Diablo 4 Services

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

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

Boss Power Overview

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

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

What Do All Boss Powers Do?

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

1. Legendary Powers

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

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

2. Rare Powers

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

• Beast In The Ice’s Sleet: Cast 3 skills with control or stun effects to shoot hail spikes, dealing cold damage to enemies / increasing the effect of freezing damage.
• Belial’s Crystal Decoy: Create exploding crystals to deal shadow damage / cause fear and shadow damage to enemies.

• Avarice’s Explosive Ore: Generates explosive ore that damages enemies / increases damage output.
• Wandering Death’s Chest Beam: Generates a beam that causes frostbite damage when channeling skills / instantly kills non-boss enemies with less than 35% health.

3. Magic Powers

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

• Allek’s Talons: When casting basic skills, you can deal 200% spark damage to the enemies / the more movement speed is increased, the faster the skill cools down.
• Beastmaster’s Training: Taunt enemies with summons or mercenaries to gain damage reduction / increase your movement speed and the damage caused by summons.
• Blackmailer’s Sabotage: When casting core skills with barrier, you can knock down close enemies for 1.1 seconds / gain 20% barrier effect while gaining amplification.

• Hatred’s Embrace’s Haste: Increases your movement speed by 1.1% when casting a Shadow or Fire skill / gives critical chance first, then increases critical chance for every 1% increase in Shadow resistance.
• Kirma’s Sparks: Deals 200% more spark damage to close enemies while dodging / reduces your dodge cooldown.
• Outlaw Sharpshooter’s Eye: Dealing direct damage to a ranged enemy slows them and surrounding enemies / farther the enemy is from you, the more damage you deal to them.
• Sinerat’s Flames: Using a mobile skill burns close enemies / increased damage to all elements.
• Skerg’s Toxins: When an enemy deals continuous damage to you, you can deal poison damage to them within 4 seconds / when you are damaged by a continuous damage effect, you have a 5% chance to be healed.
• Torusk’s Rage: Increases your damage, attack speed, and movement speed while strengthening the enemy / the more damage you deal with the enemy, the faster your movement speed becomes.

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

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

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

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

How To Get Vox Omnium?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Stats And Effect Of Vox Omnium Unique Staff

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

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

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

Best Build To Use Vox Omnium In Season 7

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Overall Introduction

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

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

Best Active Skills

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

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

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

Best Passive Skills

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

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

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

Available Seasonal Powers

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

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

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

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

Best Legendary Aspects & Gear

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

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

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

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

Best Paragon Boards & Glyphs

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

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

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

Although the 2.2.0 PTR for Season 8 has been closed, and it is expected that the season may receive other adjustments based on the PTR after the official launch, at least the season theme and some seasonal content will not change significantly, such as the appearance of the main boss Belial.

In fact, if you experience the 2.2.0 PTR, you will know that many new contents of Season 8 are related to this boss. It is worth noting that for the entire Diablo series, Belial is not a purely new character. His allies Andariel and Duriel have been active in the boss battle of Diablo 4, and Belial himself has appeared as the boss of the second act of Diablo 3.

So you should be able to foresee that the arrival of Belial will not only provide new playable content for Diablo 4 Season 8, but may also have an impact on the direction of the main plot of the game, because he is related to many classic villains. Based on this, we will introduce you to both aspects separately.

Playable Content In Season 8

With the return of Belial, not only are there more bosses you can farm, but you can even earn Diablo 4 Gold by farming bosses and gain new available powers while doing so! In addition, the new seasonal event Apparition Incursion and the upgraded and renamed endgame boss system are also closely related to Belial.

Boss Powers

Like Season 3’s vampire powers and Season 7’s witch powers, according to the content shown in the 2.2.0 PTR, Season 8 is expected to add boss powers as the biggest feature of the season. Specifically, you can absorb the exclusive skills of the 24 bosses in Sanctuary after killing them, including world bosses and Apparition Incursion event bosses (including even the terrifying Duriel and Lilith, as well as the latest Belial).

Each boss power is expected to have a primary effect and modifiers that can be activated based on the power slot you equip it to. You can activate up to 1 main power and 3 modifier powers at a time, and you can try more main power and modifier power combinations in the process of obtaining new powers, and find more available Season 8 builds.

Apparition Incursion Event

Realmwalker in Season 6 and Headrotten in Season 7 are special enemies that you need to kill and can drop various seasonal rewards for you. In Season 8, similar enemies will be Apparition monsters brought by the new event Apparition Incursion - they are also Belial’s subordinates.

There should be 10 Apparition monsters that can be killed in this event, each of which can provide you with rich rewards, including exclusive boss powers to help you fight against the final boss Belial.

New Lair Boss Mechanism

The most terrifying boss in Diablo 4 should have been the endgame boss, but with the appearance of Belial, the endgame boss mechanism will be fully optimized and upgraded and renamed lair boss. On this basis, bosses of this category are divided into three levels: initiate, greater, and exalted lair. They are:

• Initiate Lair Bosses: Beast in the Ice, Grigoire, Lord Zir, Varshan, and Urivar.
• Greater Lair Bosses: Andariel, Duriel, and Harbringer of Hatred.
• Exalted Lair Bosses: Belial.

It is worth noting that you must be in Torment I or higher to fight lair bosses. In addition, summoning these bosses no longer requires special materials, and killing them will not drop enough loot directly, but a hoard will appear after their death. Only by obtaining the corresponding key can the hoard be opened to obtain loot.

