Diablo 4 Spiritborn Build

Diablo 4’s graphics and plot performance are the highest level among similar games, but its economic system is very backward compared to other games and cannot meet the needs of players at all.

The transactions between players have been filled with a lot of monotonous and repetitive content. The trading system in the game has become a specialty store for lair bosses materials, which reflects the big flaws behind the game.

Why Are Bosses Materials Traded Crazily?

If Diablo 4 items that players want to get the most are mythic items, they must be mythic items, because most endgame builds currently need them to solve problems such as resources or cooling. But the absolute majority of players definitely don’t have enough gold to exchange for a mythic item. If you don’t use third-party websites to take shortcuts, then what is the conventional method? The answer is to farm the lair boss.

Killing Belial, Duriel, Harbinger of Hatred, or Andariel has a higher probability of dropping legendary items, but it is only relative. Players have to farm nearly 100 bosses to get a mythic item, which may not be what they want items.

If you have enough materials in your backpack and your builds are powerful enough, you can defeat a Torment 4 lair boss in about 15 to 20 minutes, but this means you will waste over than 20 hours of boring time on this matter. If you are unlucky, it may take over than 30 hours. Not to mention that you have to take extra time collecting boss materials like Diablo 4 Betrayer’s Husk, which is completely garbage time for players. This is why the boss material trading every season is so crazy.

For ordinary players who do not participate in the trade, they may not see any Mythic item in the boss drops for a whole season.

Mythic Items Have Design Flaws

This abnormal trading shows that its essence lies in the flaws of the mythic items or equipment system. In the player’s build, the strong mutual binding of skills and equipment leads to not much room for the player’s build to adjust by themselves, but farming equipment is a chore.

For some players, the endgame is not about which builds are stronger, but what builds their equipment can match.

Mythic items have become the core components of builds because of their powerful effects, but it is really unreasonable that they are so difficult to obtain. Although there are ways to build them through Resplendent Sparks and Diablo 4 Runes in the game, it is also difficult to get Resplendent Sparks and high-quality Runes, which has become a source of pain for players every season.

Trading System

Diablo 4’s trading system is very inconvenient. It requires you to find the reason and the object of your transaction in the chat interface, and then you need to come to the same place and face to face to initiate the transaction. In addition to the bound items that cannot be traded, the items you can trade are as follows:

• Ordinary equipment
• Magic equipment
• Rare equipment
• Legendary equipment
• Unique equipment
• Mythic equipment
• Gemstones
• Elixir
• Materials
• Diablo 4 gold

This is undoubtedly an inefficient way of trading. This face-to-face trading method requires both players to be online at the same time. Every time the season is halfway through, the number of players will often be halved, and the difficulty of trading becomes much higher at this time, unless you join some player communities. So would it be better to add an auction house?

Why Is There No Auction House?

This problem can be traced back to Diablo 3. The developer tried to solve the problems left over from the previous generation and launched the official auction house, allowing players to use game coins and even real money to get equipment.

The transaction can be completed with a few clicks of the mouse, and the convenience is beyond doubt. However, this convenience has brought new and more serious problems: it greatly weakened the core fun of monster hunting, and the player’s game goal changed from “defeating the boss to get loot” to “farming gold for the auction house”.

The existence of the cash auction house has further promoted the P2W trend, seriously undermined the fairness of the game, and caused strong dissatisfaction in the community. What’s more serious is that the output of equipment in the game cannot be effectively controlled, resulting in too frequent value fluctuations.

How To Solve It?

Directly copying the auction house model of Diablo 3 has proven to be a failure, and completely copying PoE model may not be suitable for Diablo ecosystem. But perhaps we can learn from the experience of all parties and explore some compromise solutions:

It is possible to consider setting up a limited range of auction houses or trading boards, allowing only specific categories of items to be traded, while the most powerful unique equipment, legendary equipment with top affixes, or core rewards obtained through specific challenges, should be appropriately kept bound on pickup or restricted from trading to ensure that players still have enough motivation to challenge high-difficulty content in person.

We can also design reasonable transaction taxes, listing fees, purchase cooldowns, transaction quantity limits and other mechanisms to curb excessive speculation and market manipulation and maintain relatively stable prices.

Setting up more ways to create Mythic items can expand the gameplay of the game on the one hand, and reduce players’ unnecessary junk game time on the other hand.

Compared with the current game content, Diablo 4’s trading system is like a lame leg. It has begun to hinder the game and needs a thorough adjustment.

Diablo 4 Season 9’s Barbarian is perhaps the biggest unlucky guy this season. He has been greatly weakened and is far less powerful than before in terms of damage. But this is nothing for players who love Barbarian, because they will always explore the potential of Barbarian.

Lunging Strike Barbarian is the best Barbarian build so far. It performs well in farming gold, monsters, bosses and The Pit, and the key is that it is fun enough.

Pros And Cons

Lunging Strike Barbarian is a build that relies on Season 9 Barbarian unique equipment, Hooves of the Mountain God, because this unique item can mostly increase the damage of basic attacks. Therefore, its biggest disadvantage is that it relies on Diablo 4 items to run.

And when this build can run smoothly, you can feel that this build is not only tank enough but also has a fast attack speed and high damage, which can take you to smoothly destroy all enemies from Torment 1 to Torment 4.

Lunging Strike Barbarian Skills

• Lunging Strike Rank 5: Enhanced Lunging Strike and Battle Lunging Strike
• Ground Stomp Rank 1: Enhanced Ground Stomp and Strategic Ground Stomp
• Wrath of The Berseker Rank 5: Prime Wrath of The Berseker and Supreme Wrath of The Berseker
• War Car Rank 1: Enhanced War Car and Power War Car
• Challenge Shout Rank 1: Enhanced Challenge Shout
• Rallying Cry Rank 1: Enhanced and Strategic Ground Stomp
• Technique: 2-Hand Axe

Lunging Strike is the core of this build as a basic skill and the main damage output skill of this build.

The order of skill release is:

• 1. Wrath of The Berseker
• 2. War Car, Challenge Shout and Rallying Cry
• 3. Lunging Strike (continuous use)
• 4. Ground Stomp (resets Wrath of The Berseker)

In short, you need to use some skills to increase damage and defense before using Lunging Strike, Lunging Strike can trigger the damage increase provided by Hooves of the Mountain God, and finally use Ground Stomp to reset other skills when your rage is insufficient. When releasing this set of skills, you need to be careful not to let your fury reach zero.

Glyph Leveling Priorities

At different levels, it is recommended that you use the following glyphs as farming targets. After you reach the maximum level, you should farm The Pit as soon as possible to upgrade the glyphs.

Level 15

• Ambidextrous
• Wrath
• Challenger
• Revenge
• Marshal

Level 46

• Revenge
• Wrath
• Marshal
• Ambidextrous
• Challenger

Horadric Spells (Wrath Of The Berserker)

Catalyst: Disintegrate

Infusion: Nebulous Extract

Arcana:

• Reactive Ooze: Improves resource acquisition
• Bloody Charm: Executes enemies
• Fractured Core: Disables enemy resistance auras

Disintegrate can help Barbarian gather monsters and improve your farming efficiency. The choice of Infusion is not that important. Nebulous Extract can make the damage of the enemy you hit become 90% of the original, which is equivalent to providing you with 10% damage reduction. Arcana are some classic choices, and their main function is to let you farm faster.

The above is some basic information about Lunging Strike Barbarian build. It can successfully reach level 100 The Pit and its damage is the highest among all barbarian builds, and this build is also very tank, so you can also play it in hardcore mode.
