Diablo 4 Server Lag From Broken Build

The Diablo 4 community uncovered a game-breaking damage exploit causing server instability. Learn how this unexpected interaction between abilities works and why fans are expressing concerns about Berserk crossover pricing.

Exploitative Build Creates Server Strain Through Damage Loops

Seasonal content in Diablo 4's latest update contains unexpected gameplay interactions. When certain boss powers combine with specific Legendary Aspects, they create an infinite damage cycle that visibly impacts server performance. Macrobioboi demonstrated this phenomenon in a May 9 video where entire rooms of enemies disintegrated instantly.

The glitch requires equipping Vampiric Curse Legendary Aspect, which maintains Vulnerable status indefinitely on affected enemies. This normally beneficial effect interacts strangely with the Flesh Reaper's Disruption boss power that theoretically should remove Vulnerable when stunning targets.

The game enters calculation overload when Varshan's Life Steal adds substantial damage bursts to these continuous stun-vulnerability loops. Popular streamer wudijo captured footage showing characters frozen amidst overwhelming particle effects, commenting:

"The engine's simultaneously processing hundreds of damage instances - no wonder servers struggle."

Blizzard hasn't addressed the exploit yet, allowing players to temporarily enjoy chaotic gameplay at the cost of smooth server performance.

Berserk Collaboration Sparks Price Controversy

Diablo 4's crossover with dark fantasy manga Berserk delivers fan service at premium prices. While free cosmetics like Brand of Sacrifice markings exist, the most iconic armor sets come with startling price tags.

The free Berserk Reliquary offers:

• Hawks Destiny Back Trophy
• Skull Knight's Heraldry Mount Armor
• Brand of Sacrifice Marking
• Foretold Eclipse Headstone
• Od of the Berserker Emblem

The premium collection contains:

• The Berserker Armor (Barbarian) - $28
• The Hawk of Light (Rogue) - $28
• The Struggler (Rogue) - $28
• The Skull Knight (Necromancer) - $28
• The Schnoz Pet Bundle - $28
• Warhorse of the Hawk Mount - $25

Full collection purchases exceed $150, matching previous WoW crossover monetization strategies. This pricing precedent worries fans anticipating future collaborations.

While armor quality impresses, significant costs create hesitation among players. Diablo IV remains available across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms.
