Dominate Diablo 4 Season 9: Top Builds and Tier Lists


<p><a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Diablo 4</a> players are not too happy right now. Why? Because the <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/druid/builds/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Druid class</a> just arrived in Diablo Immortal, and it looks and plays way better than the one in Diablo 4. But how exactly is it different, and why do players think the Diablo Immortal version is so much better?</p>



<p>Let&#8217;s go over a few points from a Reddit thread where players discussed the various issues. You can take a look at the original post here:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" style="height:316px" ><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/comments/1ll37un/diablo_immortal_gets_a_way_better_looking_druid/">Diablo Immortal gets a way better looking Druid design than D4. Why is the difference between the two games so significant?</a><br> by<a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Lemonicetea00/">u/Lemonicetea00</a> in<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/">diablo4</a></blockquote><script async src="https://embed.reddit.com/widgets.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Diablo 4 Druid vs. Diablo Immortal Druid</h2>



<p>The new Druid in Immortal has not only a cool design, but also rather unique spells like fire tornadoes, ice wolves, and even stag morphs. There is a gameplay trailer showing all of it, and players were quick to notice how much more exciting it looks.</p>



<p>You can watch the trailer here:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Diablo Immortal | Announce Cinematic | Druid" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kfMy-a_zkt8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p>Meanwhile, Diablo 4&#8217;s Druid has been one of the least popular classes in the game. It is getting some changes in the upcoming Season 9, but players say the real problem is the lack of style and limited customization. The skills are not really attractive, and the only transformations you have access to are wolf and bear, which can quickly be boring.</p>



<p>On Reddit and social media, many players are asking why a mobile game gets a cooler version of the same class. They also ask Blizzard to add more body types, and more various transformations and skill options in Diablo 4.</p>



<p>Not everyone agrees, though. Some say Diablo Immortal&#8217;s Druid is a bit too similar to the usual Druid representations, compared to the Diablo 4 Druid that is slightly different.</p>



<p>For now, the Diablo 4 Druid will remain the way it is. However, with the latest announcements of big changes coming to the game, it may not be impossible that skills are being worked on, and Druid may get some cooler abilities in the future!</p>



<p>In the meantime, you can also check out what&#8217;s new in <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/diablo-4-latest-season/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Season 9 for Diablo 4</a>!</p>


Diablo 4 Players Jealous of Diablo Immortal’s Cool New Druid


<p><span style="margin: 0px;padding: 0px">Diablo 4&#8217;s 9th season, <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/news/massive-season-9-sins-of-the-horardrim-patch-notes/">Sins of the Horadrim</a>, brings a new endgame mode in the form of <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/news/how-to-escalate-nightmares-face-astaroth-in-diablo-4-season-9/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Escalating Nightmares</a>, which focuses on improving and adding to the overall quality of life for Nightmare Dungeons.</span> One of the many new additions to <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/nightmare-dungeon-tier-list/">Nightmare Dungeons</a> is bringing in new affixes to help keep your runs interesting and rewarding.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Nightmare Dungeon Affixes</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" src="https://static.icy-veins.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Diablo4-Nightmare-Horadric-Reserves-Affix.png" alt="" class="wp-image 79640"/></figure>



<p>While there are both harmful and beneficial Nightmare Dungeon Affixes, season 9 is surprisingly only adding beneficial ones. Here is what to expect:</p>



<ul>
<li><strong>Horadric Reserves</strong>
<ul>
<li>Spawns in loot chests with specialized rewards.</li>



<li>Rewards: Gem Fragments, Gold, Obols, Seasonal Currency, and Resources.</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li><strong>Equipment Delve</strong>
<ul>
<li>Spawns collectible items that upgrade a cache of equipment when acquired.</li>



<li>Rewards: Weapons, Jewelry, and Armor.</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li><strong>Power Shrines</strong>
<ul>
<li>Spawns in additional shrines of the specified type:<br>Artillery, Blast Wave, Channeling, Lethal, and Protection Shrines.</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li><strong>Miscellaneous</strong>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/horadric-strongrooms/">Horadric Strongroom</a>: Guaranteed Horadric Strongroom.</li>



<li>Treasure Breach: Treasure Goblins will invade the dungeon.</li>



<li>Forgotten Wisdom: Experience will have a chance to spawn on kill, and an experience well will spawn somewhere in the dungeon.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>



<p>Most new Diablo 4 seasons add some new mechanics, powers, or seasonal items. Out of the bunch of new things added, there are always a few that stick around permanently, and all of the previously listed Nightmare Dungeon Affixes will be permanent additions to both Seasonal and Eternal Realms.</p>


Season 9 Buffs Nightmare Dungeons With New Permanent Affixes


<p><a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Diablo IV</a> players had a lot to say after the latest Campfire livestream, and the devs are listening. </p>



