Diablo 4 Season 6: What Barbarian Builds Are Available For Players To Try?

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 has entered its sixth season, called Season of Hatred Rising. There are a lot of new content for players to explore in this new season, but the purpose of exploring the endgame will never change - farming some rare items. These rare items, also known as Uniques, will have higher attributes and some better affixes than the loot you get in some simple battles. And among Uniques, there is such a category of items that have more powerful effects, called Mythic Uniques. These Mythic Uniques are very difficult to obtain by defeating bosses in endgame activities, and you may even spend hours on an item. But fortunately, there is another way in the game that can get you out of the threat of RNG. That is to use Resplendent Sparks and some rare runes to make Mythic Uniques you want. There are several ways to farm Resplendent Sparks in the current season, so you can use it as your primary method of obtaining Mythic Uniques. This guide will explain the farming methods and uses of Resplendent Sparks to help you speed up the crafting process. How To Farm Resplendent Sparks? Echo Of Lilith After defeating Echo of Lilith or Uber Lilith for the first time in the current season, you will find a Resplendent Spark among the loot it provides. It should be noted that Uber Lilith is the boss that can be summoned when you complete Echo of Hatred quest when you first enter Torment difficulty. Of course, this also means that Uber Lilith is one of the most tough bosses in the game, so you need to prepare for it accordingly, such as using as much Diablo 4 Gold as possible to enhance the survivability or offensive capabilities of your build. Tormented Bosses Similarly, defeating any Tormented Boss for the first time will reward you with a Resplendent Spark. There are six different Tormented Echo bosses, each requiring different summoning materials to challenge. Like Echo of Lilith, you will also get Resplendent Sparks when you first defeat some Tormented Bosses. In the current Diablo 4 Season 6, you can challenge 6 different Tormented Echo bosses. Here you need to be reminded that these bosses require you to bring some Summoning Materials to the designated summoning location to summon them. The following are their required summoning materials and locations. Lord Zir Summoning Materials: 12 Exquisite Blood Summoning Location: Darkened Way in Fractured Peaks Varshan Summoning Materials: 4 Malignant Heart Summoning Location: Malignant Burrow in Hawezar Grigoire Summoning Materials: 12 Living Steel Summoning Location: Hall of the Penitent in Dry Steppes Beast In The Ice Summoning Materials: 12 Distilled Fear Summoning Location: Glacial Fissure in Desolate Highlands Duriel Summoning Materials: 2 Mucus-Slick Egg & 2 Shard of Agony Summoning Location: Gaping Crevasse in Kehjistan Andariel Summoning Materials: 2 Sandscorched Shackles & 2 Pincushioned Doll Summoning Location: Hanged Man’s Hall in Kehjistan Season Journey Rewards At the end of your Season Journey, you’ll receive a Resplendent Spark after completing the last chapter. And when you complete all the challenges, you’ll receive a Destroyer’s Cache, which contains a Resplendent Spark and other rare resources. Season Reputation Rewards Besides Season Journey Rewards, you can also increase your reputation with different factions in Sanctuary by completing certain seasonal objectives. Like Season Battle Pass, this reputation system also has a reward track, and when you reach high levels, you can get a reward package containing a Resplendent Spark. In the current Diablo 4 Season of Hatred Rising, you need to increase your Zakarum Remnants Reputation. You can increase your reputation by defeating Realmwalkers, completing Seething Realms, and consuming Seething Opals. Reuse Mythic Uniques The above methods can only obtain Resplendent Sparks once in a season. If you want to obtain it repeatedly, there is only one way, that is to reuse those Mythic Uniques you don’t need, because each Mythic Unique will provide you with a Resplendent Spark. As mentioned earlier, those Tormented Bosses may drop Resplendent Sparks, but at the same time, they may also drop some Mythic Uniques. Among them, Duriel and Andariel are the bosses with the highest drop rate. You can spend more time and summon materials on them. Because