How to use Aspects in Diablo 4
Using Aspects in Diablo 4 can be a bit confusing at first glance, but it’s worth figuring it out because of the incredible bonuses they can bestow on your gear. In order to use an Aspect, you need to imprint it onto a piece of equipment such as a sword, a helmet, a ring, or anything else you can equip. You may also find existing items in the world which already have Aspects imprinted on them - in which case you can choose to use them, or extract their Aspect to put onto a different item.
How to get Aspects
There are two ways to get an Aspect in Diablo 4:
How to equip Aspects
To equip an Aspect, you need to visit an Occultist. Occultists are unlocked once you reach character Level 15, and the first Occultist you’re likely to find in Diablo 4 is Demyan in the hub city of Kyovashad.

Interact with the Occultist and select the “Imprint” tab. Place the item you want to house the Aspect in the top slot. After that you can either select an Aspect from the Codex, or sacrifice an existing piece of equipment in order to transfer its Aspect onto the item you placed in the top slot.
Select Imprint Aspect at the bottom of the window and your chosen item will be given the new Aspect. This will also turn the item into a Legendary item if it wasn’t already.
How to extract Aspects
To extract an Aspect, simply interact with an Occultist, click the “Extract” tab at the top, then place the item with the Aspect in the top slot and click “Extract Aspect” at the bottom of the window. Extracting an Aspect costs a similar amount of Gold to imprinting one, so make sure you’re flush with cash before you try it.

Best Aspects in Diablo 4
Edgemaster’s Aspect (Any Class)
Edgemaster’s Aspect is a very potent Aspect for nearly any class and build, giving you a significant damage bonus based on how much energy you have in the tank. The overall damage output you get during extended fights thanks to this Aspect is well worth clearing the Oldstones dungeon to obtain it.
Aspect Of Might (Any Class)
Bold Chieftain’s Aspect (Barbarian)
Bold Chieftain’s Aspect can’t be found in the Codex so it’s harder to come across than some, but if you’re lucky enough to find it as a Shout-heavy Barbarian, this single Aspect will catapult your build into the top tiers of Barb setups. With Bold Chieftain’s Aspect you can essentially spam Shouts forever.
Aspect Of Ancestral Force (Barbarian)
Entire builds have been created that stem from this one Legendary Aspect. The Aspect Of Ancestral Force amplifies the range and effect of Hammer of the Ancients, turning it into a tremendously strong crowd control and pure damage ability. A must-have for HOTA-focused Barbarians.

Shockwave Aspect (Druid)
Stormchaser’s Aspect (Druid)
Stormchaser’s Aspect is the backbone of the Tornado-spamming Druid builds that are cropping up all over the place at the moment. This Legendary Aspect forces your Tornados to seek enemies, making it much less work to clear out whole rooms of enemies. A fantastic tool for a fantastic leveling setup.
Splintering Aspect (Necromancer)
Blighted Aspect (Necromancer)
Blighted Aspect is the perfect Aspect for anyNecromancerwho relies upon Blight and Corpse Explosion to clear armies of enemies quickly. With this Legendary Aspect you’ll gain a huge boost to damage once you’ve inflicted Blight upon enemies 10 times - which can happen in the blink of an eye for a Blight-heavy Necro.

Bladedancer’s Aspect (Rogue)
Bladedancer’s Aspect is a perfect match for theTwisting Blades Rogue, one of the strongest builds in Diablo 4 at the moment. If you pump enough strength into Twisting Blades then it deals simply incredible amounts of damage, so equipping this Aspect in order to make them orbit for extra damage is a no-brainer.
Trickshot Aspect (Rogue)
Trickshot Aspect is a must-have Aspect for Rogues who prefer to finish off their enemies at range with the Penetrating Shot skill. Once you can split your Penetrating Shot into three arrows which all hit the same target at once, your nuking potential against bosses goes off the charts.
Aspect Of Control (Sorcerer)
Aspect Of The Unbroken Tether (Sorcerer)
Aspect of The Unbroken Tether is exclusively useful to Lightning-focused Sorcerers, but the effects are well worth its inclusion in this list. Giving Chain Lightning two additional bounces makes a huge difference in the potency of this skill, allowing the Sorcerer to remove whole groups of enemies from the map in but a moment.
