Blizzard has revealed major buffs for all Diablo 4 classes during the Season 6 mid-season campfire chat, including increases to damage, legendary enhancements, attack speed bonuses, and more. In addition to these class buffs, new content and quality-of-life improvements will be introduced to Diablo 4 in the upcoming mid-season patch.

Diablo 4 is an action RPG by Blizzard Entertainment, set in the dark, demon-filled world of Sanctuary. Players have to pick from five unique character classes, each featuring its own style and abilities. The Barbarian is a melee fighter, using multiple weapons for significant physical damage. The Druid can shapeshift into creatures and control earth and storm magic. The Sorcerer casts elemental spells but isn’t very durable. The Rogue combines stealth and precision with ranged or melee attacks. Lastly, the Necromancer raises the dead and balances life and death magic. All five classes are set to receive major buffs.

As revealed during the Season 6 mid-season campfire chat, Blizzard has decided not to nerf Diablo 4’s Spiritborn class this season due to its high popularity. Instead, it’s boosting other classes to keep things balanced and plans to wait until Season 7 to make any big changes to Spiritborn. The Barbarian is getting several buffs to improve close-range combat. Skills like Upheaval, Hammer of the Ancients, and Double Swing will now deal more damage, making Barbarians even stronger. For Druids, critical skills and passives are being improved. Lupine Ferocity will get a higher critical strike bonus and more damage against wounded foes, and the One with Nature passive will also get a boost.

Diablo 4 Is Introducing Major Buffs to All of Its Classes

Diablo 4’s Rogues will get boosts to key skills like Penetrating Shot and Flurry to increase damage. Passives like Victimize and Precision will also be upgraded, letting Rogues deal more damage, especially against vulnerable enemies. While the Spiritborn class isn’t seeing major changes, a few skills like Razor Wings, Withering Fist, and Toxin Skin are getting small improvements to encourage more diverse playstyles without overpowering the class.

All basic skills and some passives are getting enhancements for Necromancers, including an attack speed boost to the Decompose skill. Items like Mortacrux and Howl from Below will also be improved. Finally, Sorceress will see changes to her fire-based build. Core abilities like the Combustion and Avalanche passives will scale better, boosting damage, and the new legendary aspects now scale based on Charged Bolts and Incinerate damage.

In addition to updating all Diablo 4 classes, Blizzard is improving some core gameplay elements like Shrines, Rune Words, and Ancestral items. The update will also bring back the Red Cloak Horror and Mother’s Blessing events. Plus, returning players will receive a free character boost to level 50, along with all unlocked Altars of Lilith. These upcoming changes aim to make Diablo 4 even more balanced and engaging, with the full mid-season patch notes set to be released on November 15.
