According to the latest news, Tank classes in WoW Midnight will be buffed in Patch 12.0.7.

This is quite surprising, because in past Patches, nerfing powerful classes has often been Blizzard's usual method for adjusting class balance. However, in Patch 12.0.7, they surprisingly didn't nerf the strongest Tank class in the current Patch - Brewmaster Monk - but instead buffed some of the weaker Tank classes.

This article will explain in detail how Patch 12.0.7 buffs Tank classes, helping you better prepare for the new Patch.

Blood Death Knight

Of all Tanks, Blood Death Knight's core mechanics are unique and perplexing for new players. This is because in WoW Midnight, Tank classes typically use abilities in advance, attempting to mitigate damage with shields or armor before the boss's attacks arrive.

But Blood Death Knight doesn't do this. Its core logic is called reactive damage reduction, which means first using its extremely high health to Tank damage, and then using its signature skill, Death Strike, to heal itself.

This rollercoaster-like experience of its health bar is thrilling, but it also leads to a fatal weakness: if the enemy enters their burst phase during Blood Death Knight's Death Strike cooldown, its health can often be reduced to almost zero within seconds, making it very easy to be killed instantly.

In the past, many players would use Gold to acquire numerous healing potions or wear equipment that increases health before entering a dungeon to cope with this situation.

However, in WoW Midnight Patch 12.0.7, Blizzard did three things. First, the parry chance of Dancing Rune Weapon has been increased from 20% to 25%, meaning Blood Death Knight can now completely block an attack.

Second, the stamina bonus from Blood Enhancement has been increased from 35% to 40%, further raising the ceiling of his base survivability. Third, the healing effect of Death Strike has been enhanced from 5% to 15%, resulting in a higher percentage of full health restored with each heal.

It's clear that these changes target Blood Death Knight's greatest weakness and enhance his survivability. However, as a precaution, Blood Death Knight players should still bring plenty of healing potions obtained from WoW Midnight Gold before entering dungeons, as his class characteristics make him easily killed, a point Blizzard hasn't changed.

Vengeance Demon Hunter

While Vengeance Demon Hunter is friendly to new WoW Midnight players, it has consistently underperformed in high-difficulty dungeons. In fact, its biggest problem stems from the fragility of its basic defensive skills - it often gets beaten up by enemies because of this.

In response, Blizzard made several adjustments in Patch 12.0.7: First, the damage reduction effect of Demonic Wards was increased from 8% to 12%, meaning that Vengeance Demon Hunter will have additional damage reduction regardless of their location;

Second, the stamina increase from Thick Skin was increased from 50% to 55%; third, the overall effectiveness of Fel Blood was increased by a full 20%.

Finally, the damage reduction provided by Void Reaver's Frailty effect was increased from 4% to 5%. If you've played this class, you'll know that Frailty is a curse your attacks inflict on the target, granting you damage reduction whenever the target of attacks you.

Protection Paladin

The changes to Protection Paladin are particularly noteworthy. First, Ardent Defender was already a powerful trump card for Protection Paladin, and after this change, the duration of this skill was extended from 8 seconds to 12 seconds, and the damage reduction effect jumped from 20% to 30%. This is fantastic news for Protection Paladin enthusiasts.

Secondly, Sentinel's duration has been increased from 16 seconds to 20 seconds.

Thirdly, Blessing of Dusk has become more interesting and counterintuitive: its damage reduction increases as your health decreases, and after WoW Midnight Patch 12.0.7, the cap of this increase has expanded from 10% to 20%.

While Tanks generally don't intentionally lower their health in dungeons - because that's a recipe for ins1tant death - the maximum benefit of Blessing of Dusk often remains theoretical. However, experimenting with this playstyle is worthwhile.

Finally, the stamina increase from Protection Paladin's Sanctified Plates skill has been adjusted from 5%/10% to 7%/15%. Stamina is essentially base health for Tanks, so this change effectively strengthens their health pool.

Protection Warrior

Protection Warrior has always excelled at dealing with melee physical attacks, but his defense is less robust against magical abilities and damage-over-time spells. Therefore, the main changes in WoW Midnight Patch 12.0.7 focus on increasing his magic resistance and providing minor damage reduction.

Specifically, firstly, Blizzard increased his Fight Through the Flames magic damage reduction from 4% to 6%; secondly, Phalanx's damage reduction was increased from 5% to 8%; and thirdly, the overall effect of Ignore Pain was increased by 8%.

While these changes enhance Protection Warrior's overall defensive capabilities, his defense may still be insufficient for battles with purely physical attacks. Players will still need to employ other methods - such as wearing gear obtained with WoW Midnight Gold that increases character defense or health - to prevent their characters from being killed.

