Amazon

Javelin and Spear Skills:

  • First up, the Amazon’s Melee skill synergies are being buffed. Affected skills are Power Strike, Charged Strike and Lightning Strike. 
  • Impale in particular, will now be uninterruptible and will always hit its targets. 
  • Fend will have its attack speed increased by 100%.
  • Lastly, Plague Javelin’s numbers have been improved to make it more distinct from Poison Javelin.

Passive and Magic Skills:

  • Few passive skills have received minor buffs.
  • Inner Sight and Slow Missiles’ radius were increased by about 35%.
  • Slow Missiles now scales per level instead of it being a fixed rate.
  • Dodge and Avoid skills animation can now be interrupted to perform other actions, making combat feel more fluid.

Bow and Crossbow Skills:

  • Freezing Arrow, Magic Arrow, Guided Arrow and Strafe receive minor damage or mana cost buffs to make them more usable.
  • Fire Arrow, Exploding Arrow and Immolation Arrow are getting major buffs. Their overall mana costs have been reduced. Damage scaling was also improved, especially at higher skill levels to be more useful in Nightmare and Hell Difficulty

 

Assassin

Martial Arts:

  • The Martial Arts resource system, combo points and finishers are getting a major change. Instead of a Finishing Move consuming all 3 combo charges, it will now only use 1.  This should make resource management a lot easier. 
  • Dragon Talon, Dragon Claw, Dragon Tail and Dragon Flight are all being buffed as they always hit their targets as long as the Assassin has a Martial Arts charge. Their damage is being increased as well.
  • Combo skills Claws of Thunder, Blades of Ice, Tiger Strike, Cobra Strike and Phoenix Strike will all get attack rate improvements for smoother gameplay.

Shadow Disciplines:

  • The Shadow Disciplines skills are already widely used and generally effective so no major buffs were warranted.
  • Venom’s duration scaling was changed to be consistent with the duration of Bust of Speed and Fade.
  • Shadow Warrior and Shadow Master casting delays reduced from 6 seconds to 0.6 seconds, and no longer share a cooldown with other skills with cast delay.

Traps:

  • The reliance on Death Sentry synergies was removed from multiple traps.
  • Fire traps such as Fire Blast, Wake of Fire and Wake of Inferno are being rebalanced to be more effective at higher difficulties.
  • Blade Sentinel, Blade Fury and Blade Shield receive major buffs to make dedicated builds around these skills.

 

Barbarian

Warcries:

  • These skills are generally getting quality of life changes, such as updating tooltips to show hidden skill mechanics.
  • Grim Ward also Slows and Increases Damage Taken from enemies, added Synergy for the skill Find Potion.

Combat Masteries:

  • As mentioned before, Throwing Barbarians should be more viable now.
  • Throwing Mastery added a chance for projectiles to pierce.

Combat Skills:

  • Leap and Leap Attack animation speeds increased by 75% to make it feel more responsive.
  • Leap Attack also received multiple damage and attack rating buffs.
  • Double Throw increased damage bonus.
  • Frenzy’s synergy with Increased Stamina skill to add the duration.

 

Druid

Elemental Skills:

  • Flames are the main focus of the Druid’s Elemental skills.
  • Fire skills such as Firestorm, Molten Boulder, Fissure, Volcano and Armageddon have their Casting Delays tweaked and will not share cooldowns with other skills.
  • Physical Damage components of certain skills had their scaling improved to make them viable alternate damage sources. This will make them more useful against fire immune enemies particularly in Hell difficulty.
  • Cyclone Armor and Hurricane buffs can now be cast in Werewolf or Werebear form, thereby removing the need to switch forms to maintain the buffs.

Shape Shifting Skills:

  • Werewolf and Werebear forms get changes to attack speed. Base attack speed should now match the druid’s natural form.
  • Previously, the morphed forms had lower base attack speed. This should make them attack faster and feel more responsive. Werewolf skills Rabies and Fury have gained Attack Rating Improvements.
  • Werebear skills Maul, Shock Wave and Fire Claws received damage buffs.

Druid Summoning Skills:

  • All summons are getting standardized health values instead of being random.
  • Spirit Summons Oak Sage, Heart of the Wolverine and Spirit of Barbs are getting a flat 25% Physical Damage Resistances across all difficulties to aid in their survivability.
  • Raven damage scaling improved greatly and synergies were added. However, the number of hits they can do is being reduced to 5 and no longer increases per level.
  • Wolf Summons are getting damage buffs to further their role as the damage-dealing summons.
  • Creeper Summons have their functions buffed to be more worthy to invest skill points in.

