Diablo 4 Season 6: How To Utilize Frenzy Thorns Build As A Barbarian?

Belial, a classic Diablo boss, returns in Diablo 4 Season 8. This demon of lies has three forms in Diablo 4: Apparition, “Mini” Belial and “Uber” Belial.

Like Uber Lilith, Uber Belial will be the most hard fight in Diablo 4. To get Belial’s boss powers, you must defeat him first. Here’s how to deal with Belial.

How To Summon Belial?

There are three different Belial in the game that appear in three different ways.

• Apparition Belial: After defeating the first two bosses in Apparition Incursion, the last boss is Belial.
• Mini Belial: When you defeat Lair boss, maybe Belial’s Ambush will be triggered. Mini Belial will appear and attack you.
• Uber Belial: Uber Belial requires no summoning materials, but you will need 2 Betrayer’s Husks to open its chest, and Betrayer’s Husks are dropped by Mini Belial.

Once you have enough Betrayer’s Husks, you can go to the dungeon in Palace of the Deceiver in Kehjistan to summon Uber Belial.

How To Prepare?

Adjust Your Build

Uber Belial does not rely on summons, and will frequently use various skills to affect your movement range. Therefore, you can use some Diablo 4 Gold to re-select your skills to ensure that your build can deal damage to a single boss while also ensuring that you have enough survivability.

Poison Resistance

Many of Uber Belial’s skills deal lots of poison damage. If you have a high poison resistance, this fight will not be that difficult. You can use Elixir of Poison Resistance II to increase your poison resistance.

Required Crafting Materials:

• Bundled Herbs x 40
• Emerald Fragment x 300
• Angelbreath x 30
• 6000 Diablo 4 Gold

Belial’s Skills

Belial deals mostly poison and physical damage, so you’ll want to maximize your armor and poison resistance. Belial has a Stagger Bar, and when you fill it up during a fight, Belial will turn blue and be briefly stunned, which is a great time to lean in on your damage.

Uber Belial

Belial has a few attacks to watch out for:

• Claw Sweep: Belial stabs into the platform with one claw, then sweeps across it. Avoid standing on top of the platform to avoid this attack, and positioning is the key to avoid.
• Poison Spray: Belial sprays poison from one end of the platform to the other. You need to stand in front of the black eyes to avoid damage, and all other eyes will cast deadly venom all over the platform.
• Poison Wave: The pools of poison slide across the platform from left to right. If multiple pools of poison appear, use defensive skills or potions and stay out of their path.
• Belial’s Eyes of Betrayal: Belial summons seven eyes around himself. One to three of the eyes will turn black/inactive. Stand in front of the black eyes to avoid damage. All other eyes will cast deadly poison all over the platform.
• Poison Pools (Tracking): Belial will stab the platform with his claws and create poison pools at your feet. These pools will track your position, so you need to keep moving and be careful to avoid the pools that form until the attack is over.

Mini Belial

Mini Belial deals the same type of damage as Uber Belial, but it appears after you defeat Lair Boss, leaving the player with little time to prepare, but it is easy to deal with if you know his skills.

• Poison Wave: Belial marks a rectangular area in front of him and releases a poison wave that sweeps across the entire platform. Stay away from the area before the wave hits to avoid being hit hard.
• Poison Pools: Large poison pools will spawn near Belial and explode. Keep moving and avoid these areas when poison pools appear.
• Poison Bombs: A phantom of Belial appears, firing poison bombs into the arena. Keep dodging to avoid getting knocked out by the crossfire.
• Black Soulstone: Three or more Soulstones spawn and explode shortly after. Watch their positions and keep your distance before they explode.
• Belial Illusion: Three mini versions of Belial appear in a red circle. Once activated, they release poison waves and trigger other mechanics. Avoid the center and keep moving until the circle disappears.
• Connected Black Soulstones: One or two Soulstones connect directly to Belial and begin tracking you, and they will follow you until they explode. Keep your distance and use evasive skills to avoid getting trapped.
• Blood Strike from the Air: Blood spears drop from the air in a random pattern, and you need to pay attention to the red signs on the ground and hurry.
• Adds Spawns: Elite snake-like adds will join the fight when ambushed. Focus on them quickly to avoid being overwhelmed, especially in high-density mechanics.

Loot Pool

Belial has no fixed loot pool, but after defeating him and opening Belial’s treasure with Betrayer’s Husk, you can choose the loot pool of other lair bosses as the drop pool for this boss battle, which will help you get the items you want better.

