. Obtainable After Reaching Level 60 As a late-game Masterworking material, Obducite is obtainable after reaching level 60. Completing various activities at higher difficulties will greatly increase your chances of obtaining Obducite. How To Use Obducite? As mentioned above, Obducite is mainly used to upgrade equipment. Obducite is quite essential to enhancing equipment affixes via Masterworking at Blacksmith. Equipped with enough Obducite and make an interaction with Blacksmith and switch to Masterworks Tab, you can upgrade your equipment. How To Masterwork Equipment? Temper Your Equipment The first step to masterwork your equipment is to temper it at any blacksmith. Depending on the level of the equipment, the number of tempers required varies. Common equipment only needs to be tempered for only one time, but Ancestral equipment required to be tempered twice to be Masterworked. After tempering, comes the role of Obducite that you have collected before. You can obtain it in the five ways mentioned above. Begin Masterwork Once you have the necessary materials, you can proceed to masterwork. Depending on the type, rarity, and level of the equipment being crafted, the amount and materials required will vary, so it is best to prepare more in advance. You can also reset the rank of any equipment you’ve Masterworked by clicking the red circle next to the item. This will cost you 30 Iron Chunks or Raw Hide, 20 Veiled Crystals, 5 Forgotten Souls, and 5,000,000 Diablo 4 Gold in total. It is important to note that Masterworking differs from the regular equipment upgrades of Blacksmith. Your equipment will not be improved by this, but only by adding affixes. Therefore, those who say that Masterworking will replace the position of Blacksmith are not reasonable. Masterwork mechanic can enhance the affixes on your equipment by 5% every rank.

Since its release, Diablo 4 has been a solid and enjoyable experience. The game has received multiple updates, and one of the biggest upcoming changes is the much-anticipated first DLC, Vessel of Hatred. The expansion promises to bring new content and challenges, from the upcoming Mephisto to the unprecedented new class Spiritborn, which heralds a new chapter for the game. Diablo 4 2.0 Public Test Realm (PTR) has been open from September 4th to 11th, and its purpose is to conduct functional testing for the release of DLC and Season 6. After testing by many players, it was concluded that Vessel of Hatred needs significant improvements in multiplayer, which is currently one of the weaker aspects of Diablo 4. In addition, one player has created a Diablo 4 hero that can defeat the most challenging boss with just one attack. Of course, with a glitch or two, this power level can be further increased to where the game refuses to calculate the result. Next, let’s inspect these issues in Vessel of Hatred. Fail To Incentivize A Social Experience Multiplayer is a clear weakness of Diablo 4. When comparing the experience of single-player and co-op players, the gap is quite significant. A whopping 85% of Diablo 4 players prefers single-player games. Given the event design included in the game and the support for co-op play, it is clear that the game development team wants to provide players with an interactive online experience. However, it seems that not only is the game lacking incentives such as Diablo 4 Gold, but forming a team is also quite cumbersome. Although the game supports cross-platform play, which in theory should increase the player base that can team up, the actual cross-platform cooperative experience does not seem to have achieved the expected effect. For example, when PC players try to communicate with console players without headphones, the fun of this social interaction is almost completely lost, and it is even worse than playing with NPCs. This problem seems to be particularly prominent in Diablo 4. With the upcoming expansion Vessel of Hatred, improving co-op should be a priority. Major Quality Of Life Upgrade Coming with Vessel of Hatred is a major quality of life upgrade that may solve the multiplayer dilemma. With the upcoming Party Finder being one of the most promising updates. Finding a group to play with has been a frustrating issue in Diablo 4 for players who enjoy co-op play. Players are hoping that Party Finder feature will be a change that makes Diablo 4 a wonderful experience for both single-player and multiplayer fans. Diablo 4 still needs a variety of quality-of-life features, and Party Finder is a positive start. Party Finder allows for a lot of customization. Instead of being matched with any open group, players can be very specific about their preferences, including specifying the type of group you want to join, choosing the game mode or activity you want to participate in, specifying a preferred play area, and setting preferences based on whether you are a casual player or a perfectionist. Party Finder will be released with Vessel of Hatred, but it will be available