News Tag: Diablo 4 Season 11

Since the introduction of Rune system in Diablo 4, runes have been a coveted resource for almost every player. This is not only because they can activate powerful Runewords, providing synergistic buffs for character builds, but more importantly, they are essential consumables for crafting specific Mythic Uniques.

With the developers significantly increasing monster strength and readjusting defensive mechanisms in Diablo 4 Season 11, the days of clearing Pits 100+ without requiring Mythic items may be over. Therefore, runes have become crucial for improving survivability in the endgame, often surpassing the power of support gems, especially in armor sockets.

So, here we introduce a new Legendary Rune farming method introduced in Season 11, which is likely the fastest way to obtain runes in Diablo 4 currently. We will explain step-by-step how to set it up and how to farm efficiently. Let's begin.

Step-by-Step Guide

Upgrading Essence Of Pain

First, you need to upgrade your Essence of Pain Divine Gift to level five. This allows players to have a chance to obtain dropped Socketables such as Royal Gems, Gem Fragments, and Legendary Runes when defeating Pangs of Duriel. However, this is not the only reason we choose this Divine Gift; we will explain later.

To upgrade this Divine Gift, you need to kill monsters in Helltide. When monsters in Helltide die, there is a chance they will provide experience points for this Divine Gift.

However, a more efficient way to upgrade it is to kill as many Duriel bosses as possible in Helltide, as he is guaranteed to provide experience points for this Divine Gift.

Collecting Corrupted Horn Of Duriel

While upgrading your Divine Gift, it is recommended that you collect as many Corrupted Horns of Duriel from the Duriel boss as possible, as you will need them later.

However, please note that each person can only carry a maximum of 20 Corrupted Horns of Duriel. So, if you find that Duriel is no longer dropping this item, it may be because your inventory is full. It's time to clear your inventory.

Once you have upgraded your Divine Gift to the maximum level five, you should place it in the Purified Gift slots. 

Defeat Azmodan & Open Duriel's Chest

Next, head south of Zarbinzet to summon the open-world version of Azmodan. There are usually many players farming there, so defeating him shouldn't be too difficult.

After defeating the boss, three chests will drop for you to choose from. Open Duriel's Hoard chest, which requires five Corrupted Horns of Duriel. However, since the newly upgraded Essence of Pain Divine Gift also works on this chest, it guarantees you at least one Legendary Rune. This is your main source of runes.

Farming Loop

Next, we'll discuss how to continuously open this chest.

These chests also contain boss materials, more specifically, a large amount of Living Steel. Some players have even obtained over 40 Living Steels from a single Duriel chest, which is a considerable amount of wealth. Therefore, in addition to aiming for Diablo 4 Legendary Runes from this chest, Living Steels are also important items worth collecting.

Why? Because we need to use these Living Steels to obtain more Corrupted Horns of Duriel.

After opening all the Duriel chests, you should have a large amount of Living Steel in your inventory. Next, we will use all of this Living Steel to open Grigoire's Hoard chest.

Travel to Grigoire's lair, defeat him, and open his chests as many times as possible, using up all your Living Steel. During this process, you will obtain a large amount of Shards of Agony and some Stygian Stones. You should convert these Stygian Stones into Shards of Agony, and then head to Duriel's lair. Note that this is not the Duriel in Helltide, but the Lair version of the Duriel boss. After defeating him, you can use your Shards of Agony to open the Hoard chests as many times as possible.

We do this because the Duriel Lair boss also drops Corrupted Horns of Duriel. This allows you to collect enough materials without too much effort and provides the motivation to continue farming.

In short, once you have replenished your stock of Corrupted Horns of Duriel, immediately summon Azmodan boss, defeat him, and open as many Duriel chests as possible. Each time you open a chest, you are guaranteed to get a Legendary Rune. This creates a complete farming cycle:

1. Use your Corrupted Horn of Duriel to open the Duriel chest at the Azmodan boss location to obtain a large amount of Living Steels and Legendary Runes.
2. Use these Living Steels to summon and defeat Grigoire, which will grant you a large number of Shards of Agony. You can then use these to summon a higher difficulty version of Duriel to obtain some dropped Corrupted Horns of Duriel.
3. Then, return to the open-world version of Azmodan and use the Corrupted Horn of Duriel to open the chest for guaranteed runes.
4. If you don't get enough Living Steels from the chest, you can supplement them from Helltide chests.

Duriel Chest vs. Kurast Undercity Farming

Finally, some players might question whether this farming method is as good as farming the Tribute of Harmony in the Kurast Undercity. Diablo 4 Season 11 significantly enhanced the Kurast Undercity, especially Tribute of Harmony and Tribute of Mystique, greatly increasing the drop rate of Legendary Runes and other valuable loot. So why would we choose the more cumbersome Duriel boss chest farming method to obtain runes?

The reality is that Tribute of Harmony is difficult to find and limited in quantity, while this farming cycle is sustainable and unlimited. Therefore, it definitely has many advantages.

In short, this is a currently viable and relatively easy rune farming method that allows you to obtain endless Legendary Runes in the early stages of D4S11. If you are lacking specific runes, why not give it a try!

The new Paladin class in Diablo 4 Season 11 offers a completely different experience compared to other classes, mainly due to its wider range of skill upgrades, thus providing more possibilities.

This has resulted in numerous Paladin builds, many of which have performed exceptionally well in Season 11, with most Paladin builds ranking in Tier S.

Tier S

Judgement Paladin

Judgement Paladin is currently the best Paladin endgame build. It excels in leveling, farming, boss fights, and The Pit.

The player community has also discovered new playstyle variations of this build, focusing on keeping the conviction effect of Judgement on enemies until it expires, then triggering an explosion for massive damage. This aims to maximize single-hit damage.

For fast farming Diablo 4 gold or leveling, Arbiter of Justice skill can be used to efficiently apply Judgement to a large number of enemies. Judgement effects will then passively clear the entire screen of enemies, making it highly efficient.