In addition to the regular drops such as gold, materials, etc., the first unique item dropped will definitely come from the boss-specific loot table you choose. Any additional unique drops have a 50% chance to come from the public drop pool. You also have a chance to get an Ancestral Unique Item from Belial’s drops.

If you are playing in a group, each other player will increase the chance of dropping an additional unique item by one third.

These are some attacks of the new boss Belial in Diablo 4 Season 8. I hope it can help you get Boss Powers or other rewards you want.

It has been almost two years since the initial release of Diablo 4. During this period, facing the expectations and criticisms of players, the game has been constantly exploring and seeking more suitable ways to improve in order to provide you with a better Diablo 4 experience.

In order to keep the game up to date and meet the needs of players as much as possible, in addition to developing more playable content, other mechanisms in the game need to be adjusted regularly, such as the battle pass system that can provide fixed rewards according to your game progress.

The performance of Diablo 4’s battle pass has always been neither good nor bad, but as the game audience continues to expand and the game mechanism is updated and upgraded, the battle pass must also be updated in a timely manner to provide you with game rewards in a more convenient and efficient way. Based on this, as Season 8 approaches, Diablo 4 recently announced a new battle pass system called Reliquaries.

Old Battle Pass System

From Season 1 to Season 7, Diablo 4 battle pass includes 90 levels, 28 of which are free levels, and the rest are included in the premium version, and there is an additional accelerated version - which can provide all the rewards of the premium version, directly skip 20 levels, and rich services including class-exclusive emotes.

As the pass levels are unlocked, you can get special items such as Smoldering Ashes through this system to unlock more rewards in other welfare systems; you can also get regular rewards such as Diablo 4 Gold, weapons or mounts.

New System Reliquaries

The new battle pass system Reliquaries is divided into two parts: one for your daily game progress, and the other is dedicated to helping you win limited rewards during special events, Event Reliquaries.

Unlike previous battle passes, which have multiple reward tiers and require you to unlock them in order, regular Reliquaries provide you with 4 Reliquaries, usually one of which is free, and the other three require platinum (Reliquaries’ exclusive currency) to unlock.

If you have played Call of Duty series, you will find that Reliquaries mechanism in Diablo 4 is a bit like Sectors. Interestingly, a few months ago, Diablo 4 developers said that the battle pass system of CoD series is very worth learning from, and it seems that they have indeed realized this idea.

It is expected that after Season 8 goes online, you can check the platinum inventory at any time in the game and decide how to use it. In addition, you need to be reminded in advance that Reliquaries of each season’s battle pass are only valid during the current season, and any unclaimed Reliquaries rewards will disappear at the end of the season, so be sure to redeem Reliquaries of that season during the corresponding season.

How To Unlock Reliquaries?

After Reliquaries are launched, their unlocking is mainly promoted by a new token called Favor Tokens. As long as you complete tasks in Diablo 4 Season 8, or kill enemies and bosses in dungeons and other areas, you can earn this token while earning gold.

The upper limit of Favor Tokens is 99, which means that if you get more tokens than this value, you must consume some to continue to earn new ones. There will be a menu in Reliquaries system that shows you how many Favor Tokens you need to get the next reward based on your real-time progress, helping you make battle arrangements.

It is worth noting that when you unlock the rewards in an entire Reliquary by earning enough tokens, you will get an additional reward, which should be different for each season. As for the unlocking of Event Reliquaries, it may be related to specific event gameplay. You will know when Berserk crossover event is officially launched!

What Reliquaries Rewards Can Season 8 Provide?

As the first season to apply Reliquaries mechanism, Season 8 Belial’s Return launched four Reliquaries, namely Belial’s Return, which has the same name as the season theme, as well as Weapons, Beasts, and Armor. The rewards they contain and the amount of Platinum required to unlock them are as follows:

Belial’s Return Reliquary-free:

• Town portal cosmetics
• Weapon cosmetics
• Horse cosmetics
• Platinum
• Gloves belonging to Guise of the Deceiver armor set (bonus reward)

Weapons Reliquary-200 Platinum:

• Weapon cosmetics for each class
• Boots belonging to Guise of the Deceiver armor set

Beasts Reliquary-500 Platinum:

• Mounts
• Mounts cosmetics
• Pet
• Legs belonging to Guise of the Deceiver armor set

