Diablo 4 has done the unthinkable by exceeding player expectations. While Diablo fans had a lot to complain about with Diablo Immortal, they were left speechless with the latest installment in the franchise. Diablo 4 has many new features and game mechanics, like the Aspect of Binding Embers, which is limited to the Sorcerer class, but players are left guessing how it works.
The Aspect of Binding Embers can be quite effective with the right Sorcerer build; here is what players need to do to get it in Diablo 4.
How to Get the Aspect of Binding Embers in Diablo 4
Like most aspects in Diablo 4, the Aspect of Binding Embers cannot be unlocked by clearing a dungeon; it is a random drop. Also, players must ensure they have the Flame Shield skill unlocked.
To get the Aspect of Binding Embers in Diablo 4:
- Players must complete world events, clear dungeons, and defeat bosses to increase their chances of getting the legendary item.
- Players will need to trade Obols at the Purveyor of Curiosities. Any legendary item costs 40 Obols, including the Aspect of Binding Embers.
- Players can extract the Aspect of Binding Embers from Legendary items at the cost of destroying said item.
Players can only imprint once after extracting the Aspect of Binding Embers from a legendary item. The player must extract the aspect from another legendary item to get it again.
How to Use the Aspect of Binding Embers in Diablo 4
The Aspect of Binding Embers is best suited to the Sorcerer class, requiring the player to cast a Fire Shield. After casting a Fire Shield, players will benefit from mana reduction, thus allowing them to spam ranged attacks like Meteor and Fireball.
While players can move around after casting a Fire Shield with the Aspect of Binding Embers, enemies will become immobilized. Additionally, if players risk getting flanked, they can walk through the shield to avoid damage.
Why Get the Aspect of Binding in Diablo 4?
The Aspect of Binding Embers buffs the Flame Shield Pyromancy skill, allowing players to move freely while immobilizing enemies that attempt to do the same. With the Aspect of Binding Embers, players can turn the fight in their favor by repositioning the fight’s tempo. While the duration of the effect is random, players get enough time to retreat and heal to fight another day.
Diablo 4 is available on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
