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.

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.

Arc Raiders has recently seen a series of dynamic updates and community interactions. From cross-industry collaborations with wildlife sanctuaries to patch adjustments, these moves indicate that Arc Raiders is trying to expand its influence through unconventional methods while maintaining its existing player base.

In future Arc Raiders updates, cosmetic and functional items will always be a focus for players. The addition of items that utilize rope physics or counter new enemy types is particularly anticipated.

Because the types and acquisition methods of Arc Raiders items profoundly influence players' personalization and tactical combinations, every adjustment the development team makes to the shop and item design sparks community discussion.

Cross-Industry Collaboration and 24-Hour Livestream Event

A cross-industry collaboration event with a real-world wildlife sanctuary is scheduled to launch on April 8, 2026. The game development team has partnered with Alva's, a non-profit animal sanctuary.

Starting April 8th, a 24-hour livestream will be streamed on Twitch, featuring footage styled like a live animal camera, with a special segment focusing on a rooster named Oliver.

The livestream may include interactive segments, where viewers might see the in-game character Scrappy running and Oliver being fed in real life, synchronized. The aim of this collaboration is to combine the virtual rooster companion from the game with real animal conservation efforts, raising public awareness of wildlife sanctuaries entertainingly.

The livestream start time varies by time zone, the correct times have been posted on Discord announcement page: 12:00 PM Central Time, 1:00 PM Eastern Time, and 10:00 AM Pacific Time. This event is not only a promotion of the game content but also has a charitable aspect, raising awareness and potential donations for the sanctuary through interaction and promotion during the livestream.

Patch 1.23.0 Update

The 1.23.0 patch, originally scheduled for release one morning, has been delayed. Community Manager Embark Osen announced that the patch will be released at 4:00 AM Central Time the following day.

The specific release times are: 9:00 AM UTC, 5:00 AM EST, 4:00 AM Central Time, and 2:00 AM PST. This update includes a highly anticipated Vanguard skin set, as well as several bug fixes.

Images of this skin set have already leaked, showing a military-style aesthetic. It will be available in the in-game store simultaneously with the patch release. For players who enjoy collecting cosmetic Arc Raiders Items, Vanguard skin set is a timely response to expanding their arsenal's style options.

In addition to the skin set, the patch also includes a series of technical fixes, specifically addressing game stability, UI display errors, and balance adjustments for some character abilities. The reason for the patch delay was not specified in the announcement, but the development team provided advance notice of the new release date so players could make necessary arrangements.

GDC Developer New Feature Concept

At the recently concluded Game Developers Conference, a team member revealed a new feature concept they hope to add to the game. The concept is inspired by a classic scene from Battle of Hoth in Star Wars films - flying motorcycles using ropes to entangle and trip enemies.

The developers hope to introduce similar physical interactions into the game, such as using ropes to pull the legs of large enemies or tripping them with wires. This mechanism could potentially be applied to Queen, Matriarch, and other large Arcs in the game.

The developers stated that implementing this feature requires better rope physics. While the game already boasts a fairly excellent physics engine - for example, realistic collisions between characters and environmental objects, and projectile trajectory calculations - the design team believes that this mechanism does not currently align with the game's overall vision.

The current combat design focuses more on shooting and teamwork; introducing a tripping mechanic could alter the combat pace and difficulty curve. Therefore, this feature is not yet confirmed for inclusion, but it may still be considered in the future.

Riven Tides Major Update Confirmed

The community manager has confirmed the upcoming major update, Riven Tides. When players inquired on Discord in April update's release date, Embark Osen replied that it's scheduled for the end of the month. This aligns with the release schedule of previous roadmap updates, as major updates have typically been pushed out at the end of the month.

This update will bring a brand new map called Ribbon Science, the first new map in approximately five months since the release of Stella Montis last November. The map features a coastal terrain theme and includes a new type of large Arc enemy. This enemy has briefly appeared in trailers and some art book materials, but its specific type is still unclear.

Based on existing materials, the new enemy's size and attack patterns may differ from the existing Queen or Matriarch, promising new combat challenges. This update will also unlock the Third Expedition Windows, providing a character reset opportunity, allowing high-level players to readjust their strategies.

Community Feedback and Anomalies

First, regarding the changes to Rocketeer, many players expressed that this change was not what they expected, and the development team did not provide any prior announcement. Some believe this may be a programming bug rather than an intentional adjustment. Players hope this issue will be fixed in patch 1.23.

Second, regarding the visual error in weapon level display, multiple players reported seeing level 5 weapons in the game and successfully reproduced the phenomenon. Some players even shared methods in the comments for accidentally triggering the level 5 weapon display. In reality, this display does not correspond to any actual weapon upgrade effect; it is purely a display error. The highest weapon level in the game is usually level 4, and the appearance of level 5 is likely because of an anomaly in the interface rendering or data loading process.

Despite this, players are still compiling a list of weapons that might exhibit this visual issue so that the development team can pinpoint the specific cause. Another community discovery involves a specific location on the game map. One player noticed a location labeled Arnold's Vault at the end of a windy area on the map. As of now, this location has not been officially documented or thoroughly investigated by anyone. Other players have also pointed out some previously unnoticed map details, which require further investigation.

These details may hint at future hidden content or Easter eggs, or they may represent areas in the map design that have not yet been widely explored by players. Community members are gathering relevant information, hoping to receive official clarification in future updates.

Arc Raiders will be receiving a flurry of content updates and community events in mid-to-late April. From cross-platform livestreams, new Arc Raiders Items, version patches, to the implementation of new maps and new Arcs, the development team is working on multiple fronts. Meanwhile, the physics interaction concepts revealed at GDC and the unusual issues reported by the community have left some questions unanswered regarding future updates. Whether Arc Raiders can continue to optimize the player experience through these adjustments will be further verified after Riven Tides update at the end of the month.

