You’ll have new build options to look forward to in Diablo 4 Season 5 no matter which class you play.
New Unique Gear for Diablo 4 Season 5
To date, one Unique Gear piece has been unveiled for each of the five classes in Diablo 4, to be potentially included in their Season 5 loadouts. The currently revealed Uniques for Diablo 4 Season 5 are listed below:
Character Class: Barbarian
- Unbroken Chain (Amulet): When casting Steel Grasp, the cooldown of Iron Maelstrom is reduced by 5-10 seconds. Additionally, enemies that are damaged by Iron Maelstrom will have their damage output decreased by 15-30% for a duration of 6 seconds.
The Druid Class
- The Björnfang’s Tusks (Gloves) now ensure that Cataclysm will hit all targets within its range, and you will also deal 40-80% [x] more damage for as long as the effect lasts. Additionally, while Cataclysm is in effect, your Spirit will be unlimited.
Necromancer
- The Path of Trag’Oul (Boots) enhances the Bone Prison skill, causing it to ensnare a wider radius and shoot 20-35 Bone Splinters at any enemies caught within. Additionally, each time these Bone Splinters strike an enemy, your Maximum Essence is increased by 2 for a duration of 8 seconds.
Rogue
- The Shroud of Khanduras (Chest) provides 3 seconds of immunity with its Dark Shroud ability, but also increases the cooldown for Evade by 9-3 seconds. When using Evade while Dark Shroud is active, enemies will be pulled in and damaged by a Shadow explosion.
Sorcerer
- Axial Conduit (Pants): Chain Lightning alternates between orbiting you and targeting up to 3 enemies. Upon returning, it consumes 6 Mana for each active Chain Lightning. Once a total of 66 Mana has been drained, the bolt detonates, dealing (270%-570%) Lightning damage. If insufficient Mana is available, Chain Lightning will expire.
Nabbing these Diablo 4 Season 5 Uniques will require toppling some endgame bosses.
New Features in Diablo 4 Season 5

- The Aspect of Elemental Acuity grants a 10-20% increase in Mana Regeneration for 5 seconds upon casting a Pyromancy, Shock, or Frost Skill, limited to once per Element. When fully stacked, the bonus is heightened to 60-120% for 10 seconds, but all stacks expire after the duration.
