In the meantime, the start of Season of the Malignant has come with its own issues. The patch notes for update 1.1.0b also made it so Malignant Hearts always grant armor that directly maps with their item power. A small update made today has now removed that requirement. The reduction to the Barbarian skill in particular was felt to make a lot of the class’ endgame builds redundant.Īnother of the controversial changes made was to introduce level requirements for World Tier III (level 40) and IV (level 60).

Of the class nerfs in the patch, the Barbarian Hammer of the Ancients, Druid Werewolf Shred, Necromancer Bone Spear, and Sorcerer Ice Shard were the skills that were hit the hardest. The Diablo 4 Season 1 update, which was released on July 18, made a swath of changes in preparation for the start of Season of the Malignant.
