Aspects are an incredible resource in Diablo 4 that players can apply to their gear to enhance their mobility, offense, defense, utility, and resources. And some Legendary Aspects can be used by all classes.
While there are Aspects that are class-only, General, or all-class Aspects, can be obtained by any class by completing the Aspect dungeon and applying to the appropriate gear. The best part is that they’re account-wide, so these Aspects can be used by all the characters you create, regardless of class.Â

When I was completing these dungeons, I started at one point, worked my way around the map, and unlocked various waypoints. It took a few hours to complete, so if you have time, or enjoy slaying and playing as you please, collecting all of the General Legendary Aspect from these dungeons is a great way to do that.
