General News

Greetings, Diablo 4 fans! We are just days away from the launch of the brand-new Diablo 2 Resurrected Ladder Season 14, arriving on May 22nd! Thanks to Patch 3.2, released just a few days ago, we now know that this seasonal update brings with it more refined class balancing and even more brutal endgame challenges. Of particular interest are the series of highly forward-thinking adjustments and bug fixes implemented for Warlock class.

Following this comprehensive rework, Warlock is poised to maintain the same level of dominance in Season 14 that it enjoyed in the previous season. Among the many Warlock builds available, Summon Tainted Blood Boil hybrid build stands head and shoulders above the rest, having already demonstrated its earth-shattering power during the recent Patch 3.2 PTR. Although the official release of Season 14 will inevitably bring some degree of balancing nerfs, this build will undoubtedly retain its throne as the premier S-Tier Warlock build of the season!

Next, we will provide you with a comprehensive breakdown of the gameplay mechanics behind this Summon Tainted Blood Boil Warlock build, helping you kick off Ladder Season 14 with a mindless farming setup that lets you speed-run content with ease!

Warlock Class Rework

Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the adjustments made to Warlock class in D2R Season 14 and how they impact Summon Tainted Blood Boil build. 

Although Warlock was only recently introduced to the game in Season 13, via Reign of the Warlock expansion, it did not initially possess the overwhelming, tier-breaking advantage that other launch classes often enjoy right out of the gate. On the contrary, the class and its builds faced significant skepticism throughout Season 13 because of underlying mechanical issues; however, the arrival of Season 14 has completely turned the tide.

Synergy between Blood Boil and Summon Tainted

First and foremost, the synergistic damage intended between Blood Boil and Summon Tainted skills simply wasn't functioning correctly in Season 13. Fortunately, the 3.2 PTR addressed this issue, granting a massive bonus of up to 30% increased Fire Damage per skill level. This means that in its fully optimized endgame state, a single Tainted Demon minion can now dish out approximately 45,000 DPS, a truly game-breaking level of power! 

Evidently, the developers didn't want a single build to be quite so dominant; consequently, in the official release of Season 14, they reduced its synergy bonus to 20%. Although the damage output is slightly lower compared to PTR, it remains an exceptionally powerful and viable build!

Gear & Skill Affix Bugs

Additionally, in the past, affixes such as +3 to Fire Skills, provided by items like Magefist or the Flickering Flame Runeword, did not correctly apply to Summon Tainted skill. However, this bug was completely resolved in Season 14, allowing the bonuses from fire-based gear to stack perfectly on your summoned minions, resulting in a massive leap in performance.

Attack Speed ​​Display Issues

Finally, they also fixed a visual bug where attack speed bonuses, derived from Demonic Mastery and other sources, were not correctly displayed in Summon Tainted skill tooltip. You can now fully manage your Warlock build with complete confidence and clarity.

Skill Tree

Now, let's take a look at the skill tree setup for Summon Tainted/Blood Boil hybrid build. The core logic behind this build is as follows: rely primarily on the massive fire damage output from Summon Tainted, utilize the physical damage from Blood Boil as a secondary source to clear fire-immune monsters, and leverage curses to provide crowd control and target positioning.

Chaos Skills

• Sigil Death / Death Mark: 1 point. Not only does this trigger additional corpse explosions to accelerate clearing speed, but more importantly, it allows you to position and gather your Demon Tainted minions, directing their attacks precisely where you need them.
• Sigil: Lethargy: 1 point. Used to handle high-damage bosses or dangerous elite packs, providing extremely potent crowd control through significant movement speed reduction.

Eldritch Skills

No points required here. This section contains no skills that offer any substantial benefit to this specific build, so you can skip it entirely.

Demon Skills

• Golem: 1 point (prerequisite skill).
• Summon Tainted: 20 points. Your core primary damage-dealing skill; summons fire-breathing demonic turrets.
• Blood Boil: 20 points. The core synergy skill for Summon Tainted, and also your primary source of physical damage when facing fire-immune monsters.
• Demonic Mastery: 20 points. Provides absolutely critical bonuses to damage, attack speed, and burst potential for your Demon Tainted minions.
• Blood Oath: 20 points. Prioritize this over Engorge (listed below) to maximize the damage output of Blood Boil.
• Engorge: Invest all remaining skill points here. Used to further round out skill synergies.

Stat Points

Regarding the stat allocation for Summon Tainted Blood Boil build, there is only one aspect we need to focus on: Vitality. With the exception of the minimum Strength required to equip all end-game gear, invest every remaining stat point into Vitality.

Thanks to a robust base Life pool, this build can easily reach over 2000 Life even without any active buffs. As this is a summoner-style build, your character, the caster, remains safely positioned behind your Demon Tainted minions while dealing damage; consequently, there is no need to obsess over achieving absolute perfection in Resistances and Defense, resulting in an exceptionally high safety margin.

Endgame Gear Setup

This build is hyper-focused on maximizing Fire and Demon skills, achieving high Cast Speed, and minimizing enemy Fire Resistance as much as possible. Therefore, when selecting gear, we prioritize the following items for your consideration:

• Weapon: Mang Song's Lesson
• Jewel: Defender's Fire
• Helmet: Flickering Flame Runeword
• Amulet: Mara's Kaleidoscope
• Gauntlets: Magefist
• Belt: Arachnid Mesh
• Ring 1: Stone of Jordan
• Ring 2: Opalvein
• Boots: Wraithstep

Mercenaries

Regarding Mercenaries, to push your damage output to the absolute limit, we highly recommend recruiting an Act II Desert Mercenary equipped with Holy Freeze crowd-control Aura. Not only does this provide a wide-area slow effect (CC), but the mercenary's core gear setup also serves as the foundation for dealing truly astronomical damage.

Notably, we utilize Infinity Runeword on the mercenary's weapon. Veteran players will undoubtedly be familiar with this item; while it is extremely expensive, its inherent Conviction Aura, when combined with other specific Runewords, can effectively reduce enemy Fire Resistance into negative territory.

How to farm with ease?

Honestly, this build offers an incredibly smooth gameplay experience, even within Terror Zones. This is particularly evident when encountering large packs of monsters: you can instantly use Death Mark to tag key targets, prompting your Demon Tainted minions to focus their fire on them immediately.