to all players without having to spend money to get the expansion. As Diablo 4 continues to develop, Vessel of Hatred promises to bring new life to the game, and it will be exciting to see how Party Finder changes the game’s cooperative experience. Infinite Damage Glitch Diablo 4 is a game about dealing massive amounts of damage by swinging your weapon. However, one fan, through a good understanding of the game’s mechanics and careful character building, has created a Barbarian build on PTR that has a lot of power. With the help of a glitch or two, this power level can be further increased to where the game refuses to calculate the result. This Barbarian build can turn damage numbers into infinity, a process that requires players to equip unique armor that increases the amount of damage Barbarian deals when hit, namely Thorn damage. Whirlwind ability triggers the glitch, which has the potential to break Diablo 4 and deal infinite damage. Whether this infinite damage glitch will leave PTR is questionable. While the glitch is extremely difficult to implement and requires a lot of resources, if someone successfully exploits this glitch in Diablo 4, it could have a catastrophic impact on the entire game. The development team needs to fix it now with Vessel of Hatred on the horizon. The community will probably come up with many convoluted ways to break the action-RPG before the release of Diablo 4’s first major expansion on October 8, and with the addition of items and an original character class in Vessel of Hatred, there should be more opportunities to create super-powerful builds. We look forward to seeing how Diablo 4 continues to grow and brings more exciting experiences to players, and if you’re missing certain items or gear while exploring Diablo 4, you can follow Giveaway channel in iGMeet discord and be more active in the discord group, which will post Diablo 4 product giveaway information from time to time.

The highly anticipated meeting of Diablo 4 Season 5 with many players is officially scheduled for August 6, 2024. From the many known information, players can’t wait to enter the game experience. Among them, the most discussed is Infernal Hordes, which is a wave-based game mode in this season. In the Season 5 PTR some time ago, many players have already experienced this new mode first. This guide will tell you what you will encounter in the official version of Infernal Hordes and how you should deal with it based on the content of the previous PTR. Then come and take a look! What Is Infernal Hordes? Infernal Hordes in Season 5 is a wave-based combat activity with a little rogue-like touch. In this activity, you will be asked to fight against enemies who attack you continuously, and they will even attack you as a wave, which can generate Aetheric Events. As you complete these events, you can earn Boons to increase your combat power. Eventually you’ll face off against Fell Council, and defeating them will earn you the ultimate reward. As you progress through the Tier of Infernal Horde, the number of Waves you need to clear will increase, with one wave added per level. This means you’ll get more Burning Aether from more waves, but the monsters will also become more powerful. How To Enter Infernal Hordes? Before you can enter Infernal Hordes, you’ll need to complete Eyes of Enemy quest near Zarbinzet in Hawezar. You’ll get Locran’s Talisman Unique Amulet and a Tier 1 Infernal Compass at the end of the quest. Remember this Infernal Compass, it’ll be very useful later in your quest. There are 8 levels of Infernal Compasses in Infernal Hordes. The first three are natural drops, and the next 5 require you to use Abyssal Scroll to upgrade Tier 3 Compass. Here are the specific levels of Infernal Compasses: Tier 1: Obtained from Whisper Caches, Helltide Chests and Nightmare Dungeons (WT3). You need to fight monsters of level 50-70 here. Tier 2: Obtained from Whisper Caches, Helltide Chests and Nightmare Dungeons (WT4). You need to fight monsters of level 70-100 here. Tier 3: Obtained from Whisper Caches, Helltide Chests and Nightmare Dungeons (WT4 at Level 100). You need to fight monsters of level 100 here. Tier 4: Use Abyssal Scroll to upgrade Tier 3 Compass. Here you need to fight against level 120 monsters. Tier 5: Use Abyssal Scroll to upgrade Tier 4 Compass. Here you need to fight against level 140 monsters. Tier 6: Use Abyssal Scroll to upgrade Tier 5 Compass. Here you need to fight against level 160 monsters. Tier 7: Use Abyssal Scroll to upgrade Tier 6 Compass. Here you need to fight against level 180 monsters. Tier 8: Use Abyssal Scroll to upgrade Tier 7 Compass. Here you need to fight against level 200 monsters. Abyssal Scrolls can be obtained through Spoils of Hell or salvaging Infernal Compasses. But you need to note that the number of Abyssal Scrolls obtained when salvaging is determined by Tier of Compass. Starting from Tier 4, an additional Abyssal Scroll will be added for each level upgrade. How Do