Armor Reliquary-800 Platinum:

• Armor sets for each class
• Town Portal cosmetics
• The chest and helm belonging to Guise of the Deceiver armor set

Deluxe Bundle-2800 Platinum:

• Guise of the Deceiver armor set immediately unlocked for each class.
• Deceiver’s Final Form Wings for each class
• Orinocta the Owl pet
• Access to the Weapons, Beasts, and Armor Reliquaries

Each component of Guise of the Deceiver armor set is the additional reward of Reliquaries in Season 8. From the appearance, this set of armor is mainly blue and black, with two pairs of formidable horns, sharp shoulder armor and golden claws. It has the classic Diablo 4 dark aesthetics and deterrence, and it is expected that the defense value provided in actual combat should also be very good. If you are interested in it, you must work hard to unlock all Season 8 Reliquaries!

What excites you is that the arrival of the new battle pass Reliquaries is actually only part of the changes in Season 8. There is much more to look forward to in this season. I hope Season 8 can bring you a good enough experience! Thank you for reading!

Diablo 4 Season 8 will be officially released on April 29. The theme of Season 8 is Boss Powers, so we have to deal with all the bosses. Farming Bosses will become the main activity for players in the next season.

The boss system will usher in changes in Season 8. The boss system has been restructured. The endgame boss and ladder boss are grouped into a new structure called Lair Boss and divided into three difficulty levels.

Lair Boss Ladder

To challenge Lair Boss, players need to be at least in Torment I difficulty. Lair Boss Ladder is divided into three levels: Initiate, Greater, and Exalted. The higher the level, the better the loot you get after defeating the boss.

Initiate Lair Bosses

• Grigoire
• Beast in The Ice
• Varshan
• Lord Zir
• Urivar (Vessel of Hatred)

Greater Lair Bosses

• Duriel
• Andariel
• Harbinger of Hatred (Vessel of Hatred)

Exalted Lair Bosses

• Belial

How Do Lair Boss Keys Work?

In Season 8, you no longer need to collect various boss materials to challenge bosses. You can challenge them at any time. However, after you defeat them, you will find that the rewards they dropped are very scarce. That’s because you need to use keys to open specific treasure chests to get the real rewards.

The keys you need are the summons needed to summon bosses in previous seasons. If a team defeats the boss, each member needs a key to claim the reward.

If you die in the process of challenging the boss, you will not lose any materials. These materials will only be consumed after you open the box.

In the treasure chest, besides the usual unique items, gold and materials, the Initiate Boss will also drop materials needed for Greater Boss, as well as Shard of Agony or Stygian Stone.

Here are the keys needed to unlock Lair Boss chests, as well as some of the items dropped in the chest:

• Varshan: 12x Malignant Heart (Required Key), Shard of Agony or Stygian Stone (Drop)
• Grigoire: 12x Living Steel (Required Key), Shard of Agony or Stygian Stone (Drop)
• Beast in the Ice: 12x Distilled Fear (Required Key), Stygian Stone or Pincushioned Doll (Drop)
• Lord Zir: 12x Exquisite Blood (Required Key), Pincushioned Doll or Stygian Stone (Drop)
• Urivar: 12x Judicator’s Mask (Required Key), Abhorrent Heart or Stygian Stone (Drop)
• Duriel: 4x Shard of Agony (Required Key)
• Andariel: 4x Pinchioned Doll (Required Key)
• Harbinger of Hatred: 4x Abhorrent Heart (Required Key)
• Belial: 4x Betrayer’s Husk (Required Key)

Each Stygian Stone can be transformed into a Greater key, which is very useful, and each Stygian Stone is worth 150,000 Diablo 4 Gold. It is almost impossible to get Stygian Stone from other places except this way, so don’t waste it.

Materials Drop

• Malignant Heart: Dropped from Whispers Events or various Helltides Events on the map
• Living Steel: Helltides Chests
• Distilled Fear: Nightmare Dungeons
• Exquisite Blood: Dropped from Elites in Legion Events, Helltides and World Bosses
• Judicator’s Mask: Rewarded from Helltides Events, Whispers Tree and World Bosses
• Shard of Agony: Varshan or Grigoire
• Pincushioned Doll: Lord Zir or Beast in the Ice
• Abhorrent Heart: Urivar
• Betrayer’s Husk: Belial’s Ambush

Different materials will drop from different bosses. Besides farming bosses to obtain materials, you can also choose to trade with other players, or use Stygian Stone to convert them into the materials you need.

