General News

With Diablo 4 2.5.0 PTR coming to an end at 11:00 AM on October 28th, it's time to take a break from the excitement of previewing Season 11 and focus on finishing up Season 10, especially with the game introducing two new events specifically for this occasion.

These two events are Mother's Blessing and Seasonal Splendor. The former is a long-standing favorite for all Diablo 4 loyalists, while the latter is a brand-new addition to Season 10 Chaos Perks mechanic.

Interestingly, both events coincide with Halloween 2025, but Diablo 4 doesn't seem to be planning any Halloween-themed events, either through these events or through additional new events, which may be puzzling.

With this in mind, we'll provide a detailed introduction to each of these events and analyze the lack of a dedicated Halloween Diablo 4 event.

Mother's Blessing For The End Of Season 10

Mother's Blessing is a recurring event in the game that occurs almost every season, typically mid-to-late in the season. It accelerates you to complete character leveling or Season Journey before the end of the season.

This Mother's Blessing begins on October 28, 2025. While a specific end date has not yet been announced, it will probably last for one to two weeks (a week is more likely).

During Mother's Blessing, you'll receive a 35% increase in XP earned from completing battles, and a 50% increase in Diablo 4 gold drops. This will help you level up your character or Paragon board faster and accumulate more resources.

Note: If you own buffs like Elixirs, you can use them simultaneously during Mother's Blessing. This will combine the benefits of both buffs, accelerating your progress through Season Journey and Reliquary Battle Pass, allowing you to unlock higher-level rewards.

Additionally, during Mother's Blessing, completing Tree of Whispers bounties will earn you bonus Gift of the Tree caches when you turn in Favors.

Seasonal Splendor Event

This event begins the same day as Mother's Blessing and is expected to end on November 3rd. Its purpose is to increase the amount of Infernal Warp you receive through battles during this week.

This item can be used to upgrade your Seasonal Power Chaos Perks. Exclusive to Season 10, you can equip up to four Chaos Perks of varying rarities per battle, boosting the power of your character and builds.

The more Infernal Warp you possess, the stronger your Chaos Perks and, ultimately, your character. To maximize the benefits of the Seasonal Splendor event, you should choose the most efficient way to farm Infernal Warp during this period.

Currently, you can obtain this item by finding Chaos Rifts spawning in Helltides and Nightmare Dungeons. Infernal Warp is dropped by monsters in rifts, and the rewards for sealing rifts also include Infernal Warp.

In Helltides, Chaos Rifts spawn randomly and can be identified and found by their icons on the minimap. However, this farming method is highly random and requires competition with other players, so Nightmare Dungeons are more recommended.

First, Nightmare Dungeons are privately created and cannot be entered by others. Second, when you add Infernal Warp Reserve affix to a dungeon, Infernal Warp is guaranteed to drop after the battle is completed.

Why Are There Still No Halloween-Specific Events?

In fact, not just this year, Diablo 4 has not held any special Halloween-themed events since its launch. Honestly, this is quite strange, as Diablo 4 already has many horror elements that are well-suited to Halloween, and it would be a shame not to utilize them.

Holiday celebrations not only enhance the festive atmosphere in the game, but also provide additional playable events and festive decorations to enrich your game collection.

Both the player community and developers have shared ideas and concepts for Halloween events in Diablo 4 across various platforms, most of which are quite interesting and definitely worth implementing.

The most famous of these was probably the Headless Horseman, proposed by Diablo 4's lead combat designer, Owen Leach. He envisioned this enemy, like Butcher, randomly dropping into Sanctuary during Halloween, offering both frights and rewards.

However, two years after its release, none of these ideas have been implemented into the game, which is a bit of a shame. But it's not just Halloween; while Diablo 4 holds a fair number of events annually, few of them embody the elements and atmosphere of the real holidays.

It seems that for Diablo 4, simply having an event to celebrate is enough; the event itself doesn't need to forcefully reflect the characteristics of a real holiday. Take, for example, Midwinter Blight event held last December.

While this might feel a bit unfortunate, from another perspective, it makes the game feel less connected to the real world and more distant, making every story about Sanctuary feel like it actually happened in another world, not just fiction.

Whether you agree with this or not, this is indeed what makes Diablo 4 unique. Every game should have something irreplaceable that makes it unforgettable, right?

Regardless of how Diablo 4 plans its Halloween season, you can't miss Mother's Blessing and Seasonal Splendor events. These events are about to start, so get ready! And Season 11 is expected to launch on December 9th!

There's no Halloween event for Diablo 4, but don't worry, IGGM has an exclusive Halloween discount for you! Until November 5th, use the holiday promo code "HW2025" to enjoy 8% off IGGM Diablo 4 products!

Diablo 4 PTR 2.5.0 will bring a host of dramatic yet exciting changes, revising many fundamental aspects of the game, including armor and potions. As the pinnacle of the game, Mythic items are also receiving some buffs.

Knowing that not all Mythic items are useful, will the adjustments in Season 11 make some previously useless Mythic items useful again? Let's take a look at the core changes they've received in PTR.

Melted Heart Of Selig

• Change: Added an effect that increases your primary resource by 3% per point in your primary stat.

This is the most impactful item change of the season, as it grants all classes a mana shield-like effect, allowing you to treat your resources like a second health bar.

Since late-game characters typically have around 2000 primary stats, this represents a 6000% increase in the resource cap. Combined with the base resource attributes, your resource pool can easily reach tens of thousands of points. However, items will first use resources to absorb damage. You need to maximize resource generation and utilize out-of-combat resource recovery mechanics or immunities to keep the resources at a healthy level, or you will be very vulnerable.

Many of the percentage-based recovery and resource consumption effects listed in the patch notes have been capped to prevent them from being overpowered or completely incompatible with Melted Heart of Selig.

Ahavarion Spear Of Lycander

• Changes: Unchanged.

While it hasn't received any changes, it is a beneficiary of the Season 11 defense system changes. With the new defense system's uncapped resistances, the all-resistance and movement speed bonuses provided by Ahavarion Spear of Lycander have become more valuable.

Furthermore, its Lucky Shot recovery of 66% of primary resources modifier has not been nerfed. If your build relies on Lucky Shots, Melted Heart of Selig and Ahavarion Spear of Lycander will provide a next-level survivability boost. This item has great potential for speedrunning low-level The Pit or Torment IV, but may not be useful for high-level The Pit.

Shattered Vow

• Changes: Increased the duration of damage over time from 44% to 111%.

Shattered Vow acts as a direct damage multiplier, especially for spells that consume DoTs, with virtually no downside.

This significantly improves Spiritborn builds (such as Pestilent Swarm and Touch of Death). Barbarian builds with Rend or Bleeding may also consider using this item, as Barbarians have more weapon slots.

