Withfour different Spirits to choose fromalong with various interactions between them, Spiritborn might have some of the most diverse build-crafting options inDiablo IV. Even with the new abilities given to each class this season, Spiritborn takes the cake as the strongest class presently.
There are somany different strong build options for Spiritborn, all of which can hold their own going into the endgame.Utilizing Spirits together to obtain synergiesis the key to creating a strong Spiritborn build. This build guide focuses on the Gorilla and Jaguar Spirits to boost Eagle Skills.

Best Weapons & Gear For Quill Volley

While the Quill Volley Core Skill is the foundation of this build, it requires a unique item to truly become strong. The unique Quarterstaff,Rod of Kepeleke, adds the functionality of Basic Skills to Quill Volley, rendering them free to cast and applying additional synergies with Passives. BecauseQuill Volley is now considered both a Basic and a Core Skill, it will receive bonuses from anything that buffs either of those types of Skills, such as Aspect of the Moonrise.

Paragon Board For Quill Volley
Reworked Paragon Board
While the Paragon Board might shift once the player acquiresMythic Unique items, this Paragon Board setup should last for a while. The Spirit Glyph is used to boost Critical Strike Damage, which is key to Quill Volley. The second Glyph, Ritual, isused to increase the potency of Mystic Circles, which are permanently up.
I have yet to complete the Paragon Board this season, so refer toRageGamingVideos' YouTube videosfor further detailed Paragon information.

The Colossal and Talon Glyphs both boost Quill Volley’s damage, as it is considered a Gorilla Skill while using the Gorilla Spirit in the Primary Spirit Hall slot. The final Glyph, Headhunter, boosts all of this total damage against Elites, allowing the Spiritborn to melt bosses. Farming gear is a much longer process this seasoncompared to Season 5 with Infernal Hordes, so players will have to grind a lot to fully set up this build inDiablo 4.