A few days ago, IGN released the latest information and CG animation about Blizzard's upcoming Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred. Lord of Hatred has been highly anticipated since Season 12, with many players even stating that Season 12 was simply a prelude to its release.

Some upcoming update content can be glimpsed from Season 12 and some currently circulating clues.

This CG animation is not just a preview, but also an actual animated clip from the in-game story of Lord of Hatred. I will now begin by introducing this new expansion pack-Lord of Hatred in detail.

Trailer

The story begins with Queen Adrianna introducing a saint, Akarat, to the public. At this moment, a Horadrim, Lorath, whom Queen Adrianna once called a friend, enters the stage and tells Queen that Akarat is not a saint, but a demon who will bring disaster.

As Queen wavers, Akarat traps Lorath in an illusion, causing him to accidentally kill Queen Adrianna. Afterwards, Akarat used magic to resurrect Queen Adrianna, further solidifying her and the people's faith in him. Lorath was banished, and the paladin standing on the high platform witnessed everything.

Akarat is indeed a demon. His real name is Mephisto, Lord of Hatred, the eldest and most cunning and scheming of the three great demons. This time, he has come to this continent, intending to taint the world with hatred using Pool of Creation.

A New Journey

Lord of Hatred is currently scheduled for release on April 28th. What will players need to do in this upcoming new journey?

To confront this powerful enemy, players will need to travel to the new region, Skovos Isles, a brand-new map inspired by the ancient Mediterranean. It is not only the birthplace of humanity but also the homeland of Lilith and Inarius, filled with mystery. When necessary, players will also need to fight alongside Lilith against Mephisto.

This new map features seven distinct sub-regions:

• Phelios
• Temis
• Lykandos
• Asura
• Athanor
• Celestia
• Skartara

Temis is the main town and will become players final destination after completing the game. Players can adventure in various environments, including volcanoes, forests, and temples.

New Characters

Lord of Hatred has primarily updated two classes: Paladin and Warlock.

Paladin embodies sword and shield, primarily using holy magic. As a long-awaited returning class, Paladin brings back many classic skills in this expansion, such as Blessed Hammer, Aura, and Heaven's Wrath.

Its core gameplay revolves around a covenant system that determines players build and grants players a powerful Arbiter form. Players can choose to become a heavily armored Iron Defender, attacking as a fanatical swordsman, or a Judge or Arbiter who brings divine punishment.

Warlock, a character opposed to Paladin who wields forbidden magic, is primarily played as a master of fire and shadow, wielding various demonic powers. Currently, there are four specializations to choose from:

• Legion (summons a legion of hell to fight for players)
• Ritualist (masters fire magic to burn enemies)
• Vanguard (transforms into a demon, crushing enemies with a body of flame)
• Mastermind (manipulates shadow and mind, bewitching or controlling enemies)

Lord of Hatred not only updates the characters, but also changes in-game equipment and levels. An official chart was released for reference; in the new expansion, the level cap will increase from 60 to 70, and equipment strength will increase from 800 to 900, meaning greater room for maneuver in the game.

Skill Tree and Equipment

Regardless of the chosen class, players will gain additional skill tree bonuses, new affixes, and branches. This expansion adds skill variants to all eight classes, with over 40 new options for each class. Lord of Hatred brings back Horadrim blocks from Diablo 4, primarily for crafting and reforging equipment, such as rolling three identical Dark Metal items. This adds another way for players to obtain Diablo 4 Items.

Furthermore, a new Talisman System has been added, allowing players to place runes of different rarities to create powerful set bonuses. This essentially gives players an additional piece of equipment that increases overall effectiveness.

In addition, Blizzard has added a Loot Filter, which was initially not planned for Lord of Hatred. Loot Filter allows players to remove low-level or useless items, making it easier to find higher-level items.

Endgame Gameplay

Many players complained in Season 12 and earlier that the game became boring after reaching the level cap, lacking new gameplay and story. Lord of Hatred addresses this by introducing a new endgame gameplay mode, consisting of two modes: War Plans and Echoing Hatred, which players can choose.

War Plans allows players to customize their challenge routes across multiple endgame events, such as Abyss, Hellwaves, and Nightmare Dungeons, and can add specific affixes to increase difficulty and rewards.

Echoing Hatred, an extremely rare and highly challenging endless wave trial, sees enemies of increasing difficulty, testing the limits of player builds and requiring players to constantly adjust their character builds according to the trial's difficulty.

These two modes lay the groundwork for mid-to-late game gameplay, ensuring the game doesn't become boring even at max level.

Overall, this Lord of Hatred expansion covers everything from new classes to endgame content, and the new storyline is equally dramatic and innovative, garnering significant attention even before its official release. Perhaps even more surprises await! Stay tuned!

Still complaining that Druids in Diablo 4 Season 12 aren’t powerful enough or have too slow movement speed? Still getting left far behind by other classes in groups? This unconventional Build is designed for that.

This article will provide a complete configuration and operation guide, breaking down everything from gear affixes to skill rotations, helping you completely break free from the stereotype of being a burden.

This Build revolves around Tempest Roar and Grizzly Rage, combining high mobility with stable survivability.

Whether speed-running dungeons, pushing higher levels of Pit, or challenging Bloodstained Bosses, this Build delivers reliable performance, allowing you to easily keep up in groups.

Core Mechanics and Damage Conversion Logic

The core operation of this Build is built upon the synergy of several key pieces of gear and aspects. First, Tempest Roar is the cornerstone of Build, adding a Werewolf Skill tag to all Storm Skills (such as Tornado).

This conversion allows skills that previously couldn't benefit from Werewolf passives to now receive bonuses from Lust for Carnage and the crucial passive Lupine Ferocity, thus integrating them into the complete skill set.

Second, Grizzly Rage, as the ultimate skill, is the primary source of damage boosts.

