It has been almost two months since the release of Diablo 4 Season 6 and DLC Vessel of Hatred. If you have experienced them or paid attention to the relevant news, you will know that both works have received a lot of praise during the release period.

However, as time goes by, Season 7 is not far away from you. In order to make you better adapt to the next season and fix some deficiencies in Season 6 and DLC, the game developer announced through a recent campfire chat that Diablo 4 2.1 PTR will be opened on December 3. In this way, relevant data and feedback can be collected to ensure the balance, functionality and suitability of the new content.

Among all the known updates of 2.1 PTR, the changes of the new class Spiritborn are undoubtedly the most eye-catching. As a new class launched in Vessel of Hatred, it has always shown stronger performance than other classes. Although this allows players who play Spiritborn to no longer need to obtain some additional weapons, effectively saving Diablo 4 Gold, it destroys the balance of the game.

With that in mind, we’ll take a look at the overall changes coming to 2.1 PTR, with an emphasis on Spiritborn’s various tweaks.

2.1 PTR Overview

While Season 6 brought some welcome additions, the game’s developers say Season 7 will once again pack a ton of new content. The next season is expected to launch in January 2025, and in a campfire chat, the game’s producers revealed much of what you can expect in the new year, and a detailed description of the newly released PTR patch.

New Features And Highlights

The 2.1 PTR will be available from December 3 to December 10, 2024. Major highlights include the new Armory - an area in town where you can save or swap character builds with other players.

The second new addition is Witchcraft powers, including Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth and Decay. Also coming soon is the dreaded Headrotten, a new enemy available to you in Headhunt sub-area. Moreover, thanks to 2.1 PTR, Diablo 4 will later feature weaponized amphibians that you can summon using Witchcraft.

In addition, if you defeat Headrotten boss in 2.1 PTR, you will get new insertable Occult gems, new runes, many legendary aspects, and new unique items that all classes can use.

Promote Communication Between Players And Officials

In fact, if you and more other players participate in the experience of 2.1 PTR and are willing to submit relevant feedback, it will be beneficial for the official construction of the seventh season of the game, and you will get a better experience in the next season. Based on this, you can share your views through the in-game feedback tool or visit Diablo 4 PTR forum.

With Season 6 coming to an end on January 21, you will first get familiar with the new features of Season 7 after participating in PTR. Although all elements of PTR are still under development and may change, it is certain that most of the fresh content will be waiting for you in the full version in early 2025.

Adjustments And Changes To Spiritborn

Since its launch, there have been feedbacks that Spiritborn, as a new class, has too much power. In response to this, the game developers first made preliminary adjustments in the mid-term update of Season 6, and said that they would further optimize in Season 7 to ensure the balance of the game.

Therefore, 2.1 PTR is the pre-test content of Season 7, which naturally includes various changes to Spiritborn.

Skills Adjustments

Spiritborn can use many skills. In order to balance the abilities of this class, some of its available skills have been adjusted as follows:

• Enhanced Thunderspike: Vitality generation increased from 5 to 7.
• Accelerated Thunderspike: Vulnerability duration increased from 2 seconds to 3 seconds.
• Sharp Thrash: Ferocity gain increased from 1 to 2.
• Stinger: Damage increased from 70% to 77%.
• Enhanced Stinger: Damage increased from 50% of base damage to 60%.
• Concussive Stomp: Damage increased from 40% to 50%.
• Enhanced Concussive Stomp: Maximum barrier increased from 30% of maximum health to 40%.
• Invasive Payback: Cooldown reduced from 15 seconds to 8 seconds.
• Touch of Death: The group ignores invincible enemies.
• Razor Wings: Maximum active Razor Wings increased from 12 to 15.

Changes To Spirit Hall

As one of the important mechanisms available to Spiritborn, Spirit Hall has also received many changes. Take Centipede Primary Spirit Hall as an example. In the past, when you hit an enemy with Centipede skill, its damage would be reduced by 2.5%, and it would be slowed by 10% for 3 seconds, which could be stacked up to 8 times.

When you enter 2.1 PTR, hitting an enemy with Centipede will reduce its damage by 2%, slow it by 10%, and cause 70% poison damage in 6 seconds, which can be stacked up to 8 times. In addition, the delay before the rewards of Eagle Secondary Spirit Hall are reset has been increased from 2 seconds to 4 seconds.

In fact, the entire 2.1 PTR update content covers all aspects and is very rich. It is completely worth your experience. After all, this will also help you prepare for Season 7 in advance.

In addition, if you want to accumulate more game materials recently, you can enter IGGM Discord, where the eighth giveaway event for Diablo 4 Season 6 is being held. It is worth noting that today is the last day of the event. We will draw 20 players to get an average of 5000 Andariel Materials, 5000 Duriel Materials, 20000 Living Steel and 20000 Exquisite Blood!

The main campaign of Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred is just the beginning of the adventure. Once you complete the main story, a world of endless possibilities will open up to you. From finding and destroying demons in a vast open world to challenging those cleverly designed secret dungeons with varying degrees of difficulty, and more activities are waiting for players to explore.

Faced with such a rich selection of content, many players may not know which new things to try first. Below, we will introduce you to some suggestions to help you better enjoy the game after completing Vessel of Hatred.

