In various MMORPGs, such as Diablo 4 series, combat is undoubtedly one of the most important parts of the entire game. Whether it is to advance the main storyline or collect game materials, corresponding combat is an indispensable part.

Therefore, players will always try various ways to improve combat efficiency, to obtain as many game rewards or combat drops as possible, such as Diablo 4 Gold, or some unique items and rare equipment. Among all the methods, using effective builds is undoubtedly a more important one.

In Diablo 4 DLC Vessel of Hatred, the game maker launched a new Class Spiritborn, and what followed was the research and development of builds related to this class by the majority of players. One of Spiritborn Builds that has been more popular with players recently is Rock Splitter Thorns Spiritborn Build that we will introduce to you this time.

Based on this, we will introduce you to the use of this build from multiple aspects.

Rock Splitter Thorns Build Introduction

As a new class in the expansion, one of the main mechanics of Spiritborn combat is Resolve. It is based on this mechanic that some effective Spiritborn Builds were born, such as Rock Splitter Thorns Build.

This type of build mainly outputs powerful AOE damage by providing players with damage bonus from Thorns. Specifically, Rock Splitter Thorns Build will enable players to output 100% Thorns damage when hitting enemies through Rock Splitter’s acceleration skill, which is why this build is currently one of the best offensive Thorns builds in the game.

If the player uses this build as a Spiritborn, most types of enemies can be cleared in combat with little resource management, and it also has high defense capabilities. In addition, this build will attract enemies through Binding Morass and the interaction between LithWat and XolKry Runewords, to catch them all in one swoop and get more Diablo 4 Gold drops at one time.

In order to deal more damage, we recommend that players use the ultimate ability of this build whenever the boss or elite enemy reaches the damage threshold, and use Toxic Skin on cooldown to ensure that the uptime of build’s Thorns passive can be maintained for the longest time and output damage as long as possible.

Rock Splitter Thorns Build’s Ability Point Distribution

For Diablo 4 Builds, you can get various attribute enhancements by unlocking and allocating ability points in the skill tree mechanism. Therefore, if the allocation is appropriate, the build you use may get a surprising evolution.

For Rock Splitter Thorns Build, the allocation of ability points is mainly concentrated on basic skills, defensive skills, and some passive skills. Here are some suggestions for point allocation for this build:

Basic Node

Since Rock Splitter is the first and most important skill of this build, it is best to choose it first for ability point arrangement. However, you don’t need to unlock all the points it requires, because the specific value of the additional thorn damage it provides on the third attack has nothing to do with the number of points:

• Rock Splitter (1/5): Enhanced Rock Splitter, Accelerated Rock Splitter

Focus Node

In this part of the node, there are many active skills that require players to allocate a dizzying number of points:

• Toxic Skin (1/5): Enhanced Toxic Skin, Replenishing Toxic Skin
• Mirage (3/3)
• Unrestrained Power (3/3)
• Focal Point (1/3)
• Diminishment (3/3)
• Apex (3/3)

Defensive Node

In terms of the defensive node, this build requires most of the abilities to be allocated and unlocked. In fact, you need to use all the defensive skills that Spiritborn can use for this build.

• Armored Hide (5/5): Enhanced Armored Hide, Reinforced Armored Hide
• Counterattack (1/5): Enhanced Counterattack, Adaptable Counterattack
• Scourge (1/5): Enhanced Scourge, Adaptable Scourge
• Endurance (1/3)
• Perserverance (3/3)
• Patient Guard (3/3)
• Auspicious (2/3)
• Bastion (3/3)

Spirit Hall Choices Of Rock Splitter Thorns Build

If you are a Spiritborn player, or if you know this class, you will know that the choice you make in Spirit Hall will affect the benefits that Spiritborn Class will receive in the subsequent battles.

Rock Splitter Thorns Build puts Gorilla in the first Spirit Hall slot, which can gain additional Thorn damage and defensive barrier. Additionally, Gorilla will cause all skills of other Spirits used by the build to become Gorilla skills as well, thus activating Gorilla’s unique passive skills.

In the second Spirit Hall slot, Rock Splitter Thorns Build is best to choose Gorilla again. This can further improve the build’s defensive properties and make the build unstoppable, giving it a near-infinite run time.

Related Gear

While this build definitely has BiS items, the build has relatively low requirements in terms of related gear before it can be up and running. These requirements are mainly the unique staff Sepazontec and Runewords LithWat and XolKry. While Runewords are not technically a piece of gear, they can help the build output more damage. Besides these, players can also get some help by obtaining and holding Loyalty’s Mantle and Razorplate.

These are some of the key points for using Rock Splitter Thorns Spiritborn Build in DLC. Hopefully, this content will help you better master and use this build and better experience of Class Spiritborn.

Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred expansion brings us plenty of new channels to get to farm loots in the endgame, such as newly introduced dungeons like Kurast Undercity.

It is undoubtably that taking part in fun activities and taking on powerful bosses does grant us powerful gear and loots. But when it comes to being the most profitable way to acquire those high-level loots, Pit of Artificers dungeon deserves the spot.

Or if you are desperate for one specific gear that is suitable for your build, then it is recommended to spend Diablo 4 Gold to make a trade directly.