<p>Following a wave of community disappointment over the last broadcast, Adam Fletcher (@PezRadar), Diablo IV&#8217;s community lead, took to X/Twitter to reassure everyone that big changes are in the works, even if they are not ready to show them just yet.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p>&#8220;<em>Just know, that your warcries of wanting more change aren&#8217;t going unnoticed,&#8221;<br></em>he wrote<em>.</em>&#8220;<em>The team has been cooking on some of the biggest changes that really hit home on things people have been asking for, and more</em>.&#8221;</p>



<p>Adam also admitted he has been less present lately, due to handling a lot behind the scenes, but emphasized that within that work are important plans for Diablo IV&#8217;s future. This only hints at big things coming, most likely with next expansion!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Immunity Phases Are on the List</h2>



<p>One player in the replies asked about a long-standing frustration: the immunity phases on bosses like <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/uber-andariel-boss-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Andariel</a>, <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/uber-duriel-boss-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Duriel</a>, and Mephisto&#8217;s &#8220;dog&#8221; phase.</p>



<p>&#8220;<em>Remove immunity phases… for the love of Lilith</em>,&#8221; wrote one user.<br>Adam simply replied: &#8220;<em>There are plans to fix this up</em>.&#8221;</p>



<p>It is not a full roadmap yet, but it&#8217;s a clear sign that the devs are aware of the points that are bothering players and that changes are coming! Not just minor tuning, but significant overhauls that could redefine the current gameplay.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Is Next for Diablo IV?</h2>



<p>While specifics were not given, Adam&#8217;s message leaves hope that Blizzard is listening closely and making changes that go beyond seasonal updates or quick fixes. With Season 9 right around the corner, players are now waiting to see what these &#8220;biggest changes&#8221; will look like.</p>


Diablo IV Hints at Big Changes After Player Frustration


<p>A few days ago, Blizzard has released a new <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Diablo IV</a> lore video titled &#8220;Apotheosis&#8221;, and it is one of the darkest video of the world of Sanctuary yet. Narrated by Donan himself, the video goes deep into what happened after the fall of <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/astaroth-boss-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Astaroth</a>, and it raises serious concerns for the future of the Horadrim.</p>



<p>You can watch the full video here:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Diablo Lore | Sins of the Horadrim | Apotheosis" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3wxbLHKgfqI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Archangel Is Gone &#8211; And So Is Unity</h2>



<p>Donan&#8217;s message opens with a clear and heavy truth: Tyrael is still missing. Once the guiding hand behind the Horadrim, his absence has left the order fractured, uncertain, and leaderless. Without his wisdom and strength, their ability to resist the forces of Hell is failing.</p>



<p>This isn&#8217;t just a small detail, it is a turning point. Without Tyrael, doubt spreads. Decisions become harder. And when evil is this close, hesitation can be deadly.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Donan&#8217;s Last Stand &#8211; Hope in the Dark</h2>



<p>Even with the Horadrim divided, Donan does not give up. After the brutal battle against Astaroth, he turns to one last hope: the forbidden research of Zoltun Kulle. Buried beneath the sands of Kehjistan, Kulle&#8217;s secret workshop hides dark knowledge, and even darker horrors.</p>



<p>Despite resistance from his peers, Donan uses what he learns to create a new Soulstone, sealing Astaroth&#8217;s evil within it. But this victory comes at a cost: Donan sacrifices himself in the process.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Greater Evil Still Waits</h2>



<p>Though Astaroth has been defeated, the war is far from over. Donan&#8217;s tale warns of a greater threat still rising: even worse demons are on the horizon.</p>



<p>His final words are a call to action, urging both the Cathedral of Light and all who still fight to prepare for what&#8217;s coming next in Season 9: Sins of the Horadrim.</p>



<p>Apotheosis sets the tone for what&#8217;s ahead in Diablo IV. A Sanctuary without Tyrael, Soulstones forged in secrecy, and a hidden evil that has yet to rise.</p>



<p>The question now is not just &#8220;Where is Tyrael?&#8221;<br>It is &#8220;Can we survive without him?&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Future of the Horadrim</h2>



<p>A big part of the next expansion might be Tyrael being missing. Perhaps focused around the high heavens or finally some more lore about the archangels, especially Tyrael. Will he come back? With a holy class rumored for next expansion, it would make sense for Tyrael to come back into the light at the same time. For now, the future of the Horadrim is still blurry, but we might get the answers soon!</p>


Tyrael Has Vanished: Who Will Lead the Horadrim Now?