Wing Strikes Paladin

Wing Strikes Paladin is a speed-farming build in endgame characterized by fast movement and relaxation. It relies entirely on Arbiter of Justice and uses Falling Star for movement.

Wing Strikes skills automatically trigger when you move and blink, often killing enemies as you rush towards them, somewhat similar to Evade Spiritborn build.

Fist Of The Heavens Paladin

This is a relatively new build, and not many players may have tried it yet. It requires Argent Veil unique ring, which allows you to randomly trigger core skills while dodging.

You also need to convert Spear of the Heavens into a core skill through Fist of the Heavens skill, thus synergizing with Argent Veil. Combined with Arbiter Disciple, it achieves a near-permanent Arbiter state. As long as you use Evade while in Arbiter state, Fist of the Heavens will be automatically released to clear all monsters.

Blessed Hammer Paladin

Blessed Hammer Paladin possesses immense AoE clearing capabilities. It also combines Argent Veil and Evade, casting Blast Hammer through Evade.

Its core feature is that the released hammer rotates around the character for a long time, dealing damage to any enemies it touches. Furthermore, when you use Falling Star to jump into a new monster group, you don't need to immediately recast the hammer, as the previous hammer is still rotating and dealing damage. While its farming speed may not be as fast as Fist of the Heavens Paladin, it is much safer.

Shield Of Retribution Paladin

Shield of Retribution Paladin is a build based on Thorns damage reflection mechanism. Your Shield of Retribution moves slowly, transferring thorn damage to enemies within range. It's relatively slow and not the easiest to control, but it's safe and reliable in the endgame.

Brandish Paladin

Brandish Paladin is a Supplication-dependent build. It allows Brandish to fire in all directions, greatly increasing its range. Returning Light allows Brandish attacks to return to the character after being fired, making this combination sufficient to harvest most monsters.

Shield Bash Paladin

Shield Bash Paladin has two variations. You can use the common Argent Veil and Evade combo to manually cast Shield Bash for automatic farming.

If you want to challenge The Pit, you need to replace the shield with Gate of the Red Daw. Its effect is that when your Juggernaut core skill hits an enemy for the first time, it stores the damage in Fortress, up to 10 stacks.

When you cast Fortress again, all stored damage is unleashed at once within the fortress's area of effect, dealing devastating damage.

Advance Paladin

Advance Paladin is a build that relies on the basic skill, Advance. It transforms the basic skill Advance into the Juggernaut skill using Wave Dash, and then builds a damage rotation around the generation and consumption of Resolve.

Auradin Paladin

Auradin Paladin is an AFK build that many players enjoy using. You simply stand still, and Holy Light Aura automatically eliminates all enemies.

This requires the unique Dawnfire gloves, which allow Holy Light Aura to passively burn enemies, and the damage increases with each enemy that dies. It can even be used to AFK complete Infernal Hordes; you only need to occasionally come back and click it.

Tier A

Divine Lance Paladin

Divine Lance Paladin has a strong ability to clear monsters. You need to transform the original Discrete skill, Divine Lance, into a Zealot skill through the skill tree.

After the transformation, it can generate Fervor stacks. Utilize Aspect of Jacques' Fervor and Aspect of the Zealot's Covenant to increase its damage. If you want to experience Zealot playstyle, it's a good choice.

Zeal Paladin

Zeal Paladin is a pure Zealot skill build. It has a fast attack speed and a direct feel. Its core skill is Zealot's Zeal Frenzy. It synergizes with all Zealot Aspects that increase Fervor stacks, attack speed, critical hit chance, and critical hit damage.

Shield Charge Paladin

Unlike the evade concept of Shield Bash, Shield Charge Paladin build requires you to hold down the skill button to continuously charge.

Shield Charge can be upgraded through Relentless Charge, turning it into a Core skill. It has an initial Faith cost and continuously consumes Faith while the button is held down.

The gameplay involves simply holding down Shield Charge, smashing your way through hordes of monsters, and destroying everything in your path. While the damage isn't top-tier, the gameplay is incredibly fun.

Blessed Shield Paladin

Blessed Shield Paladin is the weakest of all Paladin builds, but still ranks in Tier A. It also uses Arbiter, Argent Veil, and Evade combination to automatically trigger Blessed Shield.

However, there's a difference compared to Blessed Hammer Paladin build. Blessed Hammer can be upgraded to a Disciple skill, perfectly enjoying the massive bonuses of Arbiter and Disciple combination. Blessed Shield lacks this conversion option, preventing it from gaining the same benefits from Arbiter system, thus lagging behind in strength.

These are the rankings of the mainstream Paladin builds for Season 11. Almost all Paladin builds are strong this season, even the Tier A builds are worth trying.

Diablo 4 Season 11 has just begun, and its first event, Goblins Greetings, is coming soon. This festive version of March of the Goblins event will last approximately two weeks.

This event will offer very generous rewards. Whether you need to level up, collect materials and equipment, don't let the ubiquitous goblins escape your grasp.

Date

Goblins Greetings will run from December 18, 2025 to January 6, a duration well over two weeks. and it is one of the longest-running events in Diablo series history.

Event Objectives

During the event, goblins will appear in various areas of the world, dungeons, and more. Players simply need to kill goblins to upgrade their March of the Goblin reputation board. The higher your reputation, the better the rewards contained in the loot bags carried by the goblins you encounter. You might even encounter goblins carrying mythic items!

Each time you unlock a reputation rank, you can claim a reward chest at Goblin Square in Kyovashad. The final rank can be completed repeatedly, rewarding a generous loot bag. The first completion will grant an additional Resplendent Spark! Note that all rewards must be claimed before the event ends on January 6th, or they will disappear.

Tree Of Whispers

During Goblins Greetings event, returning Grim Favors at Tree of Whispers will drop a Gift of the Tree cache in addition to the regular chests. Opening it guarantees a Collection of Chaos, containing very rich rewards.

How To Effectively Utilize This Event?

Accumulate Whisper Caches

You need to find and complete as many grim favors as possible in Sanctuary. After accumulating enough grim favors, you can obtain chest rewards from Tree of Whispers.