Tyrael's Might

• Changes: Updated the All Resistance attribute to +80 All Resistance, and changed the resistance percentage to Maximum Resistance.

Tyrael's Might is expected to become a top-tier defensive item. Combined with the new system, it significantly increases resilience to elemental damage. Furthermore, officials indicate that there will be stronger monsters, longer encounters, and a slower game process - all those will make this type of pure defensive item more valuable.

Andariel's Visage

• Changes: Removed the inherent poison resistance reduction and increased the maximum poison resistance to +666 poison resistance.

Andariel's Visage's exceptionally high poison resistance makes it nearly immune to poison damage, and its health-on-hit modifier has skyrocketed in value in Season 11, with the overall healing nerf. It provides powerful instant regeneration for multi-attack builds.

Furthermore, with the nerf to Masterworking, the attack speed and strong regeneration provided by Andariel's Visage are less than before, which will narrow the gap between it and Harlequin Crest.

Ring of Starless Skies

• Changes: Unchanged.

Due to its excellent and versatile stats (core skill damage, attack speed, critical strike chance, and resource cost reduction), it remains a top-tier pick. While Masterworking nerfs have reduced its absolute stat boost, its position remains strong.

Doombringer

• Changes: Unchanged.

The bonus health and damage reduction provided by Doombringer, along with its special Lucky Hit heal, are invaluable in the current heal-scarce meta. Doombringer is a solid choice for solving defensive problems, especially in hardcore modes or scenarios where survivability is crucial.

Heir Of Perdition

• Changes: Unchanged.

Heir of Perdition remains a top-tier helm. However, like Ring of Starless Skies, it has been impacted by Masterworking nerf, causing it to lose ground to other Diablo 4 mythic items.

Harlequin Crest

• Changes: Unchanged.

The damage reduction, + All Skill Levels, and armor provided by Harlequin Crest are all valid in Season 11. However, with the nerf to Masterworking, its cooldown reduction stat won't reach its previous maximum. For builds heavily reliant on cooldown reduction, it may revert from a game-changer to a very powerful item.

Shroud Of False Death

• Changes: Unchanged.

The +1 to all passive skills provided by Shroud of False Death is extremely powerful, typically providing a 50-70% damage increase and a host of utility and defensive stats.

While its resource generation and all-stat affixes synergize well with Melted Heart of Selig, some builds may opt for Tyrael's Might for ultimate defense in extremely challenging situations.

The Grandfather

• Changes: Unchanged.

The Grandfather grants a 100% increase in critical hit damage, but this effect requires 100% critical hit chance to fully function, which is more challenging given the increased difficulty of stacking critical hit chance in the new patch.

When a player's gear has reached its peak through Divine system and can no longer be improved through unique items, The Grandfather, a Diablo 4 item with excellent stats and no conflicts, may be the ultimate upgrade.

Nesecem, The Herald

• Changes: Unchanged.

While Nesecem, The Herald appears powerful, its performance is anything but. Its effect only marks one enemy, making it practically useless in combat. Furthermore, it's a two-handed weapon, requiring two slots, sacrificing significant damage to use it, making it practically unsuitable for Spiritborn builds. However, it's not entirely without value. If you're planning to buy Diablo 4 gold, selling it could net you hundreds of millions of gold, though it won't be as valuable as the other items.

Diablo 4 PTR 2.5.0 changes have successfully increased the value and usability of most Mythic items. While Nesecem, The Herald remains a minor drawback, overall, players will have more meaningful choices when building their gear, and you can test it out on PTR.

While the upcoming 2.5.0 PTR release suggests the challenges of Season 11 are imminent, Season 10 isn't over yet, and you'll need to continue working hard based on your Season 10 character's traits.

As you know, Druid class has become one of the most popular classes in Season 10 thanks to numerous buffs. If you're a Druid fan, there are plenty of builds to try, each with its own distinct focus.

So, if you're looking to focus on damage output, we recommend Pulverize Puddle Druid build. It currently offers the highest DPS in the game, helping you quickly clear enemies and earn a ton of Diablo 4 gold.

Next, we'll explain the specifics of this build and how to craft it.

Pulverize Puddle Druid Build Overview

This build primarily relies on Rotting Lightbringer Ancestral Unique, making it available during Season 8 and receiving several buffs in Season 10. This makes it easy to farm and level in Season 10.

This build uses numerous powerful puddles of water for splash and attack, helping you quickly clear multiple levels of The Pit or other challenging dungeons, even in the endgame. The occasional bug where venom didn't splash has also been fixed in Season 10.

Notably, Rotting Lightbringer ensures that every attack has an overpower effect, and adding the unique Chaos Perk Brawn Over Brains to this build grants a 125x overpower boost. Of course, there are many other perks worth acquiring, which we'll discuss in detail later.

The Most Important Gear

A key piece of gear for Pulverize Puddle Druid build, Rotting Lightbringer can be obtained as a drop from defeating bosses Vashan and Urivar. Its primary function is to force Pulverize to form a puddle if there aren't any nearby.

This gear also ensures you have an Overpower effect and a poison effect that deals 200-600% of its normal damage over 7 seconds.

In addition, Pulverize itself causes all nearby puddles to splash damage equal to 20-60% of their total damage in a larger radius. The larger Pulverize radius, the greater the damage of the puddles and their splash damage.

Interestingly, with the addition of Chaos Armor in Season 10, you can now also place this gear in your boots. This allows you to double the damage output of your entire build while retaining Pulverize effect.

Adding Banished Lord's Talisman amulet also grants a 72% increased damage multiplier and higher-level core abilities. After ensuring you have all the above gear and can properly combine and utilize them, it's recommended that you also equip the following items:

• Heir of Perdition
• Shroud of False Death
• Shockwave Aspect
• Tibault's Will
• Aspect of the Ursine Horror
• Aspect of the Rabid Bear
• Aspect of the Rampaging Werebeast
• Ring of Starless Skies

It's worth mentioning that while Aspect of the Rabid Bear has been slightly nerfed, placing it in a two-handed weapon slot can balance this out, allowing the gear to still be effective in combat.

Available Skills

As the build name and overview suggest, the first skill worth mentioning is Pulverize. Originally, this skill allowed you to transform as a Druid into a Werebear, slamming the ground to deal damage to nearby enemies.

Now, combined with the venomous splash effect created by the puddle, Pulverize's overall damage output has been significantly increased. This is one of the main reasons why Pulverize Puddle Druid build is considered having high DPS.

Another indispensable skill is Grizzly Rage. Its basic effect is somewhat like a more powerful version of Pulverize, allowing you to transform into a Dire Werebear for ten seconds, gaining damage reduction and dealing increased damage.

