The Diablo 4 Server Slam is imminent, and enthusiasts are eagerly looking forward to playing the RPG game ahead of the Diablo 4 release date, but there is an additional exciting offer of earning a unique Cry of Ashava mount trophy, which requires hitting level 20 and defeating Ashava before the trial period ends. It’s therefore essential to select your preferred loadout prior to the next Diablo 4 public test.
It’s important to note that fighting Diablo 4 world boss Ashava is particularly challenging this time, as unlike the previous beta tests where you could reach level 25, this time, you can only reach level 20. Additionally, since you’ll be facing Ashava alone, the loadouts that benefit from killing mobs or hitting multiple targets at once may not be the best. Here, we offer some suggestions by top Diablo 4 player Ryan ‘Raxxanterax’ designed to work without any reliance on specific legendary powers, as Blizzard is removing the sped-up drop rate from the previous betas to give a better impression of how quickly you’ll get gear in the final game.
For the Barbarian, Raxx suggests picking Flay as the generator ability, as it makes Ashava Vulnerable. Upheaval (Furious) is excellent for damage multipliers and better than Rend (Violent) with its Vulnerability synergy. Leap with its Power specialisation offers mobility, and Rallying Cry, Challenging Shout, and War Cry are vital for their incredible power and benefits to all party members. Passives Booming Voice, and Raid Leader can help heal you and your allies.
For the Druid, Raxx recommends Landslide (Primal) for its ability to consume Terramotes, auto-generated when fighting bosses, for guaranteed Critical Strikes with bonus damage multipliers. Vine Creeper (Ferocious) helps apply poison to trigger Envenom, which causes Ashava to be hit much harder by Critical strikes. Storm Strike can apply the Vulnerable status, while Earthen Bulwark acts as a panic button. Cyclone Armor gives a defensive shield against ashava’s poison attacks, and Trample provides an excellent ability for mobility.
The Necromancer build suggested by Raxx involves going summon-free, which may seam strange but is an attempt to deal with the weakness of minions against bosses. The strategy is to pump five points into both Bone Splinters (choosing Acolyte’s for the Crit Strike) and Bone Spear (with Supernatural for the Vulnerable debuff). Self-sacrifice summoning minions for the 15% resistance to non-physical damage and 15% increased damage to Vulnerable enemies from the Book of the Dead is a smart move. Blood Mist can keep you out of trouble, and Decrepify curse will make Ashava deal less damage to everyone.
For the Rogue, Raxx recommends Twisting Blades. Puncture is the generator of choice and applies the Vulnerable status. The Poison Imbuement is the best single-target option. Shadow Step and Dash offer excellent mobility tools, and Dark Shroud (Countering) provides bonus survivability and Critical Strike chance.
The best Sorcerer build is very similar to the last time around, using Hydras, preferably with the Summoned specialisation, and the legendary power for them. Arc Lash is the better generator for leveling, and Frost Bolt is suitable for single-target fights, like Ashava. Teleport is useful for mobility, Ice Armor gives defence and mana regen, and Frost Nova (Mystical) allows you to apply a massive Vulnerability window. Lastly, enchant either the Hydra or Frost Nova, and drop a point into Align the Elements for up to a huge 50% damage reduction.
In conclusion, get the best loadout that suits your preferred Diablo 4 class, and take on Ashava to get the unique Cry of Ashava mount trophy. Then, why not visit the Diablo 4 cathedral in France, which has opened its doors until mid-June for free entry to celebrate Blizzard’s new game. Make sure your PC meets the Diablo 4 system requirements and take a look at how Diablo 4 Steam Deck compatibility is shaping up for loot-grabbing on the go. We wish you the best of luck!
