| 1118s | in the season of Witchcraft the tree is |
| 1120s | missing some of its heads which spoilers |
| 1123s | is actually a big |
| 1125s | deal someone has stolen heads from the |
| 1128s | Tree of Whispers And it is the |
| 1129s | wanderer's role to discover the mystery |
| 1132s | behind who is taking the heads and to |
| 1134s | what end as you progress through the |
| 1136s | story line you work with the coven and |
| 1139s | in exchange for your help they will give |
| 1142s | you their own powers and then you can |
| 1144s | utilize these powers in season of |
| 1146s | Witchcraft if you're not familiar the |
| 1148s | tree of Whispers is this ancient tree |
| 1150s | with heads you can come and ask for |
| 1152s | favors from the tree itself but it will |
| 1154s | ask for something in return notoriously |
| 1157s | no one has been able to get out of their |
| 1159s | deal with the tree of Whispers until |
| 1162s | now who is it that's been freeing these |
| 1164s | heads from the Tree of Whispers And what |
| 1166s | are the fugitive heads themselves trying |
| 1168s | to accomplish now that they're free from |
| 1170s | the tree and these stolen heads are |
| 1172s | scattered all around Sanctuary causing |
| 1175s | chaos and spreading strange rot taking |
| 1178s | over the bodies of the living head |
| 1180s | rotten are what happens when a head from |
| 1183s | the Tree of Whispers attempts to graft |
| 1185s | itself onto an already living creature |
| 1187s | to reclaim that life they retain some of |
| 1189s | the trees's power brambles and Roots |
| 1191s | grow along the inside of these creatures |
| 1194s | bursting out and causing them to |
| 1196s | essentially have a head detach and they |
| 1199s | don't mind sacrificing their living |
| 1201s | victims in their pursuit to live again |
| 1203s | during the course of the season of |
| 1204s | Witchcraft you're going to work with |
| 1206s | different witches to help solve the |
| 1208s | mystery of the missing heads The Witches |
| 1211s | of howar are a covenant of witches and |
| 1215s | chose to serve the tree of Whispers in |
| 1217s | exchange for its power at this point |
| 1220s | hatred is spreading all throughout |
| 1221s | sanctuary and for the first time it's |
| 1224s | managed to launch an attack at the tree |
| 1226s | of Whispers And though the tree is still |
| 1228s | standing it's definitely worse for wear |
| 1230s | and the witches that are bound to the |
| 1232s | tree have to set things right |
| 1235s | investigate hunt down these heads and |
| 1238s | through gathering strength in their |
| 1240s | witch powers to deal with the |
| 1241s | encroaching threat they will be able to |
| 1243s | uncover what the mystery is in exchange |
| 1246s | for your help the witches are offering |
| 1248s | you their witch powers and this season |
| 1251s | you're going to be able to tap into |
| 1252s | three major categories of Witchcraft |
| 1255s | power una has eldrich powers which are |
| 1258s | tied to to the cycle of life and death |
| 1261s | alridge powers are the witch's form of |
| 1263s | dealing damage directly to enemies in |
| 1265s | the form of fire damage burning damage |
| 1268s | Shadow damage Galena has power over |
| 1271s | psyche which is illusion and seeing the |
| 1274s | Unseen powers of the mind will and soul |
| 1277s | and they're the ones that protect you in |
| 1279s | battle growth and Decay powers are |
| 1281s | powers of the swamp Kaden deals with the |
| 1283s | Body Disease and puses familiars they're |
| 1286s | the ones that decay your enemies and |
| 1289s | heal you in battle so you might be going |
| 1291s | for a fire Sorcerers for example and |
| 1294s | decide that you want to have ancient |
| 1296s | mystical frogs helping you in some way |
| 1298s | these are going to be things that you're |
| 1299s | going to play with to get new levels of |
| 1302s | power and unique builds that really are |
| 1304s | special to just this season every class |
| 1306s | can use every Power for every build |
| 1309s | there is also lost witchcraft power that |