More importantly, Grizzly Rage's damage increases with increased duration/boss suppression time, as well as the number of enemies killed. This means that the deeper the fight progresses, the stronger you become. Of course, you still need to ensure your health is safe.

Detailed Explanation Of Suitable Chaos Perks

First, the already mentioned unique Chaos Perk Brawn Over Brains not only provides increased Overpower effects, but also increases your maximum health and allows you to receive more healing during combat.

While this perk also brings a debuff - your maximum resistance and armor damage reduction cap are both reduced - it generally works well with our recommended gear and skills, making the entire build stand out in Season 10 compared to other seasons.

Besides this perk, which is best left unchanged, you can adjust the other three equippable perks before battle based on the enemy types you'll encounter. However, in most cases, we recommend the following three:

• Purge the Infected
• Overabundance
• Crazy Brew

To obtain these perks, you must continuously farm Helltides and Nightmare Dungeons during Season 10 to find and complete more Chaos Rifts, which will earn you Chaos Powers and Infernal Warp drops - the latter helping you level up the former.

Notes On Choosing This Build

While we say Pulverize Puddle Druid build is suitable for leveling, it's not the best choice. However, you can switch to it immediately after completing your leveling.

As you can see from our introduction, compared to other high-level Season 10 builds, Pulverize Puddle boasts high DPS while maintaining a simple skill and gear combination, making it easy to master.

In fact, the only tricky aspect of this build is that you must obtain Rotting Lightbringer to function effectively. But honestly, almost all Diablo 4 builds require at least one unique item as a core, so this is completely acceptable.

That's all for this introduction. If you think this build is right for you and you already have Rotting Lightbringer, now's the perfect time to utilize it to complete your final farming for Season 10!

While it's possible to obtain Rotting Lightbringer by farming bosses, it's much quicker to get cheap Diablo 4 Rotting Lightbringer from IGGM! And if you're looking to buy other related gear all at once, IGGM Diablo 4 items for sale page also caters to that!

Diablo 4 Season 10 was an absolutely fantastic season. Chaos Armor significantly increased the power of various builds, resulting in The Pit generally ranking higher this season than in Season 9. However, many casual players aren't chasing high level The Pit, often stopping as soon as they reach level 100.

This season, reaching level 100 is also much faster than before, allowing you to clear a map in under a minute. Let's take a look at the fastest and most enjoyable builds.

Rank 1 Death Trap Rogue

While Rogue was frustrating at the start of Season 10, the recent patch has completely saved the class. You can take advantage of the significantly improved Chaos Perk - Hit and Run. This Perk allows you to stack damage while moving (up to 9 stacks), dealing massive damage.

You simply need to keep moving to deal damage, and Death Trap skill can gather monsters and instantly eliminate them. You can spam Death Traps all over the map, and the server will struggle to keep up with your spamming.

On open maps, Death Trap Rogue can achieve an astonishing 45-second clearance. A potential drawback to this build is that your armor or resistances won't reach their maximum, forcing you to dodge monster attacks. However, if you can clear monsters in a few seconds, this shouldn't be a problem.

Rank 2 Raven Companion Druid

Raven Companion Druid relies on auto-aiming with Raven skill. The auto-aiming mechanic works great on a controller. This build is perfect for dead gamers because it's a one-button, easy-to-use build.

If you want to boost your damage, you can use the perk to Snapshot, but it's not necessary, and your Raven is already devastating enough. In 100 The Pit, it took only about a minute to clear the entire map. Despite its high damage, its Diablo 4 item requirements aren't too high, meaning it still has plenty of damage even without Mythic items.

Rank 3 Evade Thunderspike Spiritborn

Evade Spiritborn's core ability is Thunderspike. Evade resets its cooldown, and automatically unleashes Thunderspike whenever you dodge, balancing efficiency and damage.

This build excels not only in speed, but has already reached 140 The Pit. While not as fast as the previous two builds, it's still very fast, with an average time of around two and a half minutes on The Pit 120. This build is also well-suited for casual players, as it's relatively simple and highly effective.

Rank 4 Bone Spirit Necromancer

Bone Spirit Necromancer's main gameplay is using Bone Spirit to launch Bone Splinters, creating a high AoE damage around the player. The core of this build is Gospel of the Devotee paired with Shattered Spirit's Aspect. These two items give you a powerful way to deal damage. To further increase your damage, you'll need to farm Chaos Armor.

You can also use Jah Rune to replace dodge with a mage-like teleport ability, combining high area damage for fast movement and clearing. This build is generally very efficient, with a Pit 100 clear time of around 90 seconds.

Rank 5 Lunging Strike Barbarian

Lunging Strike Barbarian primarily uses Lunging Strike for attack and movement. Use War Cry skills to boost your damage and utilize Jah Rune for continuous movement.

While Lunging Strike Barbarian deals decent damage, it relies heavily on melee combat and, compared to other classes, requires more time to pause and attack to deliver damage. It takes about two minutes to clear Pit 100, and its boss fights in high-level The Pit take significantly longer.

Rank 6 Ball Lightning Sorcerer

Ball Lightning Sorcerer is known for its fast movement and screen-clearing abilities. You can use your Teleport skill to move at high speeds while simultaneously releasing ball lightning to clear monsters in its path.

While Ball Lightning Sorcerer is highly efficient for leveling and farming Diablo 4 items, it requires multiple hits to kill elite monsters at Pit 100, while other top-tier builds can instantly dispatch them.

While it can still reach Pit 100, it takes over two minutes, significantly slower than other builds. However, it remains an excellent speedrunning build for lower-tier levels like The Pit or Torment IV.

The above rankings don't represent the actual performance of these classes in The Pit. If builds that adjust The Pit were ranked, the ranking would be as follows:

• Evade ‍Thunderspike Spiritborn (140 The Pit)
• Pulverize Druid (135 The Pit)
• Bone Spirit Necromancer (126 The Pit)
• Death Trap Rogue (124 The Pit)
• Hydra Sorcerer (124 The Pit)
• Lunging Strike Barbarian (122 The Pit)

If you're simply aiming for The Pit Rank, then every player should play Spiritborn. However, even if you manage to reach 150 The Pit, you won't receive any unique rewards. Therefore, it is crucial to choose a class and build that you enjoy.

Of course, high-level The Pit also tests a player's mastery and development of their build. If your gear isn't top-notch, you won't even be able to reach the bottom of the leaderboard. If you also want to challenge The Pit, you can buy Diablo 4 gold and items at IGGM.com to complete your build as quickly as possible.

