New Legendary Aspects Revealed in Diablo 4 Season 3 - Patch 1.3.0
Season 3 of Diablo 4 has arrived, bringing with it the highly anticipated Patch 1.3.0 update. This update introduces 7 new Legendary Aspects, which are powerful abilities that can greatly impact your gameplay. Among these new Aspects, there are 2 available to all Classes and 5 class-specific Aspects, one for each class. Let's take a closer look at what these new Aspects bring to the table!
New Legendary Aspects
Aspect of Adaptability (Utility) - This Aspect provides a unique utility function. When cast below 50% Maximum Resource, Basic Skills now generate 3 of your Primary Resource, once per cast. On the other hand, when cast at or above 50% Maximum Resource, Basic Skills will deal increased damage of 40-80%.
Juggernaut's Aspect (Defensive) - This Aspect focuses on defense by granting you an additional 0.75-1.25 Armor. However, it also increases the cooldown of your Evade ability by 100%. This trade-off can greatly enhance your survivability in tough battles.
Class-Specific Aspects
Barbarian
Aspect of Sundered Ground (Offensive) - As a Barbarian, you can now enjoy the benefits of this offensive Aspect. Every 25 seconds, your Upheaval ability is guaranteed to Overpower and deals increased damage of 10-20%. This timer is reduced by 4 seconds each time Upheaval Overpowers a Boss or an Elite enemy, providing you with a consistent damage boost.
Druid
Virulent Aspect (Utility) - For Druids, the Virulent Aspect offers a unique utility boost. Whenever your Rabies ability infects an enemy, its cooldown is reduced by 0.3-0.6 seconds. Notably, this cooldown reduction is tripled when infecting Elites, allowing you to maintain consistent control over the battlefield.
Necromancer
Shattered Spirit's Aspect (Offensive) - As a Necromancer, the Shattered Spirit's Aspect empowers your Bone Spirit ability. Upon casting Bone Spirit, it will also launch 18 Bone Splinters in all directions, dealing increased damage of 200-400% and generating 6 Essence per enemy hit. This Aspect can significantly enhance your damage output and resource generation.
Rogue
Resistant Assailant's Aspect (Defensive) - The Resistant Assailant's Aspect provides a defensive advantage for Rogues. Breaking Concealment grants you +10% Resistance and Maximum Resist to all elements for 4 seconds, giving you increased survivability in combat. Additionally, killing an Elite enemy reduces Concealment's cooldown by 6-10 seconds, allowing you to make strategic use of this powerful ability.
Sorcerer
Aspect of Shredding Blades (Offensive) - Sorcerers can now harness the power of the Aspect of Shredding Blades. This Aspect increases Ice Blades' chance to apply Vulnerable by 20% and extends the duration of Vulnerable by 4 seconds. Additionally, you gain 15-25% bonus damage against Vulnerable enemies. This Aspect can greatly amplify your damage output against vulnerable targets.
These new Legendary Aspects bring exciting possibilities to each class in Diablo 4 Season 3. Whether you're looking for utility, defense, or offense, there's an Aspect that can enhance your build and playstyle. Experiment with different combinations and find the Aspect that suits you best.