7. Complete Deeds Of A Champion Quest

Deeds Of A Champion Quest will automatically unlock after you beat the main story and serve as a gateway to introduce endgame activities. If you are unsure of what to do next after completing Vessel of Hatred’s main campaign, Deeds Of A Champion Quest will be a perfect starting point.

By doing this quest, you will familiarize yourself with several key locations - Kurast Undercity, Tree of Whispers, Helltide, and Pit of the Artificer. Below, we will introduce each place and its featured activities.

6. Farm Cinders To Open Tortured Gifts

In Diablo 4’s endgame, Helltide is a core activity that provides players with a constant challenge and rich rewards. Every hour, random areas of the game’s map will be covered in Helltide, which are infested with demons and present opportunities for brave adventurers to earn loot. By defeating these demons, players can earn Aberrant Cinders, which can be used to open Tortured Gifts in Helltide.

It is important to note that when Helltide moves to a new area, your Aberrant Cinders do not transfer with it. This means that you must use them before they disappear or you will lose this hard-earned currency.

The rewards provided by Tortured Gifts are very attractive, including large amounts of Diablo 4 Gold, experience points, and the opportunity to obtain legendary or unique equipment, which are important resources for improving the strength of your characters.

To more effectively deal with Helltide, many players recommend the strategy of using Baneful Hearts to summon Blood Maiden. The Blood Maiden is a powerful ally that provides a lot of support in battle and drops numerous Aberrant Cinders and other valuable loot after defeating enemies. This makes her one of the ideal choices for fighting against Helltide.

5. Unlock Kurast Undercity

Kurast Undercity is a challenging endgame activity in Diablo 4 that can be gradually unlocked by completing Deeds of a Champion quest. This introductory quest consists of two key steps: Kurast Undercity and Undercity: Wail of the Forgotten. Once completed, you can freely explore Kurast Undercity.

Kurast Undercity is designed as a complex maze-like structure divided into three levels. The first two levels are mainly timed tasks, where you need to act quickly to overcome various obstacles and defeat the enemies that keep coming.

It is worth noting that there are some Braziers scattered throughout these two levels, which can increase your Attunement by lighting them or simply destroying the surrounding monsters. Gaining a high Attunement can increase your chances of obtaining rare rewards from the boss in the third level.

4. Participate In Infernal Hordes Activity

Before participating in Infernal Hordes activity, players need to obtain Infernal Compass. It can be crafted from Occultist or dropped as a reward from other activities such as Nightmare Dungeons or Helltide. Once you have Infernal Compass, you can participate in Infernal Hordes activity. Completing these activities will earn your Aether, which can be exchanged for rich loot after the battle.

3. Clear Nightmare Dungeons

Nightmare Dungeons are popular among players because of their high chance of dropping powerful equipment and Masterworking materials. To enter Nightmare Dungeons, you first need to complete other Nightmare Dungeons or craft them at Occultist to obtain a specific Nightmare Sigil. Clearing Nightmare Dungeons can earn Obducite, which can be used to Masterwork your gear.

2. Defeat Uber Bosses

In order to summon Uber Bosses, you need to collect specific materials, and the type of these materials depends on the boss you hope to face. Usually, these materials can be obtained by participating in other types of endgame activities, such as Nightmare Dungeons, Helltide, or World Bosses. After defeating Uber Bosses, you will obtain Uniques and Mythic Uniques.

1. Clear Dark Citadel

In Dark Citadel, multiple players need to team up to explore a large dungeon and face a series of powerful enemies and bosses together. Because of the extremely high difficulty of this mode, Dark Citadel only supports multiplayer cooperative mode, but it provides a Party Finder tool for players to recruit teammates to join their team.

Dark Citadel is divided into three wings, each with a unique environment and enemy layout, as well as powerful bosses to overcome. Dark Citadel is considered the second most difficult endgame activity in the game after Uber Bosses. Therefore, it is best to accumulate enough equipment and experience through other activities before taking on the challenge of Dark Citadel.

Through the above suggestions, we hope to help you enjoy the game better and continue to challenge yourself and improve your strength in the world of Diablo 4. Finally, if you have some better ideas to share, you can discuss with more players in IGGM discord group, and Giveaway channel will often release information about Diablo 4 product giveaways.

On November 12, the developers of Diablo 4 series held a campfire chat, mainly communicating with players and announcing the content of the mid-term patch of Season 6. Although some information about Season 7 was revealed during the period, it was still very limited.

In the following week, Diablo 4 was in the middle of Season 6, and with the release of patch 2.0.5 and the holding of some festive in-game activities, including red-cloaked horror and welcome back gifts for Eternal players, this week was very lively.

However, since Season 7 is not far away, and in order to satisfy your curiosity, on November 21, the developers held another campfire chat, mainly announcing the main updates of Season 7 and patch 2.1 PTR.

Based on this, we will introduce you to the two main updates on patch 2.1 PTR.

1. Powers Of Witchcraft

Season 6 of Hatred Rising is still in progress and is expected to end in January and enter Season 7. But in order to present a better Season 7, the game developer will release patch 2.1 PTR on December 3 and last until December 10. In this PTR, you can not only test the new patch but also get to know the new Season 7 content for the first time.

Among all the new content, the introduction of powers of Witchcraft is the first. If you have experienced Diablo 4 Season 2, you will know that you can use Vampiric powers and the addition of powers of Witchcraft in Season 7 will make it a new “seasonal power” and a new helper for you to get a lot of Diablo 4 Gold.