Besides the standard gear and combat buffs provided by your class-specific skills, the most effective way to improve your game in a new Diablo 4 season is through its new mechanics, which are both powerful and well-suited for the current season.

One of the new mechanics in Season 10 is Chaos Armor, which ties into the season's Chaos theme and can be earned by playing Infernal Hordes or Nightmare Dungeons with Chaos Rifts affix.

It's important to note that there are a lot of Chaos Armor available, but the amount you can carry per battle is limited. Furthermore, these armor pieces are divided into general and class-specific categories.

Therefore, you must be extremely careful when choosing Chaos Armor to avoid wasting the opportunity to gain buffs by equipping useless armor.

Since different classes have different Chaos Armor options, this article will use Necromancer class as an example to introduce several unnecessary armor pieces.

Black River

Corpse Explosion is an essential skill in most effective Necromancer builds, allowing you to use corpses to create explosions, dealing further damage to surviving enemies.

Interestingly, Black River, as one of the new buffs, enhances Corpse Explosion's power. It increases Corpse Explosion's damage by consuming 4 additional corpses, increasing its size by 60% for each corpse consumed.

On the surface, this seems like a good synergy, but anyone familiar with Necromancers knows that Corpse Explosion is often used as a support skill alongside Blood Wave or Bone Spirit in these builds, as its own damage isn't particularly strong.

Thus, while Black River improves Corpse Explosion's effectiveness, in actual combat, this buff is minimal and doesn't play a crucial role - you could simply equip more valuable armor.

Deathspeaker's Pendant

While Black River at least enhances Corpse Explosion, Deathspeaker's Pendant is almost completely useless against Season 10 Necromancer.

This perk grants you Blood Surge ability, which deals 103 damage to enemies by unleashing a mini-nova on your minions. This damage increases by 10% for each target consumed, up to a maximum of 50%.

Unfortunately, Blood Surge builds are inherently weak in Season 10, and the fact that they require you to sacrifice minions makes Deathspeaker's Pendant nearly useless. This armor is incompatible with Blood Surge builds.

Mutilator Plate

This armor suffers from a similar issue as Deathspeaker's Pendant. Its affix grants you Blood Lanced, which then damages enemies, further strengthening you as you deal damage.

At first glance, this might seem like a boost to your damage and survivability, but it only works when paired with Blood Lance Necromancer build, a low-tier build in Season 10 that you'll rarely use.

Ring Of The Sacrilegious Soul

This armor is decent on its own, but its limitations mean it's more suited to players who prefer to minimize button presses. If you're someone who prioritizes the impact and skill of combat in Diablo 4, you might not appreciate it.

This ring automatically casts Raise Skeleton, Corpse Explosion, and Corpse Tendrils on nearby corpses, creating a useful skill cycle for continuous damage output. However, if you're very selective in your skill rotation, it can actually limit you.

The Mortacrux

As a gear affix, The Mortacrux isn't a bad Chaos Perk. It grants a 48% chance to create a rotten Skeletal Simulacrum when you consume a corpse, which then explodes upon death, dealing 548 damage.

Thus, The Mortacrux increases the chance of Corpse Explosion dealing double damage and increases Hewed Flesh level. However, when applied to specific builds, its synergy isn't very good and could even undermine the overall build.

The Unmaker

This armor actually originally had advantages, providing Soulrift with increased duration, making it more useful in Shadowblight Necromancer builds.

Unfortunately, other Season 10 seasonal mechanic, Chaos Perks, includes Alter the Balance perk, which directly makes Soulrift a core skill, allowing you to cast it continuously as long as you consume enough Essence.

This makes the bonus provided by The Unmaker seem unnecessary, as Soulrift has no cooldown as long as you always have Essence.

What Are More Other Chaos Armor Options For Necromancer?

While the six armor pieces above won't be particularly helpful for playing Necromancer, there is more Necromancer-specific Chaos Armor waiting to be acquired and used:

• Bloodless Scream
• Deathless Visage
• Ebonpiercer
• Gospel of the Devotee
• Lidless Wall
• Ring of Mendeln
• The Hand of Naz

Or general armor is also acceptable. While these might not be as suitable as exclusive armor, the benefits they provide are still significant. Choose the one that suits your combat style.

• Banished Lord's Talisman
• Crown of Lucion
• Endurant Faith
• Fists of Fate
• Flickerstep
• Godslayer Crown
• Locran's Talisman
• Mother's Embrace
• Paingorger's Gauntlets
• X'Fal's Corroded Signet

Of course, to obtain enough Chaos Armor, you'll need to frequently farm Nightmare dungeons with Chaos Rifts affix, or clear Infernal Hordes and defeat the final boss, Bartuc. The higher the difficulty, the higher the chance of a drop.

In short, we hope you'll become a powerful Necromancer in Season 10 by effectively selecting and equipping Chaos Armor that suits you! We wish you success!

In fact, it's actually faster to buy Chaos Armor you want at IGGM Diablo 4 Items for sale page than to farm it yourself! Check Chaos Unique Armor option and enter the armor name to instantly find and buy it!

In Diablo 4 Season 10, Rogue wasn't very strong compared to other classes, arguably even one of the weakest classes of the season. However, patch 2.4.1 significantly buffed both Rogue and Barbarian, making Rogue incredibly powerful, easily reaching level 100.

Besides the strong Death Trap Rogue build, Dance of Knives Rogue is also very strong, with no noticeable weakness from level 1 to the endgame.

Dance Of Knives Rogue Pros And Cons

Pros

Dance of Knives Rogue is available early on. From levels 1 to 60, you can farm all the XP and Diablo 4 gold requirements with just Dance of Knives and Shadow Imbuement.

Aspect of Bursting Venoms and Aspect of Contamination make poison traps your true primary damage source, and they're easy to obtain. Even without Mythic items, you can farm Torment 4 bosses and events.

Paired with Legendary runes, it provides a constant shield throughout the fight, giving you decent survivability.

Cons

Dance of Knives Rogue's damage relies heavily on Lucky Hits, so without consistently high Lucky Hits, both its output and barrier will be inconsistent.

Additionally, item selection presents a trade-off, forcing you to balance survivability, sustained damage, and burst damage. Otherwise, you risk not being able to reach your maximum armor or resistances.

Dance Of Knives Rogue Skills

• Second Wind (Rank 3)
• Innervation (Rank 3)

Key Passive Skills:

In the early game, you primarily rely on Dance of Knives and Poison Imbument for damage. Later in the game, the primary source of damage shifts from Dance of Knives itself to the explosive poison damage from the poison traps it triggers. Damage can reach into the tens of billions, allowing you to easily melt bosses.

How To Use Skills?

