Diablo IV | The Abattoir of Zir and Malignant Rings Explained

[@pfzt]

I'm happy for Bludd and that he has a great new job but i miss him as a streamer, always chill and many great guides that helped me a lot in Diablo 3.

[@havardberger5735]

Does he work at Blizzard now ?

[@pfzt]

@@havardberger5735 Yes. He mentioned that he worked in the business before but quit when he went streaming full-time. He must have degrees and experience, because corporations like Blizzard don't hire you for main staff just because you stream a little.

[@peterretep1010]

he look kinda different lol. Missing the hat probably lol?

[@Madmatt79]

I rewound as soon as he said we might know him as Bluddshed. I thought "Wait...i remember this dude. Used his guides all the time". Totally miss this guy. Had no clue he went to work for Blizzard. Good for him!

[@user-cg7kb7zp9s]

hello. I am form china. Can you tell me the URL where you buy an sell equipment? Thank you so much

[@undeadamerican1107]

It’s good to see Bluddshed again!

[@mach2922]

I want the blood harvest zones post season. Have them come up a few times a day and when you are in them, gain the effect of a random vampiric power.

[@mantyxxx]

I would even want all the system permanent like it is now, so blod harvest + vampire powers to chose/level. Imho its good design.

[@Nornagest84]

I second that. Blood Harvest is really fun. If it doesn't make it into the base game, changes to Helltide could accomplish something similar. (more density, persistent reward drops, always active just changing zones) And I hope Blood Seekers and the random dungeon encounters will stay.

[@kylekilgore291]

No

[@Nothingnesslol]

This had more info than the one hour blizzcon’s campfire

[@pimientosasados]

lol

[@GageWins]

Bludd is back, missed you man, so cool to see you sharing this info on the offical Diablo page!

[@tylicius4329]

I was wondering where bludshed went! Good info - thanks!!

[@ryanchilton2279]

I'm so happy you did these great discussions, im now going to play every season you guys throw at us

[@quakerninja]

It's so nice to see Bludd. Happy holidays sir.

[@Ninjerky]

Bludd Rad Man! Stoked to see you thriving!

[@BearyCoolDude]

This is awesome and I want more random announcements and upgrades like this. Surprises are so nice. Also...here I am, thinking my vocabulary is pretty good, going "Why the frickin' heck are they saying "Avatar" so weird!?" Always learning more.

[@aszmodayopporeno5197]

My friend, they are saying Abattoir not Avatar :)

[@quickieguides8895]

ah so that's where bluddshed went lol, congrats on the new job dude. missed your streams

[@ilovemf]

ngl, that looks very promising , i'm always down for some end game content & that new glyph is insane... Can't wait ! gj

[@UpInYourGrills]

I've always had high faith in this game! Can't wait to see what else you guys have in store for this title ❤

[@VengeanceFalls]

For real I like the direction and idc about the negativity. They seem to actually care about the players so far.

[@motherpigeon1582]

@@VengeanceFalls Exactly and finding the reason to complain for the sake of complaining is always easy.

[@GangstaBabcia]

Fix legendary items tooltip flickering already. And menu freezings for 20 sec.

[@krbycjrdo2074]

Is the nightmare dungeon 100 ever going to drop ubber uniques or do we have to keep farming duriel instead? just curious.

[@coJestMustangi]

Will raise skeleton in the new ring stop auto casting when the skeleton cap is reached, or still cast and auto spawn the skeletal priest?

[@dreamscapepilgrim]

Great to see you Bludd!

[@keithwilson4082]

Bluddshed..... it is sooo good seeing you again and congratulations on working on this game . I think the Zir event looks great .

[@Macho_Fantastico]

More features like this please, ths genuinely sounds awesome even if it is just Greater Rifts, but I loved Greater Rifts.

[@gratefulkm]

The potential 4 player synergy , is so exciting But we shall see

[@Atigeve]

OMG its Bludd!!!!! Miss him as a streamer but glad he is happy here too! Season of Blood no one better to talk here then the Bludd god himself :)

[@inpusket]

I really like the d4 team,despite the flaws they are actually going at it pretty hard to add stuff to make the game more fun.

[@klikster501]

Well done video!

[@FlorinLatcu]

So when I target farm the malignant hearts, will it drop for every class or only for the class I am playing?

[@Hvorgandr]

As a necromancer, I am happy of seeing automatic corpse skill casts like Skeltal, tendril (even though it is kinda slow), and explosion. This will put Sever build back on top for good. Even Infinimist, making it the best build ever. However, Shadow Summoner does not need that ring because of Mendeln ane Xfal are quite the best right now. Besides, you have to use Corpse Explosion alot. But instead of Mendeln, Sacrelegious is the best!