| 1311s | can be found while you're adventuring |
| 1313s | this is a special witchcraft power that |
| 1315s | exist outside the purview of traditional |
| 1318s | witchcraft power so as players progress |
| 1320s | through the storyline and they complete |
| 1322s | Whispers they will earn a seasonal |
| 1324s | currency this seasonal currency is used |
| 1326s | to one purchase witch powers and also |
| 1329s | upgrade your wecraft powers an example |
| 1331s | of an eldrich power would be a new power |
| 1334s | Doom orb an ominous orb of pure eldrich |
| 1338s | energy that circles you and burns |
| 1340s | enemies with fire damage Doom orb gets |
| 1342s | stronger as you slay enemies and will |
| 1343s | eventually explode dor will also launch |
| 1347s | itself at enemies if no enemies are near |
| 1350s | you so we do have some returning fan |
| 1353s | favorites coming back in season |
| 1355s | witchcraft players who are fans of our |
| 1358s | franchise will remember some of these |
| 1359s | powers are from Diablo II specifically |
| 1362s | the witch doctor firebats is returning |
| 1365s | from Diablo II those who have played the |
| 1367s | witch doctor also remember the hex skill |
| 1369s | the toad of hugeness however it's been |
| 1372s | reimagined for Diablo 4 in season of |
| 1374s | Witchcraft this is the poison frog |
| 1376s | servant I just think it's adorable and I |
| 1378s | want to having a murderous pet frog |
| 1380s | follow me through sanctuary of all the |
| 1382s | Witchcraft Powers something tells me |
| 1384s | that players are probably going to be |
| 1386s | the most excited about piran it's |
| 1389s | effectively a whirlwind of water and |
| 1392s | chomping piranhas that will just shred |
| 1393s | your enemies to pieces and yes it does |
| 1396s | pull enemies towards |
| 1398s | it so players will be unlocking and |
| 1401s | upgrading their various witchcraft |
| 1403s | Powers through performing head hunts |
| 1405s | you're going to see that there's an area |
| 1407s | in the world where the tree of whisp |
| 1409s | has detected fugitive heads the head |
| 1411s | rotten are there you need to go hunt |
| 1413s | them down when they interact with other |
| 1415s | monsters in the world of sanctuary best |
| 1417s | case scenario they horrifically corrupt |
| 1420s | that monster to become a new headless |
| 1421s | form of itself worst case they actually |
| 1424s | a fix themselves to a monster and become |
| 1428s | a new boss-like entity that has this |
| 1431s | ancient rotting head on top of this now |
| 1433s | puppeteered body there is a horror in |
| 1436s | them a sort of Frankenstein esque |
| 1439s | monster so they have more humanoid |
| 1441s | traits but even stronger powers like |
| 1445s | flaming swords they're going to be |
| 1446s | throwing at you or they might be using |
| 1448s | poison axes that are hurled your way or |
| 1450s | even Shadow Spears that tear up the |
| 1452s | ground so these are going to be some new |
| 1454s | encounters that you've never seen before |
| 1456s | as you perform various Whispers in the |
| 1458s | area hopefully you see Briars out in the |
| 1460s | world these are going to indicate that |
| 1462s | there's a head rotten there you manag to |
| 1464s | successfully take down one of the head |
| 1466s | rotten and claim a fugitive head this |
| 1468s | can be returned to the witches at the |
| 1470s | tree of Whispers and you're going to get |
| 1472s | special seasonal sockes as a reward on |
| 1476s | top of that there will be some new |
| 1477s | Whispers out there you might have a |
| 1478s | chance to help a Bewitched frog or there |
| 1481s | might be a lost whisp that needs to find |
| 1483s | its way home as you engage in these |
| 1485s | Whispers you're going to get reputation |
| 1487s | with the witches as well as seasonal |
| 1489s | currency that you can use to unlock and |
| 1491s | upgrade your witch |
| 1493s | powers so we've seen a lot of great |
| 1495s | feedback from our players on what are |
| 1496s | the various features that they most want |
| 1498s | to see in Diablo four to make our game |