How To Get Witchcraft?

To get Witchcraft first in Season 7, you first need to collect a new currency, Restless Rot, by defeating Headrotten. Then head to the altar and trade Restless Rot for Witchcraft.

As for how to equip Witchcraft, it’s actually similar to Sanguine Circle in Season 2. If you haven’t experienced Sanguine Circle, it doesn’t matter. You can just find an extra tab on the character menu to do it.

Build A Witchcraft Season Reputation Board

Once you have Witchcraft, you can continue to build a reputation board specifically for Witchcraft season, and Coven’s Favor will drop from Whispers. On top of that, you will earn Resplendent Sparks again by completing Witchcraft season reputation board, helping you craft Mythic Uniques.

In addition, Whispers will also become more intense as the tree hunts for Headrotten. Headhunts will spawn in a similar area takeover style to Helltides, and feature all new Whispers activities, as well as some other activities you are familiar with. Completing these Whispers activities will give you a chance to encounter a Headrotten boss. Sending the heads of the boss to Tree of Whispers will also earn your Occult gems.

What Are Occult Gems?

As an item in Season 7, Occult gems will have a unique effect on the game and can be used to embed in item slots, thus providing you with some combat benefits. It is also worth noting that exploring Forgotten Altars in various dungeons in Sanctuary can unlock new powers. In fact, more than 20 new powers will be added in Season 7.

2. Quality Of Life Updates

Before Diablo 4 2.1 version PTR, the game developer revealed not only Armory mechanism that makes it easier to save and exchange equipment, as well as a series of other changes in the campfire chat on November 21, but also many quality of life changes. The most important of these is the change of Paragon Board.

Paragon Board Season 7 Update

According to the latest news, Paragon Board in Season 7 will allow you to customize the build you need to use after reaching the game level cap. And starting from the next season, all Paragon experience you earn throughout the season will be added to your Eternal Realm progress.

According to the development team, this Paragon experience migration mechanism will give you the opportunity to obtain rewards in Eternal Realm without having to worry about seasonal grinding.

Changes To Ancestral Legendary Items

In the future, the drop rate of Ancestral Legendary items will also be greatly increased in all levels of Diablo 4’s new Torment difficulty system. Higher drop rates can not only improve the level of game activities but also will not affect the important position of Ancestral Legendary items in the game.

In addition, starting from Season 7, Ancestral Legendary items will definitely appear at the highest end of their Legendary Aspect level.

Other Changes And Updates

Other quality of life changes mainly include a redesigned system for unique power rolls, a gem fragment converter that can create Legendary items, and updates to class tasks.

Of course, the above content is only part of the content of Season 7 and the 2.1 version PTR update. I believe that with the launch of both in the future, you will experience a more exciting Season 7.

Related: Diablo 4 Promotions & Giveaways

In addition, enter IGGM Discord now, you cannot communicate with other Diablo 4 players, but also participate in the eighth giveaway event for Diablo 4 Season 6.

We will draw 20 lucky players on December 2 to share 5000 Andariel Materials, 5000 Duriel Materials, 20000 Living Steel and 20000 Exquisite Blood equally. Remember to participate in time!

For MMORPGs, builds are one of the most efficient tools that players can use in battle, and this is also true in Diablo 4 series. A good build will effectively combine the skills, weapons, equipment and other elements available to your game character, allowing you to exert your greatest strength in battle and kill enemies faster.

In Diablo 4 series of games, Rogue has always been a popular class. It is mainly popular with players for its excellent mobility and flexibility, and the class also has many powerful weapons that can be obtained and used through Diablo 4 Gold. Based on these characteristics, you will find that this class has many builds for you to use in battle. The most classic of them is Twisting Blades Build.

In fact, this is not a new build that appeared in the sixth season, but it has appeared in previous seasons, but now it has undergone various updates and optimizations from players, making it more powerful and easier to use in Season of Hatred Rising.

With that in mind, we’re going to show you how to use Rogue’s Twisting Blades Build in Season 6.

The Right Skill Upgrade Order

If you want your Twisting Blades Build to be successful before reaching the endgame, you need to unlock the right skills, and it’s best to upgrade them in a specific order from level 1 to 50. Here’s the best skill upgrade order for the first 10 levels:

• 1. Puncture
• 2. Enhanced Puncture
• 3. Twisting Blades
• 4. Enhanced Twisting Blades
• 5. Improved Twisting Blades
• 6. Fundamental Puncture
• 7. Shadow Step
• 8. Dash
• 9. Twisting Blades
• 10. Twisting Blades

If you want to be a Rogue player who can become more powerful by using Twisting Blades Build, you should master these skills using reputation points. Doing so will make it easy to enter the endgame phase of the game with this build, regardless of whether you’re playing the campaign while upgrading.

For Season 6’s Twisting Blades Build, the core skill is of course Twisting Blades, which is the skill you use most often when dealing damage to enemies, and you can also use Shadow and Poison Imbuements to enhance Twisting Blades. However, it is worth noting that you also need Puncture to obtain energy for power Twisting Blades.

In addition, for optimal mobility, you need to make reasonable use of Shadow Step and Dash skills. They not only allow you to cross the battlefield but also weaken enemies and increase your critical hit chance.

The Most Suitable Specialization Option

If you know something about Rogue class or you have always been a Rogue player, you will know that this class has an exclusive enhancement mechanism, which is Specialization.

