Diablo 4 has revealed that Season 8 will feature new Legendary Aspects and Unique items for players to grind. This was one of the revelations made at the Campfire Chat on March 7, in which the developers shared with the Diablo 4 community what to expect from the next season of Blizzard's action RPG.
Players will have a lot to look forward to, such as the return of Belial to Diablo 4. One of Diablo 3's enemies, he'll be part of the major boss ladder rework. Another novelty will be the Apparition Incursion, a new event in which players of any difficulty level can team up and face the Apparition Monsters, Belial's soldiers. To face the new challenges of the upcoming Diablo 4 season, another change will happen to help players.
Diablo 4 Has Great News For Battle Pass Haters
Diablo 4 boss Rod Fergusson has great news for players who don't like the way the game handles its Battle Pass.
When the eighth season begins, the six Diablo 4 classes will have a new Unique item and a new Legendary Aspect to equip. For Barbarians, it will be the Bane of Ahjed-Den gloves, which will increase the damage of the next Mighty Throw. Druids will receive the Gathlen's Birthright, a helmet that increases the gain of Anima of Forest as a human. Necromancers will get the two-handed sword Sanquivor, Blade of Zir, which will make summons and the Army of the Dead even more lethal. Band of Ichorous Rose, the Rogue's gloves, gives several improvements to the Poison Trap, and the Hail of Verglas helmet will give Wizards extra ice shards and increase their damage. Spiritborn will gain the Sunbird's Gorget amulet, which provides bonuses when picking up Storm Feathers.
Diablo 4 Adding New Unique Items and Legendary Aspects in Season 8
Diablo 4's Legendary Aspects are a key part of gameplay, and for Barbarians, Season 8 reserves the Aspect of Delayed Extinction, which multiplies the damage of Mighty Throw and Steel Grasp. Druid skills will deal more damage with Aspect of Impending Deluge, and Aspect of Service and Sacrifice will turn Necromancer Warriors and Skeleton Mages into lethal weapons. Aspect of Contamination will make the Rogues' Poison Trap even more deadly. At the same time, Sorcerer and Spiritborn will deal more damage with the new Shivering Aspect and Rip and Tear Aspect, respectively.
While the new Unique and Legendary Aspects will be incentives for players to continue grinding, Diablo 4's Season 8 update will make adjustments to the general Uniques that already exist in the game, those being Fist of Fate, Azurewrath, and Frostburn, along with the Aspect of Concussive Strikes. In addition, the game will also make changes to the existing Uniques and Aspects for each class.
