How to get Ebonpiercer in Diablo 4

Ebonpiercer in Diablo 4 can be found by defeating Grigore, on World Tier 3 and World Tier 4. Grigoire, the Galvanic Saint was introduced back in Season 2 of D4, and he’s certainly a challenging foe, no matter what difficulty level you find him at. Hiowever, this boss is not going to guaranteed drop the new amulet. Like all items in this Action RPG, you’re going to have to farm it a great deal. However, this Unique is only available in Season 4.

While Uniques drop in various places in World Tier 3 and World Tier 4, fighting Grigoire, the Galvanic Saint is the most likely place it will drop. Other than that, you can find uniques on enemies, Treasure Goblins, World Bosses, the World Boss Caches, Helltide Chests, and Nightmare Dungeons.

What build could gain the most from Ebonpiercer?

This is a potentially wildly overpowered item. Ebonpiercer in Diablo 4 offers everything a Necromancer could want: more damage, damage reduction, cost reduction, and movement speed. Then it buffs one of the classes’ most powerful spells: Blight.

In particular, this could favor any build of the Necromancer class that utilizes Blight; for my money, it’s going to do the best for builds like Blight Corpse Explosion. Any Necromancer build that has this ability as an option is going to really love the item.
