Diablo 4 provides the player with multiple Aspects which can be found by completing dungeons. These Aspects are just as useful as any other piece of equipment as they can help further improve the build that the player is using, rewarding the player with similar effects that can be found on legendary or unique armor and weapons.
These Aspects vary in their usefulness, with some improving the development of resources of the player while others increasing the Offensive skills damage a class does. Other than this, players can also find Aspects that can better their Utility. These are by far the best of the few Utility Aspects available across Sanctuary in Diablo 4.
8 Aspect Of Explosive Verve – Rogue
With the Aspect of Explosive Verve equipped all of the Rogue's grenades are transformed as being part of the Trap skill. This at first means that any passives selected that affect Trap Skills will now be applied to any grenade the player uses.
However, this Aspect also comes with another positive that rewards players with a ten percent buff to their movement speed for three seconds every time a grenade or trap is used. Players can locate this Aspect by completing the Derelict Lodge in the Fractured Peaks that can be found early in Diablo 4.
7 Eluding Aspect – All
Unlike other Aspects, the Eluding Aspect isn't locked to a certain class and can instead be used by any player if they have a space for it on their armor. Players are likely to find themselves under the effects of Crowd Controlled abilities constantly while taking on hordes of enemies in Diablo 4.
Thankfully, with Eluding Aspect, the player is made unstoppable for four seconds if they become injured while under the effects of Crowd Control. While there is a forty-second cooldown after its use, this Aspect could be the difference between life and death and can be found after completing the Caldera Gate in the Fractured Peaks.
6 Aspect Of Anemia – Barbarian
Back to Aspects that benefit certain classes, the Aspect of Anemia is one of many that will greatly benefit a Barbarian's playthrough. After a player achieves a Lucky Hit on a bleeding foe, this direct damage has up to a twenty percent chance of stunning the enemy for two seconds.
Although this may seem like a short amount of time, these two seconds of stunning a foe will allow a player to hit their target for more damage. This, combined with other abilities that stun the player's opponents, can make for a great Barbarian build. The Aspect of Anemia is another that can be found early in Diablo 4 as it's located in the Kor Dragon Barracks.
5 Tortuous Aspect – Necromancer
Curses are one of the many skills players have at their disposal when using the Necromancer class. The Iron Maiden curse is benefited greatly by the Tortuous Aspect as it adds even more to the already overpowered Curse Skill.
Opponents that are affected by Iron Maiden have a fifteen percent chance of being stunned for a second when they deal direct damage to either the player, their undead companions, or their allies. Unfortunately, players will have to hold on until much later in Diablo 4 to earn this Aspect as it's received after completing the Deserted Underpass in Kehjistan.
4 Relentless Berserker's Aspect – Barbarian
Another great Barbarian Utility Aspect that players are likely to want to use when exploring Sanctuary is the Relentless Berserker's Aspect. With this equipped, players that damage an enemy with a Core Skill have up to a twenty-two percent chance to extend the duration of Berserking by one second, and two seconds if it's a critical strike.
Berserking is a large part of what it means to be a Barbarian as this is where the vast majority of its damage comes from. That said, this is another late-game Diablo 4 Aspect and can be found in Kehjistan after completing Hakan's Refuge.
3 Aspect Of Singed Extremities – Sorcerer
Sorcerers are without a doubt the glass cannons of the game, and this means the mages are often left open to various attacks if they aren't careful. Thankfully, many of the Sorcerer's skills allow them to stun or slow their opponent to keep them far away.
By using the Aspect of Singed Extremities, the Sorcerer slows an opponent for twenty-five percent of their movement for four seconds after Immobilize wears off, meaning they are likely to steer clear of the enemies attacking them. Players can find this Aspect in the Earthen Wound in Hawezar.
2 Aspect Of Shared Misery – All
The Aspect of Shared Misery is another great Utility Aspect in Diablo 4 that can also be shared with every class. With this buff equipped, when the player hits a Crowd Controlled enemy, they have up to a thirty percent chance of spreading that Crowd Control Effect to another enemy.
This Aspect is great for large groups of enemies and players that are focusing on builds that manage hordes. With such a high chance of spreading this effect, players are sure to see the difference in combat. Unfortunately, this is another end-game Aspect, with players earning it in the region of Hawezar by completing the Oblivion dungeon.
1 Ballistic Aspect – Druid
Out of all the available Utility Aspects, the Ballistic Aspect is by far one of the greatest Aspects that players should be using if they have chosen the Druid class. If their character has the Fortify effect, then every Earth Skill used by the player is increased by Two Ranks.
While this may at first not sound like much, it greatly benefits any player focusing on an Earth build, as the damage or percentage chance of all the Earth Skills would've increased without needing to invest perk points into them. Ballistic Aspect can be found early into Scosglen through the Whispering Pines dungeon.
Diablo 4 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