• 1. Activate Poison Imbued and hold Dance of Knives to weave through the enemy horde.
• 2. The high hit rate of Dance of Knives triggers Aspect of Bursting Venoms, which continuously spawns poison traps. The poison traps explode, dealing massive area-of-effect poison damage.
• 3. If you encounter elite enemies or bosses, simply use Dance of Knives around them; the poison traps will take care of everything.

Dance Of Knives Rogue Equipment

Torment Equipment:

• Helm: Cowl of the Nameless
• Chest Armor: Scoundrel's Leathers
• Gloves: Fists of Fate
• Pants: Umbrous Aspect
• Boots: Penitent Greaves
• Amulet: Aspect of Bursting Venoms
• Ring 1: Conceited Aspect
• Ring 2: Aspect of Noxious Ice
• Ranged Weapon: Aspect of Contamination
• Dual-Wield 1: Aspect of Star Shards
• Dual-Wield 2: Aspect of True Sight

The Pit Equipment

• Helm: Heir of Perdition
• Chest Armor: Fists of Fate
• Gloves: Bands of Ichorous Rose
• Pants: Umbrous Aspect
• Boots: Scoundrel's Leathers
• Amulet: Bursting Venoms Aspect
• Ring 1: Conceited Aspect
• Ring 2: Ring of Starless Skies
• Ranged Weapon: Contamination Aspect
• Dual-Wield 1: Star Shards Aspect
• Dual-Wield 2: True Sight Aspect

Gear on Torment difficulty differs slightly from that in The Pit. Ring of Starless Skies provides extreme damage, but you will lose some attribution in defense. Don't hurry to improve your damage unless your Diablo 4 items have perfect affixes.

When prioritizing weapon affixes, prioritize Poison Trap Duration, followed by Vulnerable Damage, and finally Agility and Maximum Health.

For rings, prioritize increasing elemental resistances. Once resistances are full, choose Energy Cost Reduction or Critical Chance. For Amulets, prioritize increasing skill levels, followed by Movement Speed ​​and Maximum Health.

Chaos Perks

• Hit and Run (Rogue · Unique): For every 15 meters you move, your damage increases by 50-70% [x].
• Enervated Strikes (Rogue · Rare): No longer gains passive energy, but enhances all skills.
• Power Siphon (All Class · Rare): Reduces resources and significantly improves core skills.
• Accelerating Chaos (All Class · Magic): Lucky hits have a chance to trigger a Chaotic Burst.

Paragon Board Route

• Headhunter
• Deadly Ambush
• Leyrana's Instinct
• Danse Macabre

Dance of Knives Rogue offers simple gameplay and fast farming, making it ideal for players who enjoy a quick and exciting experience and those who prefer a speed-based approach. However, achieving high level The Pit requires a high level of affixes. This build may not be suitable for players who seek extremely stable single-target damage and are unwilling to invest a large amount of Diablo 4 gold and materials to roll for gear with appropriate affixes, or for players who don't like to build around lucky hits.

Regardless, Dance of Knives Rogue is an alternative for players who enjoy playing Rogue. It doesn't have the highest damage, but it's definitely the most efficient. You might go from level 1 to level 100+ The Pit in just a dozen hours.

However, you'll need the right affixes and gear to achieve this. You can buy reliable and fast Diablo 4 items and materials at IGGM.com to quickly build the best Dance of Knives Rogue.

As we all know, each Season Journey system provides players with a set of directions and objectives from the early stages of the game to the endgame, divided into seven chapters, each of which provides a rough guide to the player's progress.

Season Journey objectives are wide-ranging, and the challenge increases as the chapters progress. However, each chapter of Season Journey only requires completing a certain number of objectives to complete and receive generous rewards.

The Destroyer Chapter

So, here we want to show you how to complete the final chapter of Season 10: The Destroyer. More importantly, completing this final chapter also rewards you with Resplendent Spark, which is why this chapter is so important.

Destroyer Chapter has a total of seven objectives, but players generally only need to complete six of them to receive the rewards.

Before we begin, I must remind you that many objectives in Season 10 require players to equip at least one piece of Chaos Armor. If you haven't already, heading to Torment III and farming Bartuc boss is the most efficient option. Without further ado, let's take a look at all the objectives for completing this chapter!

1. Entropy

The first objective, which should be easy to complete, is Entropy: you need to deactivate 15 Chaos Rifts within 30 minutes.

That sounds like a lot, but it's not. The fastest way to complete it is to obtain or craft three Nightmare Sigils with Chaos Rifts affix and farm them in Nightmare Dungeons.

Why three? Because in Torment IV, each Nightmare Dungeon contains five Chaos Rifts. Depending on your luck, you might even encounter some smaller dungeons that will allow you to complete this objective in a shorter time. Generally speaking, the only dungeon type you should avoid is the one in Nahantu, as those are larger and require more time to explore.

2. Chaos In Hell

The second objective you should complete quickly is Chaos in Hell: This requires you to wear Chaos Armor, reach the maximum Threat level, and kill 200 monsters before Hellborne arrives.

Threat level is a measure of Helltide's danger level. It increases as you kill stronger monsters and unlock Tortured Gifts of Mysteries. Once you reach max level, it depletes, summoning Hellborne.

The strategy for this season is simple. Before you reach max level, you need to find a Chaos Rift, preferably of Rare or Legendary rarity. Killing any monster in a Chaos Rift is a breeze, but most importantly, if you successfully kill a Chaos Bringer, you can steal its power. This makes killing those 200 monsters much easier.

Once you've sealed Chaos Rift, continue on your way, killing as many enemies as possible, making sure not to miss any that spawn from Hellwyrms. Following this method, you should be able to reach the goal on your first try.

3. Lootmaster

The third objective, and perhaps the easiest to complete in The Destroyer Chapter, is Lootmaster: you need to open 10 Tortured Gifts in a single Tortured Gifts run in Torment 4 Helltide.

To complete this objective, you must first disable Cross-Network Play in the options menu. This reduces the number of online players, eliminates issues like lag and stuttering, and makes farming Chaos Rifts much smoother.

Next, of course, you should enter a freshly refreshed Helltide, or at least when it has 40 minutes left, so you have plenty of time to collect Cinders and open chests.

Note that the only activity you need to do is farm Chaos Rifts, regardless of type. The average Chaos Rift in Torment 4 gives you about 40 Cinders, but because you're also killing monsters between rifts, you'll quickly rack up hundreds of Cinders.

But that's it. Once you've collected around 1,000 Cinders, open all the chests you can, except for Mysteries Chests, as they're very expensive. Aim to open any chest that costs 75-150 Cinders.

One final piece of advice, of course, is to avoid dying, as you'll lose your hard-earned Cinders. But if you do die, you can still complete the objective as long as you have time.

