Discover how Diablo 4 players have uncovered an infinite damage build that causes server lag, and explore the fan concerns regarding the pricing of the Berserk collaboration.
Diablo 4 Latest Updates
Infinite Damage Build Boss Powers Makes Servers Lag
The latest season in Diablo 4 introduces new seasonal boss powers that, when combined correctly, can create an infinite damage build, leading to server slowdowns. A video by YouTuber Macrobioboi, released on May 9, demonstrates this powerful setup that can clear a room of enemies using specific boss powers and a Legendary Aspect.
To execute this build, players must equip the Vampiric Curse Legendary Aspect, which applies a Vulnerable status to enemies, boosting damage and causing the Vulnerable effect to last until the enemy's demise.
The Flesh Reaper's Disruption boss power typically stuns enemies and removes the Vulnerable status, but due to Vampiric Curse, the stun repeats without interruption. Completing the build is Varshan's Life Steal, which inflicts significant damage whenever a boss power is activated.
The combination of these elements results in numerous calculations that cause server lag. As seen in wudijo's YouTube video, the screen is overwhelmed with skills and abilities, leaving enemies perpetually stunned. Wudijo noted, "There are a lot of calculations going on, it's very understandable that this is a laggy build."
Blizzard Entertainment has yet to address this resource-intensive build, allowing players to continue exploiting it, albeit at the cost of increased server lag.
Worrying Prices with Berserk Collab
Diablo 4's collaboration with the iconic manga Berserk introduces a range of cosmetics and items inspired by the series. However, the high cost of these sets has raised concerns among fans.
Players can earn Behelits through gameplay and use them to unlock free cosmetics from the Berserk Reliquary, including:
- Hawk's Destiny Back Trophy
- Skull Knight’s Heraldry Mount Armor
- Brand of Sacrifice Marking
- Foretold Eclipse Headstone
- Od of the Berserker Emblem
The premium sets, which require Diablo 4's premium currency, Platinum, feature iconic armors and other items from Berserk:
- The Berserker Armor, Barbarian - 2,800 Platinum
- The Hawk of Light, Rogue - 2,800 Platinum
- The Struggler, Rogue - 2,800 Platinum
- The Skull Knight, Necromancer - 2,800 Platinum
- The Schnoz, Pet Bundle - 2,800 Platinum
- Warhorse of the Hawk, Mount and Mount Armor - 2,500 Platinum
Each premium skin costs around $28, which is nearly half the price of the base game. To purchase all items, players would need to spend approximately $150, which equates to a 15,000 Platinum bundle with an additional 3,500 Platinum.
While the pricing aligns with Diablo 4's previous collaboration with World of Warcraft, it suggests that future crossovers with other IPs may also come with steep costs, prompting fans to reconsider their purchases despite the high-quality items on offer.
Diablo IV is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay updated with the latest game information by checking out our article below!
