Diablo 4 Quill Volley Spiritborn Build Guide: Max Damage & Endgame Strategy

Unleash the Power! The Ultimate Quill Volley Spiritborn Build in Diablo IV

Diablo IV Season of the Malignant: Dominate with the Spiritborn Class!

Diablo IV's Season of the Malignant is here, and the new Spiritborn class is a total game-changer! With four unique Spirits and crazy build combinations, Spiritborn offers the most versatile builds in the game, even with all the new season abilities and buffs. This build focuses on obliterating enemies with Quill Volley using the power of the Gorilla and Jaguar spirits to amplify Eagle Skills; and even this extremely powerful combination requires strategic and extremely calculated planning!

We'll cover the skills, passives, the best gear and aspects (including legendary aspects and unique items like Rod of Kepeleke and Harmony of Ebewaka), and even a Paragon board setup; which must be noted changes throughout a gameplay period; as we will soon discuss. Getting all this is also important for various reasons. Grinding takes significantly longer for various reasons (and especially those unique items) compared to earlier seasons; such as Season of the Burning Hordes, showcasing a difficulty curve many will face. With that in mind, let’s unleash some truly awesome damage output!

Best Quill Volley Skills & Passives for Maximum Damage

Reaching level 60 unlocks all the necessary Skill Tree points! (or lower to begin those progression levels!). Our build centers onQuill Volley (the core skill!),Razor Wings (applying Vulnerable!), and several defensive skills; as we shall explore. We will utilize the Hunter ultimate for those important attack resets which can really enhance your damage; making these kind of sustained damage runs extremely valuable for creating consistent, long periods of maximum effectiveness, especially as higher tiers require sustained performance and resilience. You must also maximize the amount of available skill tree points. The entire arrangement of these points will matter, as well as having certain items acquired for those synergies which otherwise wouldn't function quite so well without acquiring them and integrating them into this precise combination of equipment. Here’s that skill tree arrangement; many passives are noted. We will cover equipment and synergy in the sections below, to enhance clarity and make these explanations significantly easier:

Basic Skills: Enhanced Thrash (1/5)
Core Skills: Advantageous Quill Volley (5/5)
Focus Skills: Focal Point (1/3), Apex (3/3), Diminishment (3/3)
Defensive Skills: Reinforced Armored Hide (1/5), Reinforced Counterattack (1/5), Adaptable Scourge (1/5), Endurance (1/3), Perseverance (3/3), Antivenom (2/3)
Potency Skills: Invasive Razor Wings (5/5), Brilliance (3/3), Potent (3/3), Furnace (2/3)
Ultimate Skills: Exalted The Hunter (3/3), Resolution (1/3), Spiritual Attunement (3/3), Supremacy (1/3), Sustenance (3/3), Intricacy (3/3)

Prodigy's Tempo is a critical passive here, and you'll also want those Gorilla and Jaguar Spirit Hall bonuses for maximum effect, transforming skills intoGorilla Skillsfor synergies (likeAspect of Unyielding Hits) and maximizingFerocity stacks(boosts attack speed).

Gear Up! Essential Items & Legendary Aspects

That Quill Volley core skill shines withRod of Kepeleke(that unique Quarterstaff); its effect makingQuill Volleyboth a Basic and a Core skill! That boosts damage via many passives. It also gives increased size at max Vigor along with the critical strikes. Note also how this interacts with passives that boost critical strikes; maximizing all critical damage outputs and is going to really make this entire strategy significantly better in all respects.