Lair Boss Loot System

Lair Boss Loot System has not changed much compared to Season 7. Boss loot pools work as follows:

• Each Lair Boss has its own loot pool, which contains both unique and mythic unique items.
• The first unique item dropped from a Lair Boss comes from that boss’s specific loot pool, and additional unique items have a 50% chance of coming from a specific loot pool or a universal unique item pool.
• When playing in a group, a boss has a 1/3 chance of dropping an additional unique item from its specific pool for each additional party member.
• Under Torment 4 World Difficulty, boss chests usually contain 5 unique items.

Belial’s Ambush

After killing a Lair Boss, there is a small chance that Belial’s Ambush will appear. The loot for defeating Belial’s Ambush is:

• Second round of loot from Lair Boss you just killed
• Betrayer’s Husk, used to summon Belial in Exalted difficulty

Killing Belial’s Ambush that comes up suddenly does not require any summoning materials to get rewards, and if you are killed by Belial’s Ambush, you will not lose anything.

Belial’s Ambush is a smaller version of Belial. Like Belial, he can also use Blood and Poison attacks, and his damage is also high. During the battle with him, use your movement speed to avoid his large-scale attacks, and use elixirs when necessary to enhance your survivability.

In Diablo Season 8, killing these Lair Bosses will not only get gold, unique items, and other rewards, but you will also unlock Boss Powers when you first kill them. After unlocking Boss Powers, you need to collect materials through Apparition Incursions to level up Boss Powers.

Please note that the drops from Belial you kill in Apparition Incursions activity differ from the drops from Belial in Lair Boss.

Based on the 2.2.0 PTR and all the relevant information so far, you can already be sure that Diablo 4 Season 8 will be launched on April 29th, and it will bring up to 24 new seasonal powers - boss powers! These powers have different levels, representing different bosses and the effects of the powers that can be used.

Although there are many boss powers to choose from, you can only equip one main power and 3 modifier powers at a time, so you need to understand the role of each power so that you can switch between different enemies in order to attack them in a targeted manner. So below we will list the benefits of each of the 24 boss powers for you.

Boss Power Overview

The 24 powers are divided into 10 magic powers, 9 rare powers and 5 legendary powers according to their rarity, and each one comes with a main power and a modifier power. The role of the main power is to enhance your class ability, and the role of the modifier power is to further enhance the main boss power you have equipped.

After equipping these powers, you can use them in battle to earn Diablo 4 Gold, and continue to upgrade these powers to level 20 by farming Spectral Ash. It is worth noting that magic boss powers and rare boss powers can be obtained at any difficulty, while legendary boss powers require you to defeat the corresponding lair boss on Torment 1 or higher.

What Do All Boss Powers Do?

In order to fully understand what effect all boss powers can have in battle, we will introduce their main powers and modifier powers one by one according to their categories.

1. Legendary Powers

This type of power is the most difficult to obtain and can only be obtained after the first kill of the top five Diablo 4 bosses on Torment difficulty. They are Andariel, Belial, Duriel, Harbinger of Hatred, and Lilith.

• Andariel’s Flaming Skull: Summons a flame-breathing skeleton to damage enemies / increase the continuous damage of burning, and all your other attacks within 5 seconds will burn enemies within 3 seconds.
• Belial’s Eye Beams: Drink a healing potion to gain 75% damage reduction, summon eye beams to deal corrosive damage to enemies / gain invisibility, and deal more damage.
• Duriel’s Burrow: Paralyze and damage enemies by burrowing underground / increase your dodge chance.
• Harbinger of Hatred’s Volley: Deal more damage to vulnerable enemies in a variety of ways / make surrounding enemies vulnerable by consuming resources.
• Lilith’s Wind of Hate: Deal with more physical damage to enemies when releasing skills / kill more elite enemies by creating inert Blister Clone.

2. Rare Powers

The bosses corresponding to rare powers are initiate lair bosses, Belial’s lesser form, and world bosses. The first two need to be killed in Torment difficulty, and the latter can be defeated at any difficulty.

