Diablo 4 Items

Hello Wanderers, Diablo 4 Season 10 campfire chat is over. While you're all concerned about the power level changes for each class, which builds will dominate Season 10 meta?

The good news is that nearly every class has received a buff, the difference being the degree of buff, with Rogue receiving an insane amount. Let's take a look at the changes to each class and the meta.

New Chaos Armors

Before discussing the individual classes, we need to first discuss a very important change: each class has received a new Chaos Armor item, which has 20% higher stats than the original Diablo 4 items, significantly impacting a part of classes' power.

• Barbarian: Ramaladni's Magnum Opus
• Druid: Dolmen Stone
• Necromancer: Mutilator Plate
• Rogue: Scoundrel's Kiss
• Sorcerer: Esu's Heirloom
• Spiritborn: Sunbird's Gorget

Barbarian

Ramaladni's Magnum Opus has been added to Barbarian arsenal. This item provides significant buffs to all Barbarian builds, making it a game-changer for Barbarian class. It allows builds like Hammer of the Ancients Barbarian to retain their core unique items while still equipping Ramaladni's Magnum Opus, giving Barbarian a ridiculously powerful boost.

In addition to the buffs provided by the new Chaos Armor, the damage increase from Barbarian's Warcry effect has been increased from 40% to 50%, Barbarian's Chaos Perk, Single-Minded Fury, has also received a significant buff, making it a must-try.

Barbarian Meta Builds:

• Bash Barbarian Build (Ramaladni's Magnum Opus)
• Dual Basic Barbarian Build (Dual Threat + Unstable Power + Ramaladni's Magnum Opus)

Druid

Druid was a Tier S build on the PTR, but instead of being nerfed, it was buffed on the live server. Not only did its most insane Chaos Perk, Overabundance, remain intact, but its other Chaos Perks, Purge the Infected and Savagery, also received buffs. Purge the Infected deals bonus damage to poisoned enemies, while Savagery increases the damage of allies by 80%, making Companion Druid and Raven Druid very powerful.

Also worth mentioning is Dolmen Stone, which now appears in other locations like boots, freeing up the amulet slot and significantly improving Dolmen Stone Druids.

Druid Meta Builds:

• Puddle Pulverize Druid (Requires Overabundance, the strongest build)
• Werenado Tornado Druid
• Companion Druid
• Raven Druid
• Boulder Druid

Necromancer

Necromancer has been a strong performer for many seasons, and Season 10 is no exception. He offers a wide variety of new playstyles, especially with Alter the Balance, which turns his ultimate into a core ability. Builds like Bone Storm Necromancer rely heavily on this Chaos Power.

Bone Storm Necromancer is perhaps one of the fastest builds for leveling and farming Diablo 4 gold and materials in Season 10. By creating a screen-wide Bone Storm, it quickly strangles monsters, making it ideal for farming Season 10 Infernal Hordes(Remake).

As for the new Chaos Armor, it doesn't offer much of a power boost to Necromancer, and overall, it's probably not as impressive as Spiritborn and Druid builds.

Necromancer Builds:

• Shadowblight Necromancer
• Bone Splinter Necromancer
• Blood Wave Necromancer

Rogue

Rogue was woefully underpowered in PTR, and its Chaos Perks barely provided much of a boost. However, before Season 10 officially launched, Rogue's core abilities received a comprehensive buff, increasing the damage of all core abilities by 150%, or 2.5 times their original value. This buff could potentially bring back Death Trap build, as Death Trap can be converted into a core ability and benefit from the bonus.

Rogue Meta Builds:

• Death Trap Rogue (Tier S, Chaos perks and Paragon Buffs)
• Poison Twisting Blades Rogue (Tier B)
• McFlurry Rogue (Tier B)

Sorcerer

Sorcerer was already nearly invincible in PTR thanks to Mana Shield, but not only did it not receive a nerf, it actually became even stronger. Now triggers 5,000% mana regeneration as long as you haven't taken damage for 2 seconds.

Sorcerer's other Chaos Perk, Explosive Combinations, has been reworked. Casting a basic ability now increases Sorcerer's damage by 20% [x] for 5 seconds, stacking up to 3 times. This equates to another 60% [x] independent damage increase, a significant boost for builds using basic abilities.

Sorcerer Meta Builds:

• Hydra Sorcerer (does not work with Mana Shield)
• Ball Sorcerer
• Crackling Energy Sorcerer

Spiritborn

Touch of Death Spiritborn will be the strongest single-player build in Season 10, and its Diablo 4 unique items and Chaos synergize well. Spiritborn has already demonstrated its terrifying dominance on PTR. Spiritborn received no nerfs prior to the official launch of Season 10, and instead, several of its ultimate abilities received additional buffs, making Spiritborn likely the strongest class in Season 10.

Spiritborn Meta Builds:

• Touch of Death Spiritborn
• Payback Spiritborn
• Stinger Spiritborn
• Crushing Hands Spiritborn
• Quill Volley Spiritborn

Class Rank

So that's it for Season 10. Based on the meta builds for each class and the strongest builds for each class, the class rankings for Season 10 are as follows:

• Tier S: Druid, Spiritborn
• Tier A: Sorcerer, Barbarian, Necromancer
• Tier B: Rogue

The power of each class in Season 10 is set to be significantly higher than before because of Chaos Perks and Chaos Armors. Furthermore, all classes have been buffed, making many builds even more OP. Perhaps Season 10 Tier A builds will even rival the power of previous seasons' Tier builds.

