In Diablo 4, many Rogue players will stick to this class no matter what season. It does have some unique features that attract players all the time, such as its very fast movement speed and very strong damage.
Rogue in season 9 now has a very interesting gameplay, which allows you to continuously teleport in dungeons, and you will pass them at a very fast speed. This is an advantage that other builds cannot achieve, and you can still maintain this gameplay even in The Pit,
Advantages
Disadvantages
In terms of leveling skills, Dance of Knives is still the most powerful AOE skill in Rogue, so it is indispensable in the leveling stage. But in the endgame stage, you don’t need the skill. You can use Diablo 4 gold to reset the skill points and replace other skills.
In the early stages, players cannot get high-level items, so try to pick weapons and equipment that are easily accessible. In addition to the helmet, chest armor and boots, you need to provide you with resistance, maximum health and armor. The affixes on your weapons, rings and other Diablo 4 items should focus on attack speed and critical hit rate.
Catalyst
Infusion
Arcana:
Horadric Spells in the leveling stage are different from those in the endgame, and Bottled Wind is very important, which is the key to Rogue survival.
Death Mask Teleport Flurry Rogue does not rely on Horadric Spells to travel. You can notice that there are many skills that allow Rogue to move quickly. Horadric Spells are only used to provide resources for the ultimate skill (Shadow Clone).
Every time you cast Shadow Clone, your other skills will reset their cooldowns, and you will have constant opportunities to move to the next location. You can also change other ultimate skills. The reason for choosing Shadow Clone is that it can not only control the enemy, but also has good damage.
Deathmask of Nirmitruq is the core equipment of this build. It increases damage by consuming health points. The more you have, the better! But this will also reduce your health to a dangerous level, and you may even only have 1 health point. So you have to make sure you have a barrier to protect you from damage.
If you don’t have this Diablo 4 item, your damage will be greatly reduced.
Catalyst:
Infusion:
Arcana:
The final Horadric Spells, in addition to increasing damage, is to maintain Bottled Wind. Once you lose your barrier, you may die immediately.
The above is the general content of this build. Although it is very interesting and performs well in The Pit, this build is not a simple build. Whether it is equipment, skill roll order, or resource control, you will need some time to learn.
Spiritborn received a big buff in Season 9, so it is likely to be the best class in Season 9. Besides the Thorns Spiritborn Build that utilizes the new unique item Balazan’s Maxtlatl obtained by Spiritborn, Quill Volley Spiritborn, which has been powerful for several seasons, is also one of the top Spiritborn builds in season 9.
Diablo 8’s Boss Powers are not as flexible as Horadric Spells, and Horadric Spells, which can freely choose the damage type, make Spiritborn farming faster.
Pros
Cons
Quill Volley Spiritborn has many pros, while the only con is the gear. This set of equipment contains 4 legendary aspects, which have lowered some requirements, but the most difficult to get are the two Mythic unique items, Shroud of False Death and Ring of Starless Skies. They are several times more difficult to farm than other unique items, and you may have to farm for several hours in the dungeon to get a random Mythic unique item.
Before you get these two mythic items, you can temporarily replace them with other items. The recommended items are:
The difficulty of obtaining these two Diablo 4 items is not high, but it will affect your maximum damage. If conditions permit, try to replace them.
Quill Volley Spiritborn relies mainly on Quill Volley, and you keep sending out feathers like a shotgun, killing large groups of enemies, and enemies that are close to you will take more damage. This is why this build is good at farming dungeons and dealing with bosses.
The reason for choosing Quill Volley as the core skill of Spiritborn is actually very simple. It not only has the highest damage at close range among all other core skills, but also has a longer range than core skills. Other skills cannot compete with it at all.
The above skills are the skills you will get after reaching the end game. You can try other skills in the early stage and then use Diablo 4 gold to reset the skills and add points again after you get enough skill points.
The role of Horadric Spells cannot be underestimated. The performance in PTR has proved that they even change the way the game is played. In Season 9, which was officially launched on July 1, some Horadric Spells have been reworked, while most have been strengthened.
Celestial Surge: Summon a rune that can pull all surrounding enemies into it, and then a torrent of stars will randomly hit the area 20 times, causing damage each time.
Smoldering Ember: Your Catalyst spells now deal Fire and/or Burn damage.
The adjustment to Horadric Spells is a buff for Quill Volley Spiritborn. Horadric Spells can keep monsters’ damage resistance auras inactive, and constantly execute enemies, resetting the cooldown of Catalyst skills. You can imagine that whether it is a dungeon or The Pit, Quill Volley Spiritborn will be very fast to farm!
Players who own the DLC can use Diablo 4 gold to hire mercenaries to help you. They can resist some damage or provide you with buffs.
