Diablo IV: Season 2 - Vampiric Powers and Pacts Explained
3 Different Vampiric Pacts can appear on Armor-Pieces
Diablo IV Season 2: The Season of Blood introduces New Vampiric Powers fueled by three Vampiric Pacts: Divinity, Eternity and Ferocity.
These pacts appear on every Armor Piece (Helm, Chest, Gloves, Pants and Boots).
DIVINITY
ETERNITY
FEROCITY
Up to 5 Vampiric Pacts per Armor-Piece
Every armor piece can have up to 5 vampiric pacts in any combination of Divinity, Eternity and Ferocity.
The maximum number of pacts depends on the tier of the item:
NORMAL: 15 PACTS
SACRED: 20 PACTS
ANCESTRAL: 25 PACTS
Vampiric Pacts can be Reforged
Killing blood seekers or killing monsters in seasonal events like the blood harvest or will reward you with cleansing acids and pacts.
Those items allow you to add pacts to your gear or remove them. This way you can modify your gear to have the pacts needed to fuel your vampiric powers.
Use Pacts on your Gear to activate Vampiric Powers
Vampiric powers are grouped into minor and major powers. Minor powers require 1 to 3 pacts while major powers always require 6 pacts.
With a maximum of 25 pacts from ancestral gear we can potentially activate 4 major and one minor vampiric power.