[@Kylamiis]

Hey Bludd can you get Leviathan also appear in videos?

[@xGR1MxREAPERx]

So when is this December update actually going live? December 1st or 15th or 29th? No date is said

[@danielj436]

Nice to see you again Bluddshed. Been too long :)

[@DozenMarks]

So the Unique Glyph is only obtainable in the Season and will also go away at the end of the Season, similar to Vampire Powers and Blood Pacts? If there's an alternate way to acquire it in Eternal (either at release or in the future) that would be cool. Unique Glyphs could be a great idea to expand the game with over time.

[@Symolian88]

Kind of wish the Rogue ring was The Vile Apothecary. The Trickery wasn't one I would use.

[@jogo499]

I can’t wait to try the Druid malignant heart power!!

[@raistlinmajere3194]

Whoa! I didn't know Bludshedd is now a Blizzard employee. Congrats!

[@shadowthorngames]

Wooo Bluddshed! Miss you brother. Good to see your face

[@LambAndWolfGaming]

Pinnacle dungeon, sounds fun !

[@davenullneun7595]

Thx bludd! GRs are back

[@ilmstreams]

It's BLUDDSHED! What's up BLUDDBROTHER! Rock on man!

[@samj6307]

I wondered where he disappeared to

[@Havii]

Very cool! Excited for it

[@BEEFTEEF4]

Man this sounds awesome! My body is prepared. (Also so is my necromancer.)

[@stephuchiha1317]

It says core damage but can you put it for basic damage as well ? It would encourage for more builds

[@chrisMengland]

Its for core damage skill. So no it wouldn't work with basic, cause thats not your core skill 😂

[@damianreeves6013]

Bring back class armor and weapon sets

[@CityBelowtheSea]

So literally Greater Rifts then? Well, they were the best thing about D3.

[@mattywood5773]

The malignant sorc ring would synergize beautifuly with a 3rd enchantment slot... Maybe one day 🙏🤞

[@Ihavetopoop718]

Hey its Bludd!! I was wondering where you went.

[@marcelbrosius841]

Nice Stuff !!!🤩

[@fullnewsky]

That was awkward af 😂 but I appreciate the info !

[@holdmybeer4418]

So it's just 1 malignant ring per class at the moment?

[@wr4th1800]

Great idea to bring some of the malignant powers back

[@ShadyShin95]

Will the rings only be available in session or will they be in the eternal realm? Witch one I must know!!!

[@adammatthews3657]

You'll be able to get the rings on the Eternal realm

[@gratefulkm]

This Dungeon is amazing and to allow us all to get our builds ready for the go day , is brilliant Please keep that aspect , 3 months to get ready, then book 2 days off work and GO !!!!

[@jldevezas]

With this BlizzCon, I kinda feel Blizzard has a chance to rebuild itself! Diablo 4 is definitely improving! Glad I gave it a second chance.

[@Tconl]

Play it actively for some months more, then hibernate for next expansion.

[@gers4lifefollow725]

All sounds good guys ! Just sort out helltides please

[@DigitalTsukiko]

Cant wait to try to have to kill trade with someone to have to get the PvP part done just to try this :P (because no one does the PvP zone)

[@reddorkfish5607]

Awesome!

[@eposcorp]

So the Malignant Rings are added to Eternal Realm too??

[@EasytheGoon]

Is the new glyph leaving at the end of the season? If so whats the point?

[@iiangmariiomega2639]

Its an Event

[@EasytheGoon]

@@iiangmariiomega2639 cool a pointless event

[@GrumpyCoder]

WoW classic during that time, I'll come back to D4 later because I know they will deliver what the game needs.

[@danielsecara]

OMFG, it's Bludd from D3. I havent seen him in ages. Take care!

[@justinbytes]

Whoa love this

[@nqxybtw8268]

i like the new endgame at 5 th december but as a rogue i think its pretty dificult to do it with out a op build that just is a coppy of a guide, because for my build that i could play in this sesion i have 2 uniques in my armor slots so i have less tankness and so i can play hardly NM 60.

[@xVertigo101]

Ah, man, my motherboard asus strix x670e-a was so unstable I had to send it back. Waiting on a new motherboard before I can play this update.

[@Tconl]

And for non season players? Any plans for there? After season 2? Bit more info would be nice. Everything you need to know... seems not. And greater rifts with sortoff infinite scaling was one of the things that led to its downfall of itemisation. Better be handled better this time around.

[@benlarson6031]

Assuming these are just going to be items added into the pool post season just like the other ones

[@BryanThePirate]

The rings are for both realms. Everything else is for the season only.

[@Alleyezonjimz]

Just play seasons, you won't regret it!

