Diablo 4 version 1.025 Patch Notes – November 7, 2023

Gameplay Updates:

• New Unique Rings: Five new Unique Rings have been introduced, each tailored to enhance the abilities of a specific class. These rings draw inspiration from the most favored Malignant Powers featured in the “Season of the Malignant” and are now accessible for players in both Seasonal and Eternal realms of the game.
  • Ring of Red Furor (Barbarian): When a Barbarian expends 100 Fury within a 3-second window, their next use of either Hammer of the Ancients, Upheaval, or Death Blow will not only be a guaranteed Critical Strike but also inflict additional damage ranging from 10% to 30%, which is calculated multiplicatively, enhancing the Critical Strike Damage further.
  • Tal Rasha’s Iridescent Loop (Sorcerer): Sorcerers will benefit from a damage boost of 10% to 15% for each distinct type of Elemental damage they deal. This increased damage effect lasts for 4 seconds and can be refreshed with each instance of Elemental damage dealt, encouraging diverse elemental attacks.
  • Airidah’s Inexorable Will (Druid): Druids casting an Ultimate Skill will pull in distant enemies both at the time of casting and again after 5 seconds, inflicting physical damage between 0.5 to 1.0. This damage scales up by 1% for every point of Willpower the Druid has, rewarding high Willpower builds.
  • Writhing Band of Trickery (Rogue): When Rogues use a Subterfuge Skill, they leave behind a Decoy Trap that taunts and attracts enemies. After 3 seconds, the trap explodes, dealing 2.0 to 3.0 Shadow damage. This effect can be triggered once every 12 seconds, adding a strategic layer to combat.
  • Ring of the Sacrilegious Soul (Necromancer): Necromancers will find that this ring automates the activation of certain skills on nearby corpses. Raise Skeleton and Corpse Explosion will activate every 1 to 2 seconds, while Corpse Tendrils will trigger every 8 to 16 seconds, enhancing the Necromancer’s control over the battlefield.

Season of Blood Adjustments:

• Sanguine Battery Event: The event has been fine-tuned with an increase in pillar health from 75% to 85%, making them sturdier. Additionally, the time required to repair these pillars has been reduced from 3 seconds to just 1 second, allowing for quicker recovery during the event.