• Beast In The Ice’s Sleet: Cast 3 skills with control or stun effects to shoot hail spikes, dealing cold damage to enemies / increasing the effect of freezing damage.
• Belial’s Crystal Decoy: Create exploding crystals to deal shadow damage / cause fear and shadow damage to enemies.
• Varshan’s Life Steal: Losing life can cause corrosion damage to enemies / cause enemies to take more corrosion damage over 2 seconds.
• Grigoire’s Lightning Square: Deal lightning damage to enemies when casting core skills / stun enemies.
• Lord Zir’s Blood Pool: Damage enemies and create blood pools to deal more damage / provide healing over 3 seconds.
• Urivar’s Lobbed Bombs: Throw bombs after casting ultimate skills / reduce ultimate skill cooldown.
• Ashava’s Poison Breath: Hitting enemies taking continuous damage will produce harmful acid / cause more poison damage to enemies over 3 seconds.
• Avarice’s Explosive Ore: Generates explosive ore that damages enemies / increases damage output.
• Wandering Death’s Chest Beam: Generates a beam that causes frostbite damage when channeling skills / instantly kills non-boss enemies with less than 35% health.

3. Magic Powers

This part of power can be obtained by killing 10 new Apparition bosses in the seasonal event Apparition Incursions.

• Allek’s Talons: When casting basic skills, you can deal 200% spark damage to the enemies / the more movement speed is increased, the faster the skill cools down.
• Beastmaster’s Training: Taunt enemies with summons or mercenaries to gain damage reduction / increase your movement speed and the damage caused by summons.
• Blackmailer’s Sabotage: When casting core skills with barrier, you can knock down close enemies for 1.1 seconds / gain 20% barrier effect while gaining amplification.
• Flesh Reaper’s Disruption: Damages a fragile enemy, then stuns them and surrounding enemies for 0.5 seconds / increases your control duration by granting you vulnerability for increased damage output.
• Hatred’s Embrace’s Haste: Increases your movement speed by 1.1% when casting a Shadow or Fire skill / gives critical chance first, then increases critical chance for every 1% increase in Shadow resistance.
• Kirma’s Sparks: Deals 200% more spark damage to close enemies while dodging / reduces your dodge cooldown.
• Outlaw Sharpshooter’s Eye: Dealing direct damage to a ranged enemy slows them and surrounding enemies / farther the enemy is from you, the more damage you deal to them.
• Sinerat’s Flames: Using a mobile skill burns close enemies / increased damage to all elements.
• Skerg’s Toxins: When an enemy deals continuous damage to you, you can deal poison damage to them within 4 seconds / when you are damaged by a continuous damage effect, you have a 5% chance to be healed.
• Torusk’s Rage: Increases your damage, attack speed, and movement speed while strengthening the enemy / the more damage you deal with the enemy, the faster your movement speed becomes.

After our introduction, you should have a deeper understanding of all Season 8 boss powers. I hope that after Season 8 goes online, you can master these powers faster with the help we provide!

In the exploration of Diablo 4, some Uniques are universal to all classes, but some are designed specifically for a specific class, such as Vox Omnium, which is a staff designed specifically for Sorcerer class and added to the game in Season 5.

After several seasons of changes and updates, the basic statistical attributes of this Unique Staff have become less impressive, but its unique effects still make it a good choice for those who want a Sorcerer build that focuses on elemental damage and promotes skill synergy.

If you are looking for a weapon that allows you to deal powerful elemental damage effects, then this guide provides a method to obtain Vox Omnium that you may need very much. In addition, the specific statistical attributes and effects of this staff will also be introduced here for you.

How To Get Vox Omnium?

As one of the very hard-to-get Uniques in D4, Vox Omnium can only be obtained through Spoils of Greater Equipment Chests in Infernal Hordes, which is one of the rewards you get after running this event.

Before you can visit Infernal Hordes, however, you must complete The Eyes of the Enemy quest line and use the awarded Infernal Compass to open a portal to this event. Just like when you challenge Ladder Boss, the higher the tier of Infernal Hordes you run, the higher the chance of getting Vox Omnium.

Here you need to be reminded that Infernal Compass, as the key to open Infernal Hordes, will automatically disappear after you die in it, and you can only use another one to run it again. You will find this important Infernal Compass in Helltide chests, Tree of Whisper caches, The Pit, and Nightmare Dungeons.

After you successfully run Infernal Hordes, you will be rewarded with a certain amount of Burning Aether, which is the currency used to open Spoils of Hell. There are three types of chests to choose from: Equipment, Materials, and Gold.

