Hot, fresh percentage changes to start off your Sunday.
Hello everyone, we're still two days from the release of Diablo 4 and I'm already tired to trying to keep up with class balance tweaks. It has been negative two days since launch, sorry, two days since early access launch for people who paid more and two days until proper launch and we've got our first patch and it's... almost entirely nerfs and buffs.
Most notably, Barbarians' Challenging Shout had its damage reduction per skill rank halved, while Rogues' Dark Shroud damage reduction per shadow per skill rank was also halved and sorcerers lost two seconds off of Shimmering Teleport's damage reduction. Several other Barbarian skills were nerfed, and their notable Gohr's Devastating Grips item was absolutely piledrivered into the dirt: Its Whirlwind explosion damage gained was reduced from 50-70% down to 16-26%.
Blizzard was very clear about their reasons for the patch, saying in the notes:"While we want players to both feel and be truly powerful, some Class builds and synergies are outside of our bounds for what is reasonable for the health of the game, so we are reducing their effectiveness.
Also, I found this bugfix very funny:"Fixed an issue where if a Sorcerer uses Deep Freeze and is affected by another effect that would freeze them, it caused them to be permanently stunned."posted last night on Blizzard's forums by community manager PezRadar about two hours before the patch itself launched.
While I understand the nature of live service games means that these tweaks feel urgent to many people, for my part, I hope this isn't the pace of balance updates we can expect from Diablo 4. Patches tweaking how skills work every two or three days will very, very rapidly become tiresome when every time you log in your character works differently. I can only hope that this whole damage reduction thing must have been a really urgent issue visible only from Blizzard's backend stats.