If you’re a returning player and feel confused about grinding for Legendary loot and overwhelming affixes, then Pit of Artificers serves as the best option to perform infinite grinding.

Let’s take a closer look at the way of how Pit of Artificers works in the game to help you earn more high-level gear in the game.

Pit Of Artificers Details

The mechanism of Pit of Artificers is introduced in Season 4: Loot Reborn, which is counted as one of the best channels to get Legendary loots and level up quickly.

To find Pit of Artificers, you are required to head to Cerrigar, Scosglen and search west of the waypoint for Pit of Artificers Obelisk.

After unlocking Obelisk, you’ll be leading to a Level 46+ Nightmare Dungeon where promises you the resources called Runeshards once you have successfully completed the requirements in this dungeon. Runeshards serve as the necessity to complete runs of Pit of Artificers and you can earn through a variety of activities.

Of course, as a true endgame activity, only players at the highest level are eligible to access to Pit of Artificers. That means you need to reach the highest World Tier.

To unlock Pit of Artificers, you are required to reach World Tier 4 to meet its demands.

As the mechanism of World Tier in the game, World Tier 2 is open to all players and offers you a chance to visit a Capstone Dungeon at Level 50+. After successfully completing the quests and challenges of that dungeon, you will be promoted to World Tier 3, where you are available to access to a second Capstone Dungeon. After completing the corresponding tasks, you can unlock World Tier 4.

World Tier can be switched as you switch your class or use a World Tier Statue.

How To Collect Runeshards?

As mentioned earlier, Runeshards are a necessary resource for accomplishing runs of Pit of Artificers, which grants you the right to enter dungeons at Artificer’s Obelisk. And you are available to acquire them through these channels below:

• Nightmare Dungeons
• Legion Events
• Helltide Events
• Tree of Whispers / Grim Favors

After equipping enough Runeshards, head to Artificer’s Obelisk and make a trade with them to enter Pit.

How Does Pit Of Artificers Work?

As a World Tier 4 dungeon, Pit of Artificers dungeon is the best channel to collect high-level loot, or upgrade the equipment level to the highest level. Especially for high-level ultimate players, this dungeon must not be missed.

After entering the randomly generated dungeon, the player will be given 15 minutes to defeat enemies and summon the boss, and then the boss will appear and fight. Defeating the boss will complete the dungeon.

It is also important to note that the faster you defeat the boss, the higher Pit level you can unlock. The faster you complete the dungeon, the more levels you can unlock.

Pit Of Artificers dungeon is divided into more than 60 difficulty levels, but this does not mean that you must pursue the highest level.

Pit Of Artificers For Farming Legendary Gear

To claim Legendary loot, you are required to upgrade step by step in Pit of Artificers until you have reached Tormented 1, which will grant you the best loot.

Keep farming Tormented 1 until you satisfy the advantage to safely complete this level and higher in 2-3 minutes. In this process, you will enjoy collecting more loot along the way.

As you unlock higher levels of Tormented difficulty, Legendary items you get become rarer, but you must complete certain levels of Pit to unlock higher Tormented difficulties:

• Torment I: Complete Level 20
• Torment II: Complete Level 35
• Torment III: Complete Level 50
• Torment IV: Complete Level 65

Pit Of Artificers Rewards

In addition to randomly rewarding players with higher-level Legendary gear, Pit of Artificers also offer you Murmuring Obols.

Moreover, Pit of Artificers also serves as the channel to level up your Paragon Glyphs to the next stage. For each completed run, you will be rewarded with 3 chance to enhance a glyph. If you do not die during the entire run, there will be a fourth chance for you.

Of course, if you find it difficult, you can also get Legendary gear through other channels. Just choose the method that suits you.

The above is about the main channel for obtaining Legendary gear - Pit of Artificers. Please do not miss this lucrative dungeon activity. Thanks for reading.

Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred expansion has introduced several new Uniques for its new class - Spiritborn. The two most suitable Uniques for Spiritborn are Loyalty’s Mantle and Ring Of The Midnight Sun. With those two Uniques being equipped, you can add the icing on the cake to some of the most powerful Spiritborn builds.

Players are required to meet the basic requirements of Unique gear drop to claim these two overwhelming gears.

Keep reading to get the deep known of what the drop demands of Uniques are, the way to farm it, along with the builds that can achieve a better combination with them.

How To Get Loyalty’s Mantle?

Loyalty’s Mantle, a Unique Headpiece, is one of the Uniques specifically designed for Spiritborn and has always been widely regarded as the most suitable and indispensable. If you are confused with which Uniques should be equipped with to enhance their builds and dominate the endgame in Vessel of Hatred expansion, many players have already given their answer as they are all searching for Loyalty’s Mantle.

Similar to most of Uniques, Loyalty’s Mantle can be found in many places with different drop rates. But the most effective and direct way to get it is through target-farming a specific boss - Grigoire, the Galvanic Saint, who share much higher drop rate than goblins or chests in Overworld.

