Diablo 4 Season 2 Compendium – Season Launch Updates & New Guides

Diablo 4 Season 2 is almost here and the Maxroll team is excited to release our absolutely massive Season 2 Compendium. It has a ton of Leveling and End Game Build updates containing the new Uniques and Legendary Aspects along with the new Vampiric Powers. We'll be rapidly testing and learning a lot about the state of many classes alongside everyone else, and have a lot of updates planned throughout the Season.

All of our Tier Lists except our Nightmare Dungeon Tier List have been updated. The Nightmare Dungeon Tier List will be updated once our team has run them, with the new changes coming to some of them. Measure twice and cut once, right? You can use our search bar to find any Aspect, Unique, Side Quests, Dungeon or other Resource. So many things to talk about! Let's dive in and see everything on offer for Season 2!

Tier Lists

Can't decide which class to play? Tier Lists are a great way to see how different builds and classes stack up against each other in various parts of the game. For Season 2 and moving forward, we have retired the Nightmare Dungeon Pushing Tier list. We decided on this due to the lowering of difficulty of Nightmare Dungeons in general on top of Crowd Control updates and Affliction changes. The Endgame Build Tier List should aid you in finding a good build now for all activities, including Nightmare Dungeons.

• Leveling
• Endgame
• Speedfarming
• Unique Items
• Nightmare Dungeon XP & Glyph **

** Updates to come soon after season start.

Season Guides

With the new Season comes new Season specific guides. Many of these will be expanded on once the Season goes live, and we can see the full Battle Pass and Journey, etc. The Season brings with it a whole new set of Nightmare Dungeons, 22 Vampiric Powers, new Unique Items and Legendary Aspects.

A quick last note on Legendary Aspects! We have consolidated all Aspects (regardless of source) into ONE guide and properly show each one, source, and where to get it from! This was a massive update and should make finding them a lot easier!

• Battle Pass
• New Legendary Aspects
• New Nightmare Dungeons
• New Unique Items
• Nightmare Dungeon Rotation
• Patch Notes
• Season of Blood Guide
• Season Journey
• Seasons History

New Bosses

5 New endgame Bosses have been added to the game. They will be available to players on both Eternal and Seasonal Realms from the beginning of Season 2. Once we have a few goes at each one, our team will write guides to help you make short work of them to get those Uniques or even Uber Uniques!

• Loot Table Cheat Sheet
• Individual Boss Guides **

** Will go live soon^(TM) after season start.

Watch Us Live!

With the new season, a lot of excitement is waiting for us. Many of our Diablo Team members will be streaming close or at season start. Below you will find links to their stream, so you can watch and learn along with them.

Future Plans

We hope you enjoy The Season of Blood with the aid of our Season 2 compendium updates. Our focus for the start of Season 2 is to get all our current Build Guides updated with the new 22 Vampiric Powers while we navigate new builds which reveal themselves. We're continuing to work on more updates for D4Planner! More news coming this week, stay tuned!

If you haven't already, head over to our Discord and select the D4 role in #roles to stay up to date with our content development. Lord Zir, here we come!