To make it compatible with Werewolf skills, Dire Wolf's Aspect must be equipped. This allows the character to maintain Dire Werewolf form during Grizzly Rage, enabling free use of skills like Tornado and Hurricane, breaking the ultimate skill's limitations on skill usage.

Building upon this, Aspect of Rampaging Werebeast further enhances the value of Grizzly Rage, providing increased damage during its activation and extending its effect for one minute after the ultimate skill ends, significantly increasing the buff's uptime.

Damage type conversion is another crucial element. Aspect of Rabid Beast converts the character's direct damage into Poison Damage, transforming Tornado from physical damage to poison damage, allowing it to benefit from both non-physical damage and poison damage bonuses.

Stormchaser's Aspect adds a crowd control effect to Tornado, increasing damage by 10% for each enemy caught in the crowd, significantly enhancing its ability to clear dense groups of monsters.

Finally, the chest armor chosen is Mad Wolf's Glee, as its overall benefit surpasses Shroud of False Death due to its bonus to the key passive Lupine Ferocity and the increase in core skill levels.

Equipment Affixes and Aspect Requirements

Equipment choices and affix priorities directly determine Build's ceiling. The helmet must be Tempest Roar, with Wild Impulses being the most important affix, increasing core skill damage, followed by Spirit cap.

The chest armor is fixed at Mad Wolf's Glee, focusing on the percentage increase to Lupine Ferocity, followed by Attack Speed.

For gloves, prioritize ensuring they have Tornado skill level bonus, then enhance Attack Speed ​​affix; this will greatly increase the gloves' value.

Pants must have Stormshifter's Aspect, which provides +5 levels to Polymorph skill, directly affecting the damage of Grizzly Rage and Tornado.

Pants affixes should balance defense and offense, including Maximum Life, Armor, Resistance to All Elements, and Willpower for increased damage, while also including Hurricane Duration affix.

Footwear affixes are equally crucial, requiring Attacks Reduce Evade's Cooldown, Willpower, Armor, Movement Speed, Resistance to All Elements, Rampage, and Hurricane Duration to ensure defense, movement speed, and coverage of key skills.

For weapons, Dire Wolf's Aspect is an essential affix.

The weapon affixes must include "Life On Hit" to provide life regeneration and must have "Chance for Tornado Projectiles to Cast Twice" affix. Masterworking with Diablo 4 Gold will significantly increase final DPS.

The amulet should provide as many passive skill bonuses as possible. The highest priority is Envenom, Quickshift, and While Shapeshifted, your direct damage is converted into Poison damage effect. Natural Disaster or Defiance are secondary options.

Ring of Starless Skies is only Ancestral Mythic Unique item, used to reduce resource consumption and increase damage. The other ring should have a counterattack attribute; attack speed is the most important upgrade attribute, and a buff is even better.

Skill Rotation and Operation Logic

The rotation follows a strict sequence to maximize damage stacking.

The operation begins with alternating between Maul and Tornado to stack Quickshift passive skill, which provides increased damage with each shapeshift. Then activate Hurricane, which not only provides damage but, more importantly, triggers the +5 transformation skill level bonus from Stormshifter's Aspect.

After completing the above preparation steps, activate Grizzly Rage to enter burst mode, at which point Tornado can be continuously cast for damage.

While the ultimate skill is not activated, the above cycle must be repeated to maintain the buff. Cyclone Armor's role is to gather enemies, optimizing Stormchaser's Aspect's crowd-gathering damage increase effect of Tornado.

Runes and Assigned Skills

Runes are paired with Xol-Xan combination to increase critical strike damage and compensate for Build's overall low damage output.

Xol is used to activate this combination. Since the other Rune pair is Igni-Wat, and Wat is a Necromancer skill, Xol and Xan have the highest compatibility, achieving high uptime of Xan effects and frequently triggering high critical strike damage.

Gift of Stag serves as the first Boon, providing continuous Spirit support. Scythe Talons increases critical strike chance. Avian Wrath increases our damage by 40%, and Energize is essential for restoring sanity.

Calm Before the Storm is also essential because it resets our ultimate ability, Grizzly Rage, faster.

Skill Tree

Alternating between Maul and Tornado is only for triggering Quickshift and doesn't require much investment. Tornado requires 5 skill points to maximize damage; its enhancement inflicts vulnerability on enemies, increasing damage taken. Cyclone Armor is used for crowd control and damage optimization.

Blood Howl balances damage, healing, and resource recovery.

Hurricane is not only necessary for triggering Stormshifter's Aspect, but its enhancement also provides 20% damage reduction.

Grizzly Rage requires 5 skill points to maximize its benefits. The key passive skill is Lupine Ferocity, as its critical strike damage bonus is superior to Perfect Storm.

Paragon Board and Glyphs

Paragon Board Build requires following a specific path.

First, select Dominate glyph to boost powerful attack damage. Lust for Carnage node has become core because of its buff this season, providing a significant damage bonus and critical hit energy regeneration.

Keeper glyph increases non-physical damage, directly affecting Tornado's output.

Thunderstruck glyph is extremely important, providing a 60% damage bonus and 15% critical hit chance, and also increasing the damage of Nature Magic Skills.

Heightened Malice node increases damage against poisoned enemies.

Spirit glyph is a general choice for Druid Builds, providing critical hit damage and increased damage on critical hits. Sinister Tendrils node is essential, poisoning enemies and increasing damage multipliers, while also providing a 40% damage bonus against poisoned enemies.

Fang and Claw nodes increase damage against nearby enemies.

This Build is positioned as an unconventional but highly reliable approach, boasting excellent mobility and flexibility, making it suitable for grinding, tackling Abyss dungeons, and defeating Bloodstained Bosses.

Its strength lies in its high survivability and sustained damage output achieved through multiple aspect synergies, a clear skill rotation, and a relatively straightforward Diablo 4 item acquisition path.

However, it's important to note that this Build's damage output is slightly lower than mainstream Builds. Therefore, in high-pressure scenarios, it demands a high level of precision in gear affixes and a meticulous skill rotation.

