Diablo 4 players have uncovered an infinite damage build that's causing server lag, sparking discussions about its impact and the game's latest collaborations. Dive into the details of this powerful build and the community's concerns regarding the new Berserk collaboration.
Diablo 4 Latest Updates
Infinite Damage Build Boss Powers Makes Servers Lag
The latest season of Diablo 4 introduces new seasonal boss powers that, when combined correctly, can create an infinite damage build, significantly slowing down server performance. Content creator Macrobioboi demonstrated this potent build in a video released on May 9, showcasing how it can obliterate rooms full of enemies by leveraging specific boss powers and a Legendary Aspect.
To execute this build, players must equip the Vampiric Curse Legendary Aspect, which inflicts a Vulnerable status on enemies, boosting damage and making the Vulnerable effect last until the enemies die.
The Flesh Reaper's Disruption boss power is another key component, designed to stun enemies and remove the Vulnerable status. However, due to the Vampiric Curse's effect, the stun repeats endlessly. Completing the build is Varshan's Life Steal boss power, which inflicts substantial damage every time a boss power is activated.
This combination results in a barrage of calculations that overwhelms the servers, causing lag. As seen in wudijo’s YouTube video, the screen is inundated with numerous skills and abilities, leaving enemies perpetually stunned. He noted, "There are a lot of calculations going on, it's very understandable that this is a laggy build."
Blizzard Entertainment has yet to comment on this resource-intensive build, allowing players to continue exploiting it, albeit at the cost of increased game lag.
Worrying Prices with Berserk Collab
In other news, Diablo 4's collaboration with the iconic manga Berserk introduces a range of cosmetics and items inspired by the series. However, fans are expressing concerns over the high prices of these cosmetic sets.
Players can earn Behelits through gameplay and use them to unlock free cosmetics from the Berserk Reliquary, including:
- Hawks Destiny Back Trophy
- Skull Knight’s Heraldry Mount Armor
- Brand of Sacrifice Marking
- Foretold Eclipse Headstone
- Od of the Berserker Emblem
While these free rewards are appealing, the real allure of the collaboration lies in the premium sets, available for purchase with Diablo 4’s premium currency, Platinum. These sets feature iconic armors and 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 approximately $28, which is half the price of the base game. Purchasing all sets would set players back $150, or the equivalent of a 15,000 Platinum bundle with an additional 3,500 Platinum.
Although this pricing model aligns with Diablo 4's previous collaboration with World of Warcraft, it raises concerns about the cost of future collaborations with other IPs. Many fans are reconsidering their purchases, valuing the high-quality cosmetics but balking at the steep prices.