In short, once you open your 10th Tortured Gift, you'll receive a notification that the objective has been completed, and you're done.

4. Mastery Maker

Next, let's look at Mastery Maker objective: you need to complete five Torment 4 Local Events with Mastery within 30 minutes.

To complete this objective, I recommend heading to Helltide and farming the orange circles that appear in Helltide. I strongly recommend disabling Cross-Network Play as well, as some players can complete them before you reach the event, which is not a pleasant experience.

Another method is to farm the events that appear in Nightmare Dungeon. The only problem is that these events are sometimes difficult to find, and sometimes triggering them requires clicking on a treasure chest, well, corpse, or other obscure object.

5. Bloodstained Chaos

The fifth objective on this list is Bloodstained Chaos: you need to collect 1,000 Aether from a single Infernal Hordes encounter in Torment 4 while wearing Chaos Armor.

The first step to completing this objective is to obtain a 10-Wave Infernal Compass, simply because the more waves you play, the greater your chance of collecting Aether.

Last but not least, you need to complete every Chaos Wave that appears, as each wave offers a large amount of Aether. If you happen to encounter The Butcher, killing him will even give you 100 Aether instantly!

6. With Sand To Spare

Another objective to earn rewards is With Sand to Spare: it requires you to complete The Pit at level 75 or higher in under 10 minutes. This objective shouldn't be difficult regardless of your build.

To survive The Pit, it's crucial to ensure your resistances are maxed out and your armor is at 1000 at Tier 4. Additionally, upgrade your gems to the highest level and Masterwork all your gear to level 12.

Additionally, you'll need to master your tactics, avoid death, avoid ground effects, and use Shrines to your advantage.

Completing these six objectives will complete The Destroyer Chapter and earn your rewards. Rewards include:

• Guardian Of The Sanguine Grove (Emblem)
• Chaotic, Warlord (Player Titles)
• 1 Resplendent Spark
• 4 Smoldering Ashes

7. Pinnacle Of Chaos

Finally, there's another objective in The Destroyer Chapter. While it's not required, if you're a season completer or just want to complete it, the final and most difficult objective in Season 10 is Pinnacle of Chaos: defeat Lilith while wearing Chaos Armor in Torment 4.

Since Diablo 4 Season 10 removed the boss's invincibility phase, this goal is now achievable, and if you're willing to invest more Diablo 4 gold to increase your character's DPS, you can even kill Lilith with one hit.

So there's no specific strategy here; just upgrade your gear to the highest level and ensure your attack power is at least billions to have a chance of defeating Lilith. A good way to measure this is to see if you can beat The Pit at level 95 or higher.

In addition to dealing damage, in Torment 4, you also need to max out your resistances and boost your armor to 1000, as a single hit from Lilith will probably kill you. So, don't worry about movement speed or anything else; just deal as much damage as possible and finish her off.

Finally, completing this objective isn't necessary, but if you make the effort and kill Lilith, congratulations! You've officially completed all objectives in Season 10 Season Journey!

To be honest, besides the enticing rewards in Season Journey, challenging and defeating Uber Lilith has always been a pursuit for countless players, as it proves their prowess.

Regardless, now's the perfect time to push your limits. If you want to improve your win rate, in addition to the above, you can also buy safe and affordable IGGM Diablo 4 Gold to quickly upgrade your equipment and increase your character's damage, enabling you to kill Lilith with one blow!

Today, we're discussing the best build for Necromancer players in Diablo 4 Season 10. It's Shadow Bone Storm Necromancer, which uses the shadow-tagged Bone Storm as its primary damage source while also creating devastating Tornadoes for exceptional DPS and screen-clearing damage!

Honestly, Shadow Bone Storm Necromancer build will definitely hold its own higher in the season 10 leaderboards as the game progresses, as its superior survivability and mobility will allow you to go further in the endgame.

If we had to choose a rival build, it would probably be Chain Lightning Sorcerer build. However, if we're focusing solely on its suitability in Infernal Hordes, we still recommend Bone Storm Necromancer. Because this build leverages the seasonal mechanic, Bone Storm, your ultimate, becomes a continuously usable core ability, allowing you to spawn Tornadoes almost continuously, instantly killing enemies before they can react. It's insane!

So, how do you build this S-tier Shadow Bone Storm Necromancer? Let's take a look from our perspective!

Tornado Summoning

First, how do you summon so many Tornadoes? This is a very common question. Actually, it's all thanks to the new Chaos Perk in Season 10, Alter the Balance.

This unique power transforms your basic core abilities into ultimate abilities with cooldowns, while also making your basic ultimate abilities core abilities with no cooldown but costing Essence. This is also how you get Shadow Bone Storm, turning it into a primary damage source for Tornado spamming.

Normally, it doesn't have the same effects as Shadow, but you can convert it into Shadow, gaining all the non-physical damage and all Shadow stats we'll be getting.

Chaos Perks

As for Chaos Perks, you can run Marred Guard for extra armor, as this build is definitely more fragile than Sorcerer, but if you're just doing Torment 4, that's fine.

You can also run Decimating Desecration, which significantly boosts your DoT damage by an amount equal to your critical strike chance. Ideally, you should aim for 100% critical strike chance in this build. Of course, you can also guarantee critical strikes with specific rune combinations.

Crazy Brew is also a good option. It converts your Healing Potions into Chaos effects, providing a powerful buff to all classes and reducing resource costs by 100%. So, I actually highly recommend targeting Crazy Brew, as it gives you insane attack speed. More importantly, it's how you cover the entire screen with Tornado.

If you're interested in farming The Pits, I also recommend Alternating Alterations, which enhance your core skills, increasing damage and partially refunding the resource cost of your next non-channeled core skill after using another core skill. With this Chaos Perk, Bone Storm Necromancer is absolutely capable of running The Pits 100+.

Skill Setups

Next, let's take a look at the skills required for Shadow Bone Storm Necromancer and why we should use them.

In most cases, all you really need to do is use Bone Storm. The remaining skills are chosen simply because they are Darkness Skills that gain bonuses when equipped.

As for Book of the Dead, this provides new powers for customizing your Necromancer minions - or sacrificing them for their abilities. This allows us to not only deal increased Shadow damage, but also gain the bonus of Skeletal Mages, meaning Overpowered damage.

Golem Sacrifice can also be used to gain additional critical damage, and sacrificing a summoned golem provides a permanent passive benefit.

Gear

Regarding the gear choices for this build, I must state upfront that we're not considering Diablo 4 gold cost here; we're more focused on getting the most out of it.

First, we'll be using Lidless Wall constantly. This allows us to trigger Lucky Hits and a chance to summon Bone Storm again when we activate Bone Storm.

