In Diablo 4, the Seneschal came into play in Season 3, a mechanical companion for all classes. A player now presents a combination of stones that significantly increases damage on all builds.
The Seneschal is a mechanical companion that you can strengthen and customize with various runestones. He accompanies you throughout Sanctuary and cannot die, only be staggered. At the time of release, the seneschal still seemed quite weak. Now that many players have found more stones and leveled up, that has apparently changed.
A player has now presented the best combination for the Seneschal on YouTube, which makes every class significantly stronger and increases the damage in all builds. However, it requires one of the rarest stones.
Huge damage boost and cooldown reduction
What is this combination? In the YouTube video on January 29th, “RageGamingVideos” shows a strong combination of stones for the Seneschal that can increase your damage enormously. The following stones are necessary for this:
Because the Genesis Stone increases the effectiveness of the skill by 150%, and “Adrenaline Surge” multiplicatively increases the player character’s damage by 20%, according to “RageGamingVideos” you should end up with a multiplicative bonus of a whopping 50% and a few more bonuses.
Where can I get Genesis? Genesis is one of two unique voting stones and only drops from the Echo of Malphas – the new uber-boss in Season 3 of Diablo 4. The Echo of Malphas also drops with a high chance of Legendaries and has a chance of 925 items, i.e. the best in the game.
You can find out how you can summon and fight the boss here:
“Hurricane” as an alternative
Is there an alternative? You can also play the combination without Genesis for now, as it is still worthwhile. Another useful guiding stone is Hurricane. It gives an opponent an electrical charge, causing them to damage themselves and another opponent. At rank 10, Hurricane deals approximately 10,500 damage every second for 5 seconds.
You can combine Hurricane with different attunement stones depending on your class and build. If you’re using builds that rely on resources, Resource Support is a good choice because you’ll get primary resources the first time the supporting skill deals damage.
“Break Support” ensures that enemy barriers are destroyed. There is also a chance to make enemies vulnerable for 2 seconds – at rank 10 the chance is 100%. “Security Support” grants you damage reduction, and “Efficiency Support” increases your critical strike chance for targets hit.
Finding the right combination of skills is a big challenge for some players. Another player has listed other useful combinations for the Seneschal companion: Diablo 4: Player shows the best combinations for the Seneschal – This is how the pet becomes really strong
