With the release of Season 8: Belial’s Return, Diablo 4 players can now experience creating new builds using newly added Aspects.
These include a total of 6 new aspects for each of the classes and characters in both Seasonal and Eternal Realms can grab them.
Depending on what character you are using, some of these Aspects may be a huge game changer while others may feel like using them to spice things up.
How To Get Season 8 New Aspects?
Like the previous seasons, these new Aspects that were introduced in Season 8 won’t be available from completing dungeons and instead are obtained through salvaging.
To get these Aspects, you will need to progress to the point where you can start getting Legendary equipment and hope for it to have the Aspect that you want.
Once you have Legendary equipment that has one of the new Aspects, you may salvage it at a Blacksmith and the Aspect will be added to your collection.
All New Aspects in Season 8: Belial’s Return
1) Aspect of Contamination (Rogue)
The Aspect of Contamination for Rogues boosts their Poison Trap skill, which causes it to burst for an additional [10%-30%] of its total normal damage when triggered.
If the Poison Trap Skill happens to Critically Strike, this will cause you to deal [20%-40%] increased Poison damage for 9 seconds.

The Aspect of Delayed Extinction affects both Barbarian’s Mighty Throw and Steel Grasp skills, which adds more to the damage that they deal.

Verdict
These Aspects are only obtainable by specific classes since they are tied to certain skills that the classes use, meaning if you want all of them, you will need more characters.
The use of the Season 8 New Aspects can change some of your builds and if you use skills that they affect, you might want to check them out.
Aspects obtained in the Eternal Realm are not shared with the Seasonal Realm, making it necessary to get what you need depending on which realm you are playing in.