In Diablo 4, there are three unique Rogue Specializations for you to choose one of them to equip to further enhance your build. If you want to match it with Twisting Blades Build, we recommend that you choose Combo Points Specialization.

This way, when you use Twisting Blades Build, your basic skills will generate combo points. Once you have three points, you can consume them with core skills to gain additional combat benefits.

If you cast Puncture three times after this, you can easily use Twisting Blades to destroy groups of enemies. Puncture also helps you keep yourself supplied with energy during combat.

Because of the unique role of Combo Points Specialization, we recommend repeating some skills in the following rotation order so that your entire combat process is more coherent and effective:

• Poison Imbuement
• Shadow Step
• Puncture x3
• Twisting Blades
• Shadow Imbuement
• Dash
• Puncture x3
• Twisting Blades

After you use Poison Imbuement first, which affects Shadow Step, once you rush into a group of enemies, remember to use Puncture three times to accumulate combo points before casting Twisting Blades with Imbuement. Then use Shadow Imbuement to make the enemy vulnerable.

Then cast a Dash to slash enemies in your path, and repeat Puncture and Twisting Blades to use Combo Points Specialization ability. Finally, repeat the entire process until all enemies are defeated.

Best Legendary Aspects

With Twisting Blades Build, you can obtain many excellent Legendary Aspects through dungeons to further improve the power of this build.

• Aspect of Corruption-Renegade’s Retreat: Allows you to be more lethal to vulnerable enemies when using Imbuement skill.
• Bladedancer’s Aspect-Jalal’s Vigil: This aspect causes Twisting Blades to detour for a short time after returning to you, and each hit can also gain a certain percentage of the return damage.
• Vengeful Aspect-Inferno: Can cause further damage to vulnerable enemies, and has a chance to create Arrow Storm at the enemy’s location, causing physical damage for a short period.
• Aspect of Arrow Storms-Howling Warren: Uses Marksman and Cutthroat skills to cast Arrow Storm on enemies, causing corresponding damage.
• Aspect of Unstable Imbuements-Whispering Vault: Allows you to cause an explosion while using Imbuement skill and applies Imbuement effect to deal the same type of damage.

Best Twisting Blades Build For PVP Mode

Regarding PVP mode, we recommend that you use Twisting Blades Build for PVP Fields of Hatred. Here, this build is mainly centered on single-target damage, especially Twisting Blades, which always works against a single enemy. So it will be very suitable for dealing with relevant PVP modes.

While Twisting Blades Build performs well in PVP, you can also try using Barrage Builds. Compared to Twisting Blades Build, they will perform better in this fast-paced environment.

Hopefully, after understanding the above content, you will have a clearer idea of ​​how to use Twisting Blades Build in Season 6. If you still have any confusion, you can enter IGGM Discord to discuss with other online players and have a chance to win game prizes through the giveaway channel. Thank you for reading.

We are entering the middle of a season and most hardcore players have finished their battle passes and seasonal chapters. In a recent developer chat, the developers revealed that they are working to introduce a series of new features to attract old players who may have been confused or alienated by the large number of changes the game has undergone since launch. This guide will provide a detailed introduction to these upcoming updates.

Welcome Back Pack

Starting on November 19th, when you first play Diablo 4 Eternal Realm, you will have the option to create a brand new character and instantly increase your level to level 50 by using Welcome Back pack.

For those who haven’t played the game since launch, this may not sound like a new thing. But it is worth noting that Diablo 4 now has a maximum level cap of 60, rather than the original 100. Therefore, this benefit is very attractive to old players who want to catch up quickly.

In addition, although all the equipment you have obtained before will still remain in your account, because of the reform of the item classification mechanism, many items obtained earlier may no longer be applicable or even marked as legacy items.

In order to help everyone better integrate into the current game environment, the Welcome Back pack also includes an entire set of new legendary items. These gears are carefully crafted based on one of the three most powerful builds for your chosen class, ensuring you can face the challenges ahead in the best possible condition without having to buy Diablo 4 Gold.

In addition, the character of each returning player will automatically unlock the complete skill tree and Altars of Lilith by default. These changes will make the entire game experience smoother and more enjoyable. And you will also be able to obtain the following items:

• 1 million gold
• 1000 Obols
• 1 Scroll of Amnesia
• Crafting materials

To upgrade your character, players can go to the city of Kyovashad and interact with Fated Reliquary in the city to unlock. If you already have an Eternal character that has reached level 50, after completing this step, you can still obtain precious legendary items and exclusive build options for the profession you play.

In addition, if you also own the Vessel of Hatred expansion, this powerful upgrade will allow you to upgrade two characters at the same time in Eternal Realm. Let you enjoy a higher level of game content and challenges.

Play Spiritborn Class For Free

The development team announced that from November 19th to December 2nd, all players who do not yet own Vessel of Hatred can try the newly launched Spiritborn for free and upgrade their characters to the maximum level 25. If you finally decide to get Vessel of Hatred expansion during this period, all the progress you have made in the game before will be retained.

This free trial event provides a great opportunity for players to try this new class, feel its unique skill tree and how it fits into the existing game environment. In addition, this also allows players who are hesitant to return to Diablo 4 to have enough time to evaluate whether they really like this new content before deciding whether it is worth paying for it.

It should be noted that according to current information, this event is only supported through Battle.net platform, so users who use host devices or run the game on Steam may not participate in this special event.