Both new and veteran players have likely heard of Diablo 4's Butcher, but their understanding of him varies significantly, leading to vastly different attitudes towards him and adding a unique element of fun to the game.

This article will continue to provide a detailed introduction for players in the following sections.

Butcher Introduction

As a boss, Butcher isn't confined to specific quests; players can encounter him in any Dungeon. Note that the capricious Butcher will attack players at any time, constantly reminding players to be vigilant on the map.

The moment a player encounters him, his gaze instantly locks onto the player. The next second, the player will hear his greedy exclamation, Ah, fresh meat! followed by the heavy footsteps of Butcher charging towards the player.

Although his imposing physique is the first impression he gives players, players should not overlook his boss status; his rapid movement speed is also one of his strengths. His preferred weapon is Hook, which he uses to lock onto players, drag them over, and attack, often dealing massive damage.

Butcher has always been a unique spawn point, practically an integral part of Diablo 4 for a long time. Many players consider him aniconic character in the game. What's special is that players of different skill levels will take completely different approaches when dealing with Butcher, which has sparked a growing discussion.

In reality, experienced high-level players no longer consider Butcher a threat. However, for newcomers who haven't leveled up quickly enough and have limited experience, facing this sudden boss can be overwhelming, especially given the significant power disparity between them and Butcher.

Countermeasures

Recently, a player encountered Butcher at level 9, fighting desperately but still being instantly killed. Unaware of the situation, he initially thought Butcher was part of the mission he was supposed to complete, but it turned out to be just a surprise gift from the developers to the players.

For low-level players, the best solution in this situation is to run away immediately. Don't have any conquest mentality towards the currently powerful Butcher; the disastrous outcome will once again shock you. After all, how can a player equipped with only white or blue items like Butter Knife and Burlap Sack possibly cope?

Advice for New Players: Don't worry about being instantly killed by Butcher. His appearance is designed to create a tense and exciting first encounter. Of course, you'll soon experience frustration. New players should think of him as a stepping stone on their leveling journey. Once you're strong enough, you might even look back fondly on those innocent days.

To deal with Butcher, run around him in circles, whittling down his health as much as possible. Alternatively, you can inflict damage first, then constantly look for opportunities to change your position. The key to this method is to increase his movement speed and wear down his health. Be careful not to stray too far from him. Butcher's Hook is not to be underestimated.

Encountering Butcher is inherently random, and players will not only meet Butcher once. Therefore, players treat it as a practice opportunity and don't need to care too much about winning or losing. It's fair to say that every player will experience Butcher's relentless attacks in the early stages.

In the early game, new players should focus on the campaign mode, as this is essential for leveling up and will be indispensable in later battles. Spending about 8 hours should allow you to level up your first character of the season to level 60. Afterward, collect Diablo 4 items such as Tempering, Gems, and maxed Whisper Caches to help your subsequent characters level up.

Note that players should pay attention to the color-coded quests; purple quests are important and should be prioritized. As you level up, the amount of gear consumed will become increasingly noticeable, but as you defeat enemies, your gear level will gradually reach its maximum, making it incredibly easy to defeat enemies with a single blow.

Furthermore, since Season 12's theme is Slaughter, there will be two Butchers. These include the previously encountered Old Butcher and Relentless Butcher. With Butchers becoming stronger in the new season, their appearance frequency will also increase significantly, which is like adding insult to injury for novice players.

Old Butchers are relatively rare, and for low-level players, the chance of successfully killing him is extremely slim. However, it's not a guaranteed endeavor. By changing your mindset, you can understand that he won't spawn twice in a dungeon at the same time. Exploiting this loophole, players can simply die and respawn to avoid him.

Later, in Torment difficulty, the significant difference with Relentless Butcher is that he respawns, making the previous approach impossible. The good news is that his attack power is lower than Old Butcher's, so you can try to damage him. Ultimately, it's a thankless task, as players will gain zero experience and zero loot.

In general, there's no need to worry too much about Butcher's existence. The different experiences you have with them at each stage are part of the player's enjoyment. We look forward to seeing your brilliant performance in Diablo 4 Season 12, Season of Slaughter.

As ARC Raiders continues its steady development, Embark Studios, a mainstay of the shoot-and-escape game genre, is constantly refining the game's details, aiming to maintain mainstream industry tastes while developing its own unique style.

A week ago, Embark Studios announced changes to the game's voice acting, advocating for the replacement of the original AI-generated voices with real-life voice actors. CEO Patrick Söderlund believes this is crucial for enhancing the overall quality and player immersion.

To learn more, follow along as I continue.

Key Dialogues Re-recorded by Humans

Today, it's undeniable that ARC Raiders has achieved a significant market share, boasting sales and approximately one million weekly active players. This growing audience constantly puts the game in the spotlight. Therefore, the somewhat stiff AI voice acting is no longer suitable.

Early on, some players complained about AI dialogue sounding out of place in the beautifully designed world-building. This shows that the voice acting issues were already emerging. Embark Studios believes that actors imbue their recorded voices with rich emotion and experience. Subtle differences lie hidden within this.

Of course, Söderlund further clarifies that this doesn't mean replacing all AI lines with humans. He argues that for certain scenes in the game, such as those emphasizing emotional expression, crucial moments, and scenes involving subtext, human actors are clearly more suitable.

For the already well-received AI-generated clips, an upgraded approach will be adopted. This choice between human actors and AI demonstrates the developers' efforts to balance the daily workload and costs of game voice acting.

Embark continues to emphasize that the game's primary visual presentation is unrelated to generative AI. This clearly demonstrates the studio's firm stance and principles, conveying a clear boundary between intelligent tools and game style. It effectively answers previous controversies surrounding the alleged involvement of AI in the game's development process.

