Season 5 brought significant changes, particularly to Blightshade, but with the right adjustments, this version can still take down bosses.

In order to save your time and avoid wasting too much effort to experience new content, you can buy Diablo 4 Gold and Diablo IV Items on MMOexp with competitive prices, instant delivery, professional services and security guarantee.

Key Changes and Adjustments

Blighted Aspect Nerf

The Blighted Aspect's damage multiplier has been drastically reduced from 240% to a maximum of 100% on a two-handed weapon. This change significantly impacts the damage output, but we can compensate with other elements.

New Gameplay Loop

1. Essence Management: With the Aspect of the Great Feast, your essence is drained to boost your minions' damage by 45%. This means essence is no longer a critical resource for your gameplay.

2. Automatic Curses: Our boots now automatically cast Decrepify and Iron Maiden, freeing up a slot on your skill bar. This allows us to reintroduce Blighted Corpse Explosion for additional damage and Lucky Hit procs.

3. Shadow Damage Aura: Minions now have a Shadow Damage aura, thanks to the Shade Mist aspect, continuously dealing damage and stacking the Shadow Blight key passive.