| 1499s | even better one that's come up quite a |
| 1501s | few times is an Armory when you save a |
| 1504s | build in the Armory it's going to take a |
| 1506s | snapshot of everything currently on your |
| 1508s | character skill treat Paragon boards |
| 1510s | your glyphs on those boards and all of |
| 1512s | your gear players will be able to access |
| 1515s | the Armory UI from any major city you're |
| 1517s | going to be able to pursue multiple |
| 1519s | different Builds on one class at the |
| 1521s | same time this can be pretty cool when |
| 1523s | leveling up but it's especially fun once |
| 1525s | you get into the end game at that point |
| 1527s | whenever you find a cool item that oh |
| 1529s | man this is really strong but not for |
| 1530s | the build I'm running right now oh but |
| 1533s | you can still use it you can still save |
| 1534s | out separate sets and try to pursue |
| 1537s | getting really powerful setups of very |
| 1539s | different versions of your class at the |
| 1541s | same time I am excited of what it could |
| 1543s | feel like to constantly be swapping |
| 1545s | between these different builds and |
| 1546s | seeing which one is the most powerful |
| 1548s | I'm excited for people to just immerse |
| 1550s | themselves in the season me personally |
| 1552s | I'm very likely going to be running a |
| 1554s | companion Druid build with the grow |
| 1556s | power to have a giant werewolf Army no |

| 1561s | different and emotionally gut-wrenching |

| 1784s | witchcraft powers in there like there's |
| 1786s | there's an absolute smattering of |
| 1787s | content um but very excited to throw it |
| 1791s | over to Dan tangue uh can you let us |
| 1794s | know what players can expect in seasonal |
| 1796s | witchcraft yeah let's talk about the |
| 1798s | season of the Witchcraft there's a lot |
| 1800s | to cover at this point you |
| 1802s | got um a bigger chunk of it than you had |
| 1806s | in previous seasons in the PTR uh but |
| 1808s | still we've got some surprises in store |
| 1810s | that we want to share with yall so uh |
| 1812s | let's get started um first off the |
| 1815s | season of |
| 1816s | Witchcraft um dozens of heads are |
| 1820s | missing from the Tree of |
| 1823s | Whispers And so the tree is hellbent and |
| 1827s | really just ticked off one wants to find |
| 1829s | them I mean these heads were part of a |
| 1832s | bargain the tree is all about keeping |
| 1834s | your word and now that bargain is broken |
| 1838s | so yeah the tree is mad full stop um now |
| 1842s | the witches have summoned you to the |
| 1844s | tree and they're offering you a deal if |
| 1847s | you can get those heads back for them |
| 1849s | they'll offer you the secrets of |
| 1851s | Witchcraft so that's where we begin and |
| 1855s | the first thing uh we're going to have |
| 1857s | an all new quest line and that new quest |
| 1859s | line is going to be you unraveling the |
| 1861s | mystery of those missing heads and while |
| 1865s | you're doing that like I said you're |
| 1866s | going to be earning wild Witchcraft and |
| 1868s | occult gems uh we have a new activity |
| 1872s | called Head hunts and that's going to |
| 1874s | allow you to pursue Whispers Sligh head |
| 1876s | rotten which is the new enemies the new |
| 1879s | family of enemies uh that we have this |
| 1881s | season and find those missing heads um |
| 1885s | in addition to the uh head hunts you're |
| 1887s | also going to have root holds these are |
| 1889s | new micro dungeons that allow you to |
| 1891s | discover bonus head rotten and also |
| 1893s | their bosses and then finally we've got |
| 1896s | some updates to the season Journey that |
| 1897s | we'll cover including a new pet named |
| 1900s | Dorian which is a pet Raven this is our |
| 1902s | first flying pet so we're pretty excited |
| 1904s | about that um let's talk about some of |
| 1907s | the powers so witchcraft at least as |
| 1912s | we're defining it this season it allows |
| 1915s | its practitioners to call upon the power |
| 1917s | of the swamp to do their bidding and |
