DIABLO IV Patch Notes – Everything You Need To Know

Exciting new items with incredible powers have been discovered just in time for the Season of Blood. You can only get these special items by playing at World Tier IV in either the Eternal or Seasonal Realms.

Unique Items:

1. Tassets of the Dawning Sky (Generic Unique Pants): When you take damage that isn’t physical, you become more resistant to that type of damage for a short time.

2. Tuskhelm of Joritz the Mighty (Barbarian Unique Helm): If you get even angrier when you’re already enraged, you might get even more damage, Fury, and cooldown reduction.

3. Dolmen Stone (Druid Unique Amulet): When you use a move called Boulder while you have another move called Hurricane active, your boulders will start spinning around you.

4. Scoundrel’s Leathers (Rogue Unique Chest): When you have unlimited energy from a move called Inner Sight, your main abilities might create traps like Caltrops or Poison Traps.

5. Blood Moon Breeches (Necromancer Unique Pants): Your minions can sometimes curse your enemies, making them take more damage from your powerful attacks.

6. Blue Rose (Sorcerer Unique Ring): When you hurt an enemy, there’s a chance it will create an icy explosion. This chance is even higher if the enemy is frozen.

7. Godslayer Crown (Generic Unique Helm): When you stun, freeze, or immobilize a tough enemy or damage a boss, nearby enemies will be pulled in, and you’ll deal more damage to them for a short time.

8. Flickerstep (Generic Unique Boots): Every time you dodge an enemy’s attack, your most powerful move will be ready to use again sooner.

9. Tibault’s Will (Generic Unique Pants): You deal more damage when you’re unstoppable and for a few seconds after. When you become unstoppable, you get some of your main resource back.

10. X’Fal’s Corroded Signet (Generic Unique Ring): Your damage-over-time effects might explode and hurt nearby enemies.

11. Soulbrand (Unique Generic Chest): Instead of instantly healing you, your healing potion will give you a protective barrier for a short time. While you have this barrier, you take less damage.

12. Banished Lord’s Talisman (Unique Generic Amulet): After using a lot of your main resource, your next powerful move is guaranteed to be extra powerful and hurt your enemies more.

Legendary Aspects:

1. Aspect of Slaughter (Generic Mobility Aspect): This aspect makes you move faster by 20%, but if you get hit, you lose this speed boost for a short time (2.5-5 seconds).

2. Aspect of Elements (Generic Offensive Aspect): This aspect boosts your damage by 20-30% against certain types of enemies for 7 seconds. It switches between two sets of damage types: Fire, Lightning, and Physical, and Cold, Poison, and Shadow.

3. Wanton Rupture Aspect (Barbarian Offensive Aspect): Your Rupture attack won’t stop the Bleeding damage on your enemies. This happens once every 30-40 seconds.

4. Raw Might Aspect (Druid Offensive Aspect): After you hit 15 enemies with your Werebear Skills, your next Werebear Skill will deal more damage (30-50%) and stun enemies for 2 seconds.

5. Aspect of Artful Initiative (Rogue Offensive Aspect): When you spend 100 Energy, you release a cluster of exploding Stun Grenades that deal damage and stun enemies for a short time (0.5 seconds). Your Grenade Skills also deal more damage (15%).

6. Aspect of the Long Shadow (Necromancer Offensive Aspect): With this aspect, your Shadow Damage Over Time effects have a chance (10-30%) to generate Essence, which is important for your abilities. Damage from your Shadowblight Key Passive will always generate 2 Essence.

7. Battle Caster’s Aspect (Sorcerer Offensive Aspect): This aspect gives you a chance (30-40%) to increase the power of your Conjuration Skills when they hit. This can stack up to 3 times and lasts for 12 seconds.

Paragon Glyphs

Barbarian:

1. Twister: When you invest in Strength, your Dust Devils deal more damage. Additionally, you deal extra damage for a short time after creating a Dust Devil.

2. Desecration: As you gain more Willpower, your Desecrated Ground deals more damage. When you’re standing in this ground, you deal extra Shadow Damage to your enemies.

Rogue:

1. Explosive: When you boost your Dexterity, your Stun Grenades deal more damage. Using a Stun Grenade also temporarily reduces the damage you take.

Gameplay Updates:

• We’ve added a sound cue to let you know when you’re near something you can climb, like a ladder or a broken bridge you can jump over.

