In Season 7 of Diablo 4, the new patch 2.1.3 is coming, bringing several buffs for sorceresses, as well as for the witch powers. We summarize the highlights from the patch notes for you.
Here are the highlights from the patch:
- The upcoming patch 2.1.3 buffs some witch powers that represent the seasonal mechanic in the current Season 7. Primarily, Blizzard increases the damage of the skills here.
- The classes also receive buffs in the form of improved skills and uniques.
- Additionally, the developers strengthen the conduit shrine. Blizzard intends to increase the damage buff for Torment 3 by 37 times. The shrine regularly receives criticism from the community because the once strong buff is now basically useless. Some say: The shrine is “worse than 1 million stubbed toes.”
The patch also brings some bug fixes. The Patch 2.1.3 will go live on Tuesday, March 4, 2025. That evening, the “March of Goblins” event will kick off as well. You can find the detailed English patch notes on page 2 of the article. As soon as they are available in German, we will update the article.
The witch powers are the mechanic in Season 7 of Diablo 4. The video introduces you to the witches of Hawezar in under a minute:
Buffs for Sorceresses, Druids, and Rogues
Which classes receive buffs? The patch brings buffs for various classes in Diablo 4. Especially the sorceresses benefit here, as the patch increases, among other things, the damage for the “Ball Lightning” skill. The build around this skill is currently in the lower tiers of the tier list of the strongest endgame builds in Season 7.
Additionally, the explosion of the unique leg armor “Axial Connection” scales with the ranks of the Chain Lightning skill. The damage of the unique focus “Strike of Stormhorn” is also higher and scales with the ranks of “Ball Lightning.”
The strength of the shadow infusion of the rogue through the unique boots “Assassin’s Stride” will also be increased. But there are also a few improvements for the druid. For instance, the damage of the Aspect of Wolfstorm is increased per wolf. With the unique axe “Waxing Moon,” the inherent critical damage is replaced by a 50% chance for “Bleed” to deal double damage.
What happens to the witch powers? Blizzard buffs some witch powers by increasing the damage of the skills. The following skills receive a buff:
- Growth: Damage per rank increased from 1% to 2.5%, maximum increased from 45% to 75%.
- Doom Orb: Damage bonus on kills and against bosses increased from 5% to 8%, maximum damage increased from 100% to 160%.
- Firebat Servants: Damage per hit increased from 20% to 40%.
- Wave of Woe: Bounce damage increased from 15% to 25%.
- Hex of Flames: Damage increased from 40% to 60%.
- Poison Frog: Total poison damage per rank increased from 40% to 90%. Total explosion damage per rank increased from 50% to 120%.