Red-Cloaked Horror

Starting at 1pm ET on November 19th and ending at 1pm ET on December 3rd, Red-Cloaked Horror will reappear in Helltide. Players may encounter it in Hellborne, Infernal Hordes and dungeons. You can use a sled to drag it to obtain Cinders, Burning Aether and other bonus items, depending on where you encounter it.

In addition, after successfully defeating Red-Cloaked Horror, you will also receive a Gileon’s Brew. This elixir not only increases your damage to all enemies by 20% but also makes defeated enemies drop herbs and other crafting materials more frequently, while increasing your experience by 15%.

In order to allow all participants to enjoy the fun of this festival, the official has also arranged a special welfare link - as long as you log in to the game and go to Midwinter Square in Kyovashad during the event, you can receive a unique onetime gift package.

Mothers Blessing Events

Mother’s Blessing event will run from November 19th to November 26th, and all players who participate will enjoy multiplicative experience and gold acquisition speed bonuses, which can be used in combination with other buffs.

For example, the aforementioned Gileon’s Brew, obtained by defeating Red-Cloaked Horror. This is undoubtedly a great opportunity for players who want to reach the 300-point paragon cap as soon as possible.

The development team will hold another campfire chat event on November 21st, and players can expect to hear more about the upcoming changes and the outlook for future seasons. Finally, if you have some better game strategies to share, you can follow Giveaway channel in IGGM discord, discuss with more players in the discord group, and there will often be information about Diablo 4 product giveaways.

In the campfire chat live broadcast held on November 12, the developers of Diablo 4 revealed a lot of updates and optimizations that may be made to the game in the future. There are both prospects for the seventh season and explanations of the upcoming mid-term patch.

Regarding the specific content of the mid-term patch, the game developers mentioned many aspects in the campfire chat, but the most concerned topic is undoubtedly Spiritborn. As a new class introduced in DLC, Spiritborn has become the first choice for players to play DLC and Season 6 because of its extraordinary strength since its appearance - maybe you are one of them.

Although this can give you a good combat experience through Spiritborn, from all perspective, it is obviously not fair to players who play other classes.

Although other classes can buy Diablo 4 Gold to exchange for more powerful equipment and weapons to make up for the gap with Spiritborn, this phenomenon undoubtedly destroys the balance of the game. Therefore, there have always been calls for weakening Spiritborn since the release of DLC.

Then I believe you must also want to know whether Diablo 4 will make adjustments to the strength of Spiritborn in the upcoming mid-term patch. So let us introduce it to you.

Spiritborn Will Not Be Weakened In The Short Term

In this campfire chat, game developers said that nearly 60% of players are currently using Spiritborn, causing the remaining five classes to have a significant decline in popularity. In contrast, the most popular Sorcerer in Season 5 only attracted about 30% of players.

There is no doubt that if you have also experienced Spiritborn, you will find that the reason it is so popular is that it is very fun to play and has strong combat power, which can help you knock down monsters at an amazing speed. In fact, all this is not intentional in the game developers. It may just be that they overlooked some factors when designing Spiritborn.

Diablo 4 has already fixed some bugs that caused Spiritborn to deal too much damage, one of which was that Spiritborn could continuously release powerful streams of charged feathers, which reduced the frame rate of other online players and affected the operation of the entire game system. Fortunately, the situation has been significantly improved after the fix.

There are no other obvious system bugs for Spiritborn at present, but because of the unintentional synergy between its skills, Spiritborn is still much more powerful than a normal class should be. Given this, you might guess that Diablo 4 will give Spiritborn a proper nerf in the mid-term patch, but in fact it is not the case.

In the campfire chat, the game developers said that they will not nerf Spiritborn in the middle of Season 6, but use this patch to increase the damage output of other classes, making the competition between classes more fair than in the past.

Of course, this overall enhancement did not skip Spiritborn. While Spiritborn buffs are small compared to the buffs for other classes, this patch will buff the skills of the class that you don’t use often, which will help you develop more Spiritborn builds.

What Will Spiritborn Look Like In Season 7?

While the game’s developers have said that one goal of the mid-season patch is to raise the minimum standard for all classes, they also said that further adjustments will be made in Season 7 to bring Spiritborn level closer to that of all other classes.

Diablo 4 class designer Adam Jackson claims that in Season 7, the game will fix all unexpected interactions in Spiritborn. So you can enjoy Spiritborn, which is still very powerful now, while you look forward to Spiritborn in Season 7.

Although Diablo 4 has not yet revealed the specific changes to Spiritborn in Season 7, or given a clear range of the reduction in Spiritborn’s damage output that you might accept, you will have a chance to preview these changes before Season 7 begins.

Because after Thanksgiving, Diablo 4 will launch a PTR for you to test the upcoming Spiritborn nerfs. We currently expect Season 7 to be launched on the game’s main servers around mid-January, and Diablo 4 developers will also share more details about PTR in another live broadcast at some point next week.

Whatever adjustments Spiritborn gets, they are sure to cause some controversy. After all, it is difficult to please everyone. Since the upcoming changes are designed to fix Spiritborn’s unexpected interactions, you may experience a slightly nerfed Spiritborn later, and the situation in Season 7 may not be worse than this.

However, there are still a few months to go before Season 7, so you might as well enjoy the still-powerful Spiritborn class now and accumulate enough game materials to prepare for the new changes that will appear in Diablo 4 later.

