What New Legendary Aspects Could Mean for Build Diversity
Hey folks,
Season 8 of D4 items is shaping up to be a big one, especially with the news that we're getting new Legendary Aspects along with Unique items. I think this could have a massive impact on the current meta.
Right now, a lot of builds tend to converge on the same "best" Aspects once you reach higher World Tiers. There are maybe two or three real choices per skill or playstyle. Adding new Legendary Aspects could shake things up by giving us meaningful alternatives. Imagine if they added an Aspect that let a defensive skill also deal damage, or an offensive cooldown that gave buffs when used. It could open up entirely new builds instead of just slightly improving existing ones.
Personally, I'd love to see more Aspects that reward riskier, high-skill gameplay. Like, an Aspect that grants insane crit bonuses if you can stay at low HP for a while, or something that buffs damage the longer you go without getting hit. Stuff like that makes gameplay a lot more exciting instead of just "click button, get buff."
Also curious if they’ll do anything to support hybrid builds — right now, pure elemental or pure melee builds tend to dominate. A few clever Aspects could make hybrid styles much more competitive.
Either way, it’s really good to see Blizzard investing in true build diversity instead of just raw power creep. Fingers crossed they keep this momentum going!