With the voice changes in ARC Raiders, the game's monthly sales reached 14 million, and weekly active users exceeded 6 million, which seems to reflect the players' attitude. The voice changes may seem like a minor step, but as a creative means of retaining players, they appear to be very successful. Voice is a companion for players in the game, and a human touch becomes key.

Voice acting quality consistently outweighs cost

With AI dialogue developing rapidly and becoming increasingly sophisticated, more and more game developers are choosing to abandon voice actors. However, it's not without flaws; the core issue is the lack of human emotional expression. This can be seen in easily overlooked pauses, subtle breathing sounds, and noticeably different tones of voice.

The shortcomings of AI dialogue are precisely where the professional skills of voice actors shine. It's worth mentioning that large-scale narrative games like Baldur's Gate 3 still use real actors, with a cast exceeding one hundred. This undoubtedly represents a significant investment of time, experience, and valuable effort from Larian Studios.

In fact, the economic benefits of the changes cannot be measured solely by the lower cost of AI; it's a crucial aspect of game strategy. Synthetic voices can adapt to the rapid pace of technological change, as frequent updates to game storylines necessitate quick selection of live-action voice actors.

However, it's important to consider the substantial number of game users. The existence of placeholder ships would force rework, undoubtedly eroding player trust and immersion.

Embark opted for a hybrid approach, combining AI and live actors. On one hand, AI ensures timely updates to the game's voice packs, improving operational speed. On the other hand, live actors primarily enrich emotional expression, providing nuance and complement.

This combination achieves the optimal voice solution to the greatest extent possible. Inevitably, the ever-expanding user base will lead to increasing costs, continuously posing new challenges for Embark Studios.

Outlook for AI Voice in Gaming Industry

The development of ARC Raiders is no longer as modest as it once was and comes at a critical time when the entire gaming industry is being forced to rethink AI. According to the latest gaming industry survey released by GDC, many game developers are beginning to use generative AI, which is a dangerous sign.

Fortunately, most developers remain concerned about the negative impacts of AI on games, and consequently, on employment, ethics, and quality. Convenience often leads to significant problems. This issue has attracted the attention of SAG-AFTRA and UK Equity, both of which strongly advocate for the need for permission to use synthesized voices in interactive media. Compensation and protection are also essential.

Currently, many studios are making moves in the field of AI voice synthesis. For example, using AI to simulate casual conversations and NPC dialogues, and using AI learning to complete dialogue for a deceased actor. It is worth noting that AI's capabilities are growing stronger and cannot be ignored.

Based on market feedback and analysis of diverse audience opinions, it's generally believed that while AI can compensate for shortcomings, it shouldn't be used to replace live-action performances. Tools must be used appropriately to fulfill their intended purpose.

Embark will also be making minor tweaks to the voice acting and some ARC Raiders Items; players can look forward to it. Knowing that ARC Raiders is focusing on live-action voice acting, do you have any thoughts on other aspects of the game?

Path of Exile Mirage League launched on March 6th. This League allows for some very powerful defensive builds, primarily due to the addition of Keepers of Flame in League 3.28, including the Genesis tree and all Foulborn unique items.

In addition, the new League introduces Volatile Vaal Orbs, granting players previously unattainable Legendary item attributes. This guide will detail some of the powerful defensive builds in League 3.28, aiming to deepen players' understanding of the game.

Damage Taken As League Changes

First, we need to understand the core mechanic of PoE, Breach 2.0, and its impact on damage-taking builds, especially how to achieve 100% physical damage conversion. In League 3.25, many methods for converting physical damage to other damage types were significantly weakened or even removed. This has resulted in many builds no longer achieving the 100% damage conversion rate that was popular across multiple Leagues.

Then, in League 3.26, a new unique jewel, Bound By Destiny, was added, which could convert up to 10% of physical damage into elemental damage based on Conqueror Modifiers. However, this was still insufficient to compensate for the impact of previous League nerfs.

In League 3.27, Keepers of Flame, new Filthy gear was introduced, some of which once again unlocked the potential to convert 100% of physical damage into other types of damage. At that league, it was uncertain whether Filthy gear would be added to core gear, but it has now been officially added to core gameplay in League 3.28, with eight pieces.

Reaching 100% Physical Damage Shift

After League 3.28, these defensive setups are now usable in core gameplay. To convert 100% of physical damage received into elemental damage, you need to combine some unique items with Eldritch Implicit Modifier. It's worth noting that you can also use Lightning Coil to convert 50% of physical damage received into lightning damage.

In addition, there's the unique shield from Dawn Breaker, which converts up to 20% of physical damage received into fire damage. This brings your physical damage conversion rate up to 70%.

Then there's the unique jewel Bound By Destiny, which converts up to 10% of physical damage received into elemental damage. However, note that this jewel requires you to equip four specific Warlord-influenced items to activate.

Remember, you should avoid exceeding 100% of your damage conversion rate, as this attribute, unlike damage conversion, is not normalized to 100%. This means that if your conversion rate is significantly higher than 100%, you will take more damage than you would have originally received as physical damage.

Therefore, attributes like armor offer no real benefit beyond auxiliary mechanics like Molten Shell. With 75% base resistance, this means that regardless of how high the physical attack damage is, you will only take a quarter of the damage.

In PoE Mirage League, players must consider base resistance because many physical attacks deal significantly less damage than elemental attacks.

Regarding damage reduction itself, you can further enhance your damage reduction capabilities through Fortification, Endurance Charge, or Maximum Resistance if you wish.

This mechanism is very powerful, but it also has a significant drawback. It severely restricts your build choices, as you need to use specific gear to complement multiple gear slots.

In Path of Exile 3.28 League, the introduction of Volatile Vaal Orbs will increase your modifier cap by up to 22%. This means you may need to invest heavily in Path of Exile Currency on your gear; if your budget allows, you can quickly reach your desired modifier goals.