If you want to communicate with more players about Spiritborn, remember to enter IGGM Discord. The giveaway channel here will regularly release some Diablo 4 prize information and lucky draw activities. Don’t miss it!

Diablo 4 Season 7 will focus on tracking down the reborn evil Mephisto. As one of the most iconic villains in Diablo series, Mephisto returns to the game world as Lord of Hatred, bringing players unprecedented challenges and adventures. However, before officially embarking on this exciting pursuit, make sure you have completed all the content in Vessel of Hatred expansion, because we will dive into its ending next.

It is worth noting that Diablo Season 6 and Vessel of Hatred expansion are actually two separate but closely related content released on the same day. Their stories both involve Mephisto’s return. By participating in these activities, players will learn that Mephisto is the demonic Lord of Hatred, Diablo’s brother, and the current main villain of Diablo 4.

At the end of the base game of Diablo 4, you are faced with a hard decision: what to do with Mephisto, the powerful Lord of Hatred. After a fierce battle and much deliberation, players decide that Mephisto is a greater threat to Sanctuary than Lilith, another major villain in the game.

To ensure that the demon does not threaten the world again, the heroes decide to use a magic stone to permanently lock Mephisto’s soul in Vessel of Hatred. Despite the heroes’ best efforts to prevent any possibility of this happening, Mephisto manages to escape.

Mephisto Possesses The Body Of Akarat

After Diablo 4 DLC, Mephisto’s threat has reached an all-time high. Not only has he escaped his bonds, but he has also possessed Akarat, a figure hailed as a savior in Diablo lore, making him more dangerous than ever. Akarat himself possesses powerful supernatural powers, and now these powers are being harnessed by Mephisto, making him nearly unstoppable.

Although Mephisto seems to have disappeared at the end of Vessel of Hatred, the essence of evil is immortal, and it is only a matter of time before he reappears and corrupts everything he touches.

This uncertainty casts a vast shadow on Sanctuary, as no one knows where Mephisto will appear next and how he will bring disaster. Therefore, it is crucial to buy Diablo 4 Gold to better prepare yourself, whether it is to upgrade equipment or obtain rare items.

Vessel of Hatred seems to be a magnificent tribute to Diablo 2. In Diablo 2, players witnessed the story of Diablo possessing a hero who defeated him in Diablo 1. Now, by letting Mephisto appear in human form, the series retells the classic Dark Wanderer angle in a new way.

Chasing Mephisto and witnessing his profound impact on different regions and characters undoubtedly constitute a suspenseful and exciting adventure. As he walks the world as Akarat and sows the seeds of hatred, this provides the development team with a great opportunity to carefully weave a series of gripping story chapters through the second major expansion in 2025.

Starting with Season 7, which kicks off immediately, players will first witness Akarat spreading blessings while hiding the secret curse of hatred spread by Mephisto. This season will serve as a fascinating starting point to gradually uncover the tip of the iceberg of Mephisto’s true intentions.

Road To Hatred

To achieve this goal, the development team must design seasonal content beyond the traditional framework of introducing new Helltide gimmicks or single dungeon modes. Instead, it should be deeply integrated into the storytelling, just like Season 5 did by introducing new and coherent quest lines.

In fact, looking back at Realmwalker event, it can be found that although it is very interesting in itself, if a large expansion like Vessel of Hatred does not accompany it, Season 6 will seem a little thin compared to previous seasons. Future seasonal updates should learn from and build on the revelation of Lilith’s followers’ actions after her defeat in Season 5 to build a more three-dimensional background story for the game.

The strategy adopted by the development team in Season 5 to release new quests in both seasonal and Eternal Realms was indeed a significant move, ensuring that all players can enjoy these fascinating contents, rather than just some new NPCs as background provides for the same quests.

For Season 7 and beyond, the player community expects to see more similar in-depth content, especially around Mephisto and his evil plan. Through the carefully designed quest chain, players can not only experience exciting battles in the process of tracking down this ultimate villain, but also deeply feel the progress of the story.

As for endgame content, past works in Diablo series such as Kurast Undercity, Realmwalkers, Infernal Hordes, Pit, and Dark Citadel have demonstrated its profound skills in building complex and changing game environments and enemy designs.

Players are full of expectations for how Season 7 will adjust and incorporate these classic elements, and hope to see that the developers can bring refreshing creativity and challenges while retaining the original essence.

Diablo 4 Season 6 is currently underway, and some major updates have been made in the mid-season, aiming to adjust the gameplay and enhance the class balance to improve the player experience.

The developers held an hour-long Campfire Chat live broadcast on November 12, 2024, detailing all the possible changes that players want to know about the second half of Diablo 4 Season 6.

Mid-Season Update Patch Notes

Diablo 4 Season 6 mid-season patch proposes solutions to class balance issues, enhances the abilities of some underperforming classes, and improves the excitement of activities and makes the gameplay more engaging.

At the same time, the developers have publicly stated that the full patch notes will be released later this week. There will be more explanations about Season 7 in the upcoming PTR livestream.

About Patch Notes

The developer's lead class designer Adam Jackson said that until Season 7, the current strength of Spiritborn will not be adjusted, and players can rest assured about this.

The patch to enhance the abilities of other classes will also be released next week, but the developers have also made it clear that the strength of other classes will not exceed that of Spiritborn. This is to avoid numerical explosions that exceed the scope of what the game can bear.