| 1920s | there are three schools of magic within |
| 1922s | witchcraft we've got eldrich Witchcraft |
| 1925s | and that's uncanny magic that you know |
| 1927s | is just weird and bizarre and very of |
| 1931s | the swamp you've got psyche Powers these |
| 1933s | are powers of the Mind and Spirit and |
| 1936s | we've got growth and Decay and that |
| 1938s | that's magic that both heals and harms |
| 1940s | your enemies um going to take a look at |
| 1943s | it some of these in action so first up |
| 1946s | we're going to have uh Eldridge Powers |
| 1947s | once we get our clip |
| 1952s | going and right here we're seeing that |
| 1955s | we've got Fire Bats which is a classic |
| 1958s | power from the Witch Doctor that we |
| 1960s | brought back this season paired up with |
| 1962s | doom orb uh next up we've got some |
| 1965s | psyche Powers here and uh we're using |
| 1969s | vengeful Spirit which is kind of hanging |
| 1971s | around you and zooming between enemies |
| 1973s | and the or of lament where you see these |
| 1976s | psychic projections of hands come out of |
| 1978s | the ground around and slow your enemies |
| 1979s | and finally we've got growth and Decay |
| 1982s | magic and you watch right there your |
| 1984s | wolves got really big all of a sudden |
| 1986s | that's grow magic and that's been paired |
| 1988s | up with the poison frog which you see in |
| 1990s | the corner uh wailing away on the the |
| 1993s | head rotten there so those are some good |
| 1996s | examples of the types of Magics that |
| 1998s | you're going to be able to use in this |
| 2000s | season and you'll start seeing them |
| 2002s | sprinkled all throughout the rest of the |
| 2003s | clips that we're about to show |
| 2005s | you uh next up let's talk about the |
| 2008s | hunts so I said before the tree was |
| 2012s | really mad right cuz it's missing its |
| 2014s | heads and |
| 2016s | so what it's doing is actually calling |
| 2019s | out all new Whispers And it's just |
| 2022s | furiously furiously searching for these |
| 2024s | heads but it can't do it on its own so |
| 2028s | when it calls out a particular Zone |
| 2030s | because it knows roughly where the heads |
| 2032s | are um it calls its agents to to help it |
| 2035s | out and you're one of the trees agents |
| 2037s | so you can go and solve some of those |
| 2039s | Whispers and get rewarded for them now |
| 2042s | the head hunts are special Zone |
| 2044s | takeovers that complement the hell tide |
| 2046s | so uh folks on the PTR called them witch |
| 2049s | Tides sure you can call them that uh but |
| 2053s | the idea is that uh these aren't just |
| 2056s | replacing hell Tides they're there to |
| 2058s | supplement them in terms of what you can |
| 2061s | do in the Overworld now these are going |
| 2063s | to be swarming with head rotten those |
| 2064s | enemies we talked about before the head |
| 2066s | rotten are monsters that have Fallen |
| 2068s | under the influence of the missing heads |
| 2070s | and the heads have transformed them in |
| 2072s | really grotesque ways now these head |
| 2075s | hunts like I mentioned are going to |
| 2077s | feature all new Whispers mixed with some |
| 2079s | existing ones as well completing a |
| 2084s | whisper uh unlocks uh what's called an |
| 2087s | exposed root and that gives you a chance |
| 2090s | of actually triggering what is uh a |
| 2094s | cocoon uh and these uprooted cocoons |
| 2096s | have a chance of then spawning ahead |
| 2098s | rotten boss so every time you complete a |
| 2100s | whisper you've got a chance at |
| 2103s | triggering a boss and occasionally a |
| 2106s | boss will spawn from one of these and |
| 2108s | then everyone in the zone can work |
| 2110s | together to try and take down that boss |
| 2112s | and if you're really lucky that boss |
| 2115s | will have one of the missing heads |
| 2116s | associated with it so let's take a look |
| 2118s | at some of this in action here now first |
| 2121s | up we're going to check out one of our |
| 2123s | new Whispers this is a Shepherd whisper |
| 2126s | uh this is allowing you to you know uh |