From there, simply maintain a safe distance while casting Sigil of Death to trigger chain reactions of Corpse Explosion, all while relentlessly bombarding the mob with Blood Boil. Even if you encounter monsters with exceptionally high Fire Resistance, Physical damage component of Blood Boil, combined with the focused assault from your Summon Tainted minions, will instantly vaporize them.

In summary, Summon Tainted Blood Boil hybrid build perfectly encapsulates the true essence and allure of Warlock class as a master summoner of the infernal realms. Not only does it boast top-tier damage output, but it also offers an exceptionally high margin for operational error. If you are looking for a premier starter build for Diablo 2: Resurrected Season 14, one that allows for mindless, effortless farming while easily handling any immune monsters, then this build is absolutely the perfect choice for you.

Have you heard the roar of engines echoing through the streets of Tokyo? That's right - the early access period for Forza Horizon 6 has begun! You can start from nothing and rise through the street racing ranks, much like Sean did in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

Can't wait any longer? You're probably wondering how to jump right into your Japanese racing adventure. Let's break down what you need to do.

Forza Horizon 6 Early Access Date

Forza Horizon 6 unlocks on Xbox and PC on May 19, but players with early access get to enter the game four days ahead of schedule. On Xbox consoles and PC Xbox App, this early entry typically begins at 12:01 AM local time on May 15. A few regions get it slightly earlier.

• United States: May 14 at 9:01 PM (Pacific Time) / 11:01 PM (Central Time)
• Other Regions: Most unlock at 12:01 AM local time on May 15.

For players on Steam, the early access launch follows a unified schedule:

• PDT: Thursday, May 14, 9:01 PM
• CDT/CST: Thursday, May 14, 11:01 PM
• EDT: Friday, May 15, 12:01 AM
• BST: Friday, May 15, 5:01 AM
• CEST: Friday, May 15, 6:01 AM
• CST: Friday, May 15, 12:01 PM

• KST: Friday, May 15, 1:01 PM
• AEST: Friday, May 15, 2:01 PM
• NZST: Friday, May 15, 4:01 PM

Early access is now fully underway, so you can log in right now and tear through Japan's cities and countryside. However, some players who pre-ordered the game may still find themselves locked out, likely because their version doesn't grant early access eligibility.

How to Get Early Access?

Not everyone who pre-orders can enter early. Currently, the only way to get a four-day head start is with Premium Edition. Even Deluxe Edition won't get you past the gate.

If you're feeling impatient, you can either upgrade directly to Premium Edition or get Premium Upgrade to unlock early access. Beyond the new cars, upgrading to the higher tier also gives you a boost that helps you earn more Forza Horizon 6 Credits in the early stages of the game.

Here's what each version includes:

Standard Edition ($69.99)

• Full base game
• Pre-order bonus: Ferrari J50 (pre-tuned, exclusive)
• No early access

Deluxe Edition ($99.99)

• Full base game

• Welcome Pack (5 pre-tuned cars + 1 Car Voucher + 3 clothing tickets)
• Car Pass (30 cars, 1 per week)
• No early access

Premium Edition ($119.99)

System Requirements

You might jump at the chance to grab Premium Edition, only to find your hardware struggling to keep up - with the sound of your fans whining even louder than the car engines in the game. So before you commit, it's a wise move to check the official system requirements.

Minimum Requirements

• CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 5600
• GPU: GTX 1650
• RAM: 16 GB

This setup delivers a smooth 60-frame experience at 1080p native resolution with low graphics settings. For reference, in Forza Horizon 5, GTX 1650 can average around 60–70 frames at high settings (1080p), and can even reach 90–100 frames on low settings. That means FH6's low settings may actually look better than the previous game's low settings, while demanding slightly more performance - dropping from 100 to 60 frames. For a sequel, that's a superb optimization job.

Recommended Requirements

• CPU: Intel Core i5-12400F or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (both 6-core, 12-thread)
• GPU: GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (8GB VRAM) / Radeon RX 6700 XT (12GB VRAM) / Intel Arc A580 (8GB VRAM)
• RAM: 16 GB
• Storage: SSD

This setup targets 1440p resolution, high graphics settings, and over 60 frames. In FH5, an 8GB graphics card running at 4K ultra settings may start swapping data to system memory after extended play due to VRAM constraints.

But the game's excellent memory management means you'll rarely face major stuttering - just minor performance hiccups. So RTX 3060 Ti and A580 should handle 1440p high settings without trouble, while RX 6700 XT's 12GB of VRAM gives you room for even sharper texture detail.

Extreme Requirements

• CPU: Intel Core i7-12700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
• GPU: GeForce RTX 4070 Ti (12GB VRAM) / Radeon RX 7900 XT (20GB VRAM)
• RAM: 24 GB
• Storage: NVMe SSD

This setup gets you 4K native resolution, ultra settings, and over 60 frames. And it's far from top-tier - compared to many newer games, FH6 is clearly more approachable in its optimization. 12GB of VRAM is plenty for 4K ultra settings, while the RX 7900 XT's 20GB of VRAM offers even more headroom.

If you're chasing maximum ray tracing, you'll want to step up to a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti or Radeon RX 9070 XT, and Memory should also be upgraded to 32GB.

In short, if your current machine runs Forza Horizon 5 without breaking a sweat, it'll handle FH6 just fine. So go ahead and secure that Premium Edition to get your early access underway.

Perhaps due to two previous delays, players are eager to avoid any further disappointment; consequently, discussions regarding the release timing of the third GTA 6 trailer and the commencement of pre-orders have recently reached a fever pitch.

Fortunately, leaked information regarding the start date for pre-orders has surfaced, and it appears to be quite credible! Below, we will walk you through these details and analyze the potential trajectory of the game's rollout moving forward.

Possible pre-order release date

According to the leaked information, it is anticipated that Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-order could open on May 18, 2026, this coming Monday, and certainly no later than May 21.

This speculation stems from the fact that one of the prominent retail partners for physical copies of GTA series, recently launched a new promotional campaign with a specific timeframe spanning from May 18 to May 21, 2026.

Although the source of this campaign information is an email from this company's affiliate program, the news has since been corroborated by multiple professional media outlets and industry insiders.

Interestingly, the game's official news portal has not yet published any content or announcements regarding GTA 6 pre-orders. However, by next Monday at the very latest, they are bound to make a move!