Regarding these changes, the developers will release news again next week to discuss the relevant content of Season 7. Including possible weakening of Spiritborn, an increase in the drop rate of ancestral items, an increase in the rewards of Legion events crafting materials, and some changes to Runewords.

At the same time, the developers also said that the long-awaited armory system, that is, the mechanism that can switch back and forth between builds like presets, may also be launched in Season 7.

Highlights In The Patch

Minor skill buffs for build diversity have been enhanced. Some Under-used skills have been slightly improved to provide new ideas for the creativity of all class builds.

At the same time, the five core classes, namely Barbarians, Druids, Necromancers, Rogues, and Sorceresses, have been enhanced to a certain extent. While not as strong as Spiritborn, there are significant buffs to core skills, passives, and select Legendaries and Uniques. These changes have narrowed the gap between the original 5 basic classes and the new classes that old players felt after the release of Spiritborn. This also makes players more interested in developing the potential power of all classes instead of all flocking to Spiritborn. If you want to shine in the class you are interested in, then buy Diablo 4 Gold and developing a corresponding class build strategy will be your main goal.

There are also power-ups for Shrines. Artillery, Blast Wave, and Conduit Shrines now scale with player level and paragon level, making them more impactful in the late game.

On Runewords side, they now cost less to activate and are more powerful. Ancestral items have also received buffs, making them a key addition to any build.

Upcoming Events

Midwinter Blight event is returning, and with increased loot and limited-time XP rewards, this event will bring more Diablo 4 Gold and other benefits than ever before. This is important for players as everyone is working to improve their paragon level.

At the same time, Mother’s Blessing Event update will also bring additional rewards to players.

For some players who return to Diablo 4, they can enjoy Eternal Realm character boost. When they return to the game, they can have a character promoted to level 50 for free and unlock Altars of Lilith awaits, which is convenient for players to have powerful power at the beginning of the game.

After Thanksgiving in the US, the developers will conduct a short game test for Season 7, that is, PTR, and many details will be announced in the live broadcast next week. This undoubtedly aroused the new interest of the majority of players. Let us look forward to what new surprises the developers will bring us.

In Diablo 4, for those players who pursue extreme destructive power, Ugly Bastard Helm is undoubtedly one of the most coveted pieces of equipment when doing Berserker builds. The actual results it provides far outweigh the negative impression caused by its name. Ugly Bastard Helm not only significantly increases the wearer’s overall damage output, but is also specifically enhanced for fire attacks.

In addition, Diablo 4 also introduced a helmet called Heir of Perdition, which is also one of the most popular top-level equipment in the game. This helmet can significantly increase the user’s damage to 60%, and may further increase this value depending on different situations.

However, since the acquisition process is quite complex and time-consuming, it is recommended that players who focus on building extreme output characters give priority to pursuing this equipment.

Next, we will introduce several methods to obtain Ugly Bastard Helm and Heir of Perdition.

How To Get Ugly Bastard Helm?

Players can obtain Ugly Bastard Helm through the following methods:

• Participating in World Events: These events usually attract numerous players because they increase the chance of obtaining high-tier loot.
• Slaying World Bosses: World Bosses are powerful enemies in the game. Although their challenge difficulty is higher, the probability of dropping Mythic Uniques is also higher. Therefore, challenging these bosses is a wise choice to obtain Ugly Bastard Helm. If you really cannot bear the difficulty of this challenge, you can also buy Diablo 4 Gold to speed up the process.
• Running Nightmare Dungeons: Nightmare Dungeons offer more challenging content and have high-tier loot drop rates. These dungeons are a great place to find unique items, but be aware that they are also relatively difficult and require some preparation and strategy.
• Participating in Helltide Events: Helltide Events occur every hour, in which players can collect Cinders by killing enemies and completing tasks. Use these Cinders to open Tortured Chests, which may contain valuable equipment such as Ugly Bastard Helm.
• Gamble at Purveyor of Curiosities: Purveyor of Curiosities provides a unique way to obtain Mythic Unique items like Ugly Bastard Helm. If you believe you’re lucky enough, you can try gambling with Murmuring Obols and see if you can get your hands on this powerful helmet.

How To Get Heir Of Perdition?

Here are some strategies to help you get your Heir of Perdition more efficiently:

1. Farming Ladder and Uber Bosses: This method is an effective way to obtain Mythic Uniques. To get Heir of Perdition, you can follow the following Bosses:

• Lord Zir Grigoire
• Echo of Duriel
• Beast in the Ice
• Echo of Andariel
• Varshan Grind

Although the odds of getting this unique item are low on your first try, you can get some other good loot, and with repeated challenges you can accumulate your chances of getting Heir of Perdition.

2. Transmuting with Resplendent Sparks at Alchemist: Players can also craft it by attempting to transmute it at Alchemist. But this method requires the following specific materials:

• Gar x6
• Que x6
• Jah x6
• or
• Resplendent Sparks x2

3. Gambling at Purveyor of Curiosities: If you wish to try a more luck-based method of obtaining Heir of Perdition, consider gambling with Obols at Purveyor of Curiosities. Although this method is full of uncertainty and the probability of obtaining it is extremely low, it is still a viable option for players who have numerous Obols.