However, there's a hidden highlight: Phalanx's damage reduction effect is stackable, and this stacking theoretically guarantees near 100% uptime - because as long as you play normally, you can repeatedly refresh your own damage reduction buff.

Therefore, the changes in Patch 12.0.7 can still improve the weaknesses of Protection Warrior to some extent.

The above are the enhancements made to Tank classes in WoW Midnight Patch 12.0.7. Two Tanks were not mentioned: Brewmaster Monk, who was already very strong and received no changes; and Guardian Druid, who also received virtually no changes and is therefore omitted.

Forza Horizon 6 fans, in less than a week, we'll be embarking on a brand new journey to Japan! In the lead-up to the game's official launch, a wealth of new information has already been revealed.

This is undoubtedly exciting, as we get a sneak peek at many vehicle details, the latest radio songs, a mysterious new auction house system, and even a free Car Voucher code you absolutely can't miss.

Car Pass Vehicles

Recently, some players have discovered vehicles that may appear in the upcoming FH 6 game within pre-loaded game files.

In addition to the vehicles already listed on the official website, some brand new FH 6 cars never before seen in the game are waiting to be discovered.

These include the classic, legendary 1998 four-door Nissan Skyline GTR and the newer 2023 Toyota GR Corolla.

Meanwhile, a new image promoting FH 6 Car Pass has appeared on Xbox store page, showcasing six classic car models, including 2008 Honda Civic Type R FD2, which will be available later. If you're interested, keep an eye on Car Pass updates after the game's launch.

Forza Community Changes

Next, let's hear some shocking news! The official announcement recently stated that Forza Forums, which have served as a vital communication channel between the official team and the player community, where players submitted modification suggestions, reported game bugs, and expressed their vehicle update requests, will be shutting down!

June 30th will be the last day this familiar community will be available to everyone, and it's important to note that the official statement explicitly states that they will not retain any content from this community.

If you have anything very important stored here, it is highly recommended that you properly save it elsewhere before it completely closes.

After Forza Forums close, a brand new feedback portal will replace it. According to the official statement, this portal will be more streamlined, integrated, and modern. Players can submit future feedback and suggestions here.

Auction House

Many speculated that an Auction House system wouldn't be included in this game, as it wasn't mentioned in official announcements or early news.

However, recently, the official Forza Horizon 6 account confirmed the existence of Auction House on several social media platforms. This is undoubtedly great news for players who enjoy participating in in-game car auctions, or those who like bidding on other players' car designs and are skilled at independently designing and modifying their vehicles.

Radio and Soundtrack

Are you still listening to the exciting main theme music from Forza Horizon 4 on repeat? Or do you have a soft spot for the Mexican-inspired soundtrack of the fifth installment?

We're thrilled to announce that the radio stations and music for this game have all been revealed.

Maintaining the impressively high quality of Forza Horizon series, the music boasts a very strong production team. You can find and listen to these tracks on music platforms now, or visit the official  website to see if any artists interest you.

New Body Kits

The latest FH 6 trailer showcases vehicles with a distinctly JDM style. For JDM enthusiasts, FH 6 might offer a chance to experience authentic JDM culture in Japan.

In previous Forza Horizon games, players complained that the customization system only allowed for repainting, not modification of specific parts.

However, prior to release, we learned that this time, in addition to selectable aerodynamic kits, players can also customize wheels and rear wings. The latest trailer also reveals several new body kits for specific vehicles.

Free Car Voucher Codes

You can find collaboration information on the official Forza Horizon 6 website. Each player can obtain a free Car Voucher code by registering or logging into accounts on certain partner websites. This Car Voucher code can be redeemed for any vehicle in the game after its official launch.

This means that if you want to get one of the best-performing vehicles in the game right from the start, you don't need to spend too much time and effort accumulating Forza Horizon 6 credits by challenging different races. Simply enter a redemption code to choose any car you like from the game's vehicle list and add it to your inventory.

You need to think carefully, as it can only be used once.

Raku Raku

This is a very fun food delivery game mode that will be added to the game later. In this mode, players need to complete food delivery missions and unlock a Honda Acty truck at the end.

It's speculated that Honda Acty truck will likely serve as our work vehicle for completing missions, and there might be an upgraded Honda Acty truck as a reward at the end, with some very interesting customization options. Players can freely decorate and modify their delivery vehicles according to their preferences, which will definitely be very fun and exciting.

Latest Official Gameplay Video

The latest official gameplay demo video has also been released on some social media platforms. These videos are closer to the upcoming official version of the game, rather than the previously released preview version. You can watch them on the officially authorized channels.

This is the latest news about Forza Horizon 6 before the game's official release on May 19th. Let's look forward to what other surprises await us in a few days.

