The Season 10 PTR for Diablo 4 is ongoing, and players are already talking about it a lot on Reddit. Some say it is the best the game has felt so far, and others think it is still just “flashy” seasonal stuff without much depth. So… is Season 10 really worth jumping into?
Chaos Rifts and Infernal Hordes
One of the big new features, Chaos Rifts, are showing up during Helltides, and people are finding them surprisingly tough! Especially the Legendary versions. A lot of players like that they actually feel challenging.
The new Infernal Hordes are also rather fun, though some PTR bugs made it tricky for people to unlock the higher torment versions.
Chaos Armor
The star of the PTR so far seems to be Chaos Armor, which is letting players try out all kinds of wild builds. The new powers are pushing things much further. Here are a few stand-out builds that are really fun, and working incredibly well during the PTR:
- One Spiritborn build gives a permanent 180% damage boost if you stack the right uniques:
- Rogues are trying out full
Heartseeker builds, skipping 
Poison Imbuement/
Shadow Imbuement/
Cold Imbuement completely. - Sorcerers are going extreme with mana shield builds:
- 5k mana + 40 HP +
Axial Conduit + 
Hydra costing 10% mana instead of 500
- 5k mana + 40 HP +
For some, this is what they have been waiting for! A season that actually changes how classes are played, rather than another round of gimmicky modifiers. This time, you can actually come up with unique and original builds, and even make abilities work that were not doing their job before!
The Other Side of the Debate
Not everyone is sold, though. A chunk of the community feels it is still just another round of temporary seasonal buffs. The main complaints are:
- Still no real endgame grind like leaderboards.
- Seasonal powers do not stick around after the season.
- Blizzard seems to save the big system updates for paid expansions, not the free seasons.
As one player put it: “Yeah it’s fun now, but D4 still feels behind other similar games.”
So, Is It Worth Playing?
Right now, Season 10 looks like it has some of the most fun and creative stuff we have seen in Diablo 4 yet. Chaos Rifts are tough, builds feel broken in a good way, and the variety is keeping people busy on the PTR. The real question is will this excitement last? Or will it just fade once the seasonal theme is gone.
Either way, it feels like Blizzard might finally be moving in the right direction with Season 10!
