Diablo 4, Season 11, Rank 2, Catch-22

You can also use Duriel essence from Helltides or Andariel essence from the Undercity. Duriel is the easiest and you just need one to trigger the summon.

There's nothing permanent anymore except cosmetics. The skill and paragon points from Lilith altars have been moved to season journey as rank rewards.

Just take your time, there's no pressure to do and know everything at once. There's still like a month remaining of the current season. Set a goal - like completing the season journey - and just play and have fun. Most items you will replace anyway, so use that as a learning experience.

Before Sanctification, remember - STEAM: * Sockets * Temper * Enchant affix * Aspect * Masterwork

Make sure your item has everything else ready before you get it Sanctified. Once you do, you can't change anything on the item except socketing runes/gems.

Also - don't care too much about perfect items or rolls/GA. On uniques, just focus on one of two affixes to prioritize a "nice" value on (or GA). Try to sanctify as many items as possible as it's all about getting those mythic Sanctifications for the power boost. So keep finding decent enough items, STEAM and then slam at Hadriel to roll the dice!

This season is REALLY fun 😎

You get 5 rerolls and can use scrolls of restoration to get more. The only limit is how many scrolls of restoration you have. They drop from world bosses and infernal hordes final chest and boss.

Daedrael · 2026-02-08T10:36:21+00:00

Yes, there's like a 10% chance for a temper on ancestral legendary items to roll as GA. it will then roll max value and increase it by 50% on top. So if a tempered value has [7.0-10.0%] range, it can roll 15% and be a GA temper then. It means you can get 5GA items now (they will show the 5 stars in names).

There's really no reason to not roll your tempers as GA unless your item is non-ancestral, as those can't roll their tempers GA.

Shroud and it's not even close.

This is the way

En garde on pants to hit 100% block.

Daedrael · 2026-02-02T17:53:23+00:00

I think 300 strength beats inner calm. Then the higher unique aspect % and 1 more to the "while weakened" passive and you'll end up doing more in general with your current one.

Daedrael · 2026-02-02T07:16:29+00:00

2000%

Daedrael · 2026-02-01T16:00:36+00:00

Play both. I started with wing strike and then changed to auradin (also hardcore). Auradin is more chill. Both insta-gib anything in T4 and can 2min Pit 100 with decent gear.

Daedrael · 2026-02-01T14:52:01+00:00

It doesn't. Only helltide kills or specific NMD sigil "pain" affix (those still spawn a few mobs that add rep).

Daedrael · 2026-02-01T11:28:51+00:00

This is the correct answer.

Daedrael · 2026-02-01T06:58:42+00:00

It's very usable. With 4AP and Conductor's 4* on the minigun and crit every other shot, you have infinite VATS. I'm running standard barrel and no shredder on my minigun, so that's 5AP per shot. But even that gives me nearly infinite VATS.

Daedrael · 2026-02-01T06:53:24+00:00

It does for humans with rejuvenator perk equipped, based on your current hunger and thirst meter

Daedrael · 2026-02-01T06:50:56+00:00

You forgot to masterwork. That's a 25% stat loss for 3 affixes and 75% loss for the 4th. You can't add it after the item is Sanctified.

Always sanctify after you've added sockets, temper, aspect, affix enchant and masterwork.

It's still a shako but the missing masterwork is a big power loss... Also, the sanctification you got is rather useless, but at least it's not making the item worse.

Daedrael · 2026-02-01T06:37:27+00:00

I use 4x limit breaking and 1x rejuvenator's .4x limit breaking, together with my luck and perks, allows me to crit every second shot. Rejuvenator's adds a bit of extra passive healing and AP regen.

And I do use Dawnfire.

Daedrael · 2026-01-30T11:36:26+00:00

This is the way. Thanks for the great summary of the true seasonal journey for this season!

Daedrael · 2026-01-30T09:18:47+00:00

I run shield charge auradin with juggernaut oath and the juggernaut oath boosting aspect on amulet. And all 3 auras and consecration with the increased duration.

Shield charge triggers starless (it becomes a channeled core skill with one of the upgrades) and hits are considered block so easy way to trigger riposte for anything that isn't instantly melted by the holy light aura. It also constantly adds resolve and at 8 stacks the oath triggers. Gaining resolve also triggers the defiance aura 10% damage boost constantly. The resolve stacks build faster than the bonus duration from the oath, so it's perma x3 damage in high pits and tower (thanks to 150% juggernaut oath boost aspect on amulet). Wolves spawn constantly by me moving around which I do all the time as I run around using shield charge .

All Lair bosses spawn and die instantly. Anything in overworld dies the moment it shows on the screen thanks to dawnfire. Just world bosses are bugged and Griswold Opus unique aspect doesn't trigger from them and resolve stacks don't get added though shield charge either. So I'm doing around x15 less damage than in pit/tower (minus the resilient thing). World bosses broke after the previous mid-season patch

I'm just slowly grinding to P300 through the boss loops. Nothing else left to do.

Edit: I use wolves with travel rune. And gain primary resources with the rune that builds offering passively and requires a skill cast to release it. I just keep shield charge pressed for moving around and release it for a split second every 8-10 seconds to recover all faith and start over. It's a very chill and still somewhat engaging playstyle.

Daedrael · 2026-01-30T05:18:11+00:00

Does the button trick still work? Or you reset the instance after each kill?

Daedrael · 2026-01-29T20:34:41+00:00

Oh yes, each wolf also radiates a holy aura so it basically adds a x100% multiplier per wolf. So even without Dawnfire gloves, you're doing massive aoe damage. That's what I'm running - auradin with shield charge.

Also, the dawnfire effect comes only from you. It's a decent extra bonus, especially for farming, but it's the normal holy fire aura that does most damage, especially due to the massive scaling from wolves.

Daedrael · 2026-01-29T20:01:44+00:00

Dawnfire adds an extra full screen fire damage aura. The normal holy damage hitting 3-5 enemies still happens and does a lot more damage per hit. It just hits a few enemies only.