Hired: Raheir
Reinforcement: Varyana
The above is the general content of Diablo 4 Season 9 Quill Volley Spiritborn. If you want to play Spiritborn in a relaxed and fun style, then this build can satisfy you. You don’t need to use any other skills besides Quill Volley to pass most nightmare dungeons.
Druid of Diablo 4 Season 9 was severely weakened by Cataclysm, and the new unique item of Season 9 originally also could not bring much improvement to Druid in testing, but fortunately the developers drastically modified this unique item before the official launch. While current Druid may still not be the best class, but it is worth trying.
So if you plan to play a Druid in Season 9, you need a leveling build, and Earth Spike Druid may be one of the best leveling builds in Season for Druid.
Spirit Boons
Earth Spike Druid’s skills mainly rely on Earth Spike and Storm Strike Use them together to quickly clear monsters. Since these skills are mainly used to deal with monsters in a large area, they may not fast to deal with bosses.
The advantages of the above skills are survival, control, damage, and even unstoppable to prevent monsters from releasing control skills to interrupt your farming rhythm. You can learn Earth Spike skill in the early stage, which is your main skill, and Storm Strike is the last skill you can learn. You can learn other skills to increase damage in the early stage and then use Diablo 4 Gold to reset the skill points after the level is sufficient.
Since this build is a leveling build, you don’t need to have unique items. The above equipment is for your reference. As long as you find a better upgrade item, replace it. These can slightly improve your farming efficiency.
So how do you judge whether an item is better? You just need to know which affixes are useful to you. Your helmet, chest plate, pants, and boots need to provide you with armor, maximum health, or various resistances. (For shoes, the higher the speed, the better. Speed is important both in your early stage and in the endgame.)
Your other equipment can focus on attack speed, critical hit chance, and willpower. Especially attack speed, it can help you clear monsters and farm gold faster, and you can save your materials and Diablo 4 gold for the endgame.
As the season power of season 9, Horadric Spells are much more interesting than Boss Powers, and some of them are particularly suitable for farming dungeons. And Horadric Spells were strengthened before Season 9 officially went online, and now they are even stronger.
Effect: Release an arcane conductor and shoot a continuous beam between your character and it, causing steady lightning damage to monsters over 8 seconds.
Catalyst is more of a framework, but Infusion and Arcana are something which really make it work.
Effect: Your Catalyst now deals poison or poison damage.
Enemies damaged by Catalyst will be poisoned over 4 seconds (up from 150% to 320%). This effect applies to each enemy every 3 seconds. Your poison damage bonus is equal to your highest damage type bonus, and it negates lifesteal effects on monsters at level 5 of Catalyst (up from 5 seconds to 8 seconds).
Corrosive Vapor allows Catalyst to deal poison damage, which works well with Druid’s passive skills.
Shifting Powder
Bloody Charm
Fractured Core
Shifting Powder allows you to move faster, and Bloody Charm skill can execute low-health enemies, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the speed of farming.
Fractured Core is almost mandatory in the endgame, but you can also replace it with Sapping Crux when you are in the main story.
These are Diablo 4 items required for the skills of Earth Spike Druid leveling build. The requirements are very low, but the farming efficiency is very high. After you reach the endgame, you can easily convert it to a higher damage endgame build with little loss.
The next DLC for Diablo 4 will not be officially announced until 2026, but players are clearly impatient to wait. New endgame content, new dungeons, new weapons, and the question that all players are concerned about, the new class.
The DLC will definitely have a new class, just like Vessel of Hatred brought Spiritborn, but Spiritborn feels a bit like a combination of Rogue and Druid to me. There has been a heated discussion in the player community about what class will appear in the next DLC.
As the founder of the series, Diablo I referred to many settings in DND in class design. The three classes represent strength, dexterity and intelligence, which became the design reference for many subsequent games.
Diablo II is the best in terms of player response and is the de facto pioneer of this type of game, a true masterpiece. Players can play 7 classes in Diablo 2, and each class has its own characteristics.
Diablo III’s classes have changed a lot from the previous game. The only classes that remain are Barbarian and Necromancer, but in fact, the gameplay of Wizard and Sorceress is not much different, and Players like Crusader and Witch Doctor.
Diablo III grows faster than Diablo IV. It takes a long time to get the best Diablo 4 items in Diablo 4, but in Diablo III, you may become very strong in just three hours.
Diablo IV’s class design is relatively conservative, closer to Diablo 2. Spiritborn is a more interesting class, but its functions overlap with Druid and Rogue. But most players can still accept such a class that can use poison.
Diablo Immortal is a mobile game, so it may not be appropriate to put it here, and some players are even reluctant to admit that it is part of Diablo series. But Diablo Immortal has more playable classes, and Blood Knight and Tempest are new classes, and maybe Diablo 4 will learn from them.
