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 Gears

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.

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.

Diablo 4 Vessel Of Hatred brought many new features designed to enhance the player experience. But despite the addition of a ton of new content and improvements, future expansions still need to add many much-needed features to further optimize the experience. Here are some things players would like to see in Diablo 4.

10. Add More Detailed Areas

Nahantu, introduced in Vessel Of Hatred, caught the attention of players with its unique visual and thematic style. In this area, players can explore overgrown jungle and ancient runes and travel to the main town hub of Kurast.

Despite the enormous size of Diablo’s map, Nahantu is one of the few areas that offers this level of complexity and detail. Future expansions should focus on an all-new area that can rival the complexity and variety of Nahantu.

9. Add More Utility To Pets

In Diablo 4, while the main function of pets is to collect loot, they have little utility beyond being cute decorations. Moreover, obtaining pets is also quite difficult and requires a lot of Diablo 4 Gold.

Therefore, in order to enhance the player’s gaming experience, some improvements can be considered to pets to play a greater role in the game, similar to mercenaries. For example, pets can provide minor buffs, increase the player’s health, or attract the attention of enemies.

8. Improve Endgame Content

While Vessel Of Hatred has breathed new life into Diablo 4 endgame content, the game could still benefit from more challenges for players who have completed the main story and reached a high level. The latest expansion is already involved, but not yet perfect. More interesting world bosses, various new randomized events, and challenges will greatly improve the game after completion.

7. Expand Mount Mechanics

Mounts not only allow players to move more quickly and efficiently, but also allow for appearance choices based on the player’s preferences. However, there is still a lot of room for expansion in Diablo 4’s mount mechanics at present.

Future updates may introduce mount upgrades, including combat moves, defensive skills, and unlocking faster speeds, additional armor, and loot discovery. These improvements will encourage players to use and upgrade their mounts more.

6. Increase The Drop Rate Of Iron Chunks And Leather

Players rely heavily on iron chunks and leather when crafting and upgrading gear, imprinting aspects, and tempering gear. These materials can be collected by exploring various areas, strongholds, and world tiers in the game world.

However, the current supply of these materials is relatively limited, forcing players to spend a lot of time repeatedly collecting these materials, especially at high levels, when more materials are needed. This problem becomes more prominent. To improve this situation, it is recommended that Diablo 4 increase the drop rate and discovery locations of these materials to reduce the duplication of players in collecting resources.

5. Add More Mercenary Types

In Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred, Mercenaries can use their special skills to help players traverse various areas.

These mercenaries have unique passive abilities, and there are four types to choose from: Raheir (a tank), Subo (an archer), Aldkin (a mage), and Varyana (a berserker).

Each passive ability allows players to adopt different tactics when exploring different areas. For example, Subo can display all enemies and resource locations on the map when gathering resources. To further enrich the game experience, it is recommended to add more types of Mercenaries in future expansions, each with unique passive abilities, which will provide more variety for players.

4. Increase Bag Space

Since the Diablo series is known for its rich loot, the problem of too little inventory always forces players to frequently sell items or keep only the most valuable loot. Expanding bag space will reduce the number of times players have to pause the game to manage inventory, allowing them to collect and farm loot more efficiently.

3. Introduce Richer Activity Content

The game loop may make players feel monotonous, especially at higher levels. The new cooperative area Dark Citadel in Vessel of Hatred introduces new game mechanics that require at least two players to conquer different parts of the area.

In further expansions, Diablo 4 should provide opportunities to experience activities beyond the regular spin-to-win mechanics or basic dungeon crawling. By introducing some richer additional activity content, it will provide players with a reason to return to the game after their characters have reached their maximum limit.

2. Introduce More New Professions

The Spiritborn introduced in Vessel of Hatred can channel the power of four distinct spirit guardians, which infuse unique effects into the Spiritborn’s attacks. The introduction of the Spiritborn has been a tremendous success, bringing players a brand new combat experience that complements the new area and new content.

New professions in future expansions will give players the opportunity to try more play styles, while adding much-needed endgame variety to the game, giving players the opportunity to try new abilities and mechanics.

1. Lack Of Build Progression Post-Level 50

After reaching level 50, players may find that the progress of the build seems to have stagnated. Regardless of the challenges and equipment they face, their builds always seem to stay the same. This can dampen players’ motivation to progress.

To address this, future expansions could consider introducing a new mechanic to help players escape the monotonous task of constantly collecting materials. More challenges would help remove some of the tedium from the build process in Diablo 4.

