Diablo 4 changes all classes in the midseason patch, brings buffs for everyone

earthpressnews

In the live stream, the developers of Diablo 4 gave a little insight into the upcoming midseason patch. All classes can look forward to buffs – even the already strong spirit-born.

On November 12th, Blizzard hosted a “Campfire Chat” livestream where they offered a glimpse of the upcoming midseason patch. This is basically a small preview, because there will be another stream next week – this time with more information and details.

What will the midseason patch include? With the midseason patch, Blizzard is planning adjustments for all classes to bring the balancing a little closer together. The spirit-born is currently the strongest class in Diablo 4 and dominates the tier list of the best builds for Season 6. The developers emphasized that there will be no nerfs in midseason – but you should “enjoy what you have” until Season 7.

In order to bring the classes more into line with each other, buffs will be made for all classes in the midseason patch. But the spirit-born does not go away empty-handed either.

Buffs for everyone – even the OP class in Diablo 4

What buffs will there be? With the midseason patch, various skills, aspects and uniques of the six classes will receive buffs, which we summarize below. In addition, we include a few English screenshots from Blizzard’s YouTube live stream.

  • The barbarians primarily receive buffs to their core skills – such as Hammer of the Ancients and Double Swing. The damage of the skills is increased.
  • The druids can look forward to a buff for all central passive skills. Among other things, the damage of the Wolfish Ferocity skill is increased. The legendary aspect Storm Chasing Aspect also receives a buff, so that you not only pursue more targets with the tornado, but also do more damage. The unique “The Basilisk” gets a buff in terms of damage.
  • The necromancers are currently quite strong and are at the top of the tier list of endgame builds in Season 6 with a number of builds. However, they also get buffs – including for their basic skills. For this purpose, the uniques Mortacrux and Roar from the Deep are buffed.
  • Huntresses get a buff for core skills and key passive skills. Among other things, the damage of Piercing Shot and Blade Storm is increased.
  • As for the sorceresses, there are buffs for key passive skills and aspects. The Burn and Avalanche skills are buffed in terms of their damage.
  • And the strong spiritborn also gets a few small buffs, especially skills that, according to Blizzard, “were less successful”. These include Cutting Wings and Withering Fist. The Poison Skin skill is buffed in terms of damage. Poison skin is currently being used in a new “AFK build” in which you kill enemies at the same time.

    • Keep in mind that this is just a glimpse of the midseason patch. The developers emphasize that there will be more adjustments to class balance. With Season 7, further adjustments will be made, especially to the spirit-born. You can then test the changes on a PTR for the next season.

    When is the midseason patch coming? The full patch notes should be available later this week, with the update itself next week. There will also be another Blizzard livestream next week in which the developers will announce details about the PTR for Season 7.

    The strong spirit-born is a recurring topic in the Diablo 4 community. Players discuss the OP builds and some think that they could use a nerf. Others think it’s better to demand buffs for all other classes. However, some also warn against making unconsidered wishes, as Blizzard often uses feedback to improve Diablo 4.