Also, we'll encounter all sorts of crazy Tornadoes in the game, and you'll need to leverage Bone Storm to deal double damage. Fists of Fate is a great addition here, granting you a ton of attack speed and critical hits, and it also has a chance to crowd control enemies with Lucky Hits, which is definitely useful.

Then we'll be using the Banished Lord's Talisman, as it's a core skill that guarantees Overpowering your next core skill after spending your primary resource, and Overpowered Critical Strikes deal even more damage.

Reaper's Pursuit is here simply to deal more damage with Ebonpiercer. We've also thrown in an add-on item I think is pretty cool, called Bloodless Scream. It boosts the level of our Darkness Skills. Then, we use Aspect of Ultimate Shadow to transform Bone Storm into a Darkness Skill.

Next, we focus on Finality, which increases damage dealt by 5% for 8 seconds after casting your Ultimate Skill, allowing our Tornado to deal more damage.

After that, we absolutely must use Aspect of Shielding Storm, as it boosts our survivability. Every time Bone Storm damages an enemy, you gain a shield equal to 1-8% of your maximum health for 10 seconds. You can also use Amulets to maximize your health, but if you want more damage, use any item that increases damage.

Finally, Ring of Starless Skies remains one of the best Mythic Unique Rings in the game. It reduces the resource cost of skills by consuming primary resources, increasing our damage by up to 50% for a short period of time. Meanwhile, engraving Aspect of Apogeic Furor on your gear can help you quickly increase the power of your character's Ultimate Skill.

In short, Shadow Bone Storm Necromancer combines Chaos Perks, critical damage scaling, and efficient cooldown management to deliver exceptionally high damage output. Its consistent screen clearing capabilities not only make this build highly efficient for farming gold, gear, and other resources, but also allow it to quickly dispatch even the most formidable Torment bosses.

However, as mentioned earlier, this high-DPS build requires optimized ultimate gear and Chaos Uniques, necessitating a high gold budget. If your gold inventory is running low, the large quantity of cheap and fast-delivering Diablo 4 Gold for sale on IGGM is sure to provide the relief you need!

At the beginning of every new season, Seasonal Reputation system is always a top priority for players, as it's the fastest way to obtain essential resources like unique items and Resplendent Sparks, which are crucial for crafting powerful Mythic Unique items and increasing character levels. Diablo 4 Season 10 is no exception.

In Season 10, farming Seasonal Reputation remains the best way to obtain all valuable items, including Mythic Uniques, Chaos Armor, and Infernal Hordes Compasses.

More importantly, by maximizing your Reputation gains, you can earn additional resources and even transfer these gains to other characters, accelerating your overall power and gear acquisition. This is why countless players are constantly searching for ways to optimize their Reputation farming.

But speeding up your reputation farming in Diablo 4 is actually quite simple: simply keep searching for Chaos Rifts as they spawn in Helltide and close them. This will earn you Seasonal Reputation and the seasonal currency known as Infernal Warp, which you can redeem for Reputation, and then exchange your Reputation for caches containing valuable loot.

Unlocking And Upgrading Seasonal Blessings

To maximize your farming gains, the first thing you need to do is make sure you use up Smoldering Ashes for the season to unlock and upgrade specific Seasonal Blessings. In fact, all Blessings, with the exception of Urn of Blazing Infernal, contribute to your reputation.

3 Effective Ways To Explore Chaos Rifts

Also, before you get started, there's one more thing to note. Lately, many players have been complaining about being stuck and feeling lost while traversing Helltide. Here are some tips to help with this.

First and foremost, remember that Chaos Rifts constantly spawn. Therefore, it's quite difficult to use up all of these rifts on a single interactive map.

1. Scourt The Map Thoroughly

So if you're having trouble finding spawned rifts, our first suggestion is to scout the map more thoroughly, as you might only be focusing on nearby Chaos Rifts.

2. Head To Another Area Within Helltide

If that doesn't work, you can try moving to another area within Helltide. Helltide always consists of at least two areas. In one of these areas, you'll find Whisper objectives, and this area is usually more crowded.

But if you're looking for a slightly less crowded area, you can go to another area. This area still has Chaos Rifts, but since there's no Tree of Whispers, it's less crowded, and naturally, there won't be as much Diablo 4 gold and loot to farm.

3. Quickly Travel To And From Helltide Via Portals

Finally, the quickest way to resolve this issue is to use a portal to teleport out of Helltide, wait outside for about 5-10 seconds, and then use the return portal to teleport back. This will bring you to a new stage, a new instance of the area.

However, the chance of encountering a rift using this method is entirely reliant on random chance. If you're lucky, a Chaos Rift will appear in this new instance; if you're unlucky, this still won't solve the problem.

Finally, I should mention that you can disable online play in the main menu settings, which theoretically reduces the number of players competing with you. However, this method may not work for every player.

How To Farm?

Once you've lucked out and found Chaos Rifts, it's time to get started with the looting process.

Choose Higher Rarity Chaos Rifts

First and foremost, it's recommended that you prioritize higher-rarity Chaos Rifts. For example, if I open a map and see five different rifts, I'll always choose Legendary Chaos Rifts, as they have a chance of giving me Chaos Armor, and Mythic Chaos Rifts, which have a small chance of giving me a Mythic Unique item.

So, if you see multiple rifts on the map, immediately hover your mouse over them to check their rarity, and try to prioritize Legendary or even Mythic rarity.

As for Magic and Rare Rifts, I don't think there's much difference between them, so the choice is yours.

Regardless, you should be happy to see any type of rift, and you should always try to open and close them for reputation building.

Choosing Useful Buffs

Now, one thing that's very important when building reputation in Season 10 is buffs.

You may have noticed that when you deal Chaos Rifts, a purple icon appears on your buff bar. This buff is mostly useless, but can be extremely useful in certain situations.

For example, you might randomly receive a useless buff that deals Shadow, Fire, Frost, or other damage, or it might randomly receive a buff that drops more seasonal currency when you attack an enemy. The latter is the buff you want.

Maximizing buffs is crucial to building up seasonal reputation. Therefore, I recommend that whenever you gain a buff, you hover your mouse over the buff icon in your buff bar and check to see if it's useful to you.

If you successfully gain this useful buff, you should kill as many enemies as possible around you, as they'll drop more Infernal Warps, the seasonal currency.

If you use this buff correctly, you can earn up to approximately 25,000 Infernal Warps per buff. This is a significant number, considering a normal Chaos Rift only drops 1 to 200 Warps.

Farming Tips

We've discussed the basics of this buff, so now let's discuss some tips.