What might the pre-order content include?

Once pre-orders go live, you will not only discover the game's specific pricing but will also likely see various editions of the game made available.

For GTA 6, we can expect, at a minimum, a Standard Edition and a Premium Edition; the latter, in addition to the base game, will probably include a host of exclusive in-game items and bonuses.

Naturally, it is also highly probable that a Collector's Edition will be released. Based on precedents set by previous titles in the series, GTA 6 Collector's Edition is expected to encompass all the content found in the other two editions, while also granting you certain exclusive privileges or perks.

Furthermore, coinciding with the launch of pre-orders, Grand Theft Auto 6 may also gradually unveil its official logo and cover art, details that are sure to generate plenty of excitement and anticipation among fans.

Reduced likelihood of further delays

While the accuracy of the specific pre-order date cannot be absolutely guaranteed, it certainly appears to be just around the corner.

Once pre-orders officially commence, the game's final release date, under normal circumstances, should be locked in and no longer subject to change.

So, if you previously harbored doubts about Grand Theft Auto 6 due to fears of yet another delay, you can now put those concerns to rest and immediately look to IGGM GTA 6 Store as your trusted choice!

Through our secure and rapid services, we ensure that once the game launches, you will be able to unlock more content and items faster than anyone else, guaranteeing you the ultimate GTA 6 experience.

Evidence from other channels

While the aforementioned leaks serve as key indicators, a host of new marketing initiatives across various other platforms provide powerful corroboration.

For instance, if you are a veteran player who still plays GTA 5 on a PS4, you likely received a recent notification from PlayStation urging you to upgrade your console to a PS5 in preparation for the launch of GTA 6 on November 19.

With six months still remaining until that date, PlayStation certainly wouldn't have sent out such an email out of the blue, unless, of course, there was imminent activity surrounding the game itself.

Another piece of evidence comes from one special magazine. Prior to the launch of GTA 5, this magazine exclusively revealed a wealth of related information; this past Thursday, they published an article regarding a leaked timeframe for GTA 6 pre-orders.

Although the article suggests that the May 18-21 window might merely be a promotional lead-up period established by that retail company for GTA 6 pre-orders, implying the actual start date could be later, truth be told, it can't be much longer now!

Further corroboration comes from an intriguing discovery made by players. While examining the GTM analytics scripts embedded in GTA 6 webpage, someone stumbled upon a hidden event labeled CTA pre-order.

CTA typically stands for Call to Action, an instruction designed to guide users toward taking a specific step. While this doesn't directly confirm that pre-orders are about to open, it certainly indicates that a pre-order system is actively being built.

The final piece of evidence originates from the developers of GTA 6 themselves. In their recent official posts, the color schemes predominantly feature the distinct thematic palette of GTA 6.

Furthermore, the developers have pinned the game's second official trailer to the top of their feeds across all their social media platforms.

Interestingly, the release date displayed at the very end of that trailer remains May 26, 2026, a pivotal date that is now less than two weeks away.

While we cannot guarantee that there will definitely be any developments regarding the game before May 26th, just imagine: if you were a new player, unfamiliar with GTA 6, who watched this trailer after the 26th only to discover that pre-orders hadn't even opened yet, you would undoubtedly feel deceived!

Finally, with pre-orders now underway, we believe the release of Trailer 3 is just around the corner. Let's look forward to even more surprises coming our way next week!

Monopoly Go Wonderland Adventures introduces a fresh and engaging new mode: you and your friends need to collect Adventure Club Tokens to complete tasks. Among the best ways to gather these tokens is Beanstalk Bonanza banner event and its milestones.

Beanstalk Bonanza banner event lasts for two days, with Adventure Club tokens almost evenly distributed across the milestones. Let's see what smarter collection strategies are available.

Date

Beanstalk Bonanza banner event starts almost at the same time as the Wonderland Adventures event, though it lasts for a shorter period. Here are the exact date:

• Start: May 13, 17:00 UTC / May 13, 10:00 PT / May 13, 13:00 ET
• End: May 15, 17:00 UTC / May 15, 10:00 PT / May 15, 13:00 ET

Thus, even after Beanstalk Bonanza concludes, there is no rush to use all your tokens at once. You can save them for later or discuss with your teammates how best to use them.

How to Earn Points?

To complete all 62 milestones of Beanstalk Bonanza banner event, a total of 46,400 points is required. Given the scoring mechanism, this is not an easy target. You earn points by landing on three specific tile types:

• Chance: 1 point
• Community Chest: 1 point
• Railroad: 2 points

Even when you do land on a scoring tile, you might only get 1 point. Considering the total points needed for 62 milestones, skipping some milestone rewards may be a wiser choice.

If you choose to control the rolls manually, you can set a multiplier before a Railroad tile. This is not only because it yields 2 points, but also because this tile helps you earn points in the tournament as well. A successful landing on Railroad with an active multiplier saves dice in the long run.

Beanstalk Bonanza Banner Event Rewards

Throughout the milestones of Beanstalk Bonanza banner event, only 136 Adventure Club Tokens are available. The tricky part is that to collect all of them, you need to complete 61 milestones. If you only finish half, say 30 milestones, you will get just 65 tokens.

If your main goal is Monopoly Go stickers, it is recommended to aim for the 27th milestone. In addition to sticker packs, you will also receive 58 tokens. For those with a strong dice reserve, attempting the 48th milestone could be worthwhile, granting roughly 95 tokens and 8,705 dice.

Below is an overview of the main rewards from Beanstalk Bonanza banner event:

• 18,205 Dice
• 136 Adventure Club Tokens
• 2 Green Sticker Packs
• 1 Yellow Sticker Pack
• 1 Pink Sticker Pack
• Random Boost at Milestone 4
• Builder's Bash at Milestone 18
• Color Wheel Boost at Milestone 44
• Mega Heist at Milestone 50

The following is the detailed milestone reward list for Beanstalk Bonanza banner event:

That covers everything about Monopoly Go Beanstalk Bonanza banner event. Future banner events will also reward Adventure Club Tokens, so you can plan ahead accordingly.

The arrival of Friday signals the addition of a new batch of FC 26 TOTS player cards to the game. To help you unlock them in a timely manner and to offer even more opportunities, a host of new objectives have either just arrived or are coming soon.