| 2129s | guide some of these uh innocent wildlife |
| 2131s | in this area to safety you know very |
| 2134s | simple but you know the witches want to |
| 2136s | make sure that no one's harmed uh by the |
| 2138s | head rotten next up we've got some |
| 2141s | villagers that are trapped in Bramble in |
| 2142s | an entangled whisper and so you're |
| 2145s | trying to defeat all the enemies around |
| 2147s | there in order to uh free the uh |
| 2150s | villager |
| 2152s | there uh following that we're actually |
| 2155s | going to get a view of one of the |
| 2157s | exposed roots at as it transforms into |
| 2160s | this uprooted |
| 2161s | cocoon and so um much like uh some other |
| 2166s | open world boss fights there's going to |
| 2167s | be some combat leading up to the boss |
| 2170s | spawning and uh that first cocoon |
| 2172s | actually didn't have a boss in it but |
| 2174s | you still got some rewards from it so |
| 2175s | we're going to see if this second cocoon |
| 2177s | has a boss in it so we're you know |
| 2179s | continuing to clear head rotten and |
| 2182s | indeed a boss does spawn now |
| 2184s | unfortunately it's not a boss with a |
| 2185s | missing head this is a headless husk but |
| 2187s | still it's going to be pretty rewarding |
| 2189s | to defeat this so hopefully everyone in |
| 2191s | the area realizes that you know there's |
| 2194s | a boss in the air and they're going to |
| 2195s | come help you defeat |
| 2197s | this and uh yeah that is a good Peak at |
| 2201s | uh what head hunts are going to be uh |
| 2204s | but let's go back to the tree now |
| 2206s | because uh really want to take you |
| 2208s | through some of the steps on how to |
| 2209s | learn new witchcraft so um let's talk |
| 2213s | about that so the first thing that's |
| 2216s | really important when you want to learn |
| 2218s | witchcraft is that you're always going |
| 2220s | to be earning covenant's favor from |
| 2221s | completing Whispers And that's going to |
| 2225s | unlock new witchcraft at certain tiers |
| 2228s | of the the coven favor board now |
| 2231s | additionally as you're killing those |
| 2233s | head rotten that I showed you before |
| 2235s | you're going to be earning Restless rot |
| 2238s | now Restless rot is something that you |
| 2240s | can offer as proof of a kill to the |
| 2242s | alter to earn that new Witchcraft and |
| 2245s | then you can use it also to upgrade your |
| 2248s | witchcraft directly in your |
| 2249s | UI one final note I want to make here is |
| 2253s | that we decided to use witchcraft in the |
| 2257s | seasonal Powers as a way to help boost |
| 2259s | your alts so that means that whenever |
| 2261s | you upgrade and unlock a piece of |
| 2263s | Witchcraft that's going to stay upgraded |
| 2266s | and locked for all your characters on |
| 2268s | your account for the rest of the season |
| 2271s | so it's going to be a great leg up for |
| 2272s | you know trying new characters in the |
| 2274s | future but let's take a look at some of |
| 2276s | this in action |
| 2278s | all right so here we are in the tree of |
| 2281s | Whispers area and we're looking at the |
| 2284s | coven rep board and we'll see right up |
| 2286s | here that on rank seven you actually |
| 2288s | unlock some more witchcraft so we're |
| 2290s | going to go over to our altar now now at |
| 2293s | the altar we're going to take a look at |
| 2295s | a list of things that you haven't |
| 2296s | learned yet and each of these costs |
| 2298s | Restless rot to earn and so you're going |
| 2301s | to learn grow and now grow has appeared |
| 2304s | in your witchcraft inventory to the |
| 2305s | right and you're also going to look at |
| 2308s | upgrading abysal Abyssal resonance it |
| 2311s | was a bit of a mouthful and uh we can |
| 2314s | upgrade it from rank three to four by |
| 2316s | just plying the Restless rot |
| 2318s | directly but head hunts aren't the only |
| 2320s | places that you're going to be able to |
| 2321s | find head rotten uh let's go uh actually |
| 2325s | no I'm skipping ahead let's talk about |