Prioritize Killing Elite Demons

You might think you gain this buff by turning off Chaos Rift, but that's not true. You actually gain it by killing an elite demon. So, technically, even if you have Chaos Rift enabled, someone can steal your buff by killing the demon first.

Of course, I'm not suggesting you steal other people's buffs, but I'm suggesting you prioritize this Elite Demon, as it determines whether or not you'll receive this useful buff.

Open Helltide Chests As Much As Possible

As for another tip, I recommend opening as many Helltide Mystery Chests as possible, as they have a chance to contain Nightmare Sigils with Chaos Rift affix.

These Sigils are so important because you can simply use them to teleport into the dungeon, and then, without actually entering the dungeon, you can check the dungeon map to see if you have Legendary or Mythic rifts. If you do, you can complete the dungeon and receive Mythic Unique and Chaos Armor.

How To Use Reputation?

Finally, I want to talk about how to actually use your hard-earned reputation points.

There are two main ways to use Seasonal Reputation, each with different rewards. Therefore, it's crucial to understand the benefits of each method.

Unlocking Caches

The first method is slightly simpler and involves your character acquiring a repeatable cache on Reputation board. You can earn these caches for 110,000 Reputation points, and you can repeat this process an unlimited number of times. Each cache contains at least one piece of Chaos Armor, sometimes two, and an Infernal Hordes Compass.

Unlocking A New Character's Reputation Board

The other method is slightly more complex. In this case, you'll need to obtain scrolls from the seasonal vendor next to Reputation board and then transfer them to a brand new character. This will eventually unlock the full Reputation board for this new character. You can then claim everything on this new Reputation board.

Summary

So, which way to spend Reputation is better?

With the first, simpler method, you'll receive at least one piece of Chaos Armor and one Infernal Hordes Compass, all for just 4,750 points.

With the other, more complex method, you'll receive a Resplendent Spark, for a total of four pieces of Chaos Armor, but you won't receive any actual Compass. All of this requires a total of 22,250 Infernal Warps.

So there's no single best way; it's more about what you need and which method works best for you!

Regardless, the most effective way to gain reputation in Season 10 is still farming Chaos Rifts in Helltide. But if you want to have smooth sailing in your farming process, it is crucial to buy safe and cheap Diablo 4 gold at IGGM.com to fully optimize your character equipment! Good luck!

While Necromancer in Diablo 4 Season 10 isn't the most powerful, it's still significantly stronger than in Season 9. Chaos Perks have significantly changed the gameplay of some Necromancer builds. For example, Bone Storm Necromancer's playstyle is more powerful than ever thanks to Alter the Balance, which allows you to turn your ultimate into a core ability.

Soulrift Necromancer, the meta build for Season 10 Necromancer, uses the same principles, but to maximize burst damage, you need a combination of various mechanics. Let's take a look at the skills and equipment required for this build.

Core Concept

The core of this build is to make Shadow Rift a core ability, spamming it frequently to trigger Shadowblight and deal incoming damage.

To achieve this, the two most important Chaos Perks are Alter the Balance and Crazy Brew.

Alter the Balance, obtained after defeating Bartuk on Torment 1 or higher, transforms Shadowrift into a core skill. Since Shadow Rift has no cooldown after becoming a core skill, but consumes Essence, Crazy Brew allows you to cast skills within five seconds of drinking without consuming Essence.

Shadowblight passive is also crucial: whenever your Shadow damage debuffs a target for 2 seconds, you trigger a Shadowblight explosion. This damage can be amplified by Corruption and Shadow Damage, up to a maximum of 450%.

Soulrift Necromancer Chao Perks

• Alter the Balance: This is the core of this build, transforming Shadowrift into a core skill.
• Accelerating Chaos: Reduces the cooldown by 0.5 seconds per cast, allowing for more frequent Corpse Tendrils and Blight.
• Erupting Chaos: This grants you a burst of additional Shadow damage, which can be used to stack Shadowblight.
• Crazy Brew: This Chaos Perk grants you bonus attack and movement speed after drinking a potion, and reduces Essence resource consumption by 100% for 5 seconds, allowing you to unleash Soulrift frantically within 5 seconds.

Note

Note that some of the passive skills above are only available if you have the DLC. Soulrift only  need rank 1,  you should avoid maxing it out, as upgrading them will increase potion recharge, which conflicts with the mechanics of Ember Glyph and Crazy Brew. All damage comes from Shadowblight, not from skill level.

Skill Rotation

• 1. Start with Reap, which provides damage reduction and attack speed buffs, and can spawn corpses.
• 2. Cast Decrepify (Decrepify Curse)
• 3. Cast Corpse Tendrils, gather monsters, and then use Blight.
• 4. Drink a potion to trigger Crazy Brew, then madly cast Shadowrift at level 5.
• 5. In between, you can cast Corpse Explosion, allowing you to stack more shadow damage on top of Blight.

Keep this cycle going every 5 seconds.

Soulrift Necromancer Equipment

• Helmet: Godslayer Crown
• Chest: Aspect of Hardened Bones (Cir & Wat)
• Gloves: Aspect of Grasping Veins
• Pants (Chaos Unique): Ebonpiercer
• Boots (Chaos Unique): Fists of Fate
• Necklace: Aspect of Decay
• Ring 1: Aspect of the Damned
• Ring 2: Sacrificial Aspect
• Weapon: Blighted Aspect (Zan & Qax)

The most essential Diablo 4 items are Ebonpiercer and Fists of Fate. Without them, your damage will be significantly reduced. The others are common aspects of necromancers and are relatively easy to obtain.

After reaching the endgame, you'll need to Temper your gear. The following affixes should be prioritized:

• Critical Strike Chance: Aim for as close to 100% as possible.
• Attack Speed: Allows you to cast Soulrift more quickly.
• Cooldown Reduction: Used for Corpse Tendrils and Blight.
• Primary Resource: Finding affixes on accessories that restore Primary Resource for Ultimate Skills helps maintain your skill rotation.
• Shadow Damage: Increases Shadowblight's damage to 450%.
• Armor and All Resistance: Improve survivability.

Soulrift Necromancer is a top-tier build with exceptional burst damage and map-clearing efficiency. It relies heavily on Season 10 Chaos Perks, combining multiple mechanics. While achieving the full version requires Diablo 4 Season 10, even a less-than-complete version is sufficient for all end-game content.

While Soulrift Necromancer isn't particularly gear-dependent, you'll need 100% critical strike chance and 450% Shadow Blight damage to reach its full potential. Without these, its mid-game experience is somewhat weak.

To achieve this, you'll need materials and gold to Temper and Masterwork your gear. If you're short on materials, you can quickly and easily buy Diablo 4 items and gold on IGGM.com.