However, remember not to open these accumulated whisper caches before the event starts. Opening these chests after the event begins will grant an extra Collection of Chaos, which will reward you with XP, Diablo 4 gold, and materials.

You can prioritize grim favors quests related to Lair Boss, as you'll only need to defeat the boss to earn 5 grim favors. Challenging the boss doesn't require a key; only opening Lair Boss chests does. If you don't have a key, you can skip opening chests and focus on leveling up the boss.

Fast Leveling

You can store accumulated whisper caches in your stash. After creating a new character, use these chests with that new character to instantly level up from level 1 to 60 using the XP provided by the Collection of Chaos. This is currently the best way to level up alts instead of the nerfed Pits and Hell Tides.

Defeating bosses earns points quickly, without needing to open chests. You can also follow Legion events to obtain Forgotten Souls.

Nightmare Dungeon Sigils

If you want to hunt more goblins, focus on saving these three Nightmare Dungeon Sigils:

• Treasure Breach Nightmare Sigils
• Prankster Nightmare Sigils
• Herodrick Strong Rooms Nightmare Sigils

These Nightmare Dungeon Sigils correspond to dungeons with a large number of goblins. Prankster Nightmare Sigils is also the only Mythic Nightmare Dungeon in Season 11, potentially spawning Mythic Prankster goblin. The goblin spawn rate in these dungeons will be further increased during the event, making the rewards very high.

How To Get Nightmare Dungeon Sigils?

The most common way to obtain Nightmare Dungeon Sigils is to use whisper caches. If you accumulate some caches beforehand, you won't lack Sigils at the start of the event.

You can also craft Sigils at Occultist and then filter for Sigils with the affixes you want. Then, salvage all unwanted Sigils into Sigil powder to repeatedly craft them until you get the target Sigil.

Defeating World Bosses and opening their chests also yields a large amount of Sigils. Combined with Essence of Sin from Divine Gifts, World Bosses will drop even more rewards. If placed in a purified slot, the reward bonus from Essence of Sin will be doubled.

However, note that there's a bug: the fight with Azmodan might activate PvP, causing players to be attacked by other mercenaries. Removing it from the corrupted slot will prevent character death but won't affect obtaining activity keys, and only Lair boss keys will be lost.

Materials

This event is also a great opportunity to quickly acquire crafting materials such as Obducite. Both Sanctification system and Masterworking consume large amounts of gold and various materials, so you can use this event to prepare for future equipment forging.

Additional Event Benefits

The developers are very generous this time, as Goblins Greetings event isn't the only benefit. During the event, the in-game store will offer free gifts daily.

• December 18: Tackle of the First Snows (Mount Trophy)
• December 19: Fallow-ward (Mount Trophy)
• December 20: Crook of First Snow (Mount Armor)

These rewards won't be automatically distributed; you need to manually claim them from the store. They will disappear after January 6th, so don't forget them in the store - claim them as soon as you log in!

While Diablo 4 Season was initially controversial, the developers' various changes ultimately made Season 11 meet player expectations. Goblins Greetings event is a great opportunity at the start of season 11 to acquire a large amount of materials and equipment and quickly level up your character, making this season much easier, so don't miss it.

As is well known, the returning Capstone Dungeons have been redesigned in Diablo 4 Season 11, becoming key to advancing through Season Journey.

These Capstone Dungeons are essentially special high-level dungeons, acting as gatekeepers to higher difficulty levels. You must complete these dungeons to unlock Torment Difficulty Tier.

Capstone Dungeon

Five Capstone Dungeons have been added in Season 11, each with unique mechanics and highly challenging boss battles. Completing them yields substantial rewards, such as unlocking the next Season Rank, additional Diablo 4 gold, Paragon Points, Skill Points, and better loot.

• Vault of the Crucible
• Hellish Descent
• Enclave of Darkness
• Den of the Apostate
• Breach of Sin

It's worth noting that the monsters in these dungeons are of fixed and high level, regardless of the player character's actual level, making them a challenging test of your character's build strength.

Here, we'll focus on showing you how to complete your first Capstone Dungeon: Vault of the Crucible. This dungeon is the gateway to unlocking the second tier of your Season Journey. Unlocking new Season Ranks is crucial because, unlike other seasons, in S11 you need to complete this objective to gain extra skill points. Without further ado, let's take a look at this Capstone Dungeon.

How To Enter Vault Of The Crucible?

First, you need to open Season Rank system from the menu. On the right, you'll see a prompt to complete Vault of the Crucible, your first Capstone Dungeon. Click the yellow icon, and you'll be automatically teleported to the dungeon.

Enter The Gatehall, defeat Master Executioner and his minions, then go through the portal to the first floor.

Floor 1: Savage Path

Savage Path is a simple level. You just need to find and defeat all the elite monsters marked with red skull icons, collecting the Animus Carriers from their bodies. Don't worry, the map is small, so you shouldn't have to spend much time completing the objective.

Once you've collected all the Animus Carriers, place them in Animus Urn. Then continue along the newly opened path, where you'll encounter your first boss - Demonic Automaton, a giant scorpion.

After defeating the scorpion, you can proceed to the next level; the exit is located in the northeast corner of the map.

Note that there is a red flame barrier there; you cannot pass through it unless you step on the golden circles that cool you down. This leads to the key mechanics of the second level.

Floor 2: Scorching Furnace

Step on the circles to enter the second level, where you will officially arrive at Scorching Furnace.

Here, you'll find the ground scorching, so you need to step on all the golden circles as you move forward. During this process, you also need to defeat three elite monsters called Barrier Wardens to continue.

• The first is located at the top after entering the level.
• The second is almost in the middle of the map.
• The last is located in the southeast corner of the map.

After defeating all three Barrier Wardens, you can find the exit by heading to the northeast corner of the map. These elite monsters are quite difficult, so it is recommended that you buy Diablo 4 items with better defensive affixes before starting to avoid accidental death and wasting your progress.