Items:

Enchant Costs:

• The cost to enchant items is now determined based on a combination of the item’s power and type rather than its sell value. This means that for Rare items, the initial enchant cost might be higher, but the subsequent costs will rise much more slowly than before. For Legendary items, enchant costs will generally be reduced.

Gems:

Elixirs:

• The drop rate of elixirs has been decreased. The previous 0.5% chance of dropping from any monster is now only 0.02%.
• This change is meant to reduce the clutter in your Consumable Inventory tab and encourage players to interact more deliberately with the elixirs they craft.

Whisper Caches:

• Whisper Caches will now always reward items specific to the equipment slot, instead of random items.
• The drop chance of the Scroll of Escape has been lowered from 0.1% to 0.025%.

  • Ancestral: Previous Range: 725–820, New Range: 780–925
• The item power range now depends on the level. For example, Sacred items at level 70 will have a power range of 655–730.

Forgotten Souls:

• You can now obtain Forgotten Souls by salvaging items. The chances are as follows:
  • Salvaging a Sacred item has a 5% chance to grant a Forgotten Soul.
  • Salvaging an Ancestral item has a 10% chance to grant a Forgotten Soul.
  • Two-handed weapons can grant up to 2 Forgotten Souls from salvage, while all other equipment types can grant 1.

Loot Adjustments per World Tier:

• In World Tiers I and II, the loot remains unchanged.
• In World Tier III, only Legendary, Unique, Uber Unique, and Sacred Rare items will drop. You’ll receive extra crafting resources instead.

Rogue:

1. When Rogues use the Grasp of Shadow skill to create a Shadow Clone and cast Rain of Arrows, the Shadow Clone will now correctly apply Imbuement, just like it’s supposed to.

2. Before, male Rogues had trouble moving while reviving another player unless they used the Evade skill. But now, this issue is fixed.

3. There was a problem where enemies could target Rogues even when they were supposed to be hidden with Concealment. This is now resolved.

4. An issue with energy counting towards Preparation was fixed. Now, if you use a Marksman Core skill and then a Cutthroat Basic Skill, it will properly count the energy spent.

5. Rogues had an issue where objects like breakable items and critters were counted as enemies when using Improved and Enhanced Penetrating Shot. This is no longer a problem.

6. The Energizing Aspect used to generate energy when hitting certain non-elite enemies like breakable objects. This behavior has been corrected.

7. Sometimes, when Rogues fired arrows using the Volley skill, the arrows would go in the wrong direction if they were near a wall. This bug is fixed.

8. The tooltip for the Aspect of Bursting Venoms wrongly said it was triggered by critical strikes. In reality, any Poison-imbued skills dealing damage would activate it.

9. The Enshrouding Aspect wasn’t consistently granting Dark Shroud stacks when standing still for three or more seconds. This inconsistency is resolved.

10. An issue where the Shadow Clone created by Grasp of Shadow didn’t complete a Cast of Twisting Blades has been fixed.

3. A problem where Deep Freeze could be used while moving on a horse by mounting it immediately after casting Deep Freeze is fixed.

4. Challenge trackers for killing enemies with specific Elemental skills weren’t tracking correctly. This is resolved.

5. The Embers from Flamescar could have excessive Critical Strike damage when using the Elementalist Aspect. This issue is fixed.

6. Gaining damage from the Winter Glyph was inconsistent, but now it’s working properly.

7. The Aspect of Static Cling used to increase the Mana cost of Charged Bolts, but it shouldn’t. This bug is fixed.

8. Tooltips for Ball Lightning and the Enhanced Ball Lightning upgrade now correctly display the damage.

9. Some ranged skills used by players didn’t hit an enemy they teleported directly to, and some ranged attacks against the player by that enemy also didn’t hit. This issue is now resolved.

10. Frost Nova wasn’t counting as a cooldown spell for certain effects, but it should. This bug is fixed.

11. The bonus from Esu’s Ferocity was applying as a bonus to all damage instead of just Critical Strike damage. This has been corrected.

12. The bonus duration from Mage’s Blizzard didn’t work correctly for casts of Blizzard that were made above 50 Mana but still took the player’s Mana below 50. This is fixed.

13. Temporary movement speed increases now contribute to the Critical Strike chance increase from Esu’s Heirloom.

14. The tooltip for Ice Blades now properly updates Lucky Hit Chance.