Massive Season 9: Sins of the Horadrim Patch Notes: Additional Class Changes Detailed


<p>During the last Season 9 Campfire Chat, Blizzard announced a massive nerf to Overpower, as it was present in all the most powerful builds for a few seasons. The nerf was a big 80% reduction to the additive damage buff from health and Fortify amount. In today&#8217;s second Sins of the Horadrim Campfire Chat, that nerf has been increased even further! </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Overpowered No More</h2>



<p>The 80% was not enough to curb the usage of Overpower, and so Blizzard have decided to remove the health and fortification factor entirely. That&#8217;s right, Overpower is now a simple 50% extra damage when it happens. Your health and Fortify amount will not affect it anymore. </p>



<p>This is definitely a big nerf to the affix, so we&#8217;ll see if it&#8217;s still present in the top builds. It&#8217;s still just extra damage if you can get it going, but don&#8217;t forget, the actual amounts of bonus Overpower damage on items were also decreased. They will be closer to the Critical Hit Damage amounts, instead of their current very high values. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Final Changes?</h2>



<p>The first nerf was very much for the PTR to see how it goes. However, the season starts in a few days, so it seems this one is here to stay. At least until the first seasonal patches. Here&#8217;s the final version from the patch notes:</p>



<div class="blizzard-blue-post">

    <h3></h3>
    <div class="blizzard-blue-post-content">
        <ul>
<li>Removed the inherent additive damage portion of Overpower that was based on your Life and Fortify amounts.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote><p><strong>Developer’s Note: </strong><em>On the PTR, we tested an 80% reduction in these additive damage values, but still found Overpower based builds to be overperforming other options due in part to this inherent bonus. Overpower will now only grant up to a 50%[x] damage increase when it triggers, similar to Critical Strikes. However, Overpowers are still intended to be a rarer occurrence than Critical Strikes, relying primarily on guaranteed sources. As a result, balancing of Overpower damage sources are typically higher than similar ones for Critical Strikes.</em></p></blockquote>

<p>Here&#8217;s the section from the Campfire Chat itself:</p>

Overpower Is Dead? Diablo 4 Just Hit It With Another Massive Nerf


<p>The latest developer live stream talks about the upcoming Season 9: Sins of the Horadrim, launching on July 1.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stream Highlights</h2>



<ul>
<li>Blizzard just showed the Season 9 infographic on stream, which covers all the features players can expect in the latest update.</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net/cms/page_media/3UNRNUX4N7AA1750286727044.jpg" alt=""/></figure>



<ul>
<li>The devs are now talking about the story content in Season 9. We won&#8217;t be covering that here, as we don&#8217;t want to go into spoilers.</li>



<li>The devs explained how <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/horadric-strongrooms/">Horadric Strongrooms</a> will work. </li>



<li>When you finish a Horadric Strongroom, you will receive an Escalation Sigil. This is going to spawna series of dungeons that you can complete one after the other.</li>



<li>There are new affixes, e.g. Forgotten Wisdom spawns XP wells across the dungeon.</li>



<li>Blizzard now explains how <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/horadric-spells-guide/">Horadric Spellcraft</a> will work in Season 9: 
<ul>
<li>Horadric Spellcraft lets you build one custom spell by combining three parts, a <strong>Catalyst</strong> (the core spell), <strong>Infusion</strong> (changes the elemental damage type and adds effects), and <strong>Arcana</strong> (up to 3 modifiers, adding buffs, cc, executes, etc.).</li>



<li>Once you slot in the Catalyst, an Infusion, and up to 3 Arcana, you can link it to a skill on your Action Bar, the Horadric effect will trigger when the bound skill is used and the spell is off cooldown.</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li><strong>Horadric Jewels</strong> are powerful gems to augment your Horadric Spellcraft. They are learned from Horadric Tomes found in Strongrooms. They are crafted with Horadric Phials and Gem Fragments.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PTR Learnings</h2>



<p>Now comes the most important part of the stream. Blizzard is going over what they&#8217;ve changed ahead of Season 9 based on community feedback and Season 9 PTR testing!</p>



<ul>
<li>The vast majority of improvements can be found in the <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/news/updated-season-9-patch-2-3-0-notes/">updated Season 9 notes</a>.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Horadric Strongrooms</h2>



<ul>
<li>Horadric Strongroom UI was not clear enough, so they&#8217;ve improved it.</li>



<li>A pit-style death penalty was added to Horadric Strongrooms.</li>



<li>Additional ambushes were added.</li>



<li>The boss will spawn right when you hit max Attunement.</li>



<li>They&#8217;ve added a buff you can carry over to the Escalating Nightmare Dungeon that follows after the Horadric Strongroom.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Escalating Nightmare Dungeons</h2>



<ul>
<li>They updated their difficulty/tuning</li>



<li>They created a bunch new negative affixes.</li>



<li>The Escalating Sigil now has a beam and its own art.</li>



<li>A pre-Torment version of the Escalating Sigil has been added. It won&#8217;t feature the Astaroth fight, though, that&#8217;s reserved for Torment difficulties.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Balance Changes</h2>



<ul>