ARC Raiders Riven Tides has been out for a while now. How have you been enjoying your adventures on the new maps? Are you feeling a bit tired or bored? Whatever you're feeling, you're probably very interested in what's coming next.

ARC Raiders has undergone numerous updates to date, and many of these updates were already being discussed among players before the official announcements.

While some very attractive rumors were ultimately proven false, or confirmed in subsequent updates to be different from what was initially rumored, it's undeniable that some of the mentioned content did indeed become reality in later game updates.

And this time, some seemingly credible information is circulating in the player community. Everyone hopes these things will come true, as they do look very interesting and are highly likely to be realized.

Official Announcements

But first, let's look at some information that the developers have actually released. This might resonate with the leaked information below.

According to the development team, they hope to add several new maps to ARC Raiders in 2026, and their ambitions extend beyond simply increasing the number of maps. They aim to release new maps that surpass the scale of existing maps, offering diverse environments, mechanics, and challenges.

They hope these maps will provide players with different gameplay experiences, even altering their usual playstyles based on the map's characteristics, changing the combat and exploration experience. This will bring greater diversity and complexity to the game.

They have previously stated that Stella Montis enriched the game's content in many ways, from new ARC enemies and ARC Raiders items and acquisition methods to new tech and materials. We can see this trend being maintained in the recently updated Riven Tides map.

Potential Coming Content

Next, we come to the most exciting part: the content that has been leaked or unearthed by the player community!

Frozen Trail

Based on some players' digging into game files after Riven Tides update, it seems there is a map called Frozen Trail, which will be added to ARC Raiders in a future update.

As the name suggests, this will be a snow map, just as the player community strongly hopes. It will include locations such as a radio tower, village, supermarket, and observatory.

And it's easy to imagine what new enemies and ARC Raiders items might appear on such a cold, snow-covered map. And what special mechanics players might need to deal with given the map's cold nature?

Acid Rain Map

This map, also a clue found by players in the game files, doesn't have a definite name, and information about it is scarce. The only known fact is that this map will feature acid rain that corrodes everything on the surface, potentially causing significant problems for Raiders who spend long periods outdoors, depleting their health or inflicting debuffs.

These gameplay changes brought about by different maps have been very popular with players. They enjoy the environmental challenges, which make the game environment feel more realistic and greatly enhances player immersion. They always enjoy interacting with the game environment. Therefore, the development team's decision to include this content in future games aligns perfectly with player demand.

It's worth noting that, if the official statements are true, these maps could be quite large. Furthermore, some vehicles existed in very early versions of ARC Raiders, and adding them to the larger maps in future updates, either as part of the environment or as blueprints for players to collect, seems perfectly logical.

Frigate

According to leaked game files, this is a large ARC enemy that players have been eagerly anticipating, with a very interesting design. It will fly in the sky and move constantly, and when it occasionally lands, players can board it and damage it from the inside.

This sounds incredibly crazy, and if such an enemy were added to the game, it would definitely make the experience much more exciting.

Trading System

The developers have mentioned more than once that they want to add a Shady Speranza trading center to the game. And this trading system won't just exist in your UI, but will be a location you can reach in the game. This could bring great convenience to players, making ARC Raiders items more tradable.

Discussions within Player Community

These messages have circulated widely within the player community. Some players are very interested in the content that might be added to future updates of ARC Raiders, seeing it as enrichment of the game. However, many concerns remain.

For example, if a trading system is added, will it have any unknown or uncontrollable impact on the in-game economy? Could it disrupt the game's balance and worsen the game environment? A widespread concern among players is whether this will change the core gameplay focus of ARC Raiders.

Some players also object to an excessively large game map, arguing that instead of making the map bigger and cramming in repetitive content, it would be better to consider adding more diverse weapons and equipment. At least the latter would make the game more interesting, rather than boring and tedious.

Some believe that a vehicle system might disrupt the core gameplay experience, making the game too fast-paced. However, others argue that a large portion of the game time is wasted on meaningless travel. Therefore, the developers will likely need to fully consider player feedback when deciding on the best course of action.

In short, this is a topic that is currently being widely discussed in the player community. Some of this content may indeed be added in future updates to ARC Raiders. As for what kind of impact it will have, we can wait and see.

Penetrating Shot Rogue build has emerged as the undisputed top choice among the various Rogue builds in Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred, boasting overwhelming dominance. It not only possesses the ability to break through Tier 120 but also offers incredibly fast map clearing efficiency, easily completing Tier 100 dungeons in under 1 minute and 15 seconds.

While Penetrating Shot Rogue and Death Trap Rogue offer very similar performance, Death Trap Rogue has extremely high gear requirements, whereas Penetrating Shot Rogue build has no gear bottlenecks and a very smooth progression path.