100% Shift with Corruptions

Lightning Coil can be corrupted with Volatile Vaal Orbs, increasing the percentage of physical damage received converted to lightning damage to 61%. This equates to an additional 11% damage conversion. Dawn Breaker does the same, increasing the percentage of physical damage received converted to fire damage to 24%.

This means that by equipping just two pieces of gear, you can achieve a damage conversion rate of up to 85%. After that, you can achieve 100% conversion by using Bound By Destiny with Eldrich helmet implicit.

Full Fire Taken Setup

Thanks to Volatile Vaal Orbs, you have another option. Converting 100% of physical damage to fire damage is especially important when using Sublime-Vision builds, as it converts all frost and lightning damage to fire damage. However, this setup is also very expensive.

Cloak of Flame can convert 49% of physical damage to fire damage through Volatile Vaal Orbs corruption effect. Then, Darnaw provides a 20% bonus. Eldrich helmet can convert up to 8% of physical damage to fire damage. Finally, using a Bound By Destiny jewel with four Warlord-influenced items can convert up to 10% of physical damage to fire damage.

Taken As Chaos Setups

Let's take a look at the last defensive setup for League 3.28. You can use Volatile Vaal Orb from Incandescent Heart Armor to convert up to 30% of elemental damage into Chaos damage. Meanwhile, Bound By Destiny, combined with four Warlord-influenced items, can convert up to 10% of elemental damage into Chaos damage.

This means you can convert up to 90% of the damage you take into Chaos damage. In addition, Fugitive Ring base introduced in Path of Exile League provides 2% maximum chaos resistance.

That concludes this article. Volatile Vaal Orb enables insane defensive setups in League 3.28, hopefully improving your gaming experience.

In the third-person extraction shooter genre, ARC Raiders has quickly risen to prominence since its release, becoming a popular game. With its unique post-apocalyptic setting, tense and exciting looting gameplay, and thrilling battles against ARC robots and hostile raiders, the game has attracted over 700,000 players.

Based on recent feedback from the player community, the developers have released some new content and adjusted some criticized aspects of the game. This content aims to improve the player experience and attract more players.

To find out what new content and changes have been made, please read on.

Duo Matchmaking

Previously, players could choose to play solo or in teams, but this numerical imbalance made solo players worry about being overwhelmed by the powerful firepower of teams.

In addition to the threat from other players, players also faced the relentless pursuit of ARC robots. Undoubtedly, this numerical disparity directly affected the acquisition of ARC Raiders items and survival in extreme environments.

Especially for solo players, this situation, where danger lies both in front and behind, puts their strategy and skills to the test; otherwise, they may easily fail.

Therefore, many players have suggested that the developers optimize this mechanism to balance the game's development.

Recently, the developers announced that they have tested Duo prioritized matchmaking and will soon fully implement it in future games.

Duo Matchmaking mechanism uses a priority matchmaking system, matching duos and trios with other players in the same scenarios.

While this system cannot guarantee precise matchmaking for teams with varying numbers of players, it signifies ARC Raiders' efforts to balance the game mechanics and create a fairer environment for players.

This change not only allows players to enjoy teaming up with friends but also eliminates the frustration of an imbalanced team composition.

Store Cosmetic Prices

In response to player complaints about excessively high in-game item prices, the developers have adjusted the prices of some items in the store. This adjustment took effect on Thursday, November 13th at 10:30 AM CET.

To compensate players who already owned the discounted items, the official team will refund the price difference to their accounts in the form of Raider Tokens within one week. This approach both appeases players' emotions and ensures that no player suffers a significant loss because of the store price adjustment.

Raider Decks

Currently, all ARC Raiders players can receive a free Raider Decks, which contains ARC Raiders items that can be unlocked through game progression, providing valuable assistance to new players exploring the post-apocalyptic world.

In the future, the official team plans to release more free and paid Raider Decks.

Importantly, paid Raider Decks do not contain any pay-to-win ARC Raiders items. Instead, they will focus on cosmetic items used to customize players' raiders and provide convenient functions.

This approach ensures game balance, allowing players to focus more on developing winning skills and strategies rather than spending real money.

Overall, these adjustments and changes to ARC Raiders game are essentially based on player feedback. This approach of continuously improving the game and actively listening to player feedback not only enhances the engagement of existing players but also attracts more new players, earning ARC Raiders widespread recognition from players and the public.

So, jump into ARC Raiders now and experience the thrill of shooting games and the joy of adventuring with your companions in this war-torn world!

In Borderlands 4, besides completing the main mining quest, side quests are also crucial, offering numerous rewards.

For example, after completing the main quest, Shadow of the Mountain, and unlocking Belton's Bore as a primary faction town, you'll unlock The Importance of Being Furnished.

Wrenchless Allen is a man who values ​​artistic creation. He runs a humble art stall in the game. If you meet him in the game, he may invite you to join his artistic journey, but he no longer remembers where the chair instruction manual is. Your task is to help him find it, but beware of attacks from his art critics along the way.

How To Craft Wrenchless Allen's Chair?

Wrenchless Allen is located in a small stall on the right side of the second-floor room. Approach him and speak to him to accept this quest.

First, he instructs you to search the trash cans located on the same floor as the vending machines. You'll need to follow his instructions and search the trash cans along the staircase. However, the side quest cannot be so easy, so there must be nothing in the trash can.

He then instructs you to check the washing machines, located directly below and across from the trash cans. After searching six washing machines, you'll still find nothing. Wrenchless Allen finally gives you crucial information: go to the grill.

Next, follow the path out of Belton's Bore and onto the section between the two bridges. Look for the grill in the rest area and find the clue inside. After talking to Wrenchless Allen on the phone, you will be attacked by a group of art critics led by Ripper. They are very dissatisfied with Wrenchless Allen, and you need to defeat them.

After completing the above requirements, return to Belton's Bore and find the chair fragments Wrenchless Allen needs. The chair fragments are scattered across the following five locations in town:

1. On the wall near the bridge at the town entrance;
2. On the crate next to Belton's Bore Active Checkpoint;
3. On the floor above the doorway to the circular alcove on the left side of the room;
4. On the upper floor on the left side of the room, above the trash can;
5. On the two blue barrels outside Belton's Bore entrance.