Floor 3: Curator's Forge

This last floor combines all the elements encountered so far, meaning you'll need to fight enemies while navigating through golden circles on the map to reach the northern part. Then, you'll need to fill a progress bar; once completed, simply keep heading north until you find the exit. You'll eventually reach the boss fight area, called Curator's Forge.

As before, you'll need to fight while stepping on golden circles to avoid being burned. You can also try standing on ice pillars to gain Ice Aegis, a 10-second buff that allows you to pass through flame barriers in the dungeon and provides damage over time reduction.

Curator boss here has a large-area attack that can deal fatal damage. However, you can dodge it by standing in the gaps between green pillars of light, or if possible, by getting behind him before he attacks to completely avoid the attack.

When Curator's health drops to about half, Demonic Automaton boss you encountered on the first floor will also appear. So you'll need to fight two bosses simultaneously. However, I recommend dealing with Demonic Automaton first, then Curator, as the latter is much more difficult and harder to defeat. Insisting on dealing with Curator first might lead to being surrounded.

Once you defeat Curator, you've completed Vault of the Crucible Capstone Dungeon. You can then unlock Rank II and continue to the next objective.

Rewards

Finally, upon completing Vault of the Crucible, in addition to accessing Season Rank 2, you'll receive some other valuable rewards to upgrade your character, including:

• 2 Skill Points
• Lesser Player Title
• Emissary Player Title
• Rank I Capstone Cache
• Archetype Cache
• 1 Smoldering Ash

This concludes the complete guide to the first Capstone Dungeon in Diablo 4 Season 11 - Vault of the Crucible. Overall, this dungeon isn't particularly difficult; as long as you master the techniques outlined in this guide, you can easily complete it and obtain better rewards in Season Journey.

At the recently concluded TGA awards last week, Diablo 4 lived up to expectations, revealing several details about its second DLC, Lord of Hatred.

Of all the announced content in the new DLC, the most appealing is undoubtedly the two new classes, and more importantly, one of them, Paladin, is now playable in Season 11 - provided you pre-order the new DLC immediately.

Unlike the previous new class, Spiritborn, Paladin is not new to Diablo series, having appeared and been very popular in Diablo 2. Now, it finally returns in Diablo 4.

Below, we will introduce the new gameplay and features this class will have in Diablo 4, helping you quickly get started with Paladin if you plan to play it.

Paladin In Diablo 4 Overview

In Diablo 2, the class's main combat style was to strengthen itself or its teammates through various active or passive auras to deal more damage or gain more defense. Its core builds, Hammerdin and Smiter, were both very famous.

In Diablo 3, although Paladin was temporarily absent, another class, Crusader, had similarities. Diablo 4 seems to have combined the strengths of Diablo 2 Paladin and Diablo 3 Crusader to create a more powerful Paladin.

In general, in Diablo 4, Paladin is a shield-wielding melee class, drawing strength from the ability of Faith, and capable of dealing holy, physical, and fire damage. It has a wide variety of weapons and skills available, and a unique mechanism called Oaths.

What Are Oaths?

All Diablo 4 classes have a unique mechanism that serves to embody the class's characteristics and provide additional combat bonuses.

Paladin's Oaths are unlocked after reaching level 15. After that, you can choose one of four Oaths with different bonus effects as your specialization, making yourself a more powerful and specialized Paladin. They are:

• Zealot: Focuses on fast, aggressive attacks and critical strikes.
• Juggernaut: Emphasizes defense and shield abilities, capable of dealing Thorns damage and gaining offensive conversion while defending.
• Judicator: You can apply Judgement marks to enemies and then detonate them to deal high holy damage and AoE damage.
• Disciple: Enhance your damage and mobility by transforming into Arbiter form.

These Oaths are not only a way to increase your power, but also provide possibilities for crafting more Paladin builds in Season 11 and Lord of Hatred, further expanding the gameplay of this new class.

How To Unlock This Class?

Although Paladin is essentially one of the new classes introduced in the new DLC launching on April 28, 2026, if you pre-order DLC now, you can play Paladin in Season 11, combining seasonal powers and dungeons!

In addition, you are expected to be able to continue experiencing this class in other new seasons before the new DLC is officially released. More importantly, pre-ordering Lord of Hatred also directly unlocks the first DLC, Vessel of Hatred!

Paladin Exclusive Items

All gear in Diablo 4 can be simply divided into general and class-specific types, and rarer items often have one or more corresponding exclusive bosses; focusing on farming them gives you a greater chance of obtaining item drops.

Based on this, after Paladin's addition, in addition to the still available general gear, Diablo 4 has also added several new exclusive unique items and Legendary Aspects for this class.

It should be noted that while Paladin unique items can already be obtained by farming the corresponding bosses, Legendary Aspects have not yet unlocked this channel and can only be obtained through random drops, such as Helltide chests or Whisper caches.

However, it is expected that after the new DLC is officially released, new dungeons or other related new bosses added through the new region Skovos will provide you with exclusive Paladin Legendary Aspect drop channels.

Diablo 4 Season 11 is about to launch. Due to the increased overall difficulty of the new season, player survival has become more challenging, leading many players to search for guides and strategies, from methods for defeating World Bosses to optimal build recommendations for different classes.

As the launch date approaches, we've also been looking for suitable class builds for a smooth run. However, after reviewing numerous build guides, we've found that almost all strategies revolve around high damage and high output. This approach is indeed feasible; players can quickly defeat bosses on the map through overwhelming strength and then obtain the desired items and rewards.

Among these recommended items, we've noticed one item that's rarely mentioned: Temerity, this item has often been overlooked by players in previous seasons. But I believe that in Season 11, Diablo 4 Temerity can rise to prominence; everyone has underestimated its value.

Why Is It Underestimated?

Season of Divine Intervention has undergone many changes compared to its predecessors, from monster mechanics and difficulty to the item upgrade system. This means all players should proceed with greater caution.

Previously, we tended to charge into battle without much consideration for defense, especially in the endgame. This led to a continued bias towards attack power while neglecting defense in the new season.

