Diablo 4 patch notes 1.0.2d are here from Blizzard, as the RPG game is going through some launch changes to improve overall balance in Diablo 4, with survivability chief among the issues on the chopping block. Many Diablo 4 classes are also seeing shifts, with the Necromancer getting some serious buffs while Druid, Barbarian, and the rest get some nerfs as well – so strap in for these Diablo 4 patch changes, as there’s a lot to unpack here.
Let’s start from the top, you’ll want to keep up to date with the best Diablo 4 builds as these changes come into effect, as a lot of the classes are seeing some significant changes already.
Blizzard says that overall it is “quite happy with the performance of our classes,” but that Diablo 4 patch notes 1.0.2d aim to rebalance some classes to make their builds fairer, with buffs to abilities and nerfs to Paragon Glyphs coming into effect to help balance everything out. All of you with a Diablo 4 Necromancer build are going to love this, as there are quite a few buffs here.
“We generally want to avoid creating situations where players can survive unreasonably high amounts of damage for long periods of time because it too greatly warps our vision for how combat should be in Diablo 4,” Blizzard says, which explains why so many nerfs have come into play.
The Diablo 4 Barbarian has also seen the Gohr’s Devastating Grips unique item come back after Blizzard disabled it due to it being, well, just too good at just demolishing enemy packs.
The Diablo 4 Stolen Artifice quest is also disabled until the next hotfix, so you won’t be able to complete the Scosglen zone until it’s ready. As of right now, we’re unsure when it’ll be coming back.