some Mythic Uniques are only applicable to a specific class, so when you get Diablo 4 Items in the loot that are not applicable to your build or character, you can completely reuse them. How To Use Resplendent Sparks? Once you have collected these very rare Resplendent Sparks, you can then craft Mythic Uniques at Blacksmith or Jeweler. At Blacksmith, you can spend 2 Resplendent Sparks and 50 million Diablo 4 Gold to craft one of the 12 Mythic Uniques of the season randomly. If you want to craft a specific Mythic Unique, you can only go to Jeweler and craft it using 2 Resplendent Sparks and different Runes. Here are the materials required to craft each Mythic Unique in Jeweler, excluding Resplendent Sparks. Andariel’s Visage: 6 Tam Rune & 6 Qax Rune & 6 Zan Rune Harlequin’s Crest: 6 Eom Rune & 6 Lac Rune & 6 Ton Rune Heir of Perdition: 6 Joh Rune & 6 Que Rune & 6 Gar Rune Melted Heart of Selig: 6 Vex Rune & 6 Thul Rune & 6 Tun Rune Nesekem, the Herald: 6 Yul Rune & 6 Wat Rune & 6 Tal Rune Ring of Starless Skies: 6 Ohm Rune & 6 Tzic Rune & 6 Cem Rune Shattered Vow: 6 Xan Rune & 6 Ner Rune & 6 Teb Rune Shroud of False Death: 6 Bac Rune & 6 Kry Rune & 6 Moni Rune Tyrael’s Might: 6 Lith Rune & 6 Feo Rune & 6 Tec Rune It should be noted here that, besides the above, other Mythic Uniques can only be obtained randomly through Mythic Unique cache in Blacksmith. The above are the methods and precautions for how to obtain and use Resplendent Sparks in Diablo 4 Season 6. I hope this guide can make your process of farming Resplendent Sparks easier, and you can get more Mythic Uniques to enhance your character. I wish you a happy game! If you have any experience exploring this new season, you are welcome to share it with many players in iGMeet Discord, which will definitely help some players who are stuck in the quagmire. In addition, you can also participate in a lottery here, and there are some summoning materials in the prize pool. The winners will be announced on October 28. I wish you good luck!

The much-anticipated update to Blizzard's iconic action-RPG, Diablo IV, is here, featuring significant balance adjustments to the Classes in a bid to enhance the gaming experience and maintain the health of the game. Addressing the community, the game developers have clarified their vision behind the latest changes: to ensure an even more enjoyable, better balanced gameplay experience across the board. The updates can be broadly divided into three categories: Reduction in Class Build Power: Some Class builds and synergies were identified as being excessively powerful, to an extent that it was affecting the overall health of the game. Therefore, their effectiveness has been significantly reduced in this update. A notable instance was situations where players could endure extraordinarily high damage for extended periods, which did not align with the intended combat design in Diablo IV. Boost in Skill and Build Effectiveness: The developers recognized that certain skills and builds were not performing as effectively as they had envisioned. In response to this, buffs have been introduced to bolster their strength, enhancing the gaming experience for users employing these tactics. Paragon Glyphs Tweaked: The Paragon Glyphs were found to be providing an excessive boost to player power. To ensure a balanced gameplay, their overall effectiveness has been toned down in the new update. Here’s the list of changes to all classes: BARBARIAN -- Some pretty huge hits to Whirlwind Barbs, especially Gohr’s, which was creating a zillion explosions with activation and de-activation 1.Challenging Shout (Skill) - Damage Reduction gained from Skill Ranks reduced from 4% to 2% 2.Bold Chieftain’s Aspect - Cooldown reduction per Nearby enemy reduced from 2.7-5.4 seconds to 1.0-1.9 seconds. Maximum Cooldown reduction from 12 to 6 seconds. 3. Aspect of the Dire Whirlwind - Increased Critical Strike Chance per second reduced from 5-10% to 3-8%. Maximum Critical Strike Chance bonus reduced from 20-40% to 9-24%. 4. Gohr’s Devastating Grips (Unique Legendary) - Explosion damage gained from Whirlwind reduced from 50-70% to 16-26%. Damage against wreckable objects no longer increases explosion damage. Explosion damage is only increased by the first 100 hits of Whirlwind. DRUID -- This one is a mix of nerfs and buffs. Lightning-based builds in particular got a little bit of a buff, but there are definitely a lot of nerfs in here as well, which I’ve already seen some Druid players complaining about. 