It's no exaggeration to say that this build is unstoppable in Diablo 4 in terms of mob clearing speed, mobility, and survivability. Next, I will provide a detailed introduction, delving into the core mechanics of this build.

Endgame Gear

• Mythic Unique Helm: Heir of Perdition
• Legendary Chest Armor: Heavenly Strength
• Legendary Gloves: High Velocity
• Unique Pants: Shrouded Gift
• Legendary Boots: Undying
• Legendary Amulet: Ferocious
• Mythic Unique Ring: Ring of Starless Skies
• Legendary Ring: Nightstalker's
• Unique Bow: Eaglehorn
• Mythic Unique Sword: El'Druin, Sword of Justice
• Legendary Dagg: Imitated Imbuement

Nightstalker's is the core of Penetrating Shot Rogue gear, allowing Shade Skills to deal up to 60% extra damage and having a 50% chance to summon an additional Shade. Prioritize Critical Strike Damage Multiplier affix.

Heir of Perdition, as a defensive item, significantly boosts your damage; prioritize Critical Strike Chance affix. El'Druin, Sword of Justice offers amazing mobility and speed-farming capabilities; prioritize Ranks to All Skills affix.

Ring of Starless Skie helps maintain your energy; prioritize Critical Strike Chance affix. Scoundrel's Kiss greatly increases damage and can be used as a ring or amulet; prioritize All Stats affix.

Sightless Set and Shrouded Gift are a perfect match, not only granting stealth from dashes and smoke grenades but also greatly improving survivability in Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred. Signet of Pelghain is also a good choice, replacing High Velocity Aspect.

Rune

• Neo: Immune to health damage for 2 seconds in combat.
• Jah: Replaces your next Evade with Sorcerer's Teleport, teleporting to a greater distance, dealing damage, and gaining Unstoppable.
• Cir: Enters a state of exhaustion for 3 seconds after casting 5 abilities.
• Mot: Gains 1 Shade from Rogue's Dark Shroud Skill, each Shade reducing damage taken.

Charms

• Seal: Swiftness
• Linta of the Sightless
• Phoba of the Sightless
• Fer of the Sightless
• Berú of the Sightless
• Mlor of the Sightless
• Scoundrel's Kiss

This set of charms grants Penetrating Shot Rogue a Stealth state that reduces cooldown of all ultimate abilities by 6 seconds. Breaking Stealth increases damage by up to 60% for 6 seconds.

Furthermore, using an ultimate ability resets the cooldown of Stealth. Stealth gains all lateral upgrades and provides 60% damage reduction while active, followed by 30% damage reduction for 6 seconds.

You also gain a permanent Shadow Clone, which can now cast Death Trap and Rain of Arrows. Breaking Stealth now grants up to an additional 320% damage bonus.

Scoundrel's Kiss grants you 1 stack of Berserk every 2 seconds, increasing the damage of your Rogue abilities and the amount of Berserk damage per stack by up to 15.0%.

Skills

• 15/15 Penetrating Shot
• 1/15 Shadow Step
• 1/15 Dash
• 15/15 Cold Imbuement
• 15/15 Shadow Clone
• 1/15 Smoke Grenade
• 1/15 Concealment
• 13/15 Dark Shroud

Dash, Shadow Step, and Evade with Jah help you move quickly through hordes of monsters in Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred. Use Smoke Grenade to continuously gain Stealth, and Sightless Set bonus reduces the cooldown of your ultimate abilities.

To deal damage, you need to use Penetrating Shot extensively, and you should use Shadow Clone and Cold Imbuement immediately when they are off cooldown.

100% Crit Chance is achieved through skills. Of this, 5% comes from Dark Shrouds spawned via Mots, approximately 10% from Concealment cast while Stealth, and approximately 5% from Smoke Grenade.

Paragon

• Start/Assassin
• Cheap Shot/Control
• Leyrana's Instinct/Fluidity
• Exploit Weakness/Eclipse
• Eldritch Bounty/Devious

Mercenary

Mercenaries unlock in Vessel of Hatred and assist you in combat. Once unlocked, you can hire a permanent mercenary in Diablo 4 single-player mode and gain reinforcements under certain circumstances. Raheir is the best Mercenary for Penetrating Shot Rogues, and you can use Varyana for enhanced support.

Raheir's Valiant ability allows her to come to your aid when you take 15% of your health, absorbing the damage, knocking down nearby enemies for 2 seconds, and granting you 0.5 seconds of unblock ability. Bastion transfers 90% of damage taken by nearby allies to Raheir, and its initial cast grants nearby allies 1.0 second of invulnerability. Both abilities provide protection.

Raheir can also use Ground Slam to damage and slow enemies. Additionally, Varyana's Bloodthirst provides a 10% attack speed bonus.

