Conclusion

The Balazan's Poison Rake Spiritborn build is one of the most exciting off-meta picks in Diablo 4 Season 9. It takes everything fun about the Spiritborn - mobility, rapid strikes, and raw Thorns damage - and amplifies it with Poisonous burst potential that scales explosively in group fights.

If you love high-speed gameplay, big poison numbers, and complex interactions between gear, skills, and mechanics, this build is worth a try. Just make sure to gear up for Diablo IV Items for sale defense, stack Attack Speed, and let Balazan's Thorns carry you into the pits.
