So yesterday I decided to grind some levels on my new Spiritborn in Diablo 4, right? Needed something fast cause ain’t nobody got time for slow walks in Hell. Heard whispers about this killer XP build online, figured I’d test it myself.
My Early Messing Around
First things first, logged in around noon. Coffee strong. Grabbed the Spiritborn – just felt right for zooming around. Picked Ravening Strike right off the bat. Why? It smacks stuff close by quick. Good start, felt punchy.
Okay, got to level 5 easy peasy. Unlocked Death’s Mantle. Thought this sounded fancy. Tried it. Oh man, BIG difference. Stuff just starts falling over faster near me. Like, way faster. Felt good dropping packs quick.
Kept pushing, found my rhythm. DING! Level 10 hits. Time to add the spice: Fury Bolts. This is where things got stupid fun. Ran into a thick crowd, hit Fury Bolts… BOOM. Watching numbers pop off mobs like crazy fireworks? Sweet. XP just started rolling in.
Making It Really Sing (Around Level 15)
By level 15ish, things were cooking. Could see the speed. But wanted more punch? Yeah. Dropped a point into Spirit’s Echo. This little gem? Makes you spam your core skills more often without sweating the spirit cost so much. More skills = more dead mobs = more XP, period. Felt like cheating almost.
- Ravening Strike: For groups right on top of you.
- Death’s Mantle: Makes those same groups crumble faster.
- Fury Bolts: MELTS everything else.
- Spirit’s Echo: Keeps you blasting non-stop.
Actual Grinding Results (And Pain)
Took this hot mess out for a proper spin in Fractured Peaks. Mindlessly ran events. Chained dungeons – like Overgrown, Dead Man’s something, those small ones. Repetitive? Hell yeah. But efficient? UNREAL.
Hour one? Went from level 15 to like… 25? Solid. Hour two? Maybe 30-something. Lost track. Just kept murdering.
Okay, reality check: It ain’t perfect. Game crashed twice. Lagged once chasing loot. My cat jumped on the keyboard mid-boss fight. Died. Screamed. Still salty about that. Spirit management? Sometimes got wonky if I spammed too hard early on before Echo kicked in properly. Gotta watch it. Single tough targets? Yeah, Fury Bolts rules, but it ain’t instant.
Final Verdict (After Coffee Nap)
Overall? This build delivered big time for raw leveling speed. Went from zero to feeling strong stupid fast. Focus on those four key skills, chain pull everything, smash events/dungeons, watch that XP bar fly.
Would I use it again? Abso-bloody-lutely. Perfect when you just wanna blast through those boring early levels. Just… maybe lock the cat out first.