Testing has shown that Penetrating Shot Rogue in Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred can easily defeat Tier 12 Mephisto boss, Belial, in 20-30 seconds. Tier 12 Lair bosses can also be easily defeated, yielding rich loot and Diablo 4 Gold.

Extensive endgame testing has proven Penetrating Shot Rogue build's performance in Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred to be nothing short of overwhelming. It easily defeats Mephisto on difficulty 12 with its dense barrage of piercing arrows, allowing for a sustained victory. You can defeat Belial in 20-30 seconds, dealing massive damage overkill. Other level 12 Lair bosses are a breeze.

If you're looking for a Rogue Endgame build that allows for rapid leveling, consistent high-level progression, and effortless handling of any boss, then Penetrating Shot Rogue is a must-have for this season. Experience the thrill of one-shotting the enemy and becoming unstoppable!

If you're a new player, you might be confused by the new content in ARC Raiders Riven Tides Update.

Don't worry, I'll explain everything you need to know about Riven Tides in detail: including how to easily defeat Turbine, how to obtain new Blueprints, and the location of Key Room, etc.

If you're interested, keep reading!

Defeat Turbine

Turbine is a new ARC enemy added in ARC Raiders Riven Tides Update. It's a large, cone-shaped machine floating in the sky that will rise into the air during combat and unleash lightning strikes on the player.

To defeat Turbine, you need to understand it well - especially its movement patterns. In fact, you can identify its movement patterns by the lights it emits:

First, you need to learn to identify Turbine's movement patterns based on its lights:

When its light is red, it's about to enter the air phase, making it difficult to attack, so don't waste bullets. When the light turns yellow, it enters search mode, and Turbine will land on the ground; you need to prepare to approach it.

When Turbine's light turns blue and it spreads its three legs, revealing a rotating yellow tube inside - that's its weak point; concentrate your fire on it!

Once you have a good understanding of Turbine, you can confidently launch an attack. Here are three recommended methods:

One method is to use ARC Raiders Deadline, a high-explosive mine. After a 6-second countdown, it detonates everything within a 10-meter radius, friend or foe, dealing a total of 1000 damage. Throw the mine the moment Turbine lands and exposes its weak point. Approximately four Deadline mines will take it down.

The second method is to use Osprey. Osprey is the first sniper rifle in ARC Raiders to come with a built-in long-range scope, dealing massive damage. You need to maintain a distance of about 200 meters from Turbine, preferably with a suppressor. Find a safe hiding spot and then focus fire on Turbine when it exposes its weak points.

The third method, and the most recommended, is to cooperate with other players. You can find 2-3 teammates to rush in and throw Deadlines simultaneously, while one player uses a grappling hook to throw themselves onto the top of Turbine and attack from above. This method is the most efficient.

Collecting Blueprints

ARC Raiders Riven Tides Update added several items with ARC Raiders Blueprints: Crash Mat, Powered Descender, and others. Below, we mainly introduce Blueprints for these two items.

Crash Mat

Its purpose is to provide cushioning when you jump from a height, preventing you from falling to your death. This is a very useful item.

Where can you find it? According to players, it may appear in blue plastic containers and shipping containers. Pay special attention to the container piles on the southwest dock of Stacking Yard; Crash Mat Blueprint is very likely inside.

Powered Descender

This is a small glider that allows you to glide a certain distance in the air. However, be aware that it has a height limit; if you jump from too high, you will die even with Powered Descender.

The method for obtaining its Blueprint is similar to Crash Mat, but it has a higher probability of appearing in locked locker areas, such as the small blue metal room in the northwest corner of Riven Tides.

By the way, Powered Descender is not easy to craft; it requires a Turbine Compressor. Defeating a Turbine may drop this item, but if you don't want to challenge a Turbine, you can also find it in ARC Courier and husks, although the probability is low.

Key Room

ARC Raiders Riven Tides Update added some Key Rooms to the new map, and the most complex one is the one in Stacking Yard. Therefore, I will focus on introducing how to enter this Key Room. Key Room on Stacking Yard is located inside a tower. You can find it directly, but you can't open the room directly with a Keycard. Instead, you need to find and press four buttons hidden around it.

The locations of these buttons aren't fixed; there are approximately 20 possibilities. However, you can try the following routes:

First, near the first tower from the left in Stacking Yard area - a button might be hidden in the bushes to the right of tower. Next, go around to the yellow box at the back of tower. The button is in crevice of the box. Then, there might also be a button above the hole in the corner wall of the adjacent tower.

Additionally, you can climb the yellow ladder to the second floor, where some buttons might be hidden. If you climb directly to the top of the tower or stairwell, buttons might also be hidden there.

In short, after pressing any four buttons, the room will be permanently opened, and a weapon crate might appear inside. Top-tier weapons might also appear on the walls and tables in the room.