In addition to killing enemies and opening treasure chests in the open world, especially in some world activities such as Gathering Legions and Nightmare Dungeons, players can also claim Loyalty’s Mantle from Purveyor of Curiosity. Your Murmuring Obols can be traded for helpful gears. However, you can’t pick specific objects, which means that the rarity of the equipment you can obtain is ranging from Magic to Mythic Unique items. So take your own risk.

If you decide to claim this Unique by participating in challengeable events, then it is recommended to farm as many Cinders as possible to open chests and pay attention to those active Helltide activities.

Loyalty’s Mantle Headpiece offers original stats, movement speed, damage reduction, and up to 3 levels of Velocity and significantly buffed Spirit Hall boons. To exert the function of Loyalty’s Mantle to maximum, please make sure both of your Spirit Hall slots have the identical animal spirit.

Here lies the basic affixes of this powerful Headpiece:

• [+27-65] to all Stats
• [+8.0-12.5%] Movement Speed
• [6.0–10.0%] Damage Reduction
• [1-3] Ranks of Velocity

When the animal spirits in your Spirit Hall are same, then it promises that skills of their base spirit get [60-100%] Vigor cost reduction and Cooldown Reduction.

Which Build Use Loyalty’s Mantle?

The most effective way to leverage the utility of Loyalty’s Mantle into the mechanics is with Rake Thorns Spiritborn Build, which relies heavily on using Spirit of Jungle (Gorilla) in both Spirit Hall slots for survivability.

How To Get Ring Of The Midnight Sun Uniques?

To claim Ring Of The Midnight Sun, you are needed to meet the standard lies below:

• Reach Level 60
• Unlock and enter Torment 1 Difficulty

Once you meet the above requirements, you can claim Unique items in most in-game activities. In particular, in certain endgame activities, such as clearing Infernal Hordes, Nightmare Dungeons, slaying World Bosses, and opening Helltide Chests of Mystery, the chance of a drop will be higher. Not only that, these activities also reward you with rare materials, XP, as well as Diablo 4 Gold.

How To Farm Ring Of The Midnight Sun?

If you want to get Ring Of The Midnight Sun as quickly as possible and don’t care about other stacking rewards, it is recommended to fight Galvanic bosses directly. Lair Bosses are typically sharing high drop rate of Unique items, and this boss is the only one offering Ring of the Midnight Sun on its loot list.

Tormented Lair Bosses share the basically identical Unique drop rate as their Standard counterparts, so it is not recommended to use extra materials to fight Tormented bosses. However, the drop rate is proportional to the difficulty, so it is best to try something challenging.

Effects Of Ring Of The Midnight Sun

As a unique ring for Spiritborn class, Ring Of The Midnight Sun has unique modifiers which are aimed at greatly improving the player’s abilities. It provides a significant enhancement to elemental resistance, damage to enemies, attack speed, and Critical Strike damage.

• + [37.5]% Fire Resistance
• + [37.5]% Lightning Resistance
• + [107 - 121] Dexterity
• + [8.1 - 8.8]% Cooldown Reduction
• + [40.0 - 50.0]% Critical Strike Damage
• + [2 - 3] to Mirage (Spiritborn Only)

Which Builds Use Ring Of The Midnight Sun?

Here lies the conclusion of several endgame builds which feature Ring of the Midnight Sun as their best addition:

• Evade Eagle Spiritborn
• Quill Volley Spiritborn
• Payback Gorilla Spiritborn
• Crushing Hand Gorilla Spiritborn
• Touch of Death Spiritborn

The ranks of Mirage that Ring Of The Midnight Sun grants offer Defensive stats and Vigor Regeneration on Critical Strike for Spiritborn. Most of the builds that feature this ring are available to regenerate major resources.

The above is the sharing of two Uniques that are most suitable for Spiritborn. Thanks for reading.

When Diablo 4 entered Season 6, Rogue once again captured the hearts of many players with its agility and high damage ability and became one of the most commonly used classes in the current season. Among all Rogue builds, the first thing we need to pay attention to is Critical Strike, because its power is an important guarantee that allows you to explore easily.

In Rogue builds, you can choose Skyhunter, a Unique Bow, to help you enhance this attribute, especially when you choose a build that focuses on Rapid Fire or Penetrating Shot. But this Unique is not so easy to get, so this guide will introduce its farming method and its specific effects to you, so that you can get it as soon as possible and equip it to your build during the exploration process.

Farming Methods

Skyhunter as a Unique can be found in the loot of all Ladder Bosses and Uber Bosses, but the best choice is Tormented Varshan and Tormented Lord Zir. Both bosses require you to use some summoning materials to summon them in a specific place, so you may need to prepare some Diablo 4 Items before farming.

Tormented Varshan

Let’s introduce Tormented Varshan first. You can find the altar to summon it in Malignant Burrow in any Torment difficulties. This location is easy to find, right in front of Tree of Whispers, you can use it as a landmark.

After you enter Malignant Burrow, you can place 4 Malignant Hearts on the altar, and Tormented Varshan will appear to fight you. Here we need to remind you that you need to try to get behind the boss before attacking, because its frontal attack will cause you unpredictable damage.