These improvements would not only enrich the Diablo 4 gaming experience, but also entice more players to return and explore this challenging and fun world.

With the launch of Vessel Of Hatred, the newly added Class Spiritborn in this Expansion has also received keen attention from players. In fact, whether in terms of freshness or overall strength, Spiritborn is indeed worthy of attention from players.

In addition to the most eye-catching Skill Level and Combat Ability, it is also worth noticing to what Armor a new Class will have available. On the one hand, good Armor will provide Combat Benefits to the player’s game Character, such as increasing Defense Value or Attack power.

On the other hand, different Armor will also bring different Appearance effects to players in terms of Appearance. After all, most players should hope that their Characters can look as cool and good-looking as possible.

As a new Class, Spiritborn naturally has a lot of Armor to choose from in the game. Players can get their favorite Spiritborn Armor by using Diablo 4 Gold. And this Class can customize its Appearance through Transmogs, and players can get Transmog Pieces by recycling Armor. This also means a richer Appearance experience.

Based on this, we will introduce the five Spirit Armor that are worth getting.

1. Classic Hide Set

This set of Armor has a white fur lining, so it shows a light and holy feeling which can be said to be very consistent with characteristics of Spiritborn Class that Fights with the power of nature.

However, it is also because of the white color that it is difficult for players to keep clean when wearing Classic Hide Set in the game to Fight or cross Streams and Swamps. However, it can give players a freer Range of Movement and is softer and more flexible overall, so a minor flaw is nothing.

In fact, each Class in the game has its own Classic Hide Set, and different Classes have different Appearances when wearing it. When Classes other than Spiritborn wear it, the overall look will be more furry, suitable for Frozen, Snowy Regions.

2. Fur-Lined Set

Like Classic Hide Set, Fur-Lined Set is also a basic Armor that every Class has, and the wearing effect of different Classes is also different. For example, when worn by Rogue, it doesn’t look like fur, but more like simple leather Armor.

When worn by Sorcerer, it takes on Appearance of a fur headdress with a Robe, and the style of Robe is very similar to that of Spiritborn wearing Fur-Lined Set.

For Spiritborn, the headdress when wearing Fur-Lined Set looks quite wild, a Helmet in the shape of a wolf’s head. Some metal decorations on the body not only play a protective role but also make Character wearing this set of Armor look more cold and powerful. In addition, other small fur decorations are also very Spiritborn.

3. Highland Set

At the beginning of Vessel Of Hatred’s launch, this set of Armor was unexpectedly popular with many players. If you were game online frequently, you would find that there were always people running around Gea Kul wearing it.

In various ways, it is also suitable for Spiritborn. Highland Set has many exquisite and beautiful Armor design details, and gives people a wild and primitive beauty which echoes Class Characteristics of Spiritborn. It can be said that it is a Diablo 4 Item worth having.

Its default Armor color is already very attractive, but if you customize it with other color palettes, you will also get a richer Appearance experience. And each part of Highland Set works well when mixed with other transmog styles, so players can create more distinctive new Armor.

4. Drifter’s Set

When Spiritborn players wear this set of Armor, the overall Appearance will be very jungle-style, reminiscent of Spiritborn’s hometown Nahantu. Of all the parts of Armor, the most attractive is undoubtedly Helmet.

Bronze design on Helmet of Drifter’s Set is located above the wearer’s eyes, and there are two jaw-like pieces hanging down the sides of the head, which are very special and eye-catching.

Although this set of Armor does not look very “Drifter” on Spiritborn Character, what does it matter? After all, wearing it will make Spiritborn Character more Nahantu-style, which is very interesting.

5. Sand-Worn

Similar to Classic Hide Set or Fur-Lined Set, Sand-Worn has different Appearances for different Classes, and it also takes on different colors depending on the gender of the wearer.

Besides being very suitable for Desert Sand and Jungle Characteristics of Spiritborn, when a female Character wears Sand-Worn Armor, its initial color is a beautiful blue, which differs from the default colors of other Armors.

In addition, when Spiritborn wears this Armor, its Hand wraps are also very interesting. One of Hand wraps has a curved clip-shaped design on the arm. This makes it seem easy to get hooked when walking through Jungle or Bushes.

These 5 Spiritborn Armor sets have their own characteristics in Appearance and actual function, but there is no doubt that they are all suitable for Spiritborn. If you want to play this new Class in Vessel Of Hatred, you can try to get these special Diablo 4 Items in the game.