However, based on our experience on PTR server, we believe this high-damage, low-defense playstyle needs to be changed. Survival has become more challenging; even with a defensive character build, players are still vulnerable.

After numerous trials, we discovered that Temerity is an excellent defensive item. It provides a significant defense boost without incurring excessive costs.

How To Obtain Temerity?

Temerity is a unique patch in Diablo 4, usable by any class. You can obtain it by summoning and killing the following monsters:

• Varshan
• Lord Zir
• Grigoire
• Echo of Duriel
• The Beast in the Ice
• Urivar

Alternatively, you can obtain it from chests dropped in Helltide Events.

Why Choose Temerity?

This item is incredibly powerful defensively, making it ideal for builds or classes that don't rely heavily on barriers. In other words, when your healing exceeds your maximum health, the excess is converted into a damage-absorbing barrier, essentially an extra layer of protection.

Even if you rely on barrier protection, its effect is still optimal, granting you an 8-second barrier, which is far superior to other equipment.

Especially with the recent upgrades to the healing system, healing effects have been enhanced. Healing effects are now essentially an attribute that can be applied to equipment, allowing you to use Temerity to convert all excess healing into a significant amount of barrier damage.

If you acquire this equipment early in the game and need a defensive boost, don't hesitate, equipping Diablo 4 Temerity is your best choice; its effects will surprise you.

This equipment was previously overlooked because the game's difficulty wasn't high enough, so its impact wasn't significant. However, with the increased difficulty of Season of Divine Intervention, I believe it will definitely stand out in the new season.

Many class builds in Season 11 are suitable for Temerity, especially Spiritborn, as it's one of the most vulnerable classes, particularly Legendary Nodes like Viscous Shield. In such cases, equipping Temerity provides an extra barrier protection.

How To Improve Temerity's Defensive Capabilities?

With the new season's updated defense mechanics and item upgrade system, we can optimize and enhance Temerity by adding appropriate affixes through Tempering and Masterworking. We can even use the newly added Sanctification system to give equipment a final boost, thereby maximizing Temerity's defensive capabilities.

Furthermore, with the reworked Fortify system in the new season update, stacking Fortify increases a player's Maximum Life, providing an additional benefit to Temerity's barrier protection.

Alternative Solutions

While Temerity isn't restricted to any class, some builds inevitably can't incorporate it into their gear because they require specific pants or unique skill attributes. For example, Rogues have Second Wind skill, and Necromancers have their own unique pants - Blood Moon Breeches.

In such cases, alternative methods are needed to obtain sufficient defensive capabilities. Runes do offer decent defensive benefits. In Diablo 4, runes' offensive output isn't particularly outstanding, often requiring a full set of runes to achieve the desired damage output.

However, some runes can provide unexpected defensive effects, such as Mot Rune, which grants a shadow from Rogue's Dark Shroud skill, providing up to 40% damage reduction.

In addition to these, there are some runes with slightly weaker defense, such as Xal, which increases your maximum health by 20%. Especially when your health is overflowing, it grants a huge amount of health over 4 seconds, but it requires Ritual Rune.

Other runes with defensive effects include:

• Que
• Wat
• Feo

While Season 11 may be more difficult than before, especially based on PTR server experience where some monsters seem to deal excessive damage, the developers have stated they will adjust the game balance in the live servers. Furthermore, due to adjustments to class skill mechanics, our characters are now stronger.

Therefore, we can invest more resources in defense, without having to spend as much time and effort on increasing damage output as before, while our map clearing and monster killing speed will not be affected. This is why I recommend using Temerity in Season of Divine Intervention.

I hope this information will be helpful as the new Diablo 4 season arrives. Have fun in the game!

Diablo 4 Season 11 is significantly more difficult than previous seasons, with monsters dealing more damage, which may impact character leveling.

Also, you might not want to take too much time on the campaign, so here are some of the most reliable leveling builds for every class this season.

Evade Spiritborn Build

This build revolves entirely around Accelerated Thunderspike, and each time you evade, Spiritborn automatically fires a large number of feathers, dealing area damage.

You don't need to aim at enemies, and simply dive into the monster horde and use the high-frequency evades to automatically clear them. The evasion also allows you to move quickly across the map while attacking, making it extremely efficient.

Defensively, Evade provides invincibility frames, allowing you to avoid damage while dealing damage, making it very safe. This build primarily relies on evasion cooldowns, requires minimal resource management, and is very easy to play.

You only need to adapt to this dodge-centric playstyle, which may feel different from other class-specific builds. Its transition to endgame is also very smooth, as you can continue to develop this build, using it as the core for endgame content, or seamlessly transition to other top-tier endgame builds like Quill Volley Spiritborn using resources accumulated during leveling.

Firewall Sorcerer Build

This leveling build primarily uses Firewall and Hydra as its core damage skills. Firewall's continuous damage and Hydra's multi-headed attack can quickly melt enemies.

After casting Firewall and summoning Hydra, you can move freely or cast other skills, allowing DoT effects to automatically deal with monsters, making it particularly suitable for dealing with groups of monsters and elite enemies. This indirect damage method provides a stable output environment even when your gear is poor in the early game.

The transition of Firewall Sorcerer build to endgame is also clear. Because it focuses on fire damage, it can be transitioned to Hydra build, and you only need to slightly adjust your Diablo 4 items. Alternatively, you could transition to Crackling Energy Sorcerer endgame build, which utilizes the new season mechanics and enhancements, and might be the strongest Sorcerer build this season.

Dance Of Knives Rogue Build

While Rogue's strength in endgame is relatively average, its high movement speed makes it one of the fastest-leveling classes. Dance of Knives Rogue is its most classic leveling build, used by Rogue players almost every season.

Dance of Knives is a continuous spinning attack, utilizing high-frequency AoE attacks, making Rogue very efficient at clearing mobs and very fun to play. Rogue's high mobility allows for repositioning during the spin to dodge monster attacks. Dance of Knives has good base damage and effects and doesn't rely on items, so it's quick to build in the early game.