These three classes are the ones that players want to play the most, and Paladin may be more popular. Paladin appeared in Diablo 2. He is a power class that can defend, provide buffs to the team, and serve as a support for the team, which is almost all the current classes lack (Crusader and Paladin are very similar).
There are shields in Diablo 4, but almost most classes will not use this Diablo 4 item, so Diablo 4 needs a real class that uses shields.
Warrior is also one of the most popular classes. His positioning is similar to Paladin. He can use swords, shields and light spells.
Finally, there is Monk, who is fast and agile, can use spells of various elements, and can move quickly on the battlefield. He is a very refreshing class to play (some players say that Spiritborn is a Monk that uses poison and thorns, which does make some sense).
On the other hand, players want to play a knight-type class, Paladin, Crusader or even Blood Knight.
For developers, if the new class of the 2026 DLC is Paladin, it is too similar to Diablo 2, and they claim that they will bring a brand new class, so they are likely to create a new class, just like Spiritborn.
Since there is a great lack of classes like warriors, the next class is likely to be based on warriors and paladins to create a real tank class. If the developers listen to the players’ ideas, this class may also use sacred-related spells.
The best possibility is that they may launch more than one class and let some classic classes return, which is not impossible, because the developers of Diablo 4 announced that they have a 10-year update plan, so 7 classes may not be the end of Diablo 4.
The speculation about the new class of Diablo 4 is very exciting, but in terms of the work efficiency of the developers of Diablo 4, just adjusting the value of Diablo 4 items, designing 6 new unique items, and new unique powers for each season is enough to exhaust them in one season. At least two or three seasons are needed before players can wait for the actual news of the new class, so please be patient.
Diablo IV Season 9 will come soon, and PTR is over. Many builds have shown their damage and are expected to become the new season’s Meta builds. Among them, Whirlwind Barbarian Build is likely to be the top of the Tier S lineup in Season 9.
What really stands out is not how fast it can clear the dungeon, but how fast it can kill the final boss. The Pit Guardian didn’t even have time to refresh before it was instantly killed by a burst of damage. With very high damage, it could successfully pass Level 150 The Pit.
Pros
Cons
Because of the changes to Overpower mechanic, some builds were affected in Season 1. But Barbarian’s own exaggerated damage-dealing ability, as well as the fun gameplay of using Call of the Ancients as a summoning build, makes it still one of the best classes.
Collecting such a set of equipment is undoubtedly a challenge. It contains two Mythic Unqiue Items. To farm a Mythic unique item, you may have to farm hundreds of times in a dungeon. If you collect 4 Resplendent Sparks, I suggest you use it and Diablo 4 gold to make Ring of Starless Skies first. And this build requires the lucky hit chance provided by Mythic unique items to trigger the effect of Fists of Fate.
Wrath of the Berserker (rank 1): Goes into a berserk state and knocks back nearby enemies, becoming unstoppable.
Modifiers:
Challenging Shout (rank 5): Taunts nearby enemies and gains a large amount of damage reduction.
Modifiers:
Rallying Cry (rank 5): Increases movement speed and resource survival rate.
Modifiers:
War Cry (rank 1): Roars and increasing damage dealt to Barbarian and nearby allies.
Modifiers:
Flay (rank 1): Causes the enemy to bleed after dealing damage to it.
Modifiers:
Whirlwind (rank 5): Rapidly spins and attacks surrounding enemies, dealing massive damage.
Modifiers:
Although Whirlwind Barbarian Build is often paired with Call of the Ancients, this build is for ultimate damage, so Wrath of the Berserker is its ultimate skill, and Flay is fused to further increase its damage.
As for the new unique boots in Season 9, Hooves of the Mountain God does not work well with this build, and is not highly recommended.

The idea of choosing this Horadric Spells is basically to reduce the monster’s defense to increase damage. Flay can make the enemy enter a bleeding state, so you can pair it with Siphoning Gizmo. If you prefer to use Whirlwind, replace it with Sapping Crux.
Compared with Flay Bleed Barbarian build, Celestial Surge gathers monsters together, and with the effect of Bloody Charm, you can trigger Celestial Surge almost infinitely. Therefore, Whirlwind Barbarian Build is very fast in farming Diablo 4 gold.
The gameplay of Whirlwind Barbarian Build is very simple. You basically just need to turn it up, then release the ultimate skill to increase the damage, and finally use the effects of Flay and Horadric Spells to instantly deal hundreds of billions of damage.
As long as you try it a little, you can understand why it can successfully pass 150 The Pit. Few builds can do this. Season 9 will be officially launched in early July. Maybe the developers will weaken this gameplay, so whether it is the strongest or not will have to wait until season 9 is officially launched.