Spoils of Greater Equipment with Vox Omnium cost you 200 Burning Aether to open, and are guaranteed to drop an Ancestral Legendary. The Materials Chest requires you to turn in all your Aether in order to receive Obducite and gem fragments. If you have extra Aether, you can exchange it for some D4 Gold, which will be very helpful for your subsequent exploration.

Unfortunately, there is no specific boss or enemy that is guaranteed to drop Vox Omnium Unique Staff, so Infernal Hordes may be your best way to farm this powerful weapon. If you’re lucky, you can even trade this Diablo 4 item with other players. This saves a lot of effort, but it comes at a high cost.

Stats And Effect Of Vox Omnium Unique Staff

The basic stats of Unique Staff are not impressive, such as 16% increase in Lucky Hit Chance and 2-4 basic skill levels, which can be obtained through other gear. What may be of interest to you is the increase in Intelligence by 198-270, which will improve the damage output and resource generation of the entire build, which is very beneficial for you to efficiently farm Diablo 4 Gold and other loot in some profitable activities.

The increase in core attack skill speed by 26%-35% and the increase in non-physical damage by 114%-150% are probably the two most useful buffs in Vox Omnium, which will give your Sorcerer a higher combat advantage when facing enemies or bosses with specified resistance and high mobility.

Next, Vox Omnium’s Unique effect may make you shine: when you cast a core skill in your build, it will help you trigger two additional arrows (Fire Bolt, Frost Bolt, or Spark) that deal 30%-90% more damage, depending on the last two non-core elements you used.

Best Build To Use Vox Omnium In Season 7

Based on the above, in the current S7 you can put Vox Omnium in builds that need to rotate between non-core skills and core skills frequently, such as Chain Lightning Sorcerer build, which will make it most effective and become the most powerful helper to maximize the elemental damage output in this build.

Chain Lightning Sorcerer builds are very good at providing high burst damage and quickly clearing groups of enemies in combat with the help of Vox Omnium. However, this build is very difficult to master and operate, which requires you to have very precise execution and combat awareness.

Not only that, this build relies heavily on flexibility, and once it encounters some attacks that require quick avoidance, this build will suffer an immense blow. On top of that, its survivability is poor, and if you don’t use a lot of D4 Gold to stack defensive abilities, combat in endgame content may become a huge challenge.

But Chain Lightning Sorcerer build’s powerful damage capabilities may make you work hard to overcome these shortcomings, such as choosing a correct skill rotation for it. To maximize the effectiveness of Vox Omnium, you can use Raiment to teleport first in combat to scatter enemies.

At the same time, you need to activate Ice Armor to keep yourself safe. Then cast Flame Shield and Hydra in sequence to trigger the dual fire arrows in Vox Omnium. If you need additional burning damage, you can fire Fireball at the enemy to cause a large explosion, but remember to apply Firewall before casting.

If you are facing an enemy with damage reduction attributes, defeat them first, otherwise they will prolong your combat cycle to two rotations or more. In addition, after each skill that cannot cause fire damage, such as teleport, dodge, or ice armor, follow up with a Hydra or Flame Shield to ensure that your Vox Omnium can fire two fire arrows.

The above is how to obtain Vox Omnium Unique in Diablo 4 Season 7 and its specific effectiveness. I hope you can use this important weapon to enhance the synergy between the skills in your Sorcerer build and use the extremely high elemental damage and attack speed to complete all game content and challenges. I wish you a happy game!

It’s the end of March 2025, where is your progress in Diablo 4 Season 7? If your progress is slow and it’s not because you haven’t invested time in it, then it’s likely because you haven’t found a build that can make your character strong enough through rapid upgrades, especially if your character’s class is Barbarian!

As one of the old classes in Diablo 4, Barbarian naturally has its own strengths, that is, the overall attack power is relatively strong, but in order to balance this, most of the abilities of Barbarian class are designed to be slow, so if you are a Barbarian player, it’s normal for you to upgrade more slowly.

In response to this, we will introduce you to a Barbarian build crafting method that can quickly upgrade in Season of Witchcraft, and it can be expected that it will also be of reference in subsequent seasons.

Overall Introduction

This Barbarian Leveling Build is a variation of Bleed Thorns Barbarian build, which is mainly designed to help you level up quickly so that you can enter the endgame as soon as possible, so it is more suitable for clearing large-scale regular enemies rather than single bosses - the combat efficiency will be significantly reduced when dealing with the latter.