1.Pulverize (Skill) - Lucky Hit Chance reduced from 33% to 25%. 2.Lightning Storm (Skill) - Damage increased from 32% to 40%. 3.Grizzly Rage (Skill) - Damage bonus increased from 5/10/15% to 6/12/18%. 4.Obsidian Slam (Specialization) - Kills required for bonus increased from 10 to 20. 5.Calm Before the Storm (Specialization) - Lucky Hit Chance reduced from 15% to 10%. 6.Electric Shock (Passive) - Damage bonus increased from 5/10/15% to 6/12/18%. 7.Shockwave Aspect - Damage reduced from 90-130% to 60-100%. 8.Crashstone Aspect - Critical Strike Damage reduced from 40-50% to 30-40%. 9.Lightning Dancer’s Aspect - Flat damage increased from .5-.6 to .7-.8. NECROMANCER -- Out of all the classes, Necro actually got the most buffs by far. Most of these are focused on minion buffs including damage buffs to both skeletons and Golems, including a huge swing on an Iron Golem skill. I guess they were underperforming compared to the other classes a bit. 1.Blood Lance (Skill) - Damage increased from 67.5% to 80%. 2.Army of the Dead (Skill) - Damage increased from 30% to 45%. Cooldown reduced from 90 to 70 seconds. 3.Blood Wave (Skill) - Damage increased from 90% to 120%. 4.Shadowblight (Passive) - Damage increased from 20% to 22%. 5.Grim Harvest (Passive) - Essence gained reduced from 3/6/9 to 2/4/6. 6.Serration (Passive) - Critical Strike Chance reduced from .5/1/1.5% to .3/.6/.9%. 7.Death’s Defense (Passive) - Maximum Minion Life lost in a single damage instance reduced from 75/60/45% to 60/45/30%. 8.Raise Skeleton (Specialization) - Skeleton Warrior attack damage increased by 10%. 9.Golem (Specialization) - Golem attack damage increased by 10%. 10.Blood Golem (Specialization) - Blood Golem Life drain damage increased from 40% to 90%. 11.Blood Golem Life drain healing from enemies hit increased from 4% to 5%. 12.Iron Golem (Specialization) - Iron Golem slam damage increased from 25% to 175%. Iron Golem shockwave damage increased from 30% to 40%. 13.Hulking Monstrosity (Paragon Board) - Golem Life and damage bonus increased from 30% to 40% Life. 14.Cult Leader (Paragon Board) - Golem Life and damage bonus increased from 30% to 40% Life. ROGUE -- A couple buffs here, but the main thing is the decimation of the extremely popular Twisting Blades build, which was already emerging as a strong favorite. Too strong for Blizzard’s taste, and it’s getting hammered pretty hard here. 1.Twisting Blades (Skill) - Advanced Twisting Blades Cooldown reduction per enemy hit reduced from .25 to .1 seconds. Advanced Twisting Blades maximum Cooldown reduction reduced from 3 to 2 seconds. 2.Rapid Fire (Skill) - Damage increased from 24% to 30%. 3.Dark Shroud (Skill) - Damage Reduction per shadow gained from Skill Ranks reduced from .8% to .4%. 4.Dash (Skill) - Enhanced Dash Critical Strike Damage bonus from 20% to 15%. 5.Caltrops (Skill) - Damage increased from 30% to 40%. 6.Concussive (Passive) - Critical Strike Chance reduced from 5/10/15% to 4/8/12%. 7.Repeating (Affix) - Maximum Minion Life lost in a single damage instance reduced from 75/60/45% to 60/45/30%. SORCERER -- Sorcerer was barely touched. Either they think it’s pretty balanced or they haven’t had much time to dig into its potential issues yet. But no destroyed builds via nerfs here. 1.Arc Lash (Skill) - Lucky Hit Chance reduced from 30% to 14%. Glinting Arc Lash Cooldown reduction reduced from .25 to .15 seconds. 2.Teleport (Skill) - Shimmering Teleport’s Damage Reduction duration reduced from 5 to 3 seconds. 3.Aspect of Control - Bonus damage reduced from 30-40% to 25-35%. PARAGON BOARDS --  There are some huge, overall changes to Paragon Boards, where Blizzard thought that Glyphs were way, way too strong so they are getting somewhat slaughtered: 1.Rare Nodes - Player Attack Speed nodes reduced by 50%. Glyphs: 1.All Glyph Bonus scaling has been reduced by ~34%, except for the following: 2.Critical Strike Damage Glyphs’ Bonus reduced by ~66%. 3.Vulnerable Glyphs’ Bonus reduced by ~66%. 4.Glyphs' Bonus to Rare nodes reduced by ~50%. 5.Glyphs' Bonus to Magic nodes reduced by ~40%. 6.Glyphs' Bonus to Cold/Fire/Lightning/Non-Physical/Physical nodes reduced by ~62.5%. Most players are probably not even touching the Glyph system yet, so this is super hardcore speed levelers and their super builds, but I know many are not happy.