| 2328s | forgotten altars first so there's a bit |
| 2331s | of a Twist on earning some of your |
| 2332s | witchcraft not all the Witchcraft that |
| 2336s | uh you can learn is actually known by |
| 2339s | The Witches of howar or the tree for |
| 2340s | that matter some of it has just been |
| 2342s | lost to the world and so uh these take |
| 2346s | the form of lost powers that you can |
| 2348s | find on forgotten altars out in the |
| 2351s | dungeons of sanctuary so as you're |
| 2353s | adventuring through your dungeons uh you |
| 2355s | will find some lost powers that you |
| 2357s | can't get anywhere else and so it should |
| 2360s | be pretty exciting to stumble across one |
| 2362s | of these um can't remember if there's a |
| 2365s | clip or not here so let's take a look |
| 2367s | there is indeed and so real quick you |
| 2370s | know going through a dungeon you see a |
| 2371s | forgotten alter you interact with it and |
| 2373s | then a new power is unlocked now the |
| 2375s | cool thing about these is that if you |
| 2378s | find more Alters you can upgrade your |
| 2380s | powers by doing this but you can also |
| 2383s | upgrade them through spending a premium |
| 2385s | price of uh Restless rot so you've got a |
| 2388s | couple options for upgrading these once |
| 2390s | you're able to find them now we're going |
| 2392s | to talk about the root holds I think so |
| 2396s | uh root holds root holds are micro |
| 2398s | Dungeons and so these micro dungeons are |
| 2402s | home to some of the head rotten and the |
| 2404s | head rotten bosses and the missing heads |
| 2406s | they've gotten a little wise to what the |
| 2408s | trees up to so they're trying to hide |
| 2411s | underground and so uh each of these |
| 2413s | contains a really concentrated |
| 2415s | population of head rotten in their |
| 2417s | rewards and they require a new type of |
| 2420s | sigil called the Whispering Wood in |
| 2421s | order to access and so these drop from |
| 2424s | whisper caches so as you complete those |
| 2426s | Whispers you'll get more access to root |
| 2428s | holds as well as silent chests which |
| 2431s | actually are pretty common in the head |
| 2433s | hunt areas so let's take a look at a |
| 2435s | root hold uh first off we're going to |
| 2437s | open our inventory and in there is going |
| 2439s | to be a Whispering Wood and we're just |
| 2441s | going to trigger that like we would any |
| 2443s | nightmare dungeon and then we're going |
| 2445s | to teleport right into our root hold and |
| 2448s | I can take you through a little bit of |
| 2454s | that all right now we're in the root |
| 2456s | hold and we're going to come upon a |
| 2458s | couple of interactions actually Four |
| 2460s | these are rights and ceremonies uh these |
| 2463s | are interactions that allow you to |
| 2465s | increase the challenge in the root hold |
| 2466s | in order to get more rewards and if it |
| 2469s | reminds you a little bit of Hell |
| 2470s | breaches well it is pretty similar but |
| 2472s | unlike those you can actually do |
| 2474s | multiple uh rights and ceremonies |
| 2477s | instead of just one and when you take |
| 2479s | those on then all the enemies and all |
| 2481s | the interactions afterwards have been |
| 2483s | impacted and so we're going to fight |
| 2485s | through some of the head rotten here |
| 2487s | like I said root holds are a pretty good |
| 2490s | spot to get a concentrated dose of them |
| 2493s | and you also get uh a number of |
| 2496s | guaranteed roots that you can uh try and |
| 2498s | uproot as well which is great uh we'll |
| 2501s | watch a little bit more of this and then |
| 2503s | we'll culminate with a boss um one more |
| 2507s | battle first but I'll say that each root |
| 2510s | hold is guaranteed to have a boss at the |
| 2512s | end which is nice if you want to start |
| 2514s | really trying to grind to get your uh |
| 2516s | Missing heads |
| 2519s | now let's take a look at the boss oh |
| 2521s | well this boss actually has a head so |
| 2524s | that's pretty cool cuz a lot of them |
| 2525s | don't so um we're going to kill that |