Once you have collected all the chair fragments, bring them back to Wrenchless Allen's stall and assemble them. You will then have two choices: sell the chair to Wrenchless Allen or destroy it.

End-Of-Mission Rewards

While you are making this choice, Wrenchless Allen may be temporarily marked as an enemy, but you cannot harm or attack him; your only target is the chair.

However, no matter which method you choose, this side quest is successfully completed, and both options will give you basic rewards in the end, including some Borderlands 4 money and items.The only difference is that if you choose to sell the chair to Wrenchless Allen, you'll receive an additional cash reward: EXP, 1,000 Cash, and some Eridium. This is his way of paying you back for your hard work.

At this point, the side quest has been successfully completed. I believe that you, as a smart person, have quickly grasped the key points. So don't hesitate, open the game quickly, complete the quest and get the rewards.

Hello fellow Diablo 4 players. In Season 10, Tornado Necromancer will be considered the most powerful class in the entire game, especially in Infernal Hordes. Its only possible competitor is Sorcerer, which boasts relatively higher survivability and mobility.

But if we're only talking about Infernal Hordes, Tornado Necromancer is the clear choice. In Tornado 4, you can cover the entire screen with Tornado. Furthermore, it can knock enemies into the air before they even have time to react. You can even play with four players, and they won't even need to control the game, because as soon as they appear, you can see Tornado and use it to cover the entire screen.

How's that? Sounds awesome, doesn't it? So what options does this Tornado Necromancer build need to achieve all of this? Here are some skills, gear, and Paragons you can place in this build. Please note that this information is based on PTR and is likely to change during the official season.

Optimal Chaos Perks For Generating Tornados

So how do we get Tornados? How do you summon so many Tornados? Many people ask this question, and it all comes down to the new Chaos Perks released in Season 10, which changed the balance of Necromancer. So, only if you play this class will your Core skills become Ultimate skills, and vice versa, before you can get Shadow Bone Storm.

Normally, it doesn't have Shadow, so you need to convert it to Shadow. This way, you gain all Non-Physical Damage and Shadow Stats. Furthermore, you can also use Decimating Desecration, so your damage bonus has a chance to deal 100x damage, the same as your critical strike chance.

Ideally, you should aim for 100% critical strike chance whenever possible. Additionally, you can guarantee critical damage through special Runeword combinations. So, even if you only have one Rune that guarantees critical strikes while constantly activating your Core or Ultimate skill, it can still give you a significant critical strike chance, resulting in increased damage.

The remaining two Chaos Perks focus on Necromancer survivability, so we recommend Crazy Brew and Marred Guard, which will give you additional attack speed and Armor. Alternatively, you can simply spend a large amount of Diablo 4 gold to improve the effectiveness of your defensive gear and the strength of your defensive skills. This is the easiest and most convenient way.

This is how to cover the entire screen with Tornado. Alternating Alterations are also highly recommended; they're absolutely essential for completing The Pit at level 100. It's important to note that in Infernal Hordes, you'll need to perform these Chaos Perks hundreds of times to obtain all the recommended items. This is because new items are so rare that it's difficult to get what you want.

Now that you know which Chaos Perks can create a large, powerful Tornado build, let's talk about your available skills and why they're necessary.

Skills

Usually, in most situations, you'll want to use Bone Storm. Alternatively, you can use Book of the Dead for increased Shadow damage and the added bonus of Skeletal Mage's Overpower Damage.

You can also use Golem Sacrifice for extra crit damage, even sacrificing all your minions. This creates a Shadow Storm Tornado build.

Gear

Next, we'll talk about gear. I'll link Mythic and Non-Mythic versions. We need to have Lidless Wall running. When we activate Bone Storm to attack an enemy, this gives us the opportunity to use it again.

As a result, we might encounter all sorts of terrifying tornadoes throughout the game, and Bone Storm can deal double the damage. Fist of Fate is also very powerful here, maxing out your attack speed and critical strike rate. Actually, that's the real reason I use it. It also activates Vulnerability, making it another excellent choice, and it offers the opportunity to crowd control enemies, which is a huge benefit. Next, we can use Banish Swords Talisman, a core skill that's also an ultimate skill. It gives us overpower, and attack speed is crucial here.

You can use Ebonpiercer to increase Reaper's Pursuit's damage. Then, we can cast Bloodless Scream, which increases the level of our Darkness skills, and use Ultimate Shadow to convert Bone Storm into a Darkness skill. Remember, this is crucial!

After this, we level up to Ultimate, which allows us to deal even more damage. Shielding Storm is also essential for survivability, otherwise we'll be very vulnerable. You can also use Amulet to gain maximum life, but if you want more damage, you'll need something that increases damage.

It's worth noting that we need resources. Casting Ultimate Restores Resources will restore resources, otherwise you'll run out of them. This is why we have infinite resources, which you can add to your level. But remember, attack speed and critical chance are the two things you need to achieve.

You definitely want 100% critical strike in a Tornado Necromancer build. For all offensive characters, you can either get crit or overpower. Overpower is better for gradual progression, while crit is more consistent over time because you get 100% crit, but overpower depends on when you use your skills.

Starless Sky is one of the best items in the game. Then use Apogeic Furor, which boosts ultimate and core skills. Therefore, you only need to use it to deal more damage. Finally, for the non-mythic build, losing Ring of Starless Skies will cost you crit and attack speed, so you might want to get Accelerating Aspect to make you faster.

Passive Skill Tree

Skill Tree is very important to us because you need it in your skill slot so we can use Blight. After this, we get a multiplier, which is basically a way to spawn additional corpses.

Since it's a Darkness skill, if you want to activate corpse explosions, it has a multiplier. You need to add Blighted Corpse Explosion to it to convert it into a Darkness skill.