We also suggest this gear configuration. Many different alternatives exist which can also give different play styles which can suit certain play styles much better. And just remember how various interactions also occur between various aspects as well! But the combination outlined below is intended for those new players wishing to gain immediate increases to their available abilities and skill sets in order to get as much power output as fast as possible:

Helm: Harmony of Ebewaka (Your Skills get additional Spirit types for extra damage). The combination outlined here intends for various synergy effects that are difficult to replicate without using very specific combinations and using these precise gear choices. Its increased damage effect will be extremely noticeable. Its specific value varies from a range of 10-30% increased damage; depending on how you decide to build and how many spirits you want to use to boost those skillsets. This damage multiplier creates an incredibly large value and should greatly enhance any runs. You really need this for the maximum effect.
Chest Armor: Duelist’s Aspect (Maximum Ferocity increased by 1-5). This adds a large amount of attack speed and creates an important synergistic element by increasing those necessary amounts.
Gloves: Rebounding Aspect (Quill Volley’s feathers return for additional damage, an additional 25-45%).
Pants: Aspect of Might (Basic Skills give 20% Damage Reduction).
Boots: Aspect of Sky Power (Lucky Hit chance to create a Mystical Circle for 10 seconds, empowering your Eagle Skills and dealing additional damage). Its extra damage and movement speed can be valuable at different parts in the overall gameplay runs.The movement speed itself is a game changer, although this alone cannot make or break an overall gameplay.
Amulet: Aspect of Unyielding Hits (Casting a Gorilla Skill increases Weapon Damage by 10-30% of your Armor for 3 seconds).
Ring 1: Ring of the Midnight Sun (Regain Vigor on Critical Strikes, plus Counterattack's Passive effect). The recovery is critical to maintaining attack runs, since Vigor recovery often cannot happen simply through typical defensive capabilities alone.
Ring 2: Aspect of the Moonrise (Damaging with Basic Skills grants 4% Attack Speed for 10 seconds; up to 5 stacks creating increased damage and movement speed!). This adds even more damage, but is most valuable during longer fights; creating another very important synergy, allowing more frequent attacks at a higher pace; which enhances critical attack capabilities as well.

Ring of the Midnight Sun andHarmony of Ebewakaare extremely critical items. The first is used to maintain Vigor, enabling sustainedQuill Volleyattacks.Harmony of Ebewakamultiplies damage from various Spirit affinities.

Paragon Board Setup: Boosting Your Critical Strikes!

TheParagon Boardchanges depending on the gear obtained and this layout should only work temporarily! We use theSpiritglyph for critical strike damage boosts; those boosts matter. And that other glyph (Ritual) improves the mightyMystic Circlesthat’ll remain always on with your current build. Getting as much of those key skills and various attack speed boosts as possible is going to matter the most, along with prioritizing critical damage which synergizes with many skills from that particular section in the skills and talents sections available! If you're missing out on things you expect should appear within the gameplay, you need to check this list for those additional items required to gain the maximum power possible, in Diablo 4.

(For more detailed board information, checkRageGamingVideos’sYouTube videos. Go give it a watch; its extremely useful!) Here are the suggested talents in order:

Starter: Spirit (increased Critical Strike Damage, Critical Strikes boost enemy damage taken)
Viscous Shield: Ritual (increased Mystic Circle potency, increased damage and reduced damage while in the circle)
Revealing: Colossal (increased Gorilla Skill damage, increased damage with Resolve stacks)
Sapping: Talon (increased Eagle Skill damage, increased Critical Strike Damage)
Drive: Headhunter (boosts all normal nodes, increased Elite damage).

ColossalandTalondirectly increaseQuill Volleydamage, since the Gorilla Spirit makes it aGorilla Skill! Headhuntergives huge boss-melting power against Elites!

Conclusion: Become the Ultimate Quill Volley Master!

ThisQuill Volley Spiritbornbuild is insane. You’ll need this strategy to conquerDiablo IV’schallenges! The importance surrounding grinding however needs emphasis. Getting that amazing equipment, acquiring those unique legendary aspects along with those highly valuable unique items that will otherwise significantly harm your combat effectiveness and overall damage. These factors combined show how long you’ll likely need to create your character into something genuinely powerful, able to conquer even those highly difficult moments at those highest difficulties!
