For example, specific Aspects will increase the damage or even the rank of a specific skill while others will generate unique effects for each of the respective character classes. Aspects are attributes applied to Legendary items that can grant passive abilities in a way that can change the way you play the game. This is where the meat of some of Diablo 4’s core systems lie.

Now that this element is no longer entirely random, players can immediately work on crunching those numbers and working towards their endgame build of choice. Players can stack these stats through multiple gems put into multiple pieces of gear, which result in min-maxing stats for true endgame builds. Those unfamiliar with the Diablo series may be wondering why this is such a huge quality-of-life improvement, but gems allow players to add a specific increased stat to an item based on the gem they are socketing in.

Instead, with the right amount of gold and materials, the Occultist can add sockets to your weapons, armor, and accessories.īefore, players would need to re-roll one of the stats on an item for a chance at obtaining another gem socket. No longer do players need to rely on RNG to add sockets to their Rare or Legendary items.