Or you can use some Diablo 4 Gold to get Elixir of Shadow Resistance II to increase your resistance to ensure that you can complete the battle safely, provided that you do not reach 70% Shadow Resistance cap. After the battle, you can look for Skyhunter in the loot it provides you. If not, you can grind it multiple times or change a boss.

Tormented Lord Zir

This boss appears in Darkened Way of all Torment difficulties. The entrance to this dungeon is east of Kyovashad, the capital of Fractured Peaks. You need to place 12 Exquisite Blood on the altar to summon Tormented Lord Zir.

Like Tormented Varshan, you need to try to get behind him during the battle, but he will raise his arms to indicate that he is about to attack you with super powerful attacks. When Tormented Lord Zir’s health drops to 70%, he will summon an Elite Bloodseeker, and your focus in this battle should be on him.

When the health drops to 50%, it will spawn some blood globes in the arena, which you need to avoid in time to avoid bleeding damage. When the health is only 30%, it will fall and spawn a linear void area, which will spray scattered blood drops, which you should also avoid in time.

In the end, you may also find Skyhunter among its drops. Of course, you may have to go through multiple trials with Tormented Lord Zir before you can get it.

Besides defeating these Tormented Bosses, you can also find Skyhunter as rewards for participating in Gathering Legions, defeating World Bosses, and running Nightmare Dungeons, but the drop rate of these rewards is very low and may cost you a lot of time and Diablo 4 Gold.

Compared to World Events, Helltide Events and Whisper Caches have a slightly higher chance of Skyhunter appearing. If you think you have good luck, you can also gamble with Murmuring Obols in Purveyor of Curiosity, but it should be noted that this is a risky method and is not highly recommended.

Skyhunter’s Effects

First of all, it should be noted that Skyhunter is a Unique that requires your character to be World Tier 3 or above before it can be equipped. First of all, it can increase your build’s very important Critical Strike Damage by 170%, which will make your fights easier.

And your attack speed will increase by 14%-18%, which further consolidates the flexibility of Rogue Class, and Stutter Step will also increase by 1-2 levels. The chance of Rogue casting Marksman Projectiles twice has also been enhanced, increasing it by 27%-45%. This increases the damage that Rogue builds can cause to enemies continuously.

These effects apply not only to single targets but also groups of enemies, so this Skyhunter can be placed in many Rogue builds. If you combine it with Mythic Uniques such as Andariel’s Visage or Tyrael’s Might, you can even complete the most difficult endgame stages in the game or run strenuous activities such as The Pit.

The above are some farming methods and specific effects for obtaining Skyhunter, which is very important for Rogue, in Diablo 4 Season 6. I hope this guide can make it easy for you to obtain this Unique Bow, and it can play the greatest role in your construction. I wish you a happy game!

For many gamers, participating in various interesting in-game activities is undoubtedly worth looking forward to. Because this can not only bring them a lot of game rewards but also feel a variety of different game atmospheres.

Different activities usually have different corresponding themes, among which various festivals are obviously a theme category worth looking forward to. Halloween, as the most supernatural festival of the year, is a perfect match with the overall style of many games.

Since its release, Diablo 4 series of games has been famous for its grotesque gothic aesthetic style. Therefore, when Diablo 4 DLC combines Halloween elements to launch related game activities, it immediately aroused the attention and expectations of many players.

Therefore, whether you want to accumulate Diablo 4 Gold through new activities, or just want to feel Halloween atmosphere, just participate in it. Based on this, we will provide some suggestions for players who want to experience this macabre celebration in the game.

Macabre Celebration Halloween Event Overview

This Diablo 4 DLC Halloween event officially began at 10 am Pacific Time on October 29 and will last until November 5. During these 7 days, you can enjoy various Halloween-themed activities in Macabre Celebration!

All participating players can also receive a series of limited-time free store items as special event rewards. And during the event, the game provides Butcher-exclusive “Meat or Treat” Dungeon Shrine modifier as a special event mechanism. I believe that players who participate in this mechanism will definitely have a fun Halloween experience.

What Can Players Get In Halloween Event?

Among all the prizes provided by Diablo 4 DLC Halloween event, the most attractive ones are undoubtedly those free rewards that can be obtained without using time and energy. This means that players only need to log in to the game every day during the event to get free store items.

Free Decorative Items

Specifically, starting from October 29, the in-game store provides players with a new free Halloween decoration every day as an event prize. Each accessory reflects the rich Halloween characteristics and Diablo 4 game style through its unique design.

However, it is worth noting that although Macabre Celebration will last until November 5, the free accessories will be available on November 1.

Other Free Rewards

Besides these free appearance decorations, Macabre Celebration also provides players with one other free item reward every day from October 29 to November 1. They are: Recluse’s Host Mount, Ichor Flame Torch Mount Trophy, Recluse’s Flask Mount Trophy, Reclusive Trappings Mount Armor.

As a unique mount, Recluse’s Host Mount is an overall appearance of a uniquely designed zombie horse. The designer portrayed it with rotten flesh and empty eye sockets, making it perfectly fit the horror atmosphere of Halloween, and also allowing players to immerse themselves in Halloween of Diablo 4 when using it to shuttle through the map.