One of the more interesting additions is a new Seasonal Objective: Racing Towards Victory. It consists of three distinct stages, each featuring its own set of specific objectives; only upon completing all of them will you be eligible to claim the associated packs and SP rewards.

Below, we'll walk you through the specific details of this evolving objective and explain exactly how to complete it.

Racing Towards Victory release date

This evolving objective officially went live on the afternoon of May 14th. All three stages were released simultaneously, meaning you are free to progress through any stage at any time within the 21-day limited window.

What rewards can you earn?

As an evolving objective, Racing Towards Victory distributes rewards in stages; however, only Stage 3 includes player packs.

It is worth noting that the rewards for Stages 1 and 2 include items that are essential for unlocking the subsequent stages. Therefore, you cannot simply skip these earlier stages to jump directly to complete Stage 3.

Here is a breakdown of the rewards available for each stage of Racing Towards Victory:

• Stage 1: 500 SP and Racing Towards Victory Kit 2
• Stage 2: 500 SP and Racing Towards Victory Kit 3
• Stage 3: 1,000 SP and 3x 87+ Rare Gold Players Packs

Upon completing the entire Racing Towards Victory objective, you will have accumulated a grand total of 2,000 SP! This will help you rapidly advance your Season Pass progress and unlock the corresponding rewards!

How to complete Racing Towards Victory?

Each stage of Racing Towards Victory comprises three specific objectives. Completing each individual objective earns you 100 SP, while completing all objectives within a given stage is required to claim the full set of stage rewards.

Stage 1

The prerequisite for completing this stage is equipping Racing Towards Victory Kit 1. Currently, the only confirmed method for obtaining this kit is by redeeming it in Ultimate Team Store: it needs either 40,000 coins or 250 points.

Both of these currencies must be earned through active participation in daily gameplay. Additionally, points are seasonal and will reset once the current season concludes.

Given that Season 7 has only recently begun, and considering the relatively high coin requirement to unlock Kit 1, we highly recommend getting FC 26 coins for sale on IGGM directly to fulfill this requirement faster!

Once you have acquired the kit, simply equip it and complete the following three objectives to clear Stage 1:

• Play 3: Complete three matches in any Ultimate Team game mode.
• Score 3: Score three goals in any Ultimate Team game mode.
• Win 3: Secure three victories in any Ultimate Team game mode.

Highly skilled players can complete Stage 1 in as few as three matches; otherwise, the number of matches required is theoretically limitless (since you could potentially keep losing or failing to score)!

Stage 2

Upon completing Stage 1, you will receive Racing Towards Victory Kit 2 as one of your rewards. Equip this kit, then complete the exact same three objectives as in Stage 1 to claim your rewards.

Stage 3

The three objectives in this final stage are completed in the same manner as in the previous two; the only difference is that you must equip Racing Towards Victory Kit 3, which you obtained during Stage 2.

Once completed, you will receive SP rewards for this stage, as well as a pack containing 3x 87+ Rare Gold Player Items. If luck is on your side, you might even pull a currently active promo card from this pack.

How to play Ultimate Team?

Currently, Ultimate Team features a variety of specific game modes. We recommend choosing the mode you excel at most to complete these objectives quickly and avoid wasting time.

Champions

This is currently the premier competitive mode in FIFA 26, ensuring that, in addition to your objective rewards, you can earn extra TOTS players.

Rivals

This mode is based on an online ranking system; you must participate in it and climb the ranks to qualify for Champions. It is worth noting that FUT 26 has introduced optimizations to this mode.

Squad Battles

As an offline, single-player mode, Squad Battles simply requires you to play matches against AI-controlled squads, yet the rewards are by no means inferior!

Live Events

Introduced as a brand-new dynamic mode in the 2026 season, Live Events offer a wide array of customized squad requirements and match rules, providing a high degree of flexibility and entertainment value.

Gauntlets

Each round of a Gauntlet consists of five fast-paced matches; you are required to rotate your squad lineup before the start of every match.

Tournaments

FC 26 has introduced a knockout-style format for this mode. Under unique squad restrictions, you will play through a maximum of four rounds, with rewards distributed based on your final results.

Challengers

A mode better suited for beginners or casual players, though the quality of the rewards obtained is slightly more modest.

That covers everything you need to know to complete Racing Towards Victory 1-3 objectives. This evolving objective series concludes on the Thursday three weeks from now, be sure to complete it before time runs out!

MLB The Show 26 has been out for two months, and the development team shows no signs of slowing down, continuously releasing updates. They just released Update 9, which officially launched on May 14th at 4 AM Pacific Time, available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. This is a perfect opportunity to review how far MLB 26 has come since its release.

From refining the gameplay and enhancing Diamond Dynasty, to the deep overhaul of the trading logic in Franchise mode, MLB 26 has delivered satisfying results on multiple levels this year, continuously evolving through frequent patches.

This update focuses on fixing those frustrating bugs in various modes and also addresses other issues in the game.

Addressing Pain Points

PCI Anchor

The most welcome update in Update 9 is undoubtedly the fix to the long-standing PCI Anchor display problem.

For weeks, players have repeatedly pointed out misalignments in PCI Anchor and strike zone anchor positions, causing significant instability in accurate hit detection and home plate coverage.

This update finally addresses this issue effectively and should bring back the signature crisp and clean hitting experience of MLB The Show series.

Diamond Dynasty

In addition to fixing PCI Anchor problem, update 9 also brings numerous adjustments to the core game modes.

In Diamond Dynasty mode, this update allows real-time content tiles to be manipulated directly from the home tab and fixes an issue where XP wheel wouldn't display non-silver card rewards correctly.

The particularly annoying bug that could previously result in empty cards as rewards in Mini Seasons has finally been resolved in this update. Update 9 also fixes the incorrect team logo issue in Mini Seasons and resolves the display issue of letters with accents on uniforms.

These seemingly minor tweaks demonstrate that the development team is truly listening to player feedback.

Franchise

Regarding Franchise mode, the changes are more structural.

The bug that prevented arbitration offers or contract renewals when a team's roster reached the 93-player limit has been fixed. Trade counter-proposals involving budgets have also been optimized.

Furthermore, the update adds restrictions to prevent trades from exceeding the roster limit for pitchers or positional players.