Actually, ARC Raiders Riven Tides Update adds much more than this. I've only highlighted the most important parts that you might need to know for detailed explanation. I hope this is helpful.

Now, log into the game and try using the methods I shared to defeat Turbine, collect Blueprints, and open Key Room!

Following the release of Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred, the game's class system underwent a radical transformation: the skill trees for each class were extensively reworked.

This meant that almost every familiar build had been drastically altered - some powerful builds may no longer exist, while entirely new ones emerged.

Below, I will outline the most recommended builds for each class during the leveling phase in Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred to help you level up smoothly and reach Endgame:

• 1. Warlock
• 2. Paladin
• 3. Sorcerer
• 4. Rogue
• 5. Barbarian
• 6. Spiritborn
• 7. Druid
• 8. Necromancer

Warlock

Warlock is the most anticipated new class in Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred. During the leveling phase, its core skill is Dread Claws, and currently, almost all Warlock builds revolve around it.

My recommendation is to first use Nether Step to dash at the enemy - this will stack Shadowform layers for you. Then use summons to put the enemy into Vulnerable state, further gaining more Shadowform layers.

Once you have enough Shadowform layers, you can use Dread Claws, which can destroy almost any enemy within your line of sight in actual combat.

Therefore, prioritize using your Diablo 4 gold to add skill points to Dread Claws in Skill Tree.

Paladin

Paladin is also a new class in Diablo IV Lord of Hatred, jokingly referred to by many players as Blizzard's "favorite child" because this class has many highlights and offers a wide variety of build options.

However, during the leveling phase, the most important focus is on builds centered around Wing Strikes skill.

Specifically, you need to maintain Arbiter Form as much as possible, using Wing Strikes to destroy all surrounding enemies. To maintain this form, you need to frequently use the skills Falling Star, Condemn, and Flash of Blade Advance. This allows you to reliably stay in Arbiter Form and easily eliminate all enemies you encounter.

Many players have reported that this build offers near-seamless transitions between leveling and other endgame builds. Therefore, I highly recommend Paladin players use this build.

Sorcerer

In Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred, Sorcerer introduced a leveling build called Static Field Blizzard. This build offers incredibly fast leveling and seamlessly integrates with one of the strongest known endgame builds of the season.

However, this build only becomes truly effective after level 30. Therefore, to conserve Diablo 4 Gold before then, you can use any other temporary build as a transition, switching to this build immediately upon reaching level 30.

In terms of gameplay, your primary damage output comes from Static Field Blizzard. When facing high-threat targets like bosses, you can supplement with Unstable Currents to further boost damage.

You don't need any buffs; Static Field Blizzard can deal over 10,000 times the weapon's damage in 1.5 seconds - an absurd number that makes this build the strongest among Sorcerer class in Diablo IV Lord of Hatred.

It's important to note that Static Field Blizzard is a DoT (Damage over Time) skill, so don't prioritize critical strike chance or critical strike damage when choosing equipment, as these attributes are meaningless for DoT builds.

Rogue

Among all classes in Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred, Rogue's Dance of Knives build is arguably one of the fastest and strongest playstyles during leveling. Its exceptional flexibility and incredible single-target DPS make it an absolute must-have.

In this build, Dance of Knives is not only the primary source of damage, but its movement speed also stacks with Dark Shroud, even exceeding 200% movement speed cap. Meanwhile, Dark Shroud provides considerable damage reduction, improving your survivability.

The core logic of this build is to continuously unleash skills to accumulate combo points and energy until you unlock Dance of Knives and Dark Shroud.

Note that before using Dance of Knives, attack enemies with Blade Shift to gain the buff, and then try to move between the enemy's bodies during the spin to allow for infinite spinning.

Once you reach the level cap, this build can smoothly transition to the endgame Dance of Knives build.

Barbarian

In Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred, the core of Barbarian build is Whirlwind.

This build is incredibly simple to play: first, use Lunging Strike to close the distance with enemies and build up Fury, then unleash War Cry to boost damage and movement speed, and finally use Whirlwind, an AOE skill that will wipe out all enemies.

Spiritborn

For Spiritborn, the recommended build is Rock Splitter Gorilla build from Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred.

You need to maximize Thorns Damage to Rock Splitter skill first, then frequently use skills like Rushing Claw and Ravager. Most importantly, incorporate Rock Splitter as your primary source of damage between these skills.

Druid

Regarding Druid, I recommend Storm Pack build shared. This is a very exciting new build with fantastic feel and attack power.

This build undergoes significant changes in gameplay and style between levels 1-30 and 30-70:

Levels 1-30: Use Wind Shear to apply vulnerability to enemies, Lightning Storm to annihilate them, and Blood Howl for sustain.

