War Plans: Best Skill Setups for All Activities
How to optimize your skill setups for maximum loot
With the release of Lord of Hatred, Diablo 4’s endgame has changed fundamentally. War Plans have now become the core of your daily routine and play a major role in determining your overall progression.
The synergies between the new skill trees now decide whether you optimize your gear efficiently or lose valuable time in the grind. In this overview, I’ll show you how to skill the individual War Plan paths according to the current state of the game (Patch 3.0.2), so you can get the maximum value out of every run.
In the Build Planner, you can find the descriptions of the individual War Plan skill points under “War Plan”.