As for Ichor Flame Torch Mount Trophy, it is a creative prop. It looks like an enormous spider with a burning flame on one side of its body. If you hold it in the game, it will make you look more mysterious and powerful.

Reclusive Trappings Mount Armor reward provided by the event on November 1st is a piece of armor designed specifically for Recluse’s Host Mount. The entire armor is covered with dense spider webs, which make Recluse’s Host Mount look more terrifying while also enhancing its defensive capabilities.

In addition, if you don’t have time to log in to the game for free during the event, you can choose to log in after all the rewards are available and then claim all the rewards at once.

As long as you log in once between November 1st and November 5th, you can claim all the rewards provided by the event. But don’t forget the end time of the event! Be sure to log in to the game before then!

About Meat Or Treat Dungeon Shrine Modifier

The essence of this new mechanism launched with Halloween event lies in its influence on Dungeon shrine. When players activate any Dungeon Shrine during the event, it is possible to trigger related special effects.

Once activated, Dungeon Shrine will present holiday special effects that differ from usual. It may also bring players extra loot, enhanced attributes or other event rewards.

However, although these rewards are tempting, obtaining them may also be accompanied by certain risks and challenges. Therefore, players need to be prepared and deal with them carefully.

At present, this Halloween event does not include many substantial content updates or add any large-scale battle modes, but it is not bad to get some festive rewards for free during the festival.

In addition, for Meat or Treat Dungeon Shrine modifier, the game maker has been keeping it mysterious before the official start of the event, and has not clearly told players what specific content will appear after activating Dungeon Shrine. Therefore, players can only know what kind of surprises Meat or Treat contains after experiencing the relevant mechanisms in person.

The above are some suggestions and tips for participating in this Halloween event in Diablo 4 DLC. We hope you can have a happy Halloween at the game!

The certain contents in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred expansion have invited divisive argument among players for different reasons, such as Dark Citadel raid, story campaign and its epilogue.

But it is undeniable that Spiritborn, the sixth class in the game, seems to be generally well received. Because it allows for the element of mixing and customization, and combines with different play styles and guardian Spirits. Therefore, Spiritborn is more refined and well-rounded than the five preliminary classes in the base game.

The problem facing Spiritborn, however, is that it is easy for players to compare it with Druid, for better or for worse.

Spiritborn And Druid Class

Spiritborn serves as the guardian of Spirit Realm and Nahantu and share quite a lot of similarities with Diablo 3 Monk, the inspiration sources of Spiritborn. So Spiritborn is essentially a martial artist. The skills that he is equipped with are more suited to close combat, though his most powerful skill comes to Quill Volley, a ranged skill from Eagle line.

Druid, on the other hand, is the ultimate protector of nature who is inclined to cast spells and transform its form.

But the comparison makes sense, even though on the surface Spiritborn and Druid share nothing alike. The comparison certainly raises the question that whether the class is outdated.

The most positive consequence of the comparison is deeper thinking and discussion about class design, which can lead to more reasonable and comprehensive characters.

Spirits And Nature Of Spiritborn And Druid

The most obvious similarity between Spiritborn and Druid is that both of them have their animal spirit, which help determine what achievements they can acquire in the aspect of gameplay.

Spiritborn class is available to choose its primary and secondary guardians between four original spirits in Spirit Hall screen, and they are Jaguar, Gorilla, Eagle, and Centipede, respectively.

They all have different emphases in terms of skills and strengths. Jaguar centers on Ferocity and multi-attack skills, Gorilla focuses on Resolve and Barriers skills, Eagle gives much emphasis on Evade-based skills and projectile attacks, and Centipede pays much attention to enhance damage significantly over time via Poison.

These four spirits share unique merits and associated builds. But compared with Druid’s Spirit Boons, the advantages of these spirits are very obvious, because Druid’s Spirit Boons are not qualified to affect game choices or how Druid works.

For Spiritborn, the combination of unique spirits generates unique play styles and builds. In terms of the degree of customization, Spiritborn’s spirits share more freedom than Druid’s Spirit Boons.

Gameplay And Mobility Of Spiritborn And Druid

Another comparison that players talk about is about mobility. It is well known that compared to other classes, Druid has a poor upgrade experience and weaker mobility. On the other hand, because of the introduction of mobility in Eagle skills, Spiritborn does not suffer from the trouble of leveling up. And it makes Spiritborn smooth sailing in the early stages of the game.

In terms of the combination of unique abilities, since Druid is designed as an image of slow speed and tanky figure, flexibility and mobility are relatively poor, such as Werewolf and Werebear skills or Nature and Earth skills. But Spiritborn is obviously more agile, and even as for relatively hefty Gorilla skills, there will be more mobility tools waiting for them to pick.

Although Werewolf skills can generally provide Druid with more mobility, they are also considered being one of the weakest skills in the class.

Impact On Class Design

Some characteristics of Spiritborn and Druid are very similar. Perhaps, considering that Spiritborn is a new class and has received a lot of attention at the beginning of its release, many players ignore its similarities.

After gaining an in-depth understanding of Spiritborn’s skills and builds, many players compared it with Druid, including its similarities and differences. And it begs a question that whether Diablo 4 requires new classes. Because to some extent, Spiritborn can be regarded as an improved version of Druid.