Levels 30-70: Claw replaces Wind Shear as the core skill to maintain Hero of the Storm passive effect. Simultaneously, you need to use DashClaw to shock all surrounding monsters.

Necromancer

Speaking of Necromancer builds in Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred, the most famous is undoubtedly Minions build.

Specifically, you need to upgrade Service and Sacrifice first. Then, your Minions will deal massive explosion damage upon death; simultaneously, their respawn time will be reduced to 0.5 seconds.

This allows you to have an army that can constantly explode and respawn, tearing any enemy to shreds.

That's all I wanted to share. I hope it helps!

Final Fantasy XIV Patch 7.5 has just released its full content description. While much of the content was already known, the description also includes changes to class skills that weren't revealed in previous days.

This update aims to balance combat classes, primarily modifying two Healer classes, comprehensively buffing DPS classes, and strengthening the role of Tank classes.

Was your favorite class buffed or nerfed? If you're curious about the specific skill changes, read on.

Modifying Healer Classes

Specifically, FFXIV Patch 7.5 mainly modifies Sage and Scholar classes. Regarding the purpose of these changes, producer Naoki Yoshida stated that it's creating a more harmonious relationship between the two.

For a long time, the balance between these two classes has been very delicate. Because their abilities and roles are very similar, most players will choose one to invest their time and effort in, while the other will be abandoned by most players, resulting in a sharp drop in usage.

However, in FFXIV Patch 7.5, an official statement from the development team CS3 explicitly disrupted this balance.

They pointed out that Scholar's long-standing popularity wasn't due to outstanding healing abilities, but rather because, in addition to healing, Scholar provided the team with an extremely powerful team support skill - Expedient, which grants the entire team an AoE movement speed boost.

In high-difficulty dungeons requiring frequent repositioning, this skill is almost irreplaceable as a strategic resource. And as the mechanics of high-difficulty dungeons become increasingly complex, it has practically become an essential skill for any player team.

Therefore, all players who enjoy playing Healer Classes dedicate their Final Fantasy XIV Gil to developing a Scholar.

In response to this advantage of Scholar, CS3 opted for an unusual compensation solution: increasing Sage's damage output. They explicitly stated, "To compensate for Sage's shortcomings in team support, we've increased the damage of some of its abilities."

Therefore, they directly increased the power of Sage's Phlegma ability by 90 points, and the power of Off-Global Cooldown, usable once every 60 seconds, was also increased by 90 points. Such a buff is considerable and rare, and based on their past practices, I suspect they might make some further modifications in the next patch.

Strengthening DPS classes

In FF14 Patch 7.5, almost all DPS classes received varying degrees of power increases.

First is Samurai, a class with high operational complexity but low damage; its abilities Midare Setsugekka and Ogi Namikiri both received power increases of 680 points. Samurai fans will certainly be happy.

Next is Reaper. CS3 increased the damage of most of its abilities. Specifically, Gluttony's power was increased to 560 points, and Void Reaping and Cross Reaping were increased to 580 and 640 points respectively.

Next is Viper. Viper's situation is more peculiar. In patch 7.3, CS3 significantly reduced the class's AoE power, arguing that they might be "too powerful." However, they seem to have realized the irrationality of this change, so they increased the reduced power back.

Summoner was also buffed. CS3 admitted, "We made adjustments to Summoner in Patch 7.41, but its damage output was still insufficient in high-end dungeons." Therefore, in Patch 7.5, they increased the power of skills like Pain Flare and Crimson Cyclone.

In reality, this class was used very frequently in normal dungeons in FF14, but was often excluded from high-difficulty dungeons due to insufficient damage output. Many Summoner players spent a lot of Final Fantasy XIV Gil to develop their builds, only to find themselves unable to participate in high-end dungeons. Fortunately, CS3 discovered and fixed this problem.

Besides the aforementioned classes, Bard, Dancer, Lancer, and other classes also received varying degrees of buffs.

Clarifying Tank Roles

The changes to Tank Class focused more on emphasizing the role of each class. We know that in FF14, Tank Classes are divided into Main Tanks and Secondary Tanks (MT and ST) in dungeons, each playing a different role.

However, CS3 never explicitly stated which class was MT and which was ST. Therefore, most of the time, a player's role as a tank in a dungeon was determined through player negotiation. Generally, classes with higher defense would act as MT, while classes with higher damage would act as ST.

In FFXIV patch 7.5, CS3 buffed Warrior's power. Specifically, the power of Inner Chaos was increased to 700, Primal Rend to 720, and Primal Ruination to 800.

I suspect that CS3 is working on a clearer classification of tank classes. This could be the basis for how players assign main tanks (MT) and off-tanks (ST). The pure damage buff to Warrior in this update suggests that the development team wants players to play Warrior as the main tank in the game.

