A popular post on Reddit captures the issue in a meme. The top text on the meme reads "Keep one Diablo 4 Items adventurer alive," referencing the goal for mastering the encounter. The bottom text reads, "Aaaand they're gone," since they die so quickly. A second Reddit posts on the subject details a player's frustrations in more detail. They say the encounter is a joke, that the adventurers die to AOEs or poison, and have no visible health bar.

The issue obviously isn't pressing. Diablo 4 players responding to these Reddit posts acknowledge that it's silly how difficult it is to keep these NPCs alive, but also recognize the rewards aren't particularly special anyway. Many players say the encounter is still good because of all the enemies it spawns, which can make up for the loot lost by letting the adventurers die.

Giving the adventurers more health or resistance would seemingly be an easy solution to the problem. Perhaps Blizzard likes that one of its Diablo 4 encounters has a higher failure rate than the others, though. Most other encounters are quite easy, after all. Perhaps Blizzard will note the feedback and buff the NPCs in a future update, but that's just speculation at this time.

Diablo 4 has various ways for players to customize their character. From the start of the game, players are first left to create the character that they will use for the rest of the game; after some exploration, players will then begin to find new pieces of armor to equip.

Salvaging this gear at a Blacksmith allows players to then wear the style of this armor permanently without needing to have that gear equipped. Although all classes share the same names of armor, they all appear differently on the character. Barbarians may appear as if they don't wear much attire, as seen from the character customization screen; however, this lethal class still has plenty of brilliant armor options for gamers to choose from.

8 Weathered

Surprisingly, a brilliant style of armor that can be found early into the game that many players are likely to enjoy is the Weathered look for their Barbarian. While the original colors may not be something players favor, this can easily be changed by selecting a different pigment.

Unlike many of the other helmets in Diablo 4, this fluffy hat that makes the player look like a Yak doesn't cover the entirety of the player's face; allowing some of the previous customization to peek through. Besides this, the Weathered armor is a great starting set to also mix and match gear from in the case of not wanting to wear the entire set.

7 Boneweave

While Weathered can be found fast when exploring across Sanctuary, others will be waiting awhile to get their hands on the entire Boneweave set. This is because this armor can only be found through legendary equipment that can be incredibly rare at times.

Players could just wear this armor, although if they wanted to be able to change its pigment, they would have to  buy Diablo IV Items sacrifice the gear as salvage. While the helmet is quite questionable to some, the chest piece and pants certainly convinced many players to use this set.
