In Diablo 4, Legendary Aspects serve as unique parameters that are capable of metamorphosing Rare objects into Legendary items. Once a Legendary item is procured from a drop, it will innately possess a Legendary Aspect pertinent to its gear slot classification.
Apart from discovering Aspects on loot drops, these can also be obtained upon completing certain Dungeons within the game. These Aspects, subsequently noted in the Codex of Power, offer a foundation of bonus enhancements to elevate your character until more advantageous gear drops are located. However, when these are imprinted by the Occultist, they always register at the minimum possible value. Consequently, despite having unlocked an Aspect, it’s advisable to persist in the quest for superior versions on gear drops to supersede those of lower rolls.
There’s also the possibility of encountering Aspects which, while possessing formidable power, may not be compatible with your character’s build due to its gear-slot orientation. In such scenarios, you have the option to extract the Legendary Aspect from the item, though this necessitates a substantial expenditure of Gold and results in the destruction of the original gear piece. Nevertheless, the extracted Legendary Aspect can subsequently be imprinted onto a gear-slot that aligns more effectively with your character’s requirements.
Legendary Aspects Categories
Legendary Aspects in Diablo 4 are potent modifications that can exclusively be imprinted onto specific slots of rare or legendary items. They are organized into five categories: Offensive, Defensive, Resource, Utility, and Mobility. Each category is designed to be imprinted onto distinct gear slots, necessitating thoughtful decision-making in terms of which aspects should be applied to which items.
Offensive Aspects: These can be imprinted onto Gloves, 1H Weapons, 2H Weapons (yielding a 100% bonus in effectiveness), Rings, and Amulets (yielding a 50% bonus in effectiveness).
Defensive Aspects: These can be applied to Helms, Chest Armor, Pants, Shields, and Amulets (yielding a 50% bonus in effectiveness).
Resource Aspects: These can be used on Helms, Rings, and Amulets (yielding a 50% bonus in effectiveness).
Utility Aspects: These can be applied to Helms, Chest Armor, Boots, Gloves, and Amulets (yielding a 50% bonus in effectiveness).
Mobility Aspects: These are exclusively imprintable on Boots and Amulets (yielding a 50% bonus in effectiveness).
It’s paramount to keep in mind that the Codex always imprints the lowest value and does not exhibit the maximum achievable for an Aspect. While we have verified some values from drops that demonstrate the ranges, numerous others remain ambiguous. Also, it’s notable that certain flat value powers can evolve in tandem with character level or item power. By judiciously imprinting Legendary Aspects onto your gear, you can optimize your character’s build and secure a substantial edge in combat scenarios.
How to get a Legendary Aspect in Diablo 4?
Stumbling upon a Legendary Aspect that’s ill-suited to your build doesn’t mean it’s of no value. In fact, it can be extracted at The Occultist, albeit for a substantial sum of Gold. Post-extraction, this Aspect is securely housed within your Aspect Inventory tab, lying in wait for an apt gear piece to be applied to. Moreover, should your Aspect Inventory become overwhelmed, the Aspect can be transferred over to your Stash for safekeeping. Extracted Aspects come complete with information pertaining to eligible item types for imprinting, along with detailed descriptions of bonuses they yield when applied to certain items. This offers a highly efficient method of repurposing potent Aspects that might otherwise languish unused on incompatible gear.
Is it possible to outfit an item with a Legendary Aspect inherent to another class?
The answer to this query is affirmative, yet it comes with a caveat. While equipping an item with a Legendary Aspect characteristic of a different class is feasible, this action essentially incapacitates the Legendary Aspect for that character, since it doesn’t enable access to the specific bonuses.
For instance, a Rogue may opt to imprint the Aspect of Ancestral Force onto a Bow and successfully equip it. However, the unique bonus of the Aspect of Ancestral Force, which causes Hammer of the Ancients to reverberate outward, inflicting a proportion of its damage on enemies, becomes obsolete. This is simply due to the fact that the skill Hammer of the Ancients doesn’t feature in the arsenal of a Rogue.
