Nexus Play GuidesSep 1, 2026 3 min readDiablo IV hub

Objective

Masterworking order, tempering, armor/resistance caps and boss summon efficiency.

5 steps · 3 min read

  1. 1

    Cap defenses first: armor and resistances matter more as you push higher Torment tiers. If you're one-shot, fix defense before damage.

  2. 2

    Temper your gear toward your build's core skill and one defensive affix. Re-roll tempers rather than replacing a good base item.

  3. 3

    Masterwork in the Pit: farm Obducite and Ingolith from Pit runs. Aim crits (every fourth rank) at your highest-value affix.

  4. 4

    Glyphs level in the Pit too

    Run a level you can clear quickly to level glyphs, not your maximum.

  5. 5

    Boss summons: every player now pays their own summon materials to open their own reward chest, so grouping no longer gives free loot — it just makes kills faster. Friends can drop you spare materials. You can also fight Lair Bosses on Torment I+ to test your build before spending materials.
