The last entry in the Diablo franchise has started to plan for next season’s content. The patch notes, spanning over 10,000 words, reveal significant alterations to certain classes and the upgrading process of items, resulting in a complete overhaul.
Diablo 4 will be making various changes to the skillset of Necromancers and Barbarians. This will make the balance of these classes affect all the others. Activision-Blizzard decided to extend Season 3 until the middle of May, but the test for Season 4 will begin soon, and players will have to discover the future alterations for themselves.
Blizzard will make a lot of changes in Diablo 4, which is almost becoming a different game
Last year, Activision-Blizzard launched the fourth entry in the popular action RPG franchise with a pretty good reception from critics, but not so much from fans. Almost a year later, Diablo 4 is about to enter season 4 with some core changes that seemingly make this title a completely different game.
The new crafting system allows for even more item upgrades, resulting in higher stats, and the core mechanics will change the balance of power in the game.
The patch notes, containing over 10,000 words completely changed the Necromancers class. From now on, your minion will inherit 100% of your stats, so it will be a near exact copy of you and will also have powerful bonus damage.
As for the Barbarians, skills like Charge and Hammer of the Ancients will suffer a significant damage reduction, making the class nerfed to oblivion.
Some classes will be nearly unstoppable in Diablo 4
Druid skills will have some alterations as well. Lacerate does more damage to this particular class. The Rogue grenades have new buff damage that will make this skill useful.
Sorcerers will no longer have the possibility of infinite teleportation, and the Frozen Orb will be much stronger than before. Tempering will be the new crafting system on Diablo 4, which will add affixes to your items, making them more powerful than ever.
In the patch notes, Blizzard clarified that the first Public Test Realm (PTR) began on April 9, so players can become familiar with all these changes. Some players will be very happy about their favorite classes being changed.
The Diablo 4 community is big, and several fans have followed this franchise since the 1990s. There is no official release date for Season 4 of the game; however, this PTR will be key to testing out all the changes the title will implement.