The above is the content of Vessel Of Hatred Spiritborn Armor introduced to you this time. You can also try to find more Armor suitable for Spiritborn in the game. We wish you have a good Diablo 4 DLC journey!

As we all know, Legendary Aspects in Diablo 4 are passive buffs applied to your equipment, and many of the properties are related to Class you use. For example, the new Spiritborn Class in Vessel of Hatred expansion needs some Legendary Aspects that can make their elements and transformations powerful to fight against evil forces.

But among the many Legendary Aspects suitable for Spiritborn, how do you choose the most suitable for your build? Don’t worry, this guide will introduce you to several best Legendary Aspects that you can’t go wrong with, because they can increase some very important key attributes of your character and make it powerful.

Unrelenting Aspect

• Effect: Crushing Hand attacks 10 more times in a row around you, dealing a percentage of your base damage per attack.

First of all, we need to understand that the core of Spiritborn skill is the four Spirit Guardians you can summon, so Unrelenting Aspect mainly enhances one of Gorilla spirits named Wumba. This Guardian is best at dealing a lot of physical damage to the enemy and can help you build a vigorous defense to enhance your survivability.

When you combine Unrelenting Aspect with the core node skill Crushing Hand in Gorilla Guardian, this skill can summon Wumba to create two tremendous shock waves, causing unpredictable damage to the enemy.

And when you spend Vigor to activate Crushing Hand for the third time, it will create 10 shock waves for you, allowing you to eliminate those group enemies quickly. And after the shock waves end, you will definitely pick up a lot of Diablo 4 Gold in the arena as your reward.

As you can see, Unrelenting Aspect can make up for the biggest weakness of Spiritborn when using Gorilla Guardian - focusing on single target damage. When you equip it in your build, you no longer have to be afraid of groups of enemies.

Raider’s Aspect

• Effect: Poisoning a healthy enemy will restore a small percentage of their maximum life.

When Raider’s Aspect is combined with Spiritborn’s poisonous Spirit Guardian Centipede, you can deal very strong AOE damage to enemies. This Guardian is perfect for when you want to defeat groups of enemies from a distance easily, but it should be noted that it does not have the mobility of Eagle or the physical defense of Gorilla, so it is a Spirit Guardian with high damage but low survivability.

But when you equip Raider’s Aspect, Centipede’s ability that can poison enemies becomes very powerful, and your survivability will also be strengthened, reducing the impact of the previous shortcomings. And when you re-use poison, this Legendary Aspect will continue to stack, making your overall healing effect better.

Although this Legendary Aspect is not suitable for Spiritborn builds with strong survivability, it can still reduce your chance of death when you are exploring the new content of Vessel of Hatred expansion.

Aspect Of Apprehension

• Effect: When an enemy is slowed by more than 80%, they will be frightened for 3 seconds. Frightened enemies take increased damage.

Among Spiritborn’s several Spirit Guardians, some Gorilla and Centipede Guardian skills can slow down the movement speed or attack speed of enemies during combat. These skills will be more powerful if combined with Aspect of Apprehension.

Unlike other offensive or defensive skills that can only be activated by Lucky Hit, Gorilla and Centipede Guardian skills will become more practical with the help of this Legendary Aspect, especially when facing Feared enemies.

If your friend is exploring with you and is using a class like Rogue that can slow down the target, then when you equip Aspect of Apprehension, the slowing effect will be superimposed and cause high DPS. This will greatly increase the fun of your cooperative exploration. However, it is also very suitable to be placed in some single-player exploration builds.

Aspect Of Haste

• Effect: While moving, you gain bonus movement and speed up to 30-75% for 2 seconds each second.

This Aspect of Haste is a Legendary Aspect that focuses on the Spiritborn’s Mobility, and does not directly affect any of Class’s skills. Because of this aspect’s high mobility, it is perfect for players who choose Jaguar or Eagle Guardian Spirits in their build.

Both of these Guardians make Spiritborn Class highly mobile and very suitable for guerrilla tactics. This is very friendly to players who have certain requirements for survivability and damage ability, and can easily obtain the last Diablo 4 Gold and loot.

Aspect Of Turbulence

• Effect: Soar fires a vortex where he lands, dealing with extra damage.

If you use Eagle Guardian as your main Spirit Guardian, then Aspect of Turbulence will be your best helper. First, Soar allows you to hurry across the arena, making enemies miss no matter which direction they attack.

