As in previous entries, Diablo 4 has a myriad of elements informing its combat. Among these are mobility aspects. Fans can probably figure out their function from the name. These are various perks relating to players' ability to move. It sounds simple.
In reality, though, these aspects have a tremendous variety in their usage. That mainly comes down to their activation. Some are more convenient than others. Their utility depends on how organically they fit into gameplay. That should help players determine which ones to seek out. After all, Diablo 4 is not kind to the unwise or the stagnant. It's best to keep moving and do so with purpose.
7 Charged Aspect
The Sorcerer class has three aspects, but none of them are anything too special. Charged Aspect, as the name suggests, ties into electricity. Players absorb bits of crackling energy around the area. Doing so increases movement speed for four seconds. They could reap greater benefits depending on how much energy is available. At the end of the day, though, it's not what fighters can fall back on in a pinch. After all, what happens if there's no crackling energy?
Despite that problem, some fans can still find a use for this aspect. Those who do need only go to Scosglen. If they explore the Maddux Watch dungeon, the aspect will eventually drop. Again, though, plenty of more reliable power-ups exist.
6 Flamewalker's Aspect
This is the second major aspect of the Sorcerer class and a marginally better one at that. The effect remains the same. Flamewalker's Aspect boosts movement speed for four seconds. This time, though, it's contingent on the Firewall. Casting this spell and touching the flames provide the aforementioned speed. This lets the aspect combine naturally with other tactics and gives players more agency in their mobility. They can unleash the Firewall and swiftly get into position for a follow-up. Would-be wizards should consider grabbing this aspect.
To do so, they must travel to the Cultist's Refuse. It's a dungeon in the Fractured Peaks. Within this dungeon, the Flamewalker's aspect comes in the form of a drop.
5 Aspect Of Bounding Conduit
This final Sorcerer aspect is on par with the previous one. The perk once again boosts movement speed. Sadly, it's only three seconds. That's a downgrade, but a negligible one, especially when combined with the accompanying power. Players activate this aspect by teleporting: pop to a new location and instantly attain speed upon arrival.
Using these gifts in tandem means players can reach virtually any position before their enemies react. Plus, the perk fits better than with Firewall since teleporting is already designed for movement. Fighters who combine it with speed are the most maneuverable combatants on the battlefield.
These advantages make Bounding Circuit well worth finding. It's in the Dry Steppes region. Searchers must enter the Komdor Temple dungeon. Exploring this place eventually yields the aspect from a drop.
4 Wind Striker Aspect
This aspect is general, meaning that it's not limited to class. Players from every walk of life can activate this bonus through critical strikes. Depending on how many of these players land, they can increase movement speed from one to six seconds. This makes Wind Striker capable of greater mobility than any other aspect, but not consistently. It hinges on the rate at which players land critical hits.
As a result, their speed may be sporadic, which is far from the guarantee that most players want. As such, this aspect is only for those with the utmost confidence in their critical hit rate. If they have the confidence and stats to back it up, attaining the Wind Strike Aspect is as simple as any other. It drops in the Shiva Ruins dungeon. Fans can find said dungeon in Kehjistan.
3 Ghostwalker Aspect
Here's another general aspect. The Ghostwalker Aspect lets players truly feel like a phantom, albeit briefly. The first step is Unstoppable. This state enhances various stats and skills; it also resists certain hindering ailments. It's a generous gift in itself, so Ghostwalker just makes it better. After attaining Unstoppable status, the aspect boosts speed for four seconds. What's more, is that users can even go through enemies while in this state.
Better still, players don't have to rely on a random drop to get it. The aspect is a reward for completing quests. Clear the Scosglen story campaign, and Ghostwalker is the prize. It's not the only companion skill to Unstoppable, though.
2 Ravager's Aspect
The only aspect for the Rogue class, the Ravager's Aspect enhances Shadow Step. This ability makes players Unstoppable while they backstab an enemy, but it already increases movement speed. As such, the mobility aspect comes with other perks. The first is an additional charge, enabling more frequent use. On top of that, using the ability to kill an enemy refills one of the charges. For the icing on the cake, kills also boost damage for a few seconds. It's hard to believe that one aspect holds this many benefits.
That's probably why it's so rare. Players can only obtain it from item drops, but not just any item drops. It only lies in the Legendary variety. Thankfully, the Ravager's Aspect is well worth the wait.
1 Aspect Of Perpetual Stomping
This is exclusive to the storied Barbarian class. Therefore, it's contingent on the Leap skill: a mainstay of the Diablo series. Here, it involves jumping up and unleashing a slam attack on the ground, clearing out any enemies with shockwave. Such a powerful move would naturally have a massive cooldown. Luckily, Aspect of Perpetual Stomping lessens the wait. Kicking or ground-stomping an enemy resets the Leap's cooldown meter. Granted, this doesn't have much to do with mobility, yet it's inarguably effective. With it, players can double their damage output.
Barbarian builds should definitely seek this aspect out in the Dry Steppes. Specifically, it's a drop in the Charnel House dungeon. Acquiring it may require some time, but fans will be happy they paid the price once they reap the benefits.
Diablo 4 is available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
