00:00Hey, everyone. Today we're diving into the season of Infernal Chaos,

00:03which is set to shake things up here on September 23rd.

00:06For seasonal realms, we're introducing Chaos Armor, a brand new armor type,

00:10Chaos Perks, Chaos Rifts, and for all realms,

00:13we're adding in major updates to Infernal Hordes, new unique items, and more.

00:17I want to point out that I have a Rockstar co-host today with me,

00:20Adam Fletcher, who's the Director of Community for All Things Diablo.

00:24Hey, Wanderers. Let's talk about Chaos Armor.

00:27The new armor type is designed to shake up your builds.

00:29Chaos Armor can roll with current existing unique powers,

00:33but now across any armor slot, helm, chest, gloves, pants, or boots.

00:39The general Chaos Armor pool includes 10 unique powers usable by any class,

00:44like Godslayer Crown, Banish Lord's Talisman, or Fists of Fate.

00:48Let's take Fists of Fate for example.

00:50Instead of having that power on your gloves,

00:53you can now get that effect on your helm with Chaos Armor,

00:56opening up entirely new build possibilities.

00:58Let's say you get the Fists of Fate unique power on a Chaos helmet,

01:02and call it Face of Fate.

01:04I won't be the one to stop you.

01:06For drop rates specifically, Chaos Armor is rarer than normal uniques,

01:09but less rare than mythics.

01:11In addition, each class has their own 13 exclusive powers.

01:15For example, Barbarians could get Mantle of Mountain's Fury or Ugly Bastard Helm.

01:20You can wear a different Chaos Armor in every slot,

01:23by identical effects or powers won't stack.

01:25This encourages creativity and experimentation.

01:29Chaos Armor can drop anywhere,

01:31but the best farming spot will be inside Infernal Hordes when taking down Bartook.

01:35Who's that?

01:36Bartook is a new selectable boss within Tormented Infernal Hordes.

01:39It'll cost some Aether to summon him,

01:41but if you manage to defeat him, you'll be rewarded with some nice loot.

01:45Chaos Armor always drops at maximum item power

01:48and includes at least one guaranteed greater affix.

01:51Also, Chaos Armor isn't tradable.

01:53This should extend your item chase a bit without disrupting your build,

01:57since you can still use normal, unique items

01:59and gradually switch over to Chaos Variants as the season progresses.

02:02In addition to Bartook,

02:03you can expect lots of changes coming to Infernal Hordes

02:05with player choice in mind.

02:08Starting out immediately with Wave 1,

02:09you'll notice it doesn't start automatically anymore

02:11and it now begins after you pick your first Infernal Offering,

02:15which puts you a bit more in the driver's seat.

02:17We've done significant work on all the Infernal Offerings

02:19revealed between each wave.

02:21Our goal is to try to make the offerings

02:23feel like a valid choice and make it more fun to build into.

02:26While running these newly revamped Hordes,

02:28sometimes you encounter a Chaos Wave.

02:30These waves will have significantly increased difficulty

02:33for a reward far more Aether.

02:35These can be, well, chaotic.

02:37From hellworms exploding out of the ground

02:39to hordes of goblins terrorizing the battlefield,

02:43this will be a great way to break up the gameplay

02:45when they do show up.

02:47In pre-Torment tiers,

02:48you can play a modified version of Infernal Hordes

02:50before reaching Torment difficulties called Fleeting Hordes.

02:54Fleeting Hordes will be four waves in total,

02:57but with limited Infernal Offerings

02:59to keep everything under control

03:00while you build up your character.

03:02Upon completing the four waves,

03:04you'll fight two Fel Council members

03:06before you can spend your hard-earned Aether

03:08for more rewards.

03:09To make Helltides and Torment even more unpredictable,

03:13you'll encounter Chaos Rifts.

03:15These rifts appear with varying rarities

03:17from magic all the way up to the elusive mythic.

03:20If you're lucky enough to stumble upon a mythic rift,

03:23don't pass it up.

03:24They're incredibly rare and packed with rewards.

03:28You can expect to gain powerful loot,

03:30heaps of experience,

03:31and seasonal currency known as Infernal Warp.

03:34More on that soon.

03:36In addition, Chaos Rifts can be found in Nightmare Dungeons,

03:38so keep an eye on your sigils

03:40as they can roll with a Chaos Rift at once.

03:43Seasonal powers this time around

03:45will be in the form of Chaos perks.

03:47They're unique modifiers designed to shake up your gameplay,

03:49but some of them have a kiss and curse effect.

03:52These perks grant powerful benefits,

03:54but certain ones can come with a cost.

03:56For example, one perk might drastically reduce

03:58your ability cooldowns,

04:00but completely remove the effects

04:01of cooldown reduction altogether.

04:03Another supercharges your healing potion,

04:05granting attack speed,

04:07resource cost reduction,

04:08and movement speed,

04:09but now your potion comes with a long cooldown.

04:11There's even a perk that boosts your damage

04:13the lower your health gets,

04:15rewarding different play styles.

04:17You'll power up Chaos perks

04:18using the seasonal currency we mentioned earlier,

04:20Infernal Warp.

04:21Perks come in rarities,

04:22ranging from magic to unique.

04:24You can equip up to three non-unique perks

04:26alongside one unique perk,

04:28giving you room to mix and match.

04:30Some perks are universal,

04:31while others are tailored specifically to each class.

04:34We're experimenting with these double-edged designs,

04:36and can't wait to hear your feedback.

04:37Let us know which perks you feel are fun and exciting,

04:40and which ones maybe missed the mark.

04:41We're adding a new unique item

04:43for each class this season.

04:44For the Barbarian,

04:45they'll receive the Saber of Saughal,

04:47which allows you to gain increased damage

04:48for each damaging skill you have equipped,

04:51plus a bonus burst of damage

04:53when you use those skills.

04:55The Druid gets the Kilt of the Blackwing.

04:57With this,

04:58Ravens deal more damage,

05:00and shape-shifting or using a companion skill

05:02summons a Raven to attack nearby enemies.

05:05We've already seen some really creative builds

05:07forming around this world.

05:09Necromancers can expect to see

05:10the Gospel of the Devotee.

05:11Basic skills are empowered,

05:13and hitting an enemy with a basic attack

05:15causes them to take increased damage

05:17from your other basic attacks.

05:20Rogues are getting the Orphan Maker.

05:22Basic and Core skills with this weapon now reload.

05:25Reload skills deal increased damage,

05:27and every second reload skill

05:29gains double the bonus.

05:30The Sorcerers can find Galvanic Azerite.

05:34Lightning damage magnetizes enemies for four seconds,

05:37making them emit crackling energy

05:39and take more lightning damage.

05:41If two magnetized enemies collide,

05:43they pull each other together.

05:45And finally for the Spearborn,

05:47Hishai Kusungi,

05:48which are new Spearborn gloves.

05:50The Protector can be invoked at range

05:52and pulls inward with its smashes.

05:55Enemies caught inside

05:56take more damage from Gorilla skills.

05:58Double if they're knocked down or at once.

06:03uniques, and updates we've covered today,