The development team stated that future Live Roster updates will specifically address the realism, long-term playability, and stability of Franchise mode, with more significant rating updates expected at key points such as All-Star break, Trade Deadline, and the end of the regular season.

Updated Player Models

This update also includes a long list of updated player models:

• Luis Arraez
• Nick Gonzales
• Zach Neto
• Luinder Avila
• Lourdes Gurriel Jr
• Jeremy Pena
• Ben Brown
• PJ Higgins
• Joc Pederson
• Edward Cabrera
• Nick Kurtz
• Ted Radcliffe
• Ryan Campos
• Joel Kuhnel
• Agustin Ramirez
• Matt Chapman
• Joe LaSorsa
• Rob Refsnyder
• Patrick Corbin
• James McCann
• Austin Slater
• Aaron Civale
• Luis Medina
• Ty Southisene
• Kerry Carpenter
• Gage Miller
• Mitch Spence
• Nick Castellanos
• Carmen Mlodzinski
• Carson Spiers
• Travis d'Arnaud
• PJ Morlando
• Will Taylor
• Chris Devenski
• Andres Munoz
• James Wood
• Jake Fraley
• Cedric Mullins
• Grant Wolfram
• Tanner Gordon
• Noah Murdock
• Cole Young
• Yoendrys Gomez

For players who spend hours studying batting styles and pitching motions, these visual refinements will provide a substantial improvement.

Game Evolution Retrospective

Diamond Dynasty

Diamond Dynasty remains the soul of MLB 26, and this year the mode has received one of its most significant upgrades to date.

World Baseball Classic has been fully integrated into Diamond Dynasty, including WBC-exclusive stadiums such as Tokyo Dome and Hiram Bithorn Stadium. Players can challenge top teams from around the world with their custom lineups and earn WBC-themed cards.

The revamped Parallel XP is also a highlight this year, offering unprecedented freedom in player development. It also introduces Red Diamond rarity level, containing top-tier player cards that surpass traditional diamond levels, enough to change the course of a game.

The competitive side of Diamond Dynasty has also been simplified. The development team focuses the spotlight entirely on the Legend bracket. This means fewer divisions but a higher concentration of players, creating a more competitive environment.

Simultaneously, the prize pool has been increased across the board to match the higher level of competition. Legend bracket champion now receives 5,000 MLB 26 stubs plus an exclusive card pack. Celebration Series also returns with a more packed schedule and richer rewards.

Franchise

Franchise mode has arguably undergone the most dramatic changes in MLB 26. The all-new Trade Hub has become a one-stop platform for all lineup management activities, equipped with a completely rebuilt trading logic system. For the first time, you can complete a 4-for-4 trade. This adds a new dimension of complexity to lineup building.

Furthermore, speed players will no longer be automatically placed in the first batting lineup, as the system now optimizes your batting lineup by taking into account the second position and various dynamic factors.

Player degradation and progression mechanics have also been refined to simulate real-world team decision-making logic, making long-term roster planning more realistic and believable than ever before.

Whether you want to meticulously manage every playoff decision and trade negotiation, or prefer a streamlined approach to quickly progress through multiple seasons, Franchise Mode can adapt to your playstyle.

Combined with this Update 9, these changes are sure to bring players the long-awaited depth and realism.

The various bug fixes in Update 9, especially the improvements to PCI Anchor and Franchise trading logic, demonstrate the development team's dedication to refining the player experience. Go live and experience it now!

While playing Diablo 4, it is highly recommended that you keep a close eye on official announcements or statements released across various platforms; otherwise, you risk missing out on new changes that could significantly enhance your gameplay experience!

For instance, on May 13th, Diablo 4 released Patch 3.0.2, includes a fix for Aspect of Glynn's Anvil. If your character's chosen class is capable of utilizing this Aspect, you absolutely need to know the details!

Below, we will introduce Aspect of Glynn's Anvil and its recent bug fix, while also providing specific guidance for the relevant classes.

Aspect of Glynn's Anvil bug fixed

Introduced as a new Legendary Aspect in Lord of Hatred expansion, Aspect of Glynn's Anvil serves to increase your Maximum Resolve by 2 points. Furthermore, for every stack of Resolve you accumulate, you gain a damage reduction effect ranging from 2.5% to 4%.

For a period, this latter benefit, the damage reduction effect, was not functioning correctly; fortunately, this issue has now been resolved.

It is worth noting that only six classes in the game are capable of utilizing this aspect: Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Paladin, Rogue, and Spiritborn. Consequently, this recent change has no impact on players of Warlock or Sorcerer classes.

Additionally, the gear slots capable of being imprinted with Aspect of Glynn's Anvil include helms, chest armor, pants, shields, and amulets. If imprinted onto an amulet, Aspect receives an additional 50% bonus to its effects.

To unlock this aspect, you must first acquire a Legendary item that already possesses it, typically by farming various in-game events. You then need to salvage that item at The Blacksmith to permanently add the aspect to your Codex of Power.

Once saved, you can visit The Occultist to imprint Aspect of Glynn's Anvil onto a new piece of gear. We generally recommend selecting a high-quality item with strong base stats as your target piece for imprinting.

General strategy

Assuming Aspect of Glynn's Anvil is functioning correctly, the primary step in utilizing it, regardless of which of the six eligible classes you are playing, is to craft a general gear with Resolve.

If this item is subsequently Tempered and Masterworked, the potential Resolve stack count will increase even further; applying this process to an Amulet can yield an additional +12 to your Resolve stacks.

From there, your objective is simply to continuously accumulate Resolve stacks. Whenever your character sustains direct damage, these Resolve stacks will be consumed to provide you with damage reduction.

Druid

For Druid players, stacking Resolve is quite easy, as you can equip Might of the Ursine ring to automatically gain one stack of Resolve per second while in Werebear form.

Most importantly, you gain access to Obsidian Slam, which grants you one stack of Resolve whenever you cast an Earth skill. However, if you attempt to use this combo immediately before casting Cataclysm, it will not work.

Consequently, you must use Debilitating Roar while Roar is active to stack additional Resolve, or rely on Bulwark to ensure that Resolve is generated every time the skill triggers.

It is worth noting that we recommend imprinting Aspect of Glynn's Anvil onto Mythic helm Heir of Perdition; this allows you to transfer the item to other characters of different classes and continue utilizing its effects.

