Yesterday, on February 29, 2024, there was another Campfire for Diablo 4. Some upcoming changes were presented, especially affecting the classes. One class is particularly impacted, as it will simply be made 20% stronger.
In yesterday’s Campfire, Blizzard presented upcoming changes for Diablo 4. The classes got a big spotlight, as some will receive buffs. The Necromancer benefits particularly from these buffs. The overall damage of the minions will be buffed by 20%.
Additionally, there are the following buffs for the Necromancer, which are summarized on Wowhead :
- The life of the minions will be increased by 10%
- The damage bonus of Hellbent Commander will be increased to 15/30/45%
- Cult Leader: Legendary node will be increased to 15% per 20% attack speed
- Corporal Glyph is changed: You and your minions deal 10% [x] increased physical damage and you gain 1% movement speed for each active minion
- In Season 4, even more buffs for minions are expected
Core skills and some underutilized passive skills are also expected to be buffed. For more details about the other classes, you can find them here: The developers finally talk about the most important feature of Diablo 4: Leaderboards and when they are coming
On reddit, the community discusses the planned changes. Especially the changes to the Necromancer are the reason for joy for many players who can finally play a minion Necromancer in Season 4.
- Capn-Zack:
The companions/minions needed the love and it sounds like even more is coming.
- CaptainCasey85:
I have decided not to play a Necro minion build until Season 4. Can’t wait!
- DaftWarrior:
Good changes. Now my Necro might actually be a Necro instead of an emo wizard.
Despite the excitement, many users hope for even more buffs for the minions so that the Summoner Necro feels useful. The Companion Druid also receives a bit of love in the planned buffs. Especially his companions have the problem of not being able to withstand or deal enough damage.
The buffs for the two Summoner classes are definitely important for the community. On the tier list for Diablo 4, the summoner builds of the Druid and the Necromancer occupy the last place.
More detailed information about the next patch will follow in the coming days. There will also be more precise numbers regarding the planned buffs. Patch 1.3.3 will be released on March 5. In addition to the new class changes, a mechanic from Season 2 is making a comeback, which was popular among many players: Diablo 4 brings back cool vampire skills from Season 2 – here’s how to get them