 

Necromancer

Necromancer Summoning Spells:

  • Skeletal Mage is getting significant buffs as it is the most under-utilized summoning skill. Aside from a minor health increase, Poison, Cold and Lightning damages have been buffed across the board.
  • Blood Golem and Fire Golem have their damage increased.
  • Iron Golem’s Thorns ability now has more consistent damage.

Poison and Bone Spells:

  • Bone Spear and Bone Spirit receive minor buffs to their synergies to reward investing in the Bone Skills.
  • Bone Armor will now absorb a bit more damage.

Curses:

  • Weaken’s damage reduction now scales based on level.

 

Paladin

Defensive Auras:

  • Tooltips updated to show the hidden functionality of the aura that increases Maximum Resist Bonus.

Offensive Auras:

  • Damaging auras such as Holy Fire, Holy Freeze, Holy Shock and Sanctuary now deal damage based on distance from the caster. The damage will range from 100% from the farthest range to 200% when the target is right beside the caster.
  • Thorns is being updated to now deal a flat damage value instead of percentage-based. The player will now deal thorns damage after an enemy attempts to attack them, not after they get hit. This should make Thorns usage less risky and more consistent. The change also affects the Druid’s Spirit of Barbs and Necromancer’s Iron Golem.

Combat Skills:

  • Holy Bolt’s damage is increased by 50% but loses Blessed Hammer Synergy. It will now also pierce targets to make it more viable.
  • Fist of Heavens also gets the changes of Holy Bolt and have less Casting Delay to make it more viable.

Mercenray Changes

Hiring a Mercenary in Expansion mode will now always offer mercenaries that match your character's Level, instead of having a randomized Level difference from your character's Level.

Act 1 - Rogue Scouts: 

  • Updated each stat/skill gains in each difficulty to match so that there is no disadvantage of leveling up a Hell difficulty mercenary versus a Normal difficulty mercenary.  The Rogue Scout is getting new flavored ranged skills that will scale as she levels up. These new skills should improve her AoE (Area of Effect) damage effectiveness and thus make her a more effective ranged damage dealer.

Act 2 - Desert Mercenary:

  • Updated each stat/skill gains in each difficulty to match so that there is no disadvantage of leveling up a Hell difficulty mercenary versus a Normal difficulty mercenary.
  • Nightmare and Hell difficulty now have all 6 different aura types available from the Hire menu, instead of separating them out by 3 per difficulty. Normal is unchanged.
  • The Desert Mercenary is already popular, but Blizzard saw an opportunity to add some quality-of-life improvements by allowing players to hire all six different Aura types in Nightmare and Hell difficulty, rather than having to switch between modes. With the general improvements to “Thorns,” they wanted to improve the level scaling to make this aura mercenary type more meaningful.

Act 3 - Iron Wolf:

  • Updated each stat/skill gains in each difficulty to match so that there is no disadvantage of leveling up a Hell difficulty mercenary versus a Normal difficulty mercenary.
  • Life baseline and scaling increased by about 25% (Now has Life similar to the Rogue Scout)
  • Defense baseline and scaling increased by about 40% (Now has defense closer to the Rogue Scout)
  • Resistances baseline and scaling increased by about 20% (Now has the highest resistances baseline compared to other mercenaries)
  • The Iron Wolves are great elemental sorcerers, but we saw they have been underperforming in higher difficulties. Blizzard improved their core stats so that they are more in line with other mercenaries while also having a distinct advantage with having the most resistance values. For skills, they wanted to embrace their elemental fantasies, so they decid to give new flavorful utility skills, to further incentivize reasons to want to use these mercenary types.

Act 5 - Barbarian Warriors: 

  • Updated each stat/skill gains in each difficulty to match so that there is no disadvantage of leveling up a Hell difficulty mercenary versus a Normal difficulty mercenary.
  • Life baseline scaling increased (Now has the most life compared to other mercenaries)
  • Defense baseline and scaling increased and the scaling at higher levels was reduced (Now has the highest defense baseline compared to other mercenaries)
  • Bash level scaling increased and will no longer be capped at level 80
  • Stun level scaling increased and will no longer be capped at level 80
  • Added Battle Cry
  • Now the Barbarian Warrior has more identity while still maintaining his Barbarian fantasy. In addition, Blizzard wanted to increase his Life and Defense scaling to ensure that he is the tougher mercenary type.