The ideal goal for this build in endgame is to transition into Death Trap Rogue build. This is a classic build with high burst AoE damage, allowing for a smooth transition from Dance of Knives build.

Minion Build Necromancer Build

One of the defining features of Necromancer build is its summons, which serve as both primary damage dealers and defenders. Necromancer gains Skeleton Mages from level one, making for a smooth start.

Furthermore, with summons fighting at the front, Necromancer can safely command and cast support skills from the rear, reducing survivability pressure. Skeleton Mages' ranged attacks are effective in handling various situations. However, due to the class's characteristics, movement speed is slow, but its advantages are simplicity and safety.

Minion Build Necromancer can be perfectly transformed into one of the newest and strongest builds of the season - Golem Necromancer - at endgame. This build is built around the new and unique item Gravebloom, boasting an extremely high damage cap and capable of challenging levels 110 and above in The Pit, making it one of the most fun builds in Season 11.

HOTA Lunging Strike Barbarian Build

This is a hybrid build that utilizes Fury displacement and small-area attacks provided by Lunging Strike to handle single enemies, and Hammer of the Ancients for high-damage area-of-effect burst damage to clear dense groups of monsters.

The official release in Season 11 significantly buffed Barbarian's core skills, Paragon Legendary nodes, and primary stat scaling. This means that from level 1 to the endgame, Barbarian's base damage and scaling are better. You can flexibly focus on one of the two skill builds depending on the gear and effects you acquire.

At endgame, you can transition to either the pure HOTA build or the pure Lunging Strike build, depending on your gear and preferences.

Companion Druid Build

With the removal of Season 10 Chaos Perks, Druid's strength has returned to normal. However, the relative weakness of basic skills and early legendary effects has slowed down early-game monster clearing efficiency and pace.

You can choose Companion Druid build, playing like a Necromancer in the early game. However, this build isn't viable from the start, and you'll need more meticulous planning of your skill path and gear choices, and the experience might not be as smooth as other classes.

While leveling is weaker, Druids can still rise to prominence in the mid-to-late game after acquiring key legendary and unique items. You can switch to Pulverize Druid in the endgame.

Finally, when choosing your class and build, besides The Pit level, you should consider your personal preferences. Because if you're very familiar with the leveling process, the difference in leveling time between the fastest and slowest builds might only be 10-20 minutes. The important thing is whether you can obtain the necessary items during this process.

Diablo 4 Season 11 made some adjustments to various classes, and Necromancer once again emerged as one of the best. The newly acquired unique item for Necromancer, Gravebloom, is particularly interesting; it allows you to summon three powerful golems.

If you decide to play Necromancer in Season 11, you might want to know which builds are the strongest. Below is a ranking of the strongest Necromancer builds, which are focusing on their performance in The Pit and Tower.

The Impact Of Season 11

Season 11 made several permanent changes to the crafting and defense systems, which directly impacted many builds.

Firstly, the cooldown reduction affix can now appear on jewelry. Ring of Mendeln was buffed, and Rathma's Vigor passive was changed, making some builds viable again.

On the other hand, developers increased monster damage and generally weakened character survivability, making build tankiness extremely important.

Tier D

Blood Mist Necromancer

Blood Mist Necromancer primarily relies on frequently triggering Blood Mist and Corpse Explosion, especially Blighted Corpse Explosion, to deal damage, and it's also known as Infinimist Necromancer.

It performed poorly in the season. The main reason is its over-reliance on corpse resources, while there are currently more high-damage alternatives.

C Tier

Affliction Necromancer

Affliction Necromancer is a new build in Season 11, and it involves curse skills like Iron Maiden. Some unique items allow Iron Maiden to deal shadow damage.

Affliction Necromancer is very suitable for leveling. However, its damage output has a ceiling for pushing The Pit and Tower levels, preventing it from reaching top-tier levels and placing it primarily in the mid-tier of The Pit.

Tier B

Blood Surge And Blood Lance Necromancer

Both Blood Surge and Blood Lance have received significant buffs, resulting in substantial damage increases. With the right Diablo 4 items, these builds might reach Tier A.

Corpse Explosion Necromancer

This build focuses entirely on corpse explosion damage, making it heavily reliant on Black River gear. Its survivability is decent, but its damage output may be insufficient at higher levels of The Pit.

Sever Necromancer

Sever Necromancer performs strongly in the early game, but suffers from slow movement speed and insufficient damage in the late game.

Bone Storm Necromancer

It was very strong in Season 10 due to the existence of Chaos Perks, but its ranking has dropped due to the removal of these mechanics in the new season and the nerf to Lidless Wall. It might not be as good as Blood Necromancer builds, but it's still Tier B.

Tier A

Blight Necromancer

This build focuses on Blight skill, utilizing Ebonpiercer to make Blight effective. This build is very tanky and suitable for speed farming. In Season 11, due to the significant increase in monster damage and the decrease in overall player survivability, survivability becomes extremely important, which is the main advantage of this build.

Bone Spirit Necromancer

With Season 11 allowing players to gain cooldown reduction on rings and amulets, coupled with the fix to Rapid Ossification, Bone Spirit can finally be self-sufficient and become a viable option. Its damage and survivability are decent, and if Sanctification is utilized to obtain suitable affixes, this build has the potential to reach Tier S.

Bone Spear Necromancer

Bone Spear Necromancer has very strong single-target damage, making it very effective against bosses, but it lacks AoE capabilities. The buff to Ring of Mendeln also benefits it, resulting in a slight rise in its ranking.

Skeletal Mage Necromancer

The primary beneficiary of Ring of Mendeln damage buff is Skeletal Mages Necromancer, making Necromancer's summons very reliable again. It excels for leveling and early push of The Pit, but falls slightly below Tier S for higher levels.

Blood Wave Necromancer

Overpower variant of Shadow Blood Wave struggles somewhat with triggering Blood orbs, but the changes to Rathma's Vigor (Overpower timer 15s → 10s) might give it the potential to reach Tier S.