While this is just speculation, the changes in Patch 7.5 are undoubtedly good news for Warrior players who enjoy pursuing high damage output.

Overall, I believe these changes are to coincide with the release of Kefka Ultimate. As the third Ultimate raid in Final Fantasy XIV, it places extremely high demands on player gear, skill, and team coordination. Therefore, CS3 must ensure that every class, especially those that have been marginalized for a long time, has sufficient competitive damage output.

The above is a detailed summary of the skill modifications for various classes in FFXIV Patch 7.5. We hope you enjoyed the content.

ARC Raiders Riven Tides update will officially launch on April 28th, and is expected to be the largest update to the extraction shooter since its release last October. The official website released more information about this update today. This update includes a new map, some new gameplay content, a new enemy type, and a rewarding short-term event.

In short, Riven Tides update is expected to bring a huge content update, and both the map design and combat look very well done so far. Next, let’s take a look at the specific content of this ARC Raiders update released by the official website.

New Map: Riven Tides

The new map shares the same name as this update and is set in Rust Belt. The official website emphasizes that each location has its own unique story, but after the update goes live, players will directly enter Riven Tides map.

This coastal map has been abandoned by settlers multiple times, meaning players will explore abandoned areas such as Exodus Port or Panorama Azzurro resort, offering a completely different atmosphere from other Arc Raiders maps. The specific details have already been covered, so we won’t go into too much detail here.

New Enemy: ARC Turbine

This update introduces a powerful flying ARC. These robots appear harmless while floating above Rust Belt, but once attacked, they will engage your team in fierce combat.

Due to their defensive attributes, they are arguably one of the most difficult enemies introduced so far. A completely new challenge for Raiders, requiring players to possess superior skills, patience, and a calm, collected mind.

New Minor Map Condition: Beachcombing

ARC Raiders also introduces Beachcombing map condition. Players can use Dockmaster’s Detector to scan the beaches of the coastline, but must pry the loot out of the sand themselves. Depending on their skill and luck, ARC Raiders Items they may find will vary. A word of caution: the richest treasures are often found in the most open areas.

New Event: Last Resort

Last Resort event will run from launch until May 25th. Players will earn Merit points by playing on any map. Earn Merit points to unlock rewards. In addition, to obtain even more rewards, search for miniature Ship Models scattered throughout the world. Different Ship Models offer different amounts of Merit depending on their rarity.

Once you accumulate enough Merit points, you can unlock rewards including a Junior Outfit, a Hydrographer backpack, a Hose attachment, a Brass Faucet charm, new emotes, and 250 Raider Tokens.

New Project: Avian Alarm

This is a five-stage ARC Raiders project. Players will build a simple birdcage as a safety system to detect vibrations and atmospheric changes. Then, they will need to deploy the cage at buoys along Riven Tides coastline to capture birds.

After completing all the instructions, you will receive rewards, including Dockmaster’s Detector (the key to unlocking Beachcombing), Gel Patches, Bird House backpack attachment, Fist In Air emote, and 250 Raider Tokens.

New Items: Crash Mat and Powersd Descender

Rust Belt region has never been an easy place to survive. Resources are limited, conflicts are constant, and the competition for survival is extremely fierce. Gathering supplies here is very dangerous, and getting from one location to another is never easy.

Especially when the first location is hundreds of feet in the air and the second location is on hard, slippery ground, it becomes even more difficult. Crash Mat and Powersd Descender are two pieces of fall protection gear that can greatly protect you. With them, as long as you stay focused and agile during the game, your chances of survival will increase significantly.

New Cosmetics

ARC Raiders Riven Tides update will bring us a series of brand new Cosmetics, with two sets available on launch day, the 28th. The first set is Solare Set, a woven fabric base with layered, ceremonial garments, perfectly suited for those who see sunrises as a ritual.

The second set is Rachetta Set, a departure from the previous understated style, opting for bold colors and dynamic cuts, better suited for riders who rely on speed rather than stealth.

In addition, three more sets will be released in May: Corsaro Set, Castaway Set, and Sandveil Set. Corsaro Set is suitable for riders who frequently venture into the deep sea, equipped with a robotic arm and spring-loaded legs. Castaway Set is designed for lone wolves who prefer self-reliance, making it elusive and unpredictable.

Finally, Corsaro Set is designed for long treks through dust and heat, possessing a calm and collected demeanor. This update currently includes five new Outfits, each with a distinct style; there’s sure to be one that suits you.

That concludes this article about ARC Raiders Riven Tides update. These substantial updates are more likely to draw players back than any other update so far this year. Let’s look forward to April 28th and hope Blizzard lives up to the players’ long-awaited expectations.