[@Tconl]

@@Alleyezonjimz I'll regret it the moment I start a character cause I don't want too. ;p

What up, Bludd!!!

[@Kezzic]

Neat, however rebuttal: Paladin when?

[@karixonos2352]

but will that glyph disappear after season, or stay on a character?

[@benlarson6031]

I would assume it'll stay on the specific character but I guess I can't say that for sure, I feel like there's no reason for it not to

[@karixonos2352]

@@benlarson6031 abattoir of Zir is a s2 only event, so after season there would be no way of obtaining it, which could lead to casuals complaing that they can't get that insanely powerful glyph

[@benlarson6031]

@@karixonos2352 maybe it won't be exclusive to just s2 then, I could definitely see that happening

[@rafaelcavalcanterafael7687]

so greater rifts?

[@barial1]

so theres no rogue power?

[@emeraldknight347]

Rogue's have been left out since the game started.

[@Azguella]

It's good idea to keep some of the past season content in the game after they are gone no point in just throwing it all away

[@TingelTangelFle]

Very good. But why boosting builds on barbar that already are overpowered?

[@Dexxxterity]

Nice

[@zaelwell]

sigil powder to craft these portals? why not blood powder, have to farm blood for it?

[@jhhood86]

Greater Rifts confirmed!

[@kurtrussell9386]

New 5 unique rings only in season?!

[@chrisMengland]

I dont understand the druid ring. The wording makes it seem like u have to use your ultimate skill twice in 5 sec to proc the pull? Is that right lol?

[@Malacite]

Was honestly hoping the Barb ring would be Ignoring Pain. It was such an underrated power last season, but anyone who took the time knew it was strong.

[@WayneGace]

I feel like we have enough damage already. We need defensive stuff for protection.

[@Zoeila]

i hope barb never returns it was cancerous AF

[@eriktavares1210]

Rogue is my favorite class 👍👍

[@bandit2699]

49 times .... we fought that beast

[@archlorddestin]

So how is this different from D3's greater rifts?

[@benlarson6031]

It's not much different on paper but like nightmare dungeons are literally just greater rifts without the timer anyway, so I don't see what the big deal is

[@ML-po6vy]

Make Helltide always on, or just give me the steel.

im already 1shotting everything in d4 with my barb why i even need this new glyph?

Ty for the Necro Ring!! i will kill demons faster now!

[@catout00]

Season 2 has ended, and the designers are still designing new rings. Thank you for your hard work.

[@metallicafan416]

Season 2 has two more events. Put the pipe down

[@benlarson6031]

I think you meant season 1 season 2 isnt even halfway done yet lol

[@catout00]

Put down the ring, Hobbit, and don't expect anything.

[@reznovvazileski3193]

As a stormclaw druid I approve of this new ring. The pull is going to significantly improve my event and helltide experience by just tapping petrify to group everything since my AoE is kinda awful xD The best part is that it's got a sick roll for dmg to close enemies and also some lucky hit chance so the tradeoff is some life and crit chance for ult CDR and a massive chunk of willpower which is a trade I'm willing to take most of the time. Will have to test T90+ in practice but anything lower I can already do so we'll see. One fun idea for a seasonal item: Have an item that all classes can drop, but instead of having 1 guaranteed seasonal power and build specific stats, just give it generically good stats and the ability to roll from a list of old seasonal modifiers as its unique power. This way people farm the unique and it gives back a little of the deckard cain feeling where you can see the image of the unique being the right unique, but you gotta check the item to see if it rolled the mod that's going to change your season, or maybe a mod that better suits a build you kinda wanted to play for a while now but now you have a good reason to reroll and actually play it.

[@nikroth]

POG

[@Belgariad87]

"kill as many enemies as you can" some things never get old 😎 still desperately needs an end game mode with more deep randomization (some kind of roguelike mode or roguelike-like path map?)

[@BobMotster]

Season of Bludd

[@hakl4398]

Yes Greater Rifts in D4. Amazing. GRs are the best end game system in D3. Glad it's coming back to D4. But it's name Abbattoir of Zir is bad. You could have called it Greater Rifts as it's a popular name among Diablo fans.

[@FrostBeam009]

Idc what people have been saying you guys are absolutely slaying it! Now we just need an actual trading economy and do so all items drop for everyone like we had in D2 and we are set for the next 15 years! Sadly sorc, rogue and barb rings seem rather weak compared to druid and Necro.. But we will have to see.

[@Tim_593]

They changed tal rasha to be multiplicative in the middle of last season, so your damage is multiplied by that amount for every element. Its very strong. Barb would have been very strong last season, but crit isnt that great now. Maybe the damage increase is hidden multiplicative damage and people are going to oneshot Duriel four times at the same time, instead of just three. We dont talk about Rogue tho