The three Tier S builds in Diablo 4 Season 10 are expected to be Druid, Sorcerer, and Spiritborn. Spiritborn's advantage over the other two classes is its versatility, allowing you to choose a build that prioritizes survivability, high farming speed, or single-target damage.

When it comes to leveling, Spiritborn isn't weak either. If you're looking for efficiency, this build can get you to Torment 4 in under six hours. The most efficient Spiritborn build for farming Diablo 4 in Diablo 4 Season 10 is undoubtedly Evade Eagle Spiritborn. The key to this leveling build is to transition to Evade Eagle Spiritborn after level 15 gradually.

Early Stage

Before you begin your leveling journey, you'll need to prepare. First, you'll need to play on Penitent difficulty. This difficulty earns more XP and Diablo 4 gold, but the drop rate for Legendary items remains the same.

Next, set your pets, and they can automatically pick up gold and materials for you, which can save you time. Finally, don't rush to turn in Whispers. While they still provide XP, turning them in later will be more valuable.

LV1-15

• Crushing Hand
• Toxic Skin
• Ravager
• Soar
• Vortex
• Thunderspike

You need to learn Thunderspike first, as Accelerated Thunderspike allows you to cast Thunderspike while dodging automatically, leaving monsters vulnerable.

Your core skill is Crushing Hand because of its high damage and knockback ability. It's still powerful even in Season 9, and its damage will be increased in Season 10. Choose Enhanced Crushing Hand or Advantageous Crushing Hand for enhancements.

Of the other skills, Toxic Skin is your primary DPS skill, and Ravager increases attack damage and requires sustained use. Vortex can gather monsters, and Soar is a mobility skill that's crucial for survival, and you need to learn Enhanced Soar and Replenishing Soar as soon as possible.

Practical Combat

You need to ride your mount to fight groups of monsters and elites. If you encounter one or two isolated monsters, continue looking for the next group. After you've gathered the monsters while maintaining Ravager skill, alternate between casting Thunderspike and Crushing Hand.

If your health is low, use Crushing Hand aggressively; it provides a blocking ability. If you encounter too many shamans or enemies that can frighten you, retreat immediately. Immediately change to blue (magic) gear you pick up to increase your health, damage, or agility.

Also, use elixirs that increase health, agility, or damage, as monsters deal high damage in Penitent difficulty, making this a safer option to avoid death. Collect herbs along the way to craft elixirs, but don't force yourself to do so if you don't find any. Focus on killing monsters. Even if you don't craft elixirs, it won't significantly impact your leveling speed.

You can ignore events you encounter, as they are far less efficient than farming monsters.

Lv15-60

During the level 15-60 period, you'll need to use Diablo 4 gold to reset your skills and gradually transition to Evade Eagle Spiritborn.

Requirement skills are as follows:

• Thunderspike
• Armored Hide
• The Hunter
• Vortex
• Soar
• Vortex

After level 15, you'll need to obtain the branch leading to Eagle Primary Hall and make slight skill adjustments to cycle through Evade Eagle Spiritborn.

Toxic Skin can be replaced after level 25, as its poison damage still significantly increases DPS in the mid-game.

Equipment Selection

Since specific Aspects and Uniques aren't necessary and difficulty to get in the early leveling process, in the early and mid-game, you should primarily focus on finding Diablo 4 items that improve your attributes. Prioritize item modifiers, focusing on Health, Armor, and Dexterity.

After reaching Level 60, you'll need to obtain two key unique items: Wūshe Nak Pa and Loyalty's Mantle. These two items will be enough to advance to Torment 3 and 4 smoothly .

Below are some recommended aspects. If you don't have these, you can substitute them.

• Aspect of Disobedience (Pants)
• Duelist's Aspect (Boots)
• Aspect of Unyielding Hits (Necklace)
• Vehement Brawler's Aspect (Ring)
• Conceited Aspect (Ring)
• Aspect of Redirected Force (Weapon)

Tempering and Masterwork on weapons, rings, necklaces, and gloves prioritize increasing damage. Also, look for boots with affixes that reduce Evade cooldown, as these are ideal for Evade builds.

Leveling Path

Early on, utilize Vessel of Hatred Campaign Questline, Helltide, and Strongholds to level up. It's recommended to open Tortured Gifts with 15-20 minutes left in the event to maximize your chances of getting loot.

Because the event timer expires after 55 minutes, you must leave some time to unlock Tortured Gifts. Otherwise, your Aberrant Cinders will be depleted after Helltide ends, and 15 minutes is enough for you to earn valuable loot.

In the mid-game, after level 60, you'll need to temper and Masterwork your gear. You'll need to enter The Pit to reach T1 and continue farming Helltide and Nightmare dungeons to collect Diablo 4 Obducite and Forgotten Souls. You'll also need to farm Blood Maiden, Lord Zir, and Grigoire to compete for Wushe Nak Pa and Loyalty's Mantle.

By the endgame, you can fully complete your Evade Eagle Spiritborn build and move on to farming The Pit, tempering gear, or farming Mythic items.

Rapid leveling and farming are crucial in Diablo 4 Season 10, as Chaos Armor will undoubtedly increase farming pressure. This Spiritborn leveling build may address both issues.