| 2528s | boss and that boss is going to drop a |
| 2531s | missing head and we're actually going to |
| 2532s | go take it back to the tree of Whispers |
| 2534s | now so taking it back to the tree of |
| 2537s | Whispers we're going to talk to a witch |
| 2539s | and we're going to be able in return for |
| 2542s | uh giving her this head craft an ult |
| 2545s | Gem and uh this G I think we're going to |
| 2548s | craft as an elder sigil and we're going |
| 2551s | to be able to slot that into one of our |
| 2553s | rings so let's do that right |
| 2557s | now here we |
| 2561s | go and the Elder sigil is not only going |
| 2564s | to provide us some defense like you |
| 2565s | would get from your uh a diamond or |
| 2569s | skull that you've slotted into a a ring |
| 2571s | or a um a tal not a |
| 2574s | Talisman um yeah uh but also uh it's |
| 2579s | going to give you some additional |
| 2581s | bonuses above and beyond that but I'm |
| 2583s | dancing around it what are ult gems and |
| 2587s | so let's talk a little bit more about |
| 2589s | what occult gems are at this point so |
| 2592s | occult gems are special sockets and |
| 2594s | these socket Ables are going to really |
| 2597s | help you fine-tune your build after you |
| 2600s | have kind of a good foundation of |
| 2602s | Witchcraft now they're crafted like you |
| 2604s | saw using the missing heads return to |
| 2606s | the tree of Whispers they can only be |
| 2608s | slotted in jewelry slots though your |
| 2610s | talismans and your and your uh rings and |
| 2614s | they only last for the season now when |
| 2617s | items transferred to the Eternal realm |
| 2619s | uh they disappear |
| 2621s | forever and they build on top of your |
| 2624s | witchcraft Powers you know they're going |
| 2625s | to provide item and skill bonuses for |
| 2627s | certain witchcraft combinations so if |
| 2630s | you really like the pirano for example |
| 2632s | you're going to be investing in hexan or |
| 2635s | and if you invest a lot in hexan or it |
| 2637s | probably is wise to try and find an |
| 2639s | occult gem that also Builds on top of |
| 2642s | those things as well and that'll really |
| 2644s | allow you to fully enhance your build |
| 2647s | while you're entering and then playing |
| 2649s | through the |
| 2650s | endgame all right so we've talked a bit |
| 2652s | about Ault gems um while we were putting |
| 2657s | all this together uh for season of |
| 2659s | Witchcraft we also saw some really good |
| 2662s | opportunities to improve the quality of |
| 2664s | life of the whisper Loop so let's talk |
| 2666s | through a couple of those right now |
| 2668s | first off we've updated the town area |
| 2671s | around uh the tree of Whispers uh |
| 2674s | previously it was kind of small it was |
| 2676s | you know home to a number of outcasts |
| 2678s | and that group of outcasts has grown uh |
| 2680s | this season not only do the witches make |
| 2683s | home there but there's a couple of new |
| 2685s | people there that provide additional |
| 2686s | services and we've also actually put an |
| 2689s | extra Armory in there too so you can |
| 2691s | make use of that now while you're out in |
| 2694s | head hunts we've also added uh a new |
| 2697s | feature called The Raven of the tree and |
| 2699s | this allows you to basically make uh uh |
| 2703s | submissions to the tree of Whispers turn |
| 2706s | in your Grim favor in order to be able |
| 2708s | to get a cache immediately on the spot |
| 2711s | instead of having to return to the you |
| 2713s | know the tree of Whispers itself and you |
| 2717s | know it's convenient sure but it also |
| 2719s | allows you to really stay in the moment |
| 2721s | if for example a you know a new boss is |
| 2723s | triggered or something like that from an |
| 2725s | uprooted cocoon and you want to join in |
| 2727s | that you go over to the Raven of the |
| 2729s | tree turn in your Grim favor and then |
| 2731s | get right back into the battle again and |
| 2734s | finally we've got some ancestral caches |
| 2736s | these are a new type of cach that we've |