The introduction of Spiritborn undoubtedly exposed Druid’s weaknesses in the first few seasons, and even affected the career choices in the next few seasons. Of course, it also gave game developers a deeper level of thinking in class design, not just limited to the balance between classes.

The balance of different classes’ abilities is certainly important, but if the balance is created by weakening Spiritborn’s skills, it is something that many players do not want to see. What really matters is the unique mechanisms and skills of the classes.

Unique Items For Spiritborn And Druid

Whether it is Spiritborn or Druid, there are Unique items for them to equip. Let us put the difference and influence of them aside, and pay attention to improve their strength in the first place.

Rod of Kepeleke and Rakanoth’s Wake serve as two outstanding items in Diablo 4’s Spiritborn arsenal, especially for players who focus on a core skill build. But there is also a significant alleviation, which is that it reduces damage based on their Vigor Cost. But this can be offset by secondary effects. The performance provided by these two Unique items is literally equivalent to a freight train. And you can embrace them by devoting some Diablo 4 Gold.

If you choose Druid as your class, then it is recommended to equip the following Unique items to make you unstoppable and influence the gameplay further.

• Vasily’s Prayer: A top-tier item for Pulverize Werebear build, offering synergy function with Earth skills.
• Insatiable Fury: Boosts Werebear form to make it more suitable for tanky, melee-focused builds.
• Mad Wolf’s Glee: Best item for Werewolf speed-farming builds.
• Waxing Gibbous: Perfect for Shred Werewolf builds, providing near 100% Crit Chance.
• Temerity (Ancestral quality): Provides significant sustainability improvement.
• Mother’s Embrace: Provide amounts of Spirit regeneration when employing Tornado Druid build.

The above is the discussion caused by the comparison of Spiritborn and Druid. Thanks for reading.

The main campaign of Diablo 4 is carefully designed into six unique acts, each of which attracts players with its rich storyline and fascinating plot. Many players who are keen to explore the depth of the game may regard completing the entire story as a challenge. However, the game’s narrative is not just a chore to achieve a certain goal, but an experience worth enjoying in itself.

For new players who are stepping into this world full of unknowns and adventures for the first time, knowing what to expect can help you better prepare yourself. Although the scale of the entire campaign may not be as large as some large open-world games, it still takes more than an evening to fully experience it.

It is worth noting that each act in Diablo 4 not only varies in length, but also has its own distinctive storyline and development rhythm, which is also reflected in the overall ranking.

6. Act 3

The third act of Diablo 4 contains 16 main quests. However, compared with the other acts, this part seems to be slightly inferior. During this episode, players may find themselves simply traveling between points on the map, lacking a clear sense of purpose and direction.

Despite this, Act 3 is the longest of all the acts. Unfortunately, this feeling of length is not alleviated by the richness of the story. Instead, it becomes a bit boring.

In this act, there is a chance to explore some interesting characters in depth, such as Lillith and Elias. Instead of providing players with more background information about these two opponents through these lengthy acts, it is better to say that this design ultimately makes people feel that time is wasted. This is undoubtedly a pity.

5. Act 4

Diablo 4’s fourth act, despite only having 6 main quests, provides a satisfying story experience. This part of the content is just the right amount, allowing players to enjoy the game without being too long or rushed.

This act is basically a “getting the band together” storyline, reintroducing many characters from the first half of the game into the story. The final boss battle with Andariel is the climax of this act, which successfully reintroduces many characters from the first three acts.

4. Act 1

Diablo 4’s first act quickly draws players into the core atmosphere of the game with its compact plot. This act contains 19 main quests.

In the game’s brief prologue, the protagonist wakes up in the woods before heading to Kyovashad, and this scene immediately sets the tone of the game. The game then splits up a bit, allowing players to flexibly adjust the order of quests, and some players may even start exploring the content of Acts 2 and 3 before completing the introductory chapter.

The strength of Act 1 is that it introduces players to some of the best characters in the game and gives real emotional weight to the characters and story. The background and development of these characters not only enriches the game’s storyline, but also provides players with the opportunity to deeply understand and feel the game world, while also earning some valuable resources, such as Diablo 4 Gold.

3. Act 2

In Act 2, players will face 17 main quests, which are not only numerous but also of high quality, providing players with a satisfying and heartbreaking ending. The storyline of this act is fascinating, focusing on Donan’s relationship with the two druids and telling how they worked together to defeat Astaroth in their youth.

However, as the plot progresses, the two former druids are now influenced by Lilith and bring Astaroth back for an epic boss fight. Even more tragically, Donan’s son is used as a vessel to resurrect Astaroth, which makes players experience an actual storm of emotions in the game.

2. Act 5

Act 5 is a key turning point in Diablo 4, which brings the game to a climax with 22 main quests. In this act, players will follow in the footsteps of Elias and explore the secrets of his immortality.

Particularly worth mentioning is the quest “Beneath the Wine-Dark Sea”, which has become a highlight of the fifth act with its unique setting and wonderful plot. In this quest, players will be teleported to Epiphysis through a coffin. This fantasy world reminds people of the usual weird aesthetics of the Diablo series.

