Diablo 4: Buff Patch 1.1.1 is coming – what is known
This is the basic data for patch 1.1.1: At Campfire, Blizzard announced the first details about the big patch that should save Season 1. The full patch notes will be available on August 2nd, but the main points of interest are already known. It has already been revealed that the patch will be released on August 8th. Here you can learn all about when Patch 1.1.1 update in Diablo 4 Season 1.
These are the most important modifications: The bottom line is that there are real fireworks. All classes receive at least a buff of some kind and the multiple power nerfs that Diablo 4 made for Season 1 should be compensated for. Here is an overview of the most important modifications:
- Monster Density Increase: Monster density is set up properly. So you are likely to encounter more opponents in the dungeons. This also has an effect on your XP farming, because more monsters also generate more XP
- Buffs on bosses: The bottom line is that bosses should have more lives and be more difficult to defeat. This should be especially interesting towards the end of the game, because you still have a little challenge here. It also gives you more rewards from battles. From level 35, for example, it is guaranteed to drop the Legendary.
- Buff in Witch: Here the advantages must be improved and thus the disadvantages of the witch must be compensated. Glass Cannon describes the class well – it does damage quickly, but also deals massive damage. Defense must be strengthened here.
- Buff in Barbarian: Here resource generation is improved, as well as unique. However, perhaps the biggest damage here is bleeding damage – which is properly enhanced.
- POV in Hunter: There are somewhat fewer mods here, but above all, skills that are currently rarely used are honed. This can make them very interesting.
- buff in priest: There are mods for mana generation and the early game. Thus the first levels can be reached more easily
- Buff in Necromancer: Here the developers were still well covered. Shadow damage should be increased slightly. But there is not much to report.
- Pet enthusiasts: Your comrades will also be slightly modified. Monsters should do less damage to pets, and a necromancer in particular should be made more playable
- Remove stickers: 3 plasters will be removed with the patch. These include burning resources, cold magic, and more damage from behind.
this is important: These ads are not final yet. The bottom line is that Blizzard wants to address exactly the above points. However, there may be something changing here and there in detail.
Diablo 4: Patch 1.1.1 is supposed to save Season 1 – what do fans say about it?
Here are the first reactions: The majority of reactions to Blizzard’s Campfire have been positive. The patch is already being celebrated on reddit. It says, among other things, “Well, that’s how the game should go” or “A full page is a huge win.” However, there are also doubts that everything will go smoothly in the first season after this patch.
It remains to be seen how the August 8 patch will actually affect Season 1. The mood in the community has been positive so far. Until then, you should check out this Season 1 Level List: Diablo 4: Build Tier List – Best Skills for Leveling and Endgame in Season 1