| 2738s | added that guarantees an ancestral item |
| 2741s | and we wanted to make sure just that the |
| 2743s | whisper Loop had you know full range of |
| 2745s | items that it could drop so we're pretty |
| 2748s | excited to be able to share all of these |
| 2749s | with you as well as some new |
| 2752s | improvements uh to the season Journey so |
| 2755s | let's talk through those real quick now |
| 2757s | with the season Journey uh we realized |
| 2759s | that a lot of casual players use the |
| 2762s | season Journey as a way to figure out |
| 2764s | what to do next and uh we also realized |
| 2768s | that our early chapters hadn't really |
| 2770s | been helping the Casual players as much |
| 2773s | as we would have liked so we've reworked |
| 2775s | a lot of those early objectives to help |
| 2779s | casual players more because we want to |
| 2781s | see more of them get into the |
| 2783s | endgame now the later chapters though |
| 2785s | didn't feel especially challenging to us |
| 2787s | so we've tried to improve that chapter 7 |
| 2790s | especially we've reworked to really |
| 2792s | provide some more aspirational goals for |
| 2795s | players and uh this is something that |
| 2798s | we're just going to continue working on |
| 2800s | in future Seasons as well now we've |
| 2802s | asked you do a lot more in terms of the |
| 2804s | objectives so we wanted to make sure we |
| 2806s | gave you a really great reward too so |
| 2809s | this is where you can earn Dorian The |
| 2810s | Raven and like I said at the top this is |
| 2813s | our first flying pet which is pretty |
| 2815s | awesome so let's take a look |
| 2818s | you know I am pretty excited to get |
| 2820s | Dorian I have a feeling that flying pets |
| 2823s | are pretty much going to be my new |
| 2824s | favorite moving forward so yeah |
| 2827s | definitely looking forward to this one |
| 2829s | oh yeah dorian's GNA be wonderful you |
| 2831s | know Ravens love shinies so him picking |
| 2833s | up your gold is just perfect yeah right |
| 2836s | on GRE Point |
| 2838s | yeah and finally I think uh I'd like to |
| 2842s | chat through some uh PTR stuff so um |
| 2846s | Charles is going to cover a lot of the |
| 2847s | updates we made to the powers and oult |
| 2849s | gems because that's what his team |
| 2851s | focused on uh but the season team really |
| 2853s | focused on some of the head hunts and |
| 2855s | systems and took a lot of your feedback |
| 2859s | and uh really tried to improve the game |
| 2861s | prior to launch so uh here's a couple |
| 2864s | things that I I just want to cover real |
| 2866s | quick first off uh the multiplayer head |
| 2868s | hunts felt overwhelming for a lot of new |
| 2871s | players and so we've done a number of |
| 2874s | things to tweak the head hunts to make |
| 2876s | sure that they don't feel feel as |
| 2878s | overwhelming first off we've you know |
| 2880s | made some targeted reductions to the |
| 2882s | number of Elites there were just a lot |
| 2884s | of elites on the |
| 2885s | PTR and so you're still going to have a |
| 2888s | lot of monster density as you're |
| 2890s | fighting through these head Hunts uh but |
| 2892s | hopefully this will uh make things a |
| 2895s | little more manageable uh because we |
| 2899s | also had to uh reduce the number of um |
| 2903s | uh not the number of bosses but the |
| 2906s | frequency at which they spawned uh we've |
| 2908s | got bad luck protection to make sure |
| 2911s | that you know uh you will eventually see |
| 2914s | a boss spawn as you're playing through a |
| 2915s | head hunt but we had to dial that down |
| 2917s | just a little bit because they were |
| 2919s | coming up quite quite often um we've |
| 2922s | also reduced the number of low value |
| 2923s | item drops you know we had heard from a |
| 2925s | number of you that you were spending |
| 2927s | more time picking up a lot of items that |
| 2929s | really weren't good instead of actually |
| 2932s | battling the head rotten which is what |
| 2934s | we want you to do uh We've also reduced |
| 2936s | the number