Diablo 4 June 4 Update: Full Patch Notes Listed
There’s been no shortage of hotfixes and error smoothing since Diablo IV was released a few days ago. But this is our first balance patch. And I have a feeling that many players are not going to be happy. Let’s get into it.
Hello wanderer!
We’ve made some balance adjustments to Classes and want to provide our reasoning behind them. Overall, we’re quite happy with the performance of our Classes, but we know there is always room for improvement. Our goal behind these changes is to create a better balanced and enjoyable experience across the board. Our updates fall into 3 categories:
An ideal we have carried throughout development and will uphold is that Class balance is a journey, not a destination. We want more Class builds to be fun, powerful, and competitive within reason.
Thank you all for supporting us, and we’ll see you in Sanctuary!
