Do you want to beat your record at how fast you can kill a World Boss in Diablo 4? Are you simply looking for efficient skills to make the job of eliminating them easier? You're not the only one. When it comes to World Bosses, skills that deal high damage or those that let you deal consistent DPS from a distance are crucial.
Whether you're a Druid or a Necromancer in Diablo 4, some skills are better than others when facing your colossal enemies in Sanctuary. Before going on your next raid, it's best to take your time to get to know the skills at your disposal. It's time to sharpen the dull blades.
7 Deep Freeze - Sorcerer
A sorcerer's skills can always come in handy in a World Boss fight. Their ability to do ranged attacks that deal good damage saves them the effort of having to be too close to a World Boss and risking their whole health bar. A great skill to have during a World Boss fight is the skill Deep Freeze, which lets your sorcerer protect themselves by encompassing them with ice.
You are immune for four seconds. You can still deal 25 percent damage while you're in the ice barrier, and you can chill enemies. If that wasn't enough, you deal 100 percent extra damage once the skill expires. All these perks can help when dealing with the World Bosses, especially if you need to heal yourself quickly and need immunity. And the enhanced versions of the skill are even more beneficial.
6 Grizzly Rage
Grizzly Rage can help stack the damage on a World Boss if it's proving stubborn to kill. When your Druid transforms into a Dire Werebear, it stays like that for 12 seconds. When you're in this form you're stronger, and you can deal 20 percent extra damage when you attack. You also tank better and gain 20 percent damage reduction.
The other versions of Grizzly Rage, namely Prime Grizzly Rage and Supreme Grizzly Rage, let you become Unstoppable and let you gain Base Life as Fortify when you're in Grizzly mode. Spamming attacks become an evident tactic when dealing with World Bosses, especially if they're not using special attacks. Using Grizzly Rage with good timing can help fasten the process of killing off a World Boss for good.
5 Wrath Of The Berserker
No one can quite lay it heavy like the Barbarian Class. Of course, they are diehards as much as they are heavy hitters. If you want to deal a good bunch of damage to a World Boss while your party members do other things, then using the Wrath of The Berserker skill can do your contribution some extra good.
You Berserk and become unstoppable once this skill is activated for the next five seconds. The other versions of this strong skill are called Prime Wrath of The Berserker, and Supreme Wrath of The Berserker. You're already a trailblazer with the first version of the skill, but with Prime, you get 20 percent faster, and you increase Fury by 30 percent. You're a killing machine. It's a great skill to spam, but you can also largely help your team members by tanking and using this skill.
4 Penetrating Shot
Rogues have the advantage of ranged attacks just like the Sorcerers, but Rogues can lay it even heavier. With the Penetrating Shot skill, your rogue can fire a piercing arrow that deals at least 70 percent damage. The damage dealt by the arrow increases if your combo points go up as well. Strike a World Boss at the right time with this skill, and you can very well end their life.
To understand how strong this skill is, Rank 1 of the skill deals 70 percent damage, and the last rank at Rank 5 deals 98 percent damage. Need we say more? The Penetrating Shot has four and not just two evolutions. These versions help increase the chances of making a critical strike or offer extra damage. With the Penetrating Shot at your Rogue's disposal, your can chip away at that World Boss' life bar, one arrow at a time.
3 Whirlwind
Whirlwind is a hugely popular skill among Barbarians because of its efficiency at killing and its ability to deal damage to a whole number of foes simultaneously. This particular skill has five ranks, with Rank 1 dealing 17 percent damage and Rank 5 dealing a good 25 percent damage.
It also has three versions, with the most evolved version being able to inflict 40 percent of base damage when used with a weapon that deals slash damage. It's evident why you could use this well in a World Boss Fight.
Firstly, it deals with rapid DPS because of the swiftness of the movement and deals a substantial amount of damage as well. Secondly, it has a relatively low cooldown time and can be spammed. By timing it right and having an evolved version of the skill, Whirlwind can be used again and again to deal fast damage at any opening during a World Boss Fight.
2 Pulverize
Pulverize can deal massive damage and becomes even stronger with the right Aspect and Passive. Different versions of Pulverize overpower enemies, stun them, and reduce enemies' damage, and the first version deals 50 percent damage to enemies in proximity.
If you find yourself in a tough situation during a Boss Fight, you always have the option to take this wild card out and lower that World Boss' health significantly. The skill has five ranks, with the first one inflicting 50 percent damage as we've already stated, and Rank 5 dealing a whopping 70 percent damage.
By taking the time to refine the skill and complement it with the right Aspects and Passives, you have a lethal tool at your disposal, which can also be backed up by critical strikes and chances to stun your enemy. Pulverize can be a World Boss Killing Machine when used right and developed to its max potential.
1 Bone Spear
A user playing with a Bone Spear Necromancer build was able to kill the Wandering Death Boss at level 90 in only 15 seconds with the Bone Spear skill. The Bone Spear skill specializes in inflicting consistent and non-stop critical damage. That's how this was all possible.
Of course, if you want to be at this rank, you'll need to accept the fact that these type of players have refined their Bone Spear Necromancer builds to their finest. They've potentially maxed out their gear's attributes, and are actively using the right Aspects and Passives to booth.
Regardless of this detail, Bone Spear remains impressive from the get-go. Inflicting 85 percent damage at rank one and a serious 111 percent damage at Rank 5. Bone Spear's single-target burst damage is almost indomitable, so if you truly want to end a World Boss life in a single swoop, this skill has all the potential to do so.