Infernal Hordes Waves Work? In Infernal Hordes, each wave consists of a group of enemies who will try their best to defeat you. However, it is always in vain. After you defeat these enemies, Aetheric Events will be generated, and you can get Burning Aether in these events. Remember to save your Burning Aether, which is the most important thing in Infernal Hordes and can be exchanged for Spoils of Hell. Each wave lasts about 2 minutes, and the total game lasts about 10 minutes. There is currently no timer that can be displayed on the screen, but you can set a timer somewhere else, such as your phone, so that there is a certain urgency. Aetheric Events After defeating a certain number of enemies in each wave, you will fill up a meter. After filling, these enemies will spawn some events in the current arena. You need to note that the rewards and difficulty of each event are random, but you can use some Boons after each wave to increase the frequency or value of a certain event. Currently, there are 6 Aetheric Events that will appear. Aether Fiends, Aether Lords, Aetheric Masses, Burning Butcher, Hellborne, and Soulspires. Aether Fiends Aether Fiends are very common Elite Monsters. The difference between them and other Aetheric Events is that they will drop some Burning Aether after death. If your class or build cannot easily fight against the boss, you can use Boons to increase the frequency of this event, so that you can get more Burning Aether. But you should also be reminded that not all Aether Fiends are easy to deal with. Some of the rarer ones may make Infernal Horde more difficult. For example, Rashibosh can cause fire damage in a large area, so please be well protected before preparing for the battle. Aether Lords Aether Lords are an upgraded version of Dungeon and Stronghold Bosses in the game, and include all boss types. However, Endgame Boss Ladder is not included. Although you may have seen them in previous seasons and know what their attacks are, you still can’t take them lightly because there are some recent attacks. Most of these additional attacks are an AOE damage or crowd control. Once you reach Tier 3 and above, you will need to use some weapons and builds that can deal with super high damage and make the most of them. As a result, you will get a lot of Burning Aether and a lot of Diablo 4 Gold after defeating Aether Lords. Unlike other Aetheric Events, Aether Lords will only appear when you using Boons. Aetheric Mass Aetheric Mass actually works very similar to Corrupted Spires in Helltide. The surrounding space is divided into 6 sections, and it will only attack three of them at a time. So there will be a certain gap between each damage area, and what you need to do is to defeat Aetheric Mass in these gaps. Similarly, after being destroyed, it will also drop Burning Aether. Burning Butcher In previous seasons, Butcher was a must-have in Hell. In the new Infernal Hordes Mode, Butcher takes on a distinct look, as it adds some fire to its gear. Like Aether Lords, you’ll need to prepare all the gear that can deal with high damage before fighting Burning Butcher. Usually, you will get 25 or more Burning Aether after defeating Burning Butcher. Hellborne You may have seen Hellborne in previous seasons, but unlike Butcher, it has not changed much this season. Hellborne here usually appears in groups of 2 or 3 at a time, so you need to choose weapons or builds that can deal group damage or crowd control. You don’t have to worry about the number of Burning Aethers dropped, because each group will drop Burning Aether after you successfully defeat it, and this event is very reliable, just like Aether Fiends. But you should be aware that Hellborne also requires Boons to appear in Infernal Hordes. Soulspire These are similar to Corrupted Spires in Helltide, but without the health drain. You need to stand near it and defeat a certain number of enemies until it explodes, and you can eventually pick up Burning Aether. Boons Boons in Infernal Hordes always have a duality. You can use them to increase the frequency of a certain event, but you can also increase the strength of the enemies in the event. It depends on which you want more. Fell Council Fell Council is a variation of Council in Diablo 2 that was corrupted and twisted because of Mephisto’s influence. In Diablo 4 Season 5’s Infernal Hordes, the 5 Council members have original attacks, but similarly, each Fell Council can summon Hydras with unique characteristics. You can fight 3 random Hydras after Infernal Hordes ends. This means that you need to be well prepared so that you can quickly enter the battle. The above is some introduction to the new Infernal Hordes Mode in Diablo 4 Season 5. In anticipation, players are welcome to join the player community in Discord to express some insights and opinions. In addition, you can also receive welfare information released by iGMeet Discord while waiting for the official release of Season 5! Come and participate!