Barbarian

Upon introducing the imprinted Heir of Perdition, your Barbarian character will immediately start with 24 stacks of Resolve. You should then select Iron Skin, which grants two stacks of Resolve upon casting.

Subsequently, thanks to Cooldown Reduction provided by Ancient Barbarian, you can stack Resolve more rapidly, thereby gaining increased damage reduction.

Necromancer

As a Necromancer, you can command a skeletal army and apply Decrepify to enemies via Lucky Hits to generate Resolve stacks, your leg armor will automatically apply this curse.

Paladin

This class can stack Resolve via Rite of Prayer; by healing yourself and your allies, you gain two stacks of Resolve per second.

Additionally, you can pair this with Aspect of Dominance and Aspect of Interdiction, the latter increases your Block Chance based on the number of Resolve stacks you currently possess.

Spiritborn

To utilize Glynn's Anvil effectively as a Spiritborn, it is recommended that you craft a gorilla build, which makes stacking Resolve significantly easier.

This type of build primarily functions through poison buffs and Rushing Claw; you can then easily generate Resolve using Rock Splitter and Crushing Hand combo.

In fact, Spiritborn has numerous sources for generating Resolve. For instance, Aspect of Kinetic Suppression grants you three stacks of Resolve whenever you cast a non-basic mobility skill (such as Rushing Claw).

Alternatively, Aspect of Tenacity allows you to gain one stack of Resolve for every 15 points of Spirit generated while you are at maximum Spirit capacity.

Rogue

As a Rogue, you can primarily gain additional stacks of Resolve by casting Dash skill. Furthermore, Concealment also provides you with Resolve.

Moreover, Cold Imbuement and Poison Trap skills can generate even more stacks of Resolve. Consequently, for this class, stacking Resolve presents absolutely no challenge.

Although the remaining two classes cannot utilize Aspect of Glynn's Anvil, they can still stack Resolve through other means, such as Aspect of Dominance, which is mentioned in this guide. If you are interested, feel free to experiment with them yourself!

If you want to enjoy the buffs provided by Aspect of Glynn's Anvil as quickly as possible, the best method is to buy Diablo 4 items on IGGM!

Here, you can find a wide variety of gear pieces that already have this aspect imprinted on them; simply trade for the items that suit your character's needs and equip them immediately! There is no need to go through the hassle of farming or imprinting!

Among the two new Ascendancy classes in Path of Exile 2, Spirit Walker offers one of the most varied - and arguably the most entertaining - playstyles. It allows you to capture beasts from the story campaign and have them fight by your side, much like taming creatures in a certain monster-collecting franchise.

These beasts are not limited to rare monsters; you can even use this skill to capture some troublesome bosses. Turning a difficult enemy into an ally is a remarkably cool idea, and players interested in this build will naturally want to know which beasts can become their most powerful companions.

Natural Order

Spirit Walker Ascendancy class's most impactful skill is called Natural Order. This ability permits players to tame Unique Beasts - that is, boss-level monsters. Moreover, tamed beasts receive a movement speed bonus and are possessed by random Azmeri Spirits, granting them additional area-of-effect abilities.

During an interview, the official development team behind Path of Exile 2 stated that tamed beasts would receive a triple damage bonus - they want players to truly rely on these bosses for dealing damage. However, they have not revealed which bosses can be tamed. Therefore, the evaluations below are speculative, based on players' combat experiences with these bosses, not on official data. For different bosses serving as followers, factors such as skill frequency, AI behavior, and survivability will all affect their actual performance.

Act 1

The Devourer (Tier C)

• Location: Mud Burrow

The Devourer frequently burrows underground to avoid damage, during which it does not attack. This passive behavior is a major flaw in a follower - players need an aggressively offensive ally. Lacking effective area damage, its overall performance is likely poor.

The Crowbell (Tier B)

• Location: Hunting Grounds

The Crowbell moves swiftly and has clean, crisp attack animations. It strikes a giant bell to deal respectable melee area damage. Since enemies won't deliberately dodge, its clear speed should be promising. However, a pure melee style may lead to survivability issues, and its health pool is lower than that of other bosses, so it might die frequently.

Count Geonor (Tier S)

• Location: The Iron Manor

In his wolf form, Count Geonor possesses terrifying area damage and a powerful guided ice spear ability. However, since he transforms from a humanoid leader, he likely cannot be classified as a beast. If capturable, he would undoubtedly be S-tier.

Act 2

Rathbreaker (Tier C)

• Location: Vastiri Outskirts

Rathbreaker has acceptable attack speed, with most attacks being narrow cones or small circles. But it lacks large-area AoE, and its signature arrow volley may come from off-screen minions rather than its own skill. If that ability does not belong to it, its value drops significantly.

Ekbab, Ancient Steed (Tier C)

• Location: The Bone Pits

Ekbab, Ancient Steed moves slowly. Its large size provides decent base area coverage, but it is also pure melee. It gains an enrage skill after another summoner boss dies, but that may not carry over as a follower. However, if its health pool is extremely high, it could work well with builds that scale off life.

Constrictor Queen Kabala (Tier B)

• Location: The Lost City of Keth

Constrictor Queen Kabala is a ranged-attack boss with solid area skills. If the snakes it summons during combat count as its own abilities, that could bring extra summoning synergies. It also has a projectile basic attack. If it uses that attack frequently and creates overlapping ground explosions, its potential increases further.

Act 3

Silverback Blackfist (Tier A)

• Location: Jungle Ruins

Silverback Blackfist has an excellent design. It delivers large-area AoE and high damage. The only drawback is that some of its slam animations have a wind-up, which may reduce damage output efficiency.

Xyclucian, the Chimera (Tier A)

• Location: Chimeral Wetlands

This creature has many different skills, each dealing different damage types. Its animations are fast and clean. The downside is that its skill set is too scattered to receive effective bonuses from a single damage type or curse. It is a cool follower but difficult to build around.

Act 4

Great White One (Tier A)

• Location: Whakapanu Island

Great White One's tail swipe is a wide-area sweep. The key is its summoned tornado skill - if the tornado is the boss's own ability rather than a terrain mechanic, it would greatly improve clear speed.

Blind Beast (Tier D)

• Location: Isle of Kin

Blind Beast, compared to other bosses in Path of Exile 2, feels more like an ordinary rare monster than a unique boss. Its model is small, its movements are slow, its attacks are weak, and it has no distinctive features.

