Spiritborn Class Mechanic – Spirit Hall Choice

The Spirit Hall allows you to combine two different Spirit Guardians or stick with just one. For this build, we picked Jaguar as the primary and secondary Guardian for overall damage.

  • Primary Spirit Guardian: Jaguar
    • Every 15th time you deal direct damage with a Jaguar skill, unleash a Beat Strike dealing 43% damage, increasing all damage you deal by 3%[x] and doubling each subsequent Beat Strike’s damage, stacking 5 times. You lose all stacks when you stop attacking for 1 second. All skills are now Jaguar Skills
  • Secondary Spirit Guardian: Jaguar
    • Maximum Ferocity increased by 1. Gain 1 stack of Ferocity whenever you kill an enemy or damage a Boss.

Gear, Stats, Gems, and Runes

The following sections cover all systems that are important if you want to improve the power of your character in the endgame of Diablo 4. 

Legendary Aspects

Each Aspect is listed with its matching gear slot. Do your best to keep each Aspect in the assigned slot. Remember to salvage Legendary Items with higher Aspect values to unlock them in the Codex of Power, and then imprint them onto gear pieces with the preferred affixes.

With the addition of the Horadric Cube Crafting, and the Kullean Tuning Prism it is possible to add a second Aspect to your Amulet, even adding an Aspect to Uniques. While this can be attempted infinitely much like Masterworking or Tempering, it can take a lot of resource to reroll a very specific Aspect. Keep an eye out for any Aspect that has a large number for Offensive or Defensive scaling, as Aspects in the Amulet slot gain a 50% bonus to their potency.

Talisman – Seals and Charms

One new addition with the Lord of Hatred Expansion is the Talisman system. This allows you to add a Seal and up to 6 Charms that provide powerful bonuses to your character. This includes adding additional Unique effects without having to wear a specific unique, or even to collect new Set Charms that grant more powerful bonuses as you socket more of the set. For a more detailed breakdown check out our General Talisman Guide here!

This build is all about the Jaguar Spirit Hall, and will be using the Rezoka’s Rage Charm Set to scale your Attack Speed, Dodge Chance, Damage Reduction, Critical Strike Damage, and more by stacking the Prowess buff it grants. You will use the SepazontecSepazontec Unique Charm to empower your ThrashThrash, making it always use its 3rd Attack, and make every third use strike 3 times!

Build Mechanics

Rotation and Playstyle

As with basically all Spiritborn builds, you will be using most of your abilities when they come off cooldown, while spamming your primary damage skill. For this build, ThrashThrash is your bread and butter, and you should be using it constantly while cycling your other abilities. Here is a breakdown of how that works:

  1. Use ScourgeScourge to apply Vulnerable, Weakened, and Poison to nearby enemies.
  2. Use RavagerRavager to scale your Cooldown rate, and improve your Ferocity stacking.
  3. Use CounterattackCounterattack to improve your Dodge Chance, and add additional automatic strikes to help scale your Ferocity and Prowess buffs.
  4. Use Armored HideArmored Hide to gain additional Block Chance, and grant you the Unstoppable buff.
  5. Use The HunterThe Hunter on Cooldown for mobility and large amounts of burst damage. Don’t be afraid to use this as often as possible, as it has a very short Cooldown when you are constantly fighting.
  6. Spam ThrashThrash as your primary damage dealer, whenever you aren’t casting any of your Cooldown abilities.

Runeword Synergy

  • YulTzic – Casting Skills with a Cooldown will trigger Concussive StompConcussive Stomp, knocking down nearby enemies.
  • ZanKry – Casting your Ultimate will trigger VortexVortex, grouping enemies up to allow for easier damage application.

Season 14 Updates

In the Death Awakening Season, a Death Cult is chasing you through Sanctuary! Defeat the Risen appearing through Ruptures to earn Seasonal Reputation and Rewards. In the Endgame, all Unique items can drop as Mythic Uniques, and can be crafted in the Horadric Cube, allowing more powerful and targeted affixes. You can also choose to upgrade a regular Unique to a Mythic, but can only wear a single Mythic crafted this way at a time. For this build, you will want to prioritise || as your first Mythic.


Obol Gambling

Similar to Kadala in Diablo 3, the Purveyor of Curiosities lets you gamble your Obols for 850 item power gear at Level 70, making them a great way to fill in missing affixes, Aspects, or upgrades. There is also a small chance to receive an Ancestral piece with item power 900.
