I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
Diablo 4’s big announcement this BlizzCon was a new Vessel of Hatred expansion, but in the more immediate future, the game is about toThese aren’t just any legendaries, however, this is drawing on something the Diablo 4 team said a while ago, that specialized seasonal powers may end up permanently added to the game if they’re fun and balanced enough. Now, that’s what’s happened, as Season 1’s Malignant Hearts are returning in the form of Malignant Rings.
While Malignant Hearts brought loads of different powers to the game, this is sort of a curated, refined version of some of the class favorites. So that has left us with:– Casting a Subterfuge Skill leaves behind a Decoy Trap that continuously Taunts and lures enemies. The Decoy Trap explodes after 3 seconds dealing Shadow damage. Can occur every 12 seconds.– For each type of Elemental damage you deal, gain increased damage for four seconds. Dealing Elemental damage refreshes all bonuses.
So most of these are uh, extremely good. Many of them were some of the most-used powers last season. I only played Necromancer then, but the automatic deployment of Corpse skills without needing to do anything was a godsend, and this would be a must-use for me. You will be farming these from new endgame boss Varshan the Consumed, the one you fight at the Tree of Whispers. And they are not seasonal, they will be in any eternal or seasonal realm going forward. No we can guess that perhaps a few of the Vampiric powers may end up in the gameseason, as they really seem like they’re meant to be a testing ground for new unique rewards. Get ready to farm after the patch on Tuesday.