1. Act 6

As the final chapter of Diablo 4, the sixth act constitutes the climax and ending of the entire story with 10 main quests. Players will go deep into hell to fight in this act. Although the previous acts may be criticized by some players for not expanding the world and lore enough, the sixth act undoubtedly makes up for these shortcomings and wins the recognition of players with its compact rhythm and fierce battles.

Before the final big boss battle, Lilith gets more in-depth exploration and characterization. The wonderful dialogue between her and Inarius not only reveals more about her background story, but also adds more emotional colors to the upcoming battle.

The boss fight with Lilith is also a visual and strategic feast in itself, especially in the second stage, when she destroys parts of the game area, making the combat space gradually shrink, forcing players to respond more flexibly.

After spending a long time with characters such as Donan, Neyrelle and Lorath, the sixth act gives players a sense of the tragedy of a mob against the army of Hell alone.

Overall, Diablo 4’s main quests are a journey worth investing time and effort to complete.

I believe almost every Diablo fan knows that in the latest Season 6 and DLC update, in addition to a series of game-changing gameplay changes, the most important change is the change in the character level cap.

In Diablo 4 Season 6 and Vessel of Hatred, the level cap has been reduced from the previous level 100 to the current level 60. Reaching level 60 does not mean the end of the game, but represents a new beginning, and players will start to explore the new Torment world. Here, threats and challenges are everywhere, but players also have more opportunities to earn Diablo 4 Gold and rare loot. Therefore, reaching the level cap of 60 as soon as possible has become the first goal of many players entering Season 6.

If you're still feeling anxious because you've been stuck at the same level for so long and can't move forward, then it's time to put this guide to work. Let’s talk about methods and tips to reach the highest level in the shortest time to help you prepare for the challenges ahead.

Difficulty Levels Selection

First, when you create your character, it is recommended to start with Hard Mode to get a 75% XP and gold boost. If you are a skilled Diablo 4 player who has obtained multiple Legendary items and completed Tempering, you can also choose Expert and Penitent difficulties, which will allow you to get 125% and 175% Diablo 4 gold and XP respectively for killing monsters. However, we must emphasize that unless you have a super strong build or good equipment, killing monsters at these difficulty levels will take too long and the gains are not worth it.

Levels 1-15

As for where to level up, you can try different leveling methods for different level intervals. During 1-15, you can first unlock Legendary Aspects in your Codex of Power. This, together with Legion Events, should allow you to reach level 15 quickly.

It’s best to unlock Legendary Aspects first because then you can imprint them on your gear when you need them. If you don’t have any Aspects unlocked for your build, then you can just go straight into Helltides.

When you reach level 15, you can run your class-specific quests. If you happen to be a Necromancer, then your class-specific quests open up at level 25. But you should do this anyway to get to power peak as soon as possible.

Levels 15-52

During 15-52, you need to run Helltides. Note that make sure to run Whispers you can run, as well as Hellspires and Soulspires, as these will give you a lot of XP and loot. Also, remember to use your Aberrant Cinders to open Tortured Gifts of Mysteries so you can get extra XP from them as well.

Levels 52-59

At 52-59, you can run Strongholds. I will warn you though that the developers have drastically reduced XP you get from Strongholds after PTR. As you run through them, you’ll notice that starting at level 52 you’ll probably get half as much XP from Strongholds per level as before.

If you own Vessel of Hatred DLC, you can start running Strongholds at level 51 or even 50. There are 3 per region, so there are 15 Strongholds in total. But if you count Nahantu from the expansion, there are 18. This can give you extra opportunities to increase your XP.

Levels 59-60

By the time you’re in the 59-60 period, you’ll turn in your Renown rewards. Realistically the first and second Renown rewards are next to nothing, but after you’ve finished Strongholds, you should be able to turn in the third Renown reward per region, which will give you about 20% of XP bar per region at level 59. This should get you to level 60 quickly.

Additionally, we strongly recommend that you continue to participate in Legion Events for XP, loot, Murmuring Obols, and Favor, but you should probably skip Realmwalker Events and World Bosses. While farming Seething Opal dropped by Realmwalkers is a substantial reward, it takes too long to do it compared to other methods. World Bosses are also a general problem. They can provide some solid loot, but they won’t give very good XP. And you won’t always have a group that can kill it within the time limit, especially early in the season.

Leveling Tips

Beyond that, here are a few more tips that you should pay attention to. I’ll start by saying that the fastest way to level up is probably to farm Blood Maiden in turns, especially if you have a large group doing it together. But if you’re leveling alone without materials, then follow the leveling methods above.

Also, remember that the fastest way to level up is not necessarily the best way to level up. You may be able to level up from level 1 to 60 faster by grinding Helltides over and over, but you may struggle more when you reach Torment Difficulty.

Last but not least, if you own Vessel of Hatred expansion, it’s recommended that you prioritize completing the expansion’s activities to unlock Mercenaries, Renown rewards, and other goodies that come with DLC.

In conclusion, we can’t stress enough that you should always upgrade your Diablo 4 gear as much as possible, especially since you can now use Natural Finesse immediately after character creation to deal more damage. Unlock the various Legendary Aspects early if you can. Don’t forget to turn in your Smoldering Ashes for additional rewards, and claim Seasonal Journey Cache when they become available. With a little luck, you might be able to get some key items that speed up your leveling. Have a great Season!

