In this part of the video, the speaker elaborates on progressing through a skill tree towards a rare node and explains the function of glyphs in Diablo 4. Glyphs, similar to Diablo 3’s legendary gems, are obtained from nightmare dungeons. They can be socketed to provide bonuses within a specified red radius. The glyphs require certain stats, such as willpower, within this radius to activate additional bonuses. The speaker strategically collects willpower nodes to meet these requirements, thereby increasing damage and gaining damage reduction while in Werebear form. Even without meeting all requirements, some bonuses from glyphs still apply, making them beneficial.