Another DoT variant is viable; regardless of the variant, this build provides strong survivability, which is invaluable in the current season.

Tier S

Shadow Blight Necromancer

Shadow Blight Necromancer boasts extremely high damage, possibly slightly higher than the buffed Golem Necromancer. It's also incredibly tanky, offering far greater survivability than Golem Necromancer.

It relies on corpses, requiring corpse explosions, Soulrift, and Blight casts to trigger Shadow Blight effect. While the controls are somewhat cumbersome, the high damage makes survivability less of a concern in The Pit.

Golem Necromancer

Golem Necromancer received approximately a 60% damage buff compared to the PTR, and is expected to stack an additional 6 layers in The Pit. It doesn't rely on corpses, and Golem's casting provides an Unstoppable state, combining single-target and AoE damage for a more comfortable gameplay experience. However, its biggest drawback is survivability, so you'll need to be careful to dodge monster and bosses' skills.

If you prioritize stability, high damage, and high survivability, choose Shadow Blight Necromancer. If you want to challenge yourself with extreme damage, try new playstyles, and accept a fragile build, choose Golem Necromancer. These two are likely the highest-ranked Necromancer builds on The Pit and Towers leaderboards.

While classic Necromancer builds remain reliable, we highly recommend trying newer builds like Golem Necromancer and Affliction Necromancer. They're perfect for early-game leveling and endgame play, respectively, offering a fresh experience.

As an ARPG with a dark Gothic aesthetic and bloody visuals as its main art style, in addition to new playable content, the art design of new characters, scenes, and items is often a highlight of Diablo 4 updates.

Unfortunately, in recent seasons, Diablo 4 hasn't introduced enough noteworthy changes in these areas, except for Belial's return in Season 8, and the new boss Azmodan, who will appear in Season 11.

Both of these bosses appeared in Diablo 3 and have a close relationship. So, in what capacity does Azmodan return in Diablo 4 Season 11, and how should you defeat him? We will answer these questions for you.

Azmodan Background Story Summary

As the latest installment in Diablo series, Diablo 4 doesn't provide much explanation of many characters from previous games through the storyline, so you only know what you can gain from them, but not their origins.

While this doesn't affect the gameplay itself, knowing more is always a good thing, so we will briefly introduce Azmodan based on Diablo 3 main story.

Azmodan is one of the seven Lesser Evils, second only to Prime Evils. After collaborating with Belial to overthrow Prime Evils, they turned against each other, and Azmodan invaded Sanctuary to gain more power.

In the story of Diablo 3, Azmodan was defeated by the protagonists and imprisoned in Black Soulstone. However, due to the presence of a traitor, Diablo was summoned again and eventually defeated and imprisoned in Black Soulstone.

Afterward, Diablo and the souls of other Lesser Evils merged in Black Soulstone until Black Soulstone was destroyed, at which point they separated - these demons would escape and bring new disasters.

What Are World Bosses?

Azmodan joins Diablo 4 Season 11 as a new world boss and will be added to the game's spawn and rotation schedule along with the three existing world bosses.

World bosses appear at their respective locations every 3.5 hours, and you have 15 minutes to fight them. If you exceed the time limit, the boss will escape, but if you win within the time limit, you have a chance to obtain rare items and other seasonal rewards.

To help you find these bosses in a timely manner, the system will notify you when they are about to appear after you unlock World Tier 3 in Diablo 4.

Here are other world bosses besides Azmodan and their locations:

• Ashava, the Pestilent: May appear in The Crucible (Fractured Peaks), Scosglen (Caen Adar), and other arenas.
• Avarice, the Gold Cursed: May appear in Seared Basin (Kehjistan), Saraan Caldera (Dry Steppes), and other arenas.
• Wandering Death: May appear in Fields of Desecration (Hawezar), and other arenas.

Azmodan In D4S11

After Season 11 is officially released, from the perspective of the world boss mechanism, you may unlock Azmodan encounter in the following locations:

• The Crucible (Fractured Peaks)
• Scosglen (Caen Adar)
• Saraan Caldera (Dry Steppes)
• Fields of Desecration (Hawezar)
• Seared Basin (Kehjistan)
• The Cauldron (Nahantu)

In addition, as one of Lesser Evils, Azmodan has three other "companions" in Sanctuary who will appear in different endgame events. Defeating these Lesser Evils will unlock Season 11 seasonal power, Divine Gifts.

The other three Lesser Evils and their locations are as follows:

• Duriel - Helltides
• Belial - Pit of Artificers
• Andariel - Kurast Undercity

Azmodan And Divine Gifts

Divine Gifts include Corrupted and Purified powers. After defeating each Lesser Evil, you will obtain the corresponding Corrupted Essences and immediately unlock their corrupted slot.

Note that unlocking the purified slot requires you to reach a specific reputation level. The level corresponding to Azmodan is Rank VI, and the essences you can obtain are Essence of Sin and Essence of Hellfire.

How To Defeat Azmodan?

This boss is proficient in dealing fire and spell damage, so close combat is not recommended. Instead, with gear that increases movement speed and mobility, you should always attack from a medium to long distance behind the boss during the fight.

The boss's skills that last throughout the entire battle mainly include constantly moving fire spikes and lava waves. The spikes move slowly but deal high damage, while the lava waves constantly expand, making them difficult to avoid.

When you reduce the boss's health to 80% through attacks, he will periodically release a lava breath attack; you can avoid this damage by dodging in time. When Azmodan's health drops to 60%, he will summon a group of Balrogs to attack you.

All the above skills are manageable, but the real challenge comes when Azmodan's health is reduced to about 5%, at which point he summons many meteors that move towards him. You need to constantly dodge while attacking the boss until he dies.

After winning the battle, you can expect to receive items such as Exquisite Blood and Tribute of Radiance as rewards. Furthermore, the first time you defeat Azmodan each week, you'll receive exclusive loot and unlock even more rewards!

Can This Boss Battle Be Completed Solo?

