Diablo 4 World Bosses Boost

Season 9 finally sees the arrival of an insane Druid build. This build lets you blink like crazy in The Pit, destroying every enemy within. The clearing speed of this build is top-notch; if you can replicate it, your only concern will be whether your computer can handle the rapid blinking.

This build has already destroyed 147 The Pit instances, and in the video, they dealt a staggering 2,957,400,000,000,000,000 damage to the boss—it'll take you a while just counting the zeros. This build relies on Horadric Spells in addition to Diablo 4 items, and let's take a look at the skills and items required for this build.

Pros And Cons

Earth Spike Druid build allows for unlimited teleportation and deals incredibly high damage, making it incredibly fast whether you're farming dungeons or Infernal Horde. This build has incredibly fast teleport speeds, much faster than Sorcerer or any other class build. If you're looking to have a good time before Season 10 arrives, you absolutely must try it.

Secondly, this build has numerous protective abilities, making it incredibly tanky and difficult to kill in most situations, making it well-suited for Hardcore mode.

This build does have some drawbacks, of course. First, its high damage is inherently unnatural; it exploits a bug, but this bug has been around for a long time and hasn't been fixed, so you can play for a while without worrying about it suddenly breaking.

You can exploit this bug to achieve a one-hit kill on bosses (few bosses can withstand such high damage, after all), but triggering the bug takes time, and if you're not able to protect yourself in time, you'll be killed by the boss.

Another drawback is its high gear requirements. Not only mythical items but also your other gear needs to upgrade by Temper and Masterworking system to get the affixes up to par, requiring a significant investment in Diablo 4 gold and affixes.

Earth Spike Druid Gear

• Helm: Vasily's Prayer (Bac and Xan)
• Chest Armor: Shroud of False Death (Igni and Qax)
• Gloves: Aspect of the Rampaging Werebeast
• Pants: Stormshifter's Aspect (Sapphire and Sapphire)
• Boots: Hectic Aspect
• Weapon: Shard of Verathiel (Emerald)
• Amulet: Aspect of Adaptability
• Ring 1: Ring of Starless Skies (Elemental Brand)
• Ring 2: Aspect of the Rabid Bear (Luminate Eye)
• Offhand: Aspect of the Moonrise (Emerald)

This build only requires two unique items, but it's still quite difficult to obtain because you need to obtain two mythic items. Vasily's Prayer's main function is to convert your Earthquake skill into a Werebear skill, granting her the benefits of Grizzly Rage and Aspect of the Rabid Bear.

As for affixes, since you rely primarily on Earth Spike for damage rather than regular attacks, you'll want affixes like cooldown reduction and increased Earth skill damage. The better your gear, the higher your cumulative damage.

Earth Spike Druid Skills

• Debilitating Roar (Rank 1): Enchanced Debilitating Roar and Innate Debilitating Roar
• Blood Howl (Rank 1): Enchanted Blood Howl and Innate Blood Howl
• Cyclone Armor (Rank 1): Enchanted Cyclone Armor and preserving Cyclone Armor
• Grizzly Rage (Rank 5): Prime Grizzly Rage and Supreme Grizzly Rage
• Hurricane (Rank 1): Enchanted Hurricane and Savage Hurricane
• Earth Spike (Rank 5): Enchanted Earth Spike and Wild Earth Spike

Spirit Boons

• Deer: Wariness
• Eagle: Swooping Attacks and Avian Wrath
• Wolf: Energize
• Snake: Obsidian Slam

This build mainly relies on Earth Spike to trigger Catalyst skill for flash. Pulverize has higher damage, but since it requires a target to use, while Earth Spike doesn't need this, only Earth Spike allows you to frequently flash to other areas.

When paired with Horadric Spells for quick flashing, Earth Spike's damage is sufficient to kill most normal monsters. The remaining skills are primarily used during boss fights, where their primary purpose is to deal with them. Most of these skills are used to enhance survivability, making this build highly survivable.

Horadric Spells

Catalyst (Earth Spike)

• Cosmic Anomaly: Manifest up to 5 Anomalies, which emit particles that deal damage over 4 seconds. You can cluster Anomalies and implode, each explosion dealing damage. With 5 Anomalies, you become unstoppable.

Infusion

• Corrosive Vapor: Changes the damage dealt by your Cosmic Anomaly to poison damage and disables the life steal of monsters for 5 seconds.

Arcana

• Sapping Crux: Your Catalyst ability makes enemies vulnerable.
• Floaty Bobble: You can flash to the explosion created by Cosmic Anomaly and remove the debuff.
• Gleaming Conduit: Amplifies Catalyst abilities.

Horadic Spells are the core of this build. Simply cast Earth Spike to trigger Cosmic Anomaly and Floaty Bobble, allowing you to quickly teleport around the map. You can switch between the other two Arcanas based on your farming goals.

This is the most crazy Druid build that will make it easy to clear The Pit in Season 9. This build primarily exploits bugs, so some players might not like it. However, if you're looking to bid farewell to Season 9 and wait for Season 10, I recommend giving it a try before you leave, and it's a very enjoyable build.

While Diablo 4’s endgame isn’t as extensive as Path of Exile 2 and Last Epoch, it still offers a number of high-quality dungeons and activities for farming gear, materials, and leveling, such as Horadric Strongrooms, Kurast Undercity, and Infernal Horde in Season 9.