In addition, although this build does not require any unique skills to work, the addition of some suitable legendary aspects and weapons can make it better. And if you can further strengthen these legendary aspects and weapons by consuming Diablo 4 Gold, it may be enough to make this build to defeat some low-difficulty bosses.

Best Active Skills

Since this build has a certain similarity with Bleed Thorns Barbarian build, Combat Flay and Challenging Shout are essential. When the former is at maximum stack and the latter is active, you will be able to get extra thorns.

Additionally, to ensure you can effectively fight regular enemies, use Rend and Rupture to clear while keeping Combat Flay stacked, and pop Rallying Cry when under crowd control; and if you encounter a large elite enemy or boss, be sure to pop Wrath of the Berserker before fighting.

• Flay-Combat Flay
• Rend-Furious Rend
• Challenging Shout-Strategic Challenging Shout
• Rallying Cry-Strategic Rallying Cry
• Rupture-Fighter’s Rupture
• Wrath of the Berserker-Ultimate Wrath of the Berserker

Best Passive Skills

First, Burst and Tough as Nails can significantly increase the amount of Thorns you gain when you get enough max health to benefit from Burst. As for the rest of the passive skill choices, it is recommended that you focus on adding skills that can improve your offense, defense, and quality of life.

• Endless Fury
• Imposing Presence
• Belligerence
• Outburst
• Tough as Nails
• Swiftness
• Thick Skin (1/3)
• Defensive Stance
• Counteroffensive
• Pit Fighter
• No Mercy
• Heavy Handed
• Gushing Wounds

Since you need to deal a lot of bleeding damage to your enemies during combat, Gushing Wounds is a keystone passive skill because it makes the bleeding effect scale with the critical hit attribute and allows you to use items with critical hit chance and critical hit damage. But if you don’t care about the critical hit attribute, changing Gushing Wounds to Barbed Carapace is also a good choice.

Available Seasonal Powers

Since we are in Season of Witchcraft, we should make full use of the witchcraft power it provides, right?! With 25 witchcraft powers available in the game, we’ve picked out the best ones for Season 7 Barbarian Leveling Build:

• Aura of Siphoning
• Shaken Soul
• Aura of Misfortune
• Hex of Whispers
• Soul Harvest
• Vengeful Spirit Savant

In addition, another special item added this season, Occult Gems, can actually help Barbarian Leveling Build a lot. They can be crafted by the witch Gelena at Tree of Whispers. Two gems suitable for this build are:

• Cornucopia: Gives you 30% more thorns, life, and reinforcement.
• Friend of the Bog: Gives you the main core attribute, maximum life, and unhindered effect.

Best Legendary Aspects & Gear

To improve Season 7 Barbarian Leveling Build by increasing thorns and bleeding damage, you must farm legendary aspects and gear with these effects. Although this process may take a long time, the results are worth it, so if you can, it is recommended that you prioritize the following aspects:

• Aspect Of Might-Helmet
• Aspect Of Disobedience-Chest Armor
• Aspect of Anger Management-Gloves
• Undying Aspect-Pants
• Craven Aspect-Boots
• Aspect of Inevitable Fate-Amulet
• Aspect Of The Umbral-Ring 1
• Aspect Of Berserk Fury-Ring 2
• Needleflare Aspect-2H Bludgeoning
• Death Wish Aspect-2H Slashing
• Aspect Of Burning Rage-1H Weapon 1
• Vehement Brawler’s Aspect-1H Weapon 2

It is worth noting that when you use this build in Season 7 after obtaining the above legendary aspects, their synergy with the witchcraft powers will allow you to always gain the following effect bonuses in combat:

• You are always Berserking.
• You are always Fortified.
• You always have boosted movement speed.
• Enemies are always vulnerable.

Best Paragon Boards & Glyphs

In order to ensure that Barbarian Leveling Build can continue to play a role in your Season 7 upgrade journey, it is also important to continue to match the build with the right Paragon boards and glyphs after your character reaches the level cap, because these rewards can bring good attribute improvements:

• Starting-Ire-Tenacity, Raw Might
• Hemorrhage-Territorial-Hemorrhage, Flayer
• Carnage-Disembowel-Carnage, Recuperate, Berserker

If you can follow the above guide that we provide to craft Season 7 Barbarian Leveling Build, I believe you can definitely let your character complete the upgrade as soon as possible, to explore more season content!