Future Diablo 4 Plot

In the story of Diablo 2 and Immortal, Belial and Azmodan were imprisoned together in the soulstone after failing to conquer Sanctuary, and Diablo continued to attack Sanctuary and Heaven until he was defeated and thrown back into the abyss at the end of Diablo 3, but his failure also led to the release of Belial and other demons.

As a core character of the entire game series, Diablo’s first appearance was in Diablo 1, which was launched in 1996. This special boss battle in D1 later even appeared in the anniversary dungeon of D3. Later, Diablo also appeared as the final boss of the fourth act of both D2 and D3 games.

So far, Diablo 4 is the only game in the entire Diablo series in which Diablo himself has not appeared. Although he is often mentioned by other villains, he has never appeared as a real boss. Logically, Diablo should appear in D4, but perhaps because he is so important, the developers don’t know when is the best time to make him appear.

However, if Belial, the boss who also appeared in the previous game, can receive good reviews from players in Diablo 4 Season 8, it may indicate that it is time for Diablo to debut! This will usher in the most important turning point in the plot of the entire Diablo 4 series, and may also attract some players who are interested in Diablo himself.

The above is our analysis of the return of the new boss Belial. Let us look forward to his official performance on Season 8!

Goblins are a common creature in fantasy MMORPGs. Although they are often small and ugly so that they are not set as your character’s playable race or the main boss of the game, but they are the best choice for playing as NPCs in limited-time events. Take Diablo 4 as an example, on March 4, the game held a week-long March of the Goblins during Season 7.

In fact, this is not the first time that Diablo 4 has held March of the Goblins. In the winter of the second half of last year, in order to warm up for the upcoming Christmas, Diablo 4 also held another goblin event called Slay Ride To Hell, which received a good response.

The main purpose of these goblin events is not only to liven up the season’s atmosphere but also to provide you with a new limited-time channel to earn rewards. For example, in this March of the Goblins, you can get Diablo 4 Gold, Mythic Unique items, and other more precious resources by hunting down 6 different goblins.

However, shortly after the event began, some players who chose to experience it on Xbox found that they could not participate normally. Based on this, we will introduce you to this Xbox-only bug and how to continue the event after it is resolved.

Bug On Xbox

After March of the Goblins event was launched on March 4, if you are a Xbox player, you may have seen the goblin statue in Kyovashad center but could not participate in the event on time. This is because patch 2.1.3 and the event had a delay problem on the Xbox platform at that time.

Honestly, it is frustrating when you find that players on other platforms have started to earn rewards by hunting goblins, but you can’t experience it. Although delays are not surprising for Diablo 4 - the release of Season 8 was delayed, it is hard not to feel psychologically unbalanced that this delay is only for the Xbox player group.

Fortunately, the problem was eventually resolved quickly. Diablo 4 fixed the delay bug a few hours after it appeared, allowing you to download the update on Xbox to experience this goblin event smoothly.

Why Did This Bug Happen?

Although neither Xbox nor Diablo 4 announced the final cause of this delay, many players speculated that it might be due to Xbox’s too strict and slow patch review policy. In fact, Xbox takes longer to approve most new games or new game patches than other platforms. For example, Stardew Valley 1.6 update also encountered similar problems when it was released on Game Pass.

In contrast to the inefficiency of Xbox, the speed at which Diablo 4 developers responded to this delay is enough to satisfy you - if even Diablo 4 was delayed, it might cause you to miss out on valuable loot in the event. Also, while you can still hunt goblins after the event ends, these creatures will appear more frequently during this event, so delays may hinder your progress.

How To Play March Of The Goblins?

There are six types of goblins you can hunt during this event, and each one offers different rewards, but first you need to know how to start the event.

Once logged in, control your character to Kyovashad and find Altar of the Goblin statue in front of Idania’s Ring and amulet shop. It will be marked on the mini-map with a white badge icon. Once you find it, hover over the statue to see the level of the goblin you are tracking, and the rewards you can get for killing different goblins. They are:

• Green Odious Ector: Crafting materials, Obducite for Masterwork upgrades.
• Gold Gilded Baron: A staggering amount of Diablo 4 Gold.
• Diamond Glittering Prym: Gem fragments, runes, Undercity Tributes and Scattered Prisms.
• Purple Curious Murl: Bag of Obols, which can be used to obtain many Murming Obols.
• Blue Gelatinous Syrus: Splits into two goblins when killed, and then into three. Killing them all will give you a legendary item. It may also drop gold, boss materials, and elixirs.
• Mythic Purple Fancy Old Fedric: One mythic unique item and one Resplendent Spark.

It is worth noting that if you reach the level of a goblin during the event 10. In addition to the dropped rewards, you will also receive a treasure chest containing rare prizes such as Resplendent Spark.

If you want to improve the efficiency of farming goblins within the specified time, it is recommended that you go to specific areas, such as Nahantu, where there are many goblins in the west; or the beaches in the northern area of ​​Ked Baru, where there are also many goblins waiting for you to kill. And the higher the difficulty of Torment you challenge, the higher the probability of goblins appearing on the map.

In addition, since this event is held in Season 7, you can also make full use of some of the seasonal mechanisms, such as Headhunt zones or Helltides, which are special events with timers that facilitate goblin hunting in specified areas.

It is worth mentioning that since the goblin hunt takes place in public areas, other players may steal your loot during the hunt. To avoid this, please turn off your Diablo 4 PVP mode and cross-platform play before entering this event.

The above is about the bug of March of the Goblins on the Xbox platform, as well as the way to participate in the event in time after the bug is resolved. I hope it can be helpful to you. Thank you for reading.