Yama the White (Tier B)

• Location: Halls of the Dead

Yama the White is fast and has decent AoE, but its combat mechanics are numerous, and it is uncertain which will carry over. Some of its flashy animations may also slow down the pace of battle.

Scourge of the Skies (Tier S)

• Location: Shrike Island

Scourge of the Skies barely moves, but all its skills have enormous range and extremely high damage. It can summon small birds, and has abilities like tornadoes, blood rain, and a channeled vomit attack. It deals primarily physical damage - a single damage type - meaning you can further enhance its output through support gems. Overall, it holds great potential.

Diamora, Song of Death (Tier D)

• Location: Singing Caverns

Diamora, Song of Death has a human form and a beast form that differ greatly. Its core abilities - water spouts and shrieks - have small areas, and many of its mechanics are likely exclusive to its arena. As a follower, its performance may be completely different from its boss version.

Interlude

The Abominable Yeti (Tier A)

• Location: Howling Caves

The Abominable Yeti shares similar moves with Silverback Blackfist - AoE, damage, and speed - making it equally powerful. However, Silverback Blackfist appears as early as Act 3, giving it a relative advantage.

Rakkar, the Frozen Talon (Tier A)

• Location: Glacial Tarn

Rakkar, the Frozen Talon has respectable AoE and solid damage, but some of its skills have a casting time of up to three seconds, which would slow down the pace during fast clear mapping.

Trial of Chaos

Uxmal, the Beastlord (Tier A)

• Location: Temple of Chaos

Uxmal is essentially the same as Xyclucian, the Chimera - three-headed, winged, with a wide variety of moves, large-area AoE, and multiple damage types. Its strengths and issues are identical.

Chetza, the Feathered Plague (Tier S)

• Location: Temple of Chaos

Chetza can be considered an upgraded version of Scourge of the Skies. Its tornado skill is exceptionally powerful, and many players have fallen to it on their first encounter. Its damage is beyond question. As long as its AI favors frequent tornado use, you will have unparalleled clear speed.

Bahlak, the Sky Seer (Tier A)

• Location: Temple of Chaos

Bahlak, the Sky Seer also possesses highly promising tornado-based clear skills. However, it has a variety of other moves as well, so it may not prioritize using its best clearing ability.

The above is a list of all currently discovered tamable leaders. Please note that all ratings involve uncertainty; actual performance can only be verified after the version goes live. Hopefully, this guide helps you plan which targets you want to tame in advance.

Spirit Walker Ascendancy class will be a popular choice in Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.5.0, which will also increase the value of related gear. But don't worry, you can buy cheap and fast PoE 2 currency at IGGM, allowing you to easily trade for the gear and weapons you want even during the early stages of the game!

In WoW TBC Classic Anniversary Phase 2, threat sets are becoming increasingly important for tanks. Don't think that Protection Warriors have to max out their Survival stat to take on high-difficulty bosses. Let me tell you, threats are not optional, but essential. They help DPS deal more damage and improve the overall efficiency of the raid.

Protection Warrior Misconceptions

Currently, many new Protection Warrior players think that gear with dodge, parry, or block is good gear, and that hit, crit, and expertise are only for DPS.

This thinking is seriously outdated in TBC. Especially in Phase 2, the tank's threat generation ability directly determines the raid's ceiling.

For Protection Warriors, they need 490 Defense skill to be immune to critical strikes. But this number is just a threshold, not necessarily the higher the better. Just aim for around 490; any extra slots can be used to stack threat stats.

Players can gain 5 Defense skill points through Anticipation talent. Head, shoulders, and bracers can all be enchanted to increase defense rating. Choose all other gear slots that increase threat.

The Consequences of Over-Stacking Survival Attributes

Over-stacking survival attributes will cause a chain of negative consequences: insufficient rage, low hit chance, and inadequate threat.

If a tank's dodge, parry, and block are too high, most boss attacks will be avoided, resulting in very little actual damage taken. Protection Warriors primarily gain rage from being attacked.

Without rage, you cannot unleash core abilities like Heroic Strike. The end result is that while you're very tanky, you're like an unmovable rock.

Even with rage, if your hit rating is insufficient, your Heroic Strike, Shield Slam, and Revenge will have a high chance of missing.

Protection Warriors require at least 120 hit rating, approximately 7%. If the team has a Balanced Druid providing Improved Faerie Fire, you can aim for near-full hit chance. Otherwise, aim for at least 9%. A tank that frequently misses is essentially giving up threat.

When the tank's threat level falls behind, DPS are either forced to stop, losing significant damage, or risk recklessly attacking and dying. In either case, the fight will be prolonged, the healer's mana will be depleted, and ultimately, the raid will wipe.

This wipe is 100% the tank's fault, as the tank could have avoided it with proper gear.

Core Gear Principle

Our gear principle is to reserve all threat-oriented items for necklaces, rings, and trinkets.

A simple and brutal rule: regardless of your other gear, always choose threat-oriented items for your necklace, two rings, and two trinkets. This is a fundamental ironclad rule for Protection Warrior.

For example, many novice Protection Warriors see Violet Signet of the Great Protector with its armor and defense rating and think it's a tank godsend. However, the correct choice is actually Violet Signet of the Master Assassin, as it provides a significant boost to hit rating and attack power.

A tank with full hit rating and high attack power will see Shield Slam and Heroic Strike damage and threat far outweigh the benefits of a little armor.

Some relatively easy-to-obtain threat-boosting gear, such as General's Plate Greaves, General's Plate Bracers, General's Plate Belt, and Sergeant's Heavy Cloak, are highly recommended for novice Protection Warriors.

These items come with resilience, critical strike chance, and strength. Resilience can partially replace defense rating, while critical strike chance and strength directly increase threat output.

Furthermore, these items can be enchanted. If you're concerned about survivability, you can enchant your bracers with defense rating and your cloak with agility or defense.

Of course, PvP gear is just an easy entry-level path, not the only solution.

Gear Alternatives

The gear mentioned above mostly requires Honor Points and Marks of Honor. However, in TBC Phase 2, there are still some threat items that can be obtained without farming Honor Points or spending WoW TBC Classic Anniversary gold.