With the launch of Season of Hatred Rising, various new contents are gradually being paid attention to and explored by the majority of players. Besides some new updated contents, players can also develop more Builds suitable for different Classes in the new season.

In MMO games such as Diablo 4 series, combat is undoubtedly an important part of the game. Whether you want to concentrate on character upgrades or like to explore around the game map, there will be various enemies or bosses waiting for players.

Therefore, before engaging in a head-on battle, it is very important to prepare various Builds that are strong enough to fight. Because this also determines whether the player can get enough Diablo 4 Gold and other game materials by winning battle.

In Diablo 4 series of games, Barbarian, one of the mainstream Classes, also has some Builds that are most suitable for them. Therefore, in order for players who like this Class to enjoy battle better, we will introduce you to Bleed Thorns Leveling Build suitable for Season of Hatred Rising.

Bleed Thorns Leveling Build Overview

In the new season, each Class has received some new upgraded Builds besides some effective Builds that have been matched before. Bleed Thorns Leveling Build is one of them.

It is also one of the most effective Builds that Barbarian Class can use. Using it does not require players to invest too much effort in studying the operation method. Just match it with some good equipment to bring players very effective combat bonuses in battle, so that they can defeat those enemies with higher difficulty levels.

As the name suggests, Bleed Thorns Leveling Build is actually based on Bleed/Thorns hybrid setting. The principle of its operation in battle is somewhat similar to Spiritborn Centipede Leveling Build in the same series of games.

The difference is that the latter mainly deals damage to enemies through Thorns with a DOT effect, while Bleed Thorns Leveling Build uses Bleed effect to hit enemies.

This Build is a Rend and Barbed Carapace Build. With Barbed Carapace Key passive skill effect in Build, players can Shout to make surrounding enemies receive 100% Thorns damage when facing a Siege.

In addition, if you want to make Build more powerful by upgrading skill points and related skills used with Build, we recommend that you choose Flay and Rend in active skills, and prioritize upgrading Warpath, Belligerence, Outburst, and Tough in passive skills. This will improve your damage output and survivability overall.

As for the choice of technique slots, if you want to cause extra bleed damage in battle, you can choose two-handed sword. Using two-handed mace will get more fury generation.

However, in terms of overall functional attributes and operability, Bleed Thorns Leveling Build will be more suitable for players who have reached level 60 and above in the game. Because only when you reach this level can you can fully realize the potential of this Build.

How To Use Bleed Thorns Leveling Build?

As mentioned in the previous, Bleed Thorns Leveling Build is not very difficult to operate in combat. You just need to follow a few tips while making full use of your abilities.

First, you need to keep combat Flay fully stacked in combat to get more damage reduction, bonus Thorns, and bonus damage from Belligerence passive.

Also, use Rend as much as possible when dealing with damage to enemies to get 120% bonus Thorns, which can deal more damage to enemies. Challenging Shout has a similar skill effect and even provides you with some damage reduction. Rupture’s first hit will always Overpower, while triggering Warpath passive.

You can also use the legendary aspect to help you Use Ground Stomp to stun, generate fury, get rid of weak enemies, and create damage-boosting earthquakes.

Gear And Aspects For Bleed Thorns Leveling Build

Besides learning how to arrange the use of different skills, using the appropriate gear and aspects to get some extra benefits for Build can also give you the opportunity to get more Diablo 4 Gold and some game items through battles.

Besides those gear or aspects that can provide common damage, resistances, and armor effects, if you want to better use it with Bleed Thorns Leveling Build, players also need to notice those armors with Thorns damage, damage over time, and maximum life effects.

Or you can also Use amethysts on your weapons, rubies on your armor, and diamonds on your accessories. These can help you achieve some Build benefits. In addition, don’t forget to complete bounties at Tree of Whispers in the game, which can give you a lot of loot and XP when leveling up.

If you don’t have these legendary aspects, then you should at least try to get Skullbreaker, Retribution, Needleflare, and Anemia from codex of power. Anemia lets you stun Bleeding targets.

Anemia lets you stun bleeding targets, and Skullbreaker and Retribution further increase damage done to these targets. Meanwhile, Needleflare will cause more AOE damage by scattering Thorns around enemies.

These are some tips and guidelines that you must know when using Barbarian Bleed Thorns Leveling Build in Season of Hatred Rising. Hopefully, this will help you better fight through Barbarian Class and get more game rewards. Good luck!

The three elements are Lightning, Fire and Ice, respectively.

Lightning builds are suitable for dealing with large groups of enemies, and it is best to combine it with Overflowing Energy Key Passive or Vyr’s Master Key Passive.

Ice builds excels at slowing enemies down. Taking the advantage of either Avalanche Key Passive or Shatter Key Passive, players will have a higher survival rate in fierce battles.

Fire builds specialize in casting titanic explosions and burning your enemies. Use Combustion Key Passive for burning enemies or Esu’s Ferocity Key Passive to help perform tons of Critical Strikes.
