Battle Trance and Frenzy are there for the Lucky Hit proc that gives you stacks of Frenzy even without using it.

Masterworking (MW) enhances an item's stats. Each MW rank boosts all affixes by 1%, up to 25 ranks. Fully Masterworking an item now gives a 50% upgrade to a random affix, which can be a Tempering Affix. The boosted affix will be colored differently to highlight it.

Use the Masterworking menu at the Blacksmith. You can reset the final Masterwork, so feel free to reroll it until you hit one of the recommended stats for the extra 50% bonus.

This Paragon is getting right to strong point for the T1-T4, but you can swap to the EndGame board once you have more than 110 paragon points.

Level all your Endgame Glyphs to 15 first, one by one.
Then take each Glyph to 46, also one by one.
Once all of them are 46, you can level them evenly to 100, the order doesn’t really matter at that point. Make sure to unlock all the Legendary Nodes first.

How it Works

Frequently Asked Questions

Progressing from T1 to T4

There’s only one variant for progressing from T1 to T4 because in Diablo 4 you can get all the best gear even in T1. You can usually speed-farm T4 with basic Ancestral gear, even if you only have one Greater Affix.
Most of your damage actually comes from Paragon Points, unlocking the Legendary Nodes gives a huge power spike.

The first thing you want to do is get the requirements to start the build. At this point, you’re probably still using your 1-60 leveling setup.
Farm some boss materials and kill T1 bosses to get the required Unique, then switch to the build.
Once you have everything needed to get started, it’s time to farm Paragon XP.
Paragon farming is very efficient at this stage, unlocking Legendary Nodes gives a huge power spike, with each one providing roughly 50–60% increased damage.
A good way to farm XP is by running Helltides to collect boss materials. Then, kill Tormented Bosses on a difficulty you can clear comfortably. This gives a large amount of XP and rewards you with more materials.
You can use these materials to open chests at Asmodan, located in the bottom-right of Zarbinzet.
These chests can drop a lot of boss materials again or Nightmare Sigils to target-farm what you need. Treasure Breach affixes and Prankster are the best options. Strongrooms also give Obducite for Masterworking.
You can also Temper and Masterwork if you need extra boost. At this stage, don’t worry about perfect rolls — just focus on steady progression. Put aside Sanctification until you're really satisfied with the state of your item, especialy legendaries.
Finally, start comparing your gear to the final build setup or an endgame version. This will help you identify which Greater Affixes (GAs) you should aim for as you continue optimizing.