• Trinket Combination: Bloodlust Brooch (obtained from Badge of Justice) and Abacus of Violent (dropped by The Mechanar). These two trinkets provide a total of over 120 attack power. Activating them simultaneously at the start or during a burst phase can instantly generate massive threat, allowing DPS to unleash their full potential from the outset.
• Badge of Justice Items: Necklace of Eternal Hope (with hit rating) and Cloak (Blood Knight War Cloak), obtained from Badge of Justice, are excellent threat-generating pieces. Badge of Justice gear can be reliably obtained by farming Heroic Mode and Karazhan.
• Flexible Mix and Match: Players can freely combine threat gear from different sources based on their farming path. The core idea is: while ensuring crit resistance, the more hit, expertise, and crit chance you have, the stronger your threat generation.

Environmental Changes

Why is this strategy more important in BCC Phase 2 than in Phase 1? Because Phase 2 introduces more threat reset mechanics.

In Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep, multiple bosses and mobs possess abilities that reset a target's threat or change the threat list. If this happens, the tank must rebuild the threat very quickly.

If your hit and threat DPS are insufficient, the boss will immediately turn to chase DPS or healers, causing a wipe.

DPS players won't wait for you. Whether it's due to insufficient rage or too many misses, DPS players won't stop to let you slowly rebuild your threat. That's just the way it is; don't expect your teammates to accommodate you.

The phase has changed, and tanks must evolve in BCC Anniversary Phase 2. Over-defense is a stumbling block to team progress.

ARC Raiders third expedition has now come to a close, leaving many players once again with nothing. Weapons, blueprints, workbenches - everything must be restarted from scratch.

While revisiting the progression curve can be enjoyable, the lack of top-tier gear to protect yourself is bound to cause some unease. Veteran players already know where to find materials and weapons, but blueprints remain the safest and most reliable option. Below are some of the most popular methods for acquiring blueprints after Third Expedition.

Reinforced Reception

Speedrunning Reinforced Reception area on The Blue Gate map is currently the most efficient way to obtain Augment blueprints. Predictably, however, this spot is highly contested. Either ambitious PvP players lurk nearby, or PvE players who arrived first have already looted the place clean.

The strategy itself is straightforward: go in empty-handed, or bring a few health syringes at most, then rush straight to the Reinforced Reception, break into the lower room, and search for Augment blueprints. The real challenge lies in spawn point RNG.

Your spawn must be close enough for a chance to arrive first. If the distance exceeds 300 meters, it's best to exit and restart immediately - anything else wastes precious testing time, as another player has likely already beaten you there. However, if you manage to secure the area or get there first, the rewards are substantial.

The blueprint drop rate here is phenomenal, far surpassing any other location. But be warned: nearly every player knows the value of this spot, leading to intense competition. Encounters with multiple Shredders mid-run, or being locked inside a room by other players, are common occurrences.

Using this method, you can collect roughly 7-8 ARC Raiders blueprints within half an hour, with Augment blueprints making up the majority. f you can tolerate frequent restarts and intense battles, this is the optimal strategy for accumulating Augment blueprints.

Hurricane Caches

In theory, searching Hurricane Caches is a reliable way to obtain blueprints for rare weapons like Tempest, Vulcano, Vita, and Bobcat. You can also find Vita Spray blueprint.

In practice, however, it's a disaster. Hurricane map condition maps are filled with the deafening roar of the storm, while the ticking sound of Hurricane Caches is extremely faint. Even with external map tools to pinpoint their spawn locations, the search process remains painfully frustrating.

While you can indeed find the blueprints mentioned above at a decent efficiency, the experience is terrible. Unless you desperately need those specific rare weapon blueprints and don't mind potential hearing fatigue, this method is not recommended.

Regular Uncovered Caches

Compared to the torment of hurricane versions, the regular Uncovered Caches event is far more pleasant. Without the storm's relentless assault on your ears, you can clearly hear the caches' locations, making the search much easier.

This is extremely valuable for players who have just joined the third expedition. These caches contain a high number of loot items and drop Light Gun Parts, Medium Gun Parts, and Heavy Gun Parts blueprints at a respectable rate.

In addition, you can obtain all uncommon and rare weapon blueprints, including Osprey, Torrente, Venator, and Anvil. The only downside is that Canto blueprint does not drop here.

While overall efficiency is lower than Reinforced Reception speedrun, the experience is far better, competition is minimal, and this method helps you quickly fill out your collection of basic blueprints and attachments in the early game of ARC Raiders.

Indoor Looting During Hurricane Map Condition

Hurricane map condition features a modifier that doubles item drops, significantly increasing the chance of finding high-level attachment blueprints in containers. So if you're willing to give up the maddening outdoor cache hunt, you can focus on an efficient indoor container loop. The strategy revolves around your spawn point: quickly loot storage boxes and containers in nearby villages or buildings.

The inherent blueprint drop pool of containers overlaps with the event-exclusive attachment blueprint pool, meaning a single blueprint you obtain can come from a very broad pool. For example, you might get an Extended Shotgun Mag or a regular weapon blueprint.

In a normal 30-minute match, this yields about three to four blueprints plus some weapon attachments. It's an efficient and relatively comfortable net-casting strategy, especially effective for expanding your attachment blueprint collection - and far less painful than the outdoor search.

Close Scrutiny

Killing Surveyors within the core area of Close Scrutiny yields roughly a 10% blueprint drop chance. There are many Surveyors, but the area is filled with Vaporizers and arc towers, meaning you'll need a solid gear setup to enter, and you face a high risk of death.

Surveyors' drop pool is extremely broad, even including the rare Looting Mk. 3 (Survivor), but results are heavily RNG-dependent. You might go two or three matches without seeing one.

If you have good enough gear and are prepared to death, this is an engaging approach. It's risky, but once you're fully equipped, it serves as a fun lottery-style method.

Stella Montis

Stella Montis is one of the most loot-dense areas in ARC Raiders, exclusively offering key blueprints such as Seeker Grenade, Deadline, Trailblazers, Gas Mines, and Pulse Mines.

The best strategy here is also to go in empty-handed and only loot containers next to your spawn point - because everyone else is doing the same. Crossing the entire map is pointless; your rewards depend entirely on spawn luck. If you absolutely need Seeker Grenade and Deadline blueprints, this is where you must wish for good fortune.

These are the most effective blueprint farming methods after the third expedition. Each comes with a different level of risk, so you can choose the one that best matches your current gear stage.