In terms of material yields like Diablo 4 Obducite, Infernal Horde falls short of the previous two, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad endgame activity. Because the Infernal Horde spawns many monsters, and leveling in Diablo 4 is based on monster counts, the Infernal Horde is an excellent leveling activity for players just reaching the endgame.

Leveling is only one aspect of Infernal Horde; don’t forget it also yields a significant amount of materials. To maximize your gains, you’ll need a good farming strategy.

Infernal Horde Guide

Infernal Horde is a wave-based survival mode where you face waves of monsters, culminating in a battle against three Corrupted Council bosses. Each wave begins with a 60-second timer. Unlike the timer in Kurast Undercity, you only need to survive for 60 seconds, not kill all the monsters within 60 seconds. Whether you survive or kill all the monsters, the wave ends.

The player’s primary goal is to earn Burning Aether by killing monsters. These are exchanged for Spoils of Hell at the end of Infernal Horde, which contain items such as Diablo IV Obducite, gold, and elixirs.

After completing each wave, players must choose one of three Infernal Offers, which affect the amount of Burning Aether earned each round, and the monsters encountered. Each Infernal Offer has both positive and negative effects. During each wave, you’ll also trigger Aether Events. Completing these events will earn you more Burning Aether.

Unlocking Infernal Horde events requires Infernal Hordes Compass, which is no longer craftable in Season 9. However, you can get it from dungeons, Helltide, and Whisper Chests.

Infernal Offers

To effectively utilize Infernal Horde, you need to understand the various Infernal Offer mechanics. Different combinations of Infernal Offers can affect Burning Aether drops, and some poorly chosen Infernal Offers can even lead to failure!

The types of Infernal Offers are as follows: 

• The Aether Rush
• The Burning Hellborne
• The Burning Rain
• The Bursting Fiends
• The Bursting Masses
• The Corrupting Spires
• The Draining Spires
• The Enfeebled Wanderer
• The Exalted Council
• The Exalted Elite
• The Exalted Hellborne
• The Exalted Hordes
• The Exalted Masses
• The Exhausted Wanderer
• The Gorging Masses
• The Insatiable Spires
• The Invigorating Hellborne
• The Stalking Devil
• The Summoned Hellborne
• The Summoned Lords
• The Surging Elite
• The Surging Hellborne
• The Teeming Masses
• The Unstoppable Elite
• The Withered Wanderer

Preparation And Strategy

Since players have multiple arsenals, in addition to dealing with The Pit, Bosses, and Nightmare Dungeons, you’ll also need a build specifically for clearing Infernal Horde.

Strategy 1: Hellborne

Hellborne offers the most generous rewards, so to maximize your Burning Aether gains, you’ll want to choose Infernal Offers that are closely tied to Burning Aether. The Surging Hellborne is the best choice, but The Invigorating Hellborne doesn’t provide any Burning Aether benefits.

You can choose from the following Infernal Offers:

• The Summoned Hellborne
• The Burning Hellborne
• The Exalted Hellborne
• The Surging Hellborne

Strategy 2: Aether Fiends

If you don’t encounter any Hellborne-related Infernal Offers, you still have other options. Aether Fiends offer quite good rewards, and if you choose The Surging Elite, your Burning Aether gains will be second only to The Surging Hellborne.

The Infernal Offers you can choose from are as follows:

• The Exalted Elite
• The Surging Elite
• The Unstoppable Elite
• The Teeming Masses
• The Summoned Lords

Strategy 3: Fixed Rewards

Sometimes you may not receive any of the above Infernal Offers. This isn’t the worst of it; you still have some options. While their rewards are average, they’re also not too difficult.

The Infernal Offers you can choose from are as follows:

• The Burning Rain
• The Enfeebled Wanderer
• The Exalted Council
• The Withered Wanderer
• The Stalking Devil

Strategy 4: Optional

If you don’t receive any of the above Infernal Offers, Infernal Offers you should choose are mainly to make the next wave less difficult.

Infernal Offers you can choose from are as follows:

• The Exalted Hordes
• Invigorating Hellborne
• The Bursting Masses
• The Exalted Masses

Strategy 5: Bad Choices

Some choices will slow down your activity, add extra events, or even cause you to die mid-game. Avoid these.

The Infernal Offers you shouldn’t choose are as follows:

• The Gorged Masses
• The Corrupting Spires
• The Insatiable Spires
• The Bursting Fiends

Infernal Horde Rewards

Infernal Horde’s main rewards are Obducite and Scroll of Restoration. Caches also contain materials and even unique weapons. However, Obducite and Scroll of Restoration come from different chests. Scroll of Restoration comes from Spoils of Greater Equipment, while Obducite comes from Spoils of Materials.

The amount of loot varies across Torment levels. Below is the amount of Diablo 4 Obducite found in Obducite Caches at each Torment difficulty level.

• Torment 1: 40 Obducite
• Torment 2: 80 Obducite
• Torment 3: 160 Obducite
• Torment 4: 320 Obducite

This concludes your Infernal Horde farming strategy. If you have extra Infernal Horde Compasses in your inventory, you can just use them all and farm for materials by Infernal Horde.