The New Runewords

New additions for Diablo 2: Resurrected’s 2.4 Patch

Unbending Will

First up we have the Runeword Unbending Will. The relatively higher level requirement and the fact that this can only be placed in the Sword weapon type limits the options for use. It looks like only a 6 socketed Colossus Blade can fit the bill. It is the weapon with the highest base damage and exactly at the level 63 rune requirement. Having +330% enhanced damage is a huge boon to the Colossus Blade’s already high base damage.

However, as the item does not have a large Increased Attack Speed stat, it will likely fall out of favour for Whirlwind Barbarians who need a lot of this.
Additionally, since Unbending Will has a chance for the wielder to cast Level 18 Taunt, it can be ideal to put on a tanky mercenary. A Taunt at this skill level means affected targets lose a substantial 39% Damage and Attack Rating. The most likely candidate would be the Act V Barbarians, as the Desert Mercenaries can only use spears. This is in line with the previous developer blog stating that the team wanted to buff the underused mercenaries.

Rune Order: Fal + IoIth + Eld + El + Hel’
Required Level: 63

Mist

the Mist Runeword looks to give the much-needed buffs to bows and crossbows. Blizzard has confirmed that they do intend to buff the skills related to these weapons, so a new Runeword set makes sense as well. The +3 to All Skills, Increased Attack Speed and a large increase to base Damage are already good features. However, we also get a large increase in elemental resistances, a chance to freeze and pierce targets.

Lastly, this also looks like it’s giving an indirect buff to the Act I mercenary, the Rogue Scouts. They are the only hireling that can use a bow. Equipping mist will grant them a Level 9 Concentration Aura, which gives them enhanced utility comparable to the Desert Mercenary. This gives allies within a 21.3-yard radius a whopping +180% bonus damage.

Rune Order: Cham + Shael + Gul + Thul + Ith
Required Level: Level 9 Concentration Aurs when equipped

Wisdom

Wisdom looks like a very good levelling item that can help out Amazons greatly in the early game. Perhaps something like a Plague Javelin Amazon will make good use of this Runeword. It has a ton of mana-regenerating effects, such as Mana Steal, Mana After Kill. The only downside is that some of the damage taken detracts from your Mana pool. Like Mist earlier, it also has a Pierce Attack, though is limited to 33% instead of 100%.

Rune Order: Pul + Ith + Eld
Required Level: 64

Pattern

While Pattern is not a new Runeword (it has been in the game files since version 1.11), it has been unusable. This Assassin specific Runeword adds a complete set of Elemental Damage. You can burn, shock, freeze and poison your foes all at the same time. As the bonuses are rather small compared to the other Runewords featured today, we can assume that this is a very early game set to be used for levelling an Assassin as well.

Rune Order: Tal + Ort + Thul
Required Level: 23

 

Horadric Cube Recipes

  • New Horadric Cube Recipes, Set Item changes, and new Runewords are on the horizon! New Horadric Cube Recipes being implemented will allow for upgrading the item quality of Set Items to give more item build possibilities. Set Item changes will update underperforming Set Items, to have more bonuses, giving players more incentive to pursue Partial and Full set items that can complement the skill changes alluded above. Lastly, new Runewords will be added to complement the Skill and Mercenary changes coming in the update.

 

Set Item Bonus Changes

Many improvements have been made to Set items that are generally underused by players. These will offer more reasons to equip multiple of these Set pieces and to give some Sets new capabilities to make them stand out more, which further fuels more build diversity.

Ranked Ladder

Like Diablo II Classic, Diablo II: Resurrected will feature four different Ladder modes, including:

  • Standard Ladder: The casual version of Ladder play that encompasses playing with four acts.
  • Hardcore Ladder: The hardcore (only 1 life) version of Ladder play that encompasses playing with four acts.
  • Standard Expansion Ladder: The casual version of Ladder play that encompasses playing five acts, as it includes the “Lord of Destruction” expansion content.
  • Hardcore Expansion Ladder: The hardcore (only 1 life) version of Ladder play that encompasses playing five acts, as it includes the “Lord of Destruction” expansion content.

For the first time, players will have the chance to unlock a host of new Runewords in the Ladder system! To be clear, these Runewords have never existed in the game before, and they will not be accessible in non-Ladder play like the previous set of Ladder-only Runewords in the original Diablo II experience. At the end of a Ladder season, players who successfully made these Runewords will have their Ladder characters be moved into a “non-Ladder” version of the game. Then at the beginning of the next Ladder season, players will make a new Ladder character and start all over again to earn new rewards.