In addition, you can also use this aspect to summon a cyclone and deal with a lot of damage after they miss. If you want to deal more damage, you can add Ferocity and Resolve to the skill tree. The former can help you increase your attack speed, and the latter can increase your Damage Reduction.

But here I want to remind you that this series of skills will consume a lot of Vigor, so it is best to add some Diablo 4 Items that can increase Vigor limit before building this Spiritborn build, which can ensure the output efficiency of the entire build.

Tormentor’s Aspect

• Effect: Enemies that move while you are poisoning take an additional 50-250% of the damage caused by your thorns every second.

This Tormentor’s Aspect is suitable for any build that allows Spiritborn to have Thorns song equipment. First of all, Thorns will cause damage to those enemies hit. Most enemies or bosses are resistant to it, so with Tormentor’s Aspect, you can fire Thorns with Centipede skills that can poison enemies. Not many enemies can resist this type of elemental damage, so this will increase your chances of success in battles, and you don’t have to do too much. Just walk slowly towards the enemy.

Aspect Of Temporal Incisions

• Effect: Activating Rushing Claw extends the duration of any active Incarnate skills by a few seconds, stacking up to multiple times.

Aspect of Temporal Incisions is very suitable for builds that use Jaguar Spiritborn as the main Spirit Guardian, because it makes the rapid fire casts in this build more powerful.

But if you equip Rushing Claw on this build’s skill tree, you can also extend the passive benefits provided by other skills, even the skills of other Spirit Guardians, such as Counterattack (Jaguar), Ravager (Jaguar), Toxic Skin (Centipede), and Armored Hide (Gorilla).

All of these skills provide bonuses to the Spiritborn’s mobility, attack speed, and general defensive protection, and also allow them to save on vitality costs, something that many Legendary Aspects can’t do.

These are some of the best legendary aspects you can choose for Spiritborn in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred expansion. Hopefully, you can pick the one that best suits your build in this guide and get the most out of it. Have fun playing!

Mercenaries mechanism in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred expansion has invited some dispute in previous days. Because there is a bug that some players are not available to recruit mercenaries. But now that this bug has been fixed, there is no reason for players not to use these new support characters.

First, players are required to complete Vessel of Hatred campaign until they are allowed to enter Mercenary Den, then mercenaries will naturally be unlocked.

Then, players can hire a mercenary as the primary mercenary, who will follow the player on the rest of the journey and perform active skills, passives and perks to support players.

Players are also available to recruit another mercenary. And the method they provide support to you is a little different. Players give one of the mercenary’s active skills which will be cast under particular situations. There are four mercenaries with unique skills and merits on offer. You can make a choice based on your play style or requirements.

This article is an introduction to four mercenaries for your reference.

4. Aldkin

Perk

Blasphemous Fire: Aldkin can show up as an overwhelming demon form and curse the player in this period.

Shadow Skills

• Haunt: Deals Shadow damage persistently.
• Field of Languish: Decrease damage and movement speed of enemies.
• Chain of Souls: Perform Shadow damage and stun.

Shadow Passives

• Terrify/Exhaustion: Make Haunt vulnerable or daze.

• Burning Chaos/Raging Havoc: Reset Wave of Flames cooldown.

Aldkin’s Field of Languish is very effective in improving the player’s survivability, but he is not as good as Raheir. It is best to use him as a secondary mercenary to avoid the harm of a curse. The continuous damage caused by Wave of Flames can effectively improve the efficiency of single-player upgrades.

3. Subo

Perk

Seeker: Subo highlights the resources and Diablo 4 Items that are equipped by nearby enemies. This skill can also mark the location of enemies and hit them, granting extra resource generation on hits.

Wire Tap Skills

Subo’s Wire Tap skill tree has basically no downsides and is a good choice for players who want extra CC or to supplement their own CC.

• Shield Charge: Physical damage and taunt, Shield Bash.

• Raheir’s Aegis/Draw Fire: All resist buff for the player.
• Inspiration/Iron Wolf’s Virtue: Offers ground Slam and Bastion buff for player.
• Iron Wolf’s Arrival/Consecrated Shield: Casts Ground Slam and Shield Throw or Shield Throw.

Based on multiple results, Raheir is probably the best all-around mercenary, which can complement the survivability of any class or build. His skills and buffs are perfect for players to deal with a variety of enemies. And his taunt abilities also suits for glass cannon ranged builds.