We can then run Titan's Fall for some added damage and armor. While you might not need it, it can be very helpful if you want extra Spiked armor. Of course, it depends not only on the specific character but also on your skills. Then, run Death's Embrace for more damage reduction.

I prefer to increase Lucky Hit Chance, which has a chance to cause stun, and since you've summoned so many Tornados, we can trigger the control ability on Paragon. This is all Shadow damage.

Reaper's Pursuit is also very noticeable. It gives us good movement speed. Necromancer's movement speed is amazing because you invest a lot of points in it. It's mainly for damage, but the skill can be converted into other things. Next up is Necrotic Carapace, which is how we get Fortify for free.

Remember, you get the core skill, while this one is the ultimate skill, as it's converted into a new perk: Chaos Perks.

Finally, we also use Ossified Essence here, which increases our essence generation, while its bone skills also increase damage, allowing us to gain even more essence.

This allows you to lock in and gain a lot of essence, and in fact, you can also get it off-hand. Remember, maximum resource is key to having extra damage.

Paragon

For Paragon cards, we can start with Abyssal, which will give us more non-physical damage. We can also use Dominate here for more damage, followed by Scent of Death, which will be getting a buff in the latest update.

Here, you can use Essence for a Blood Bath to deal more crit damage, but note that it only works in higher decks, which is why we're ordering them. Since we don't have minions, we can use Sacrificial, which will deal more damage.

Next, use Bone Skills to increase your resources; more resources means more damage. Then, I'd use Wither with Control, which gives you a chance to deal more damage. Similarly, we'll use Shadow Damage for crowd control, which is optional.

It's important to note that when a boss enters Staggered state, all your control skills are affected. This primarily affects your skill tree, so you only need to add a bit of skill to it, as it attacks tanks so many times. This results in Tornadoes spawning one after another.

Fist of Fate also has a chance of being weak, but this version is quite good. Torment 4 is the most important new mode, and almost all of these gameplays are in it. Infernal Hordes is a crucial mode to delve into next season. Bartuc can gradually increase his damage to billions, and after multiple attacks, you'll earn all the rewards.

Tornado Necromancer build is undoubtedly the most powerful one in Diablo 4 Season 10. That's all we have for today. I'll continue to update the guide. I wish you a wonderful experience in the game!

A few days ago, WoW MoP Classic released patch 5.5.1, which applies to Phase 2. It will officially launch on September 23rd. Phase 2 not only improves upon previous gameplay but also adds new content. Let’s explore these features below.

It introduces Krasarang Wilds zone and the return of Brawler's Guild that appeared in MoP Classic phase 1. It also features the highly anticipated PvE and PvP gear upgrade system, and new content has been added to Legendary questline. Let’s discuss these aspects in detail.

1. Innovation

Krasarang Wilds, a key zone in MoP Classic‘s Pandaria, continues the main storyline and introduces Landfall Campaign, where players can establish their own camp. In Phase 2, it becomes the main campaign zone and adds five new scenarios. This further provides PvE players with new challenging objectives and rewards.

Brawler's Guild from Mists of Pandaria Classic Phase 1 returns in this phase. Access to Brawler's Guild requires players to possess a Blood-Soaked Invitation, which can be obtained from Black Market Auction House, by killing specific Horde and Alliance NPCs in Krasarang Wilds, or through a Friend's Invitation in Brawler's Guild.

It provides a unique venue for PvE players to test their skills in one-on-one battles against bosses. Twenty-eight new bosses have been added in this phase. As the boss's level continues to increase, the difficulty players encounter also continues to increase.

Victory will increase your rank, leading to new quest rewards such as WoW MoP Classic Gold or a battle pet.

Phase 2 introduces a limited-time XP bonus. To help level 85-90 players level faster in Pandaria, the experience bonus has been increased from 10% to 65%, helping them gain access to new alts and mains in Pandaria more quickly. This change will help players level up faster and reduce unnecessary processing.

The faction war questline from Classic MoP continues. Increasing your reputation with Black Prince faction is crucial to unlocking this questline. Players earn Revered by completing daily quests and killing monsters in locations like Dread Wastes, Vale of Four Winds, and Isle of Thunder.

After completing the questline, Blacktalon Quartermaster will award a commendation: Eye of Black Prince, which adds a Prismatic Socket to Sha-Touched weapons.

2. Changes

In the new phase, PvP titles and rewards have changed. Gladiator and Rank 1 titles will appear not only in traditional 3v3 combinations, but also in 2v2 and 5v5. Players who obtain a Gladiator will be given a special new title, Undisputed Gladiator. Some players are pleased with this change, believing it to be a meaningful improvement and hoping for more rewards in future PvP innovations.

In the new phase of Mists of Pandaria Classic, both PvE and PvP players will have their gear upgraded.

PvE

PvE players can convert Valor Points into Justice Points through Commendations of Justice to upgrade Epic Gear and Rare Gear at a 1:4 conversion ratio. Epic Gear can be upgraded by four item levels for 1,000 Justice Points, which are redeemed for 250 Valor Points. Rare Gear can be upgraded by eight item levels for 750 Justice Points.

PvP

Players use Commendations of Honor to convert Conquest points into Honor points to upgrade Epic and Rare Gear, with a conversion ratio of 1:4. Because Epic Gear can be upgraded twice, a full upgrade requires 2,000 Honor points, which are redeemed for 500 Conquest points. Rare Gear can be upgraded eight item levels for just 750 Honor points.

This provides increased flexibility for both players, as they are no longer restricted to using individual points for upgrades. Furthermore, the conversion ratio further reduces the cost of upgrading, eliminating the need to waste precious Valor Points and Honor Points.

This concludes our discussion of WoW MoP Classics Phase 2 implementation in patch 5.5.1. Its innovations and changes are worth anticipating, so let's wait and see when the final version launches.
