I was playing on the Diamond Professional when this layout came up and I hit the 8B and, of course, got snookered behind it.

That was my first thought too. Hit the shot with some speed to encourage some separation from the 8 if/when you bump into it and play the shot...
The 8 and 9 are both huge balls in this particular layout. I don’t think it’s possible to miss both going 3 rails, while still getting on the 4.
You can work on this particular layout until you can miss the 8 ball, and get position on the 4 ball every time, so what? The balls will be layed out in a totally different pattern the next game you play, where you need to use the rails, and you’ll have the same problem.
As suggested earlier you really need to learn a rail system that works for you and helps no matter the layout of the balls or as you said in your opening post, you’ll always have this problem. I think it is especially important no matter your skill level to learn this

Just go deeper in the corner and come above it. Use more of a draw stroke with plenty of outside. Left.

Whenever I have a shot like this one where you have to go around three rails to get from the 3B to the 4B I almost always will run into the 8B. No matter where the 8B (or whatever ball it may be) is I usually seem to find a way to make contact with it.
Any tips or ideas on how to avoid the 8B in this situation?

What he said!!
He doesn't do that. He doesn't practice break shots, he doesn't set up problems and shoot them until he makes it more than he misses.
It's why a lot of people refuse to help, things like new cloth and rigged lights are what rents space in his head. He 100% doesn't want to get better unless it means buying something that will fix the one at the moment problem.
you do need to go three rails or you may not get on the correct side of the 4 ball
you need to be about where you are now on that side of the 4. otherwise you start the progression to get out of position on the 6 to get an easy shot on the 8. then you can get into a bad spot and not get out.
think more balls ahead here.

Three, two, make a billiard instead...
DCP just making post about the funny Diamond banks.
You can do a lot of things to get three; like slam the shot with some inside so it goes deeper into the second rail.
No way at all? Even the dinosaurs have cell phones with cameras on them nowadays.
Why put in any kind of hard work when you can come on the internet & ask random people on a billiards message board how to hit the shot.
Huh. Didn't even think of that.
It would be easy for us mere mortals to lose the cue ball down towards the foot rail, but the more I look at it, the more I like it...
I think most good players will make this bank a very high percentage of the time. And you don't need to put much pace on it.
You can draw out of that and get on the correct side of the 6. I like it.
It would likely be a shitty little back cut on the 4, but off the 4 you should be able to come 2 rails right down the line on the 6, so...