Ugly Bastard Helm Effect

When you activate Wrath of the Berserker, it will not only significantly increase your attack power and defense but also trigger a strong explosion effect, causing 100% to 300% additional fire damage to surrounding enemies.

And during the entire Berserking period, all attacks you launch will be converted into fire damage, and these fire damage will be increased by another 60% to 80%. Therefore, Ugly Bastard Helm is perfect for fire-based Barbarian builds.

For players who pursue ultimate output and are eager to plunge into the enemy’s body and Berserk them in encounters, Ugly Bastard Helm is definitely worth owning.

Heir Of Perdition Effect

When the player succumbs to hatred and gains Mother’s Favor (Lilith’s Favor), you will increase the damage you deal by 60%. If there are other nearby players wearing the same helmet, and they also have Mother’s Favor activated, you’ll also have a chance to steal an additional 60% damage boost from them.

Overall, in Diablo 4, Ugly Bastard Helm and Heir of Perdition are very powerful equipment that can significantly improve the player’s combat effectiveness. While the process of acquiring these gears can be complicated and time-consuming, they are certainly worth pursuing for players focused on building their ultimate DPS character.

By participating in various game activities, players can accumulate their chances of obtaining these top-notch equipment. No matter which method is used, players need to put in enough effort and patience to finally own these powerful equipments and achieve better results in the game.

With the launch of Vessel of Hatred DLC and Season 6, the game developers made a major adjustment to the difficulty system. The original World Tiers were removed and replaced with a brand new Difficulty system. This change is designed to provide players with a richer and more challenging gaming experience.

During the leveling process and in most pre-endgame content, players can choose from four basic difficulties: Normal, Hard, Expert, and Penitent. These difficulties accumulate the challenge in the game, allowing players to choose the right difficulty level according to their skill level and play style.

Each difficulty affects the enemy’s strength, health, and their resistance to the player’s skills, providing a suitable challenge for players of different levels.

When players enter the game’s endgame, you will unlock Torment system. This difficulty level is designed for players who crave extreme challenges and rich rewards. Entering Torment 1, players can get substantial rewards, such as unique equipment, rare resources, and other valuable items.

However, these rewards are difficult to get, because Torment 1 enemies have significantly increased damage and reduced resistance. Even the most experienced players may find themselves in great danger.

To cope with this drastic increase in difficulty, players need to be fully prepared. This includes but is not limited to the need to optimize character construction, collect powerful equipment, be familiar with the behavior patterns of various monsters, buy Diablo 4 Gold, and master effective combat techniques.. Read this guide to learn how to better unlock Torment 1 Difficulty.

What Does Torment 1 Unlock?

In Diablo 4, as a Tier in difficulty increases, players will receive more XP, gold, and have a higher chance of obtaining rare items. This design encourages players to gradually challenge higher Tiers to obtain more generous rewards.

When you start a new character, there are only two difficulties to choose from: Normal and Hard. These two difficulty levels are suitable for novice and intermediate players to help you familiarize yourself with the game mechanics and storyline.

As you progress through the game and complete the base campaign and DLC campaigns, you will unlock the next two difficulties: Elite and Penitent. These two difficulty levels provide greater challenges and require players to have higher skills and strategies. These difficulty levels also bring better rewards, including more powerful equipment and rarer resources.

However, to obtain the highest quality items in Diablo 4, you need to unlock Torment system.

Unlocking Torment 1 marks a significant increase in the game’s challenge. This jump from Penitent to Torment 1 is not to be underestimated, and it brings players a whole new level of trials.

Despite the significant increase in difficulty, Torment 1 enemies will drop more experience points and gold, which is essential for the rapid development of your character. In addition, Torment 1 enemies have a chance to drop the highest quality equipment in the game, Ancestral gear.

Torment difficulty has another significant downside. In fact, your Armor Value will drop by a fixed 250, and all Resistances will be reduced by 25%. This means that you need to plan your character build and equipment selection more carefully to ensure that you can still maintain sufficient defense when facing stronger enemies.

Unlocking Torment 1 is a crucial step in the pursuit of top-tier gear and rare items. While players already have a chance to earn Legendary, Unique, and Mythic Unique items before reaching Torment 1, the drop chances of these special item types increase significantly once you pass that threshold.

This means that if your goal is to acquire some of the rarest and most powerful gear in the game, you’ll want to make sure your character is at least at Torment 1.

How To Unlock Torment 1?

First, you must complete the game’s main campaign, which will unlock Elite Difficulty, the third difficulty level in the “regular” difficulty setting.

Then head into Vessel of Hatred and complete its main campaign, doing so unlocking Penitent Difficulty. Once you’ve reached Level 60 and have earned a certain number of Paragon points, you can look for and begin “The Pit Of The Artificer” priority quest in Quest Tab.

Head to Cerrigar in Scosglen and find Artificer’s Obelisk, located in the top-left corner of Waypoint. This obelisk is the entrance to Pit of the Artificer, a repeatable, randomly generated dungeon with a hundred tiers to explore. When players reach the highest level of the game, they will challenge Tier 20, which is the first opportunity to experience Torment Difficulty.

To unlock Torment Difficulty for the rest of the game, players must defeat Pit at Tier 20. This challenge is timed, and players only have 15 minutes to defeat enough enemies to create a portal to the last boss. After successfully defeating the boss within the time limit and completing Pit at Tier 20, players will unlock Torment 1 Difficulty. Higher difficulty Torments can increase the number of rewards.
