The patch, available now for Diablo 4 gold all platforms, does many of the usual things you’d expect: addressing game crashes and stability issues, changing the spawn rate of certain monsters (like the money bag-holding treasure goblins, which will now appear less often in PvP areas), and fixing text problems. But the main thing the update does is tweak all five character classes, specifically nerfing four to make them a bit crummier while buffing Necromancer substantially. To the Barbarian, Druid, Rogue, and Sorcerer players out there, y’all are a little weaker now. Ouch.
The Barbarian, for example, has been hit with some of the worst nerfs. A few of its damage-dealing skills, like Aspect of the Dire Whirlwind and Challenging Shout, have had their power reduced. The same story is true of the Druid, which has had its damage-dealing and lucky hit chance abilities similarly reduced. Rogue and Sorcerer players have also been slammed, with many of the Rogue’s cooldown-reducing skills getting nerfed and the Sorcerer’s Teleport ability, a move that turns you into a fast-moving ball of buy Diablo IV gold lightning, seeing its damage reduction duration reduced. These are some pretty painful nerfs.
