Diablo IV Adds 6 New Unique Items In Massive Update https://ift.tt/ZQDyT4l

Diablo IV's first major seasonal update has arrived, and it brings with it six new unique items including one weapon for each class, and one super-rare unique staff. Each of the new weapons will drop starting at World Tier 4.

The most powerful of the new items is the Ahavarion Spear of Lycander, a new Uber Unique staff. When using the staff, killing an Elite enemy will result in a random Shrine effect being applied for 10-20 seconds, with a cooldown of 30 seconds. The developer's note attached to Ahavarion warns players that the staff is an incredibly rare drop, adding, "we wish you luck in recovering it from the armies of the Burning Hells."

Barbarians get the Unique sword Azurewrath, Druids get the Unique one-handed mace Fleshrender, Necromancers have the Unique shield Lidless Wall, Rogues will get the Unique bow Eaglehorn, and for Sorcerers, the Unique wand The Oculus.