Although world bosses aren't typically considered difficult, as a new boss, Azmodan will undoubtedly be challenging enough to highlight his uniqueness and importance.

Also, as you know, the overall difficulty of Diablo 4 will be increased after Season 11's release, so completing this boss battle solo is very risky - but not impossible.

To do this, you should first complete leveling and acquire several good unique items. Secondly, if you're playing Necromancer class, be sure to try Golem builds!

After Season 11 begins, there may be some changes to the details of Azmodan boss battle. You just need to pay attention to these changes based on this guide to confidently handle the fight. Good luck!

While Diablo 4 Season 11 made some adjustments to the early game difficulty, your leveling speed will still be quite fast if you kill monsters quickly enough.

Evade Spiritborn build, after several seasons of testing, has proven to be excellent for both leveling and endgame performance, and may be one of the best Spiritborn builds.

Evade Spiritborn Gameplay And Advantages

The core mechanics of Evade Spiritborn build revolve around Eagle Hall ability. Your skill tree should primarily focus on enhancing various damage multipliers. Use Evade to trigger Accelerated Thunderspike effect, unleashing a barrage of feathers at monsters for massive damage.

Evade Spiritborn build has been a Tier S leveling build for several consecutive seasons. It boasts extremely fast movement speed and monster-clearing efficiency, and its gameplay is very simple, and you just need to keep using Evade, and the flying feathers will automatically clear the monsters on the screen.

Impact Of Season 11

A bug in PTR 2.5.0 allowed gear like Loyalty's Mantle to provide double damage bonuses with Eagle Hall, resulting in excessively high damage. If this bug had been fixed, the reachable level in The Pit would have decreased by 10 levels (about level 100). This bug has been fixed in the official patch.

However, the developers also announced a rebalancing of the difficulty of The Tower and The Pit, reducing it by approximately 5-10 levels. Therefore, the actual strength of Evade Spiritborn is not expected to change significantly compared to PTR 2.5.0.

Additionally, the developers announced a 60% reduction in boss health, which will significantly speed up boss fights for this build.

Evade Spiritborn Leveling Build

Gear

• Helm: Aspect of Might (Neo + Qax)
• Chest Armor: Aspect of Layered Wards (Cem + Gar)
• Gloves: Rebounding Aspect
• Pants: Aspect of Disobedience (Emerald + Emerald)
• Boots: Duelist's Aspect
• Amulet: Aspect of Unyielding Hits (Skull)
• Ring 1: Conceited Aspect (Skull)
• Ring 2: Aspect of the Moonrise (Skull)

In the early game, you can freely use your two-handed weapon slot, using any magic, rare, or legendary weapon, focusing primarily on its pure damage to avoid wasting resources on Aspect engravings due to frequent upgrades.

Skils

• Thunderspike: Enhanced Thunderspike and Accelerated Thunderspike
• Crushing Hand: Enhanced Crushing Hand and Advantageous Crushing Hand
• Toxic Skin: Enhanced Toxic Skin and Measured Toxic Skin
• Soar: Enhanced Soar and Replenishing Soar
• Ravager: Enhanced Ravager and Measured Ravager
• Armored Hide: Enhanced Armored Hide and Reinforced Armored Hide
• Primary Spirit: Eagle
• Secondary Spirit: Eagle

From level 1 to 14, you can use basic skills like Stinger, Quill Volley, or Crushing Hand to level up. However, when you reach level 15, you must reset your skills and switch to Evade Spiritborn build.

Evade Spiritborn skill build is relatively flexible, and the overall strength is not significantly affected. Even if you don't have enough skill points, it won't affect your damage much, because skills like Thunderspike and Crushing Hand are mainly used to trigger effects.

Starting with the seasonal quests, unlock the reputation board on Normal difficulty, then equip your pet. Once you reach level 15, switch to Hard difficulty and use Crushing Hand to farm Helltide. Then farm Helltide until the first hour ends, and your character should be around level 30-35.

Then, run Vessel of Hatred Campaign on Normal difficulty until you unlock Kurast Undercity and obtain Runes Cache. Last, depending on your character's strength, continue farming Helltide on Expert or Penitent difficulty until you reach level 50. After that, clear Strongholds on Normal difficulty.

Evade Spiritborn Endgame Build

Gear

• Helm: Loyalty's Mantle (Qax + Cem)
• Chest Armor: Jacinth Shell (Emerald and Emerald)
• Gloves: Fists of Fate
• Pants: Temerity (Emerald and Emerald)
• Boots: Duelist's Aspect
• Weapon: Wushe Nak Pa (Ohm + Bac)
• Amulet: Aspect of Redirected Force (Skull)
• Ring 1: Conceited Aspect
• Ring 2: Aspect of Unyielding Hits (Skull)

In the mid-game, you can Temper your gear to gain damage affixes and reforge other attributes. Then, progress through The Pit to level 10 to unlock Torment I difficulty.

This build doesn't require any specific Diablo 4 items for a smooth transition from early game to endgame content, and you only need 3 items to handle most of the endgame content. One is the core item Loyalty's Mantle obtained by defeating Gregor, and the other is the Wushe Nak Pa and Jacinth Shell obtained by defeating Lord Zir.

Skills

• Armored Hide: Enhanced Armored Hide and Reinforced Armored Hide
• Concussive Stomp: Enhanced Concussive Stomp
• Thunderspike: Enhanced Thunderspike and Accelerated Thunderspike
• Counterattack: Enhanced Counterattack and Reinforced Counterattack
• The Seeker: Harmonious Seeker and Exalted Seeker
• Rock Splitter: no

In endgame gameplay, you almost only need to frequently press the evade key, while other skills mostly provide buffs. For example, Armored Hide skill is only used to trigger Aspect of Unyielding Hits buff.

Spiritborn is one of the strongest classes in Season 11, and Evade Spiritborn is the most stable and safest choice. It can be strong from the start of the season to the end, without worrying about acquiring specific Diablo 4 items, and is arguably the best leveling build in the entire game. If you're not aiming for The Pit rankings, then this can be your best starting build for Season 11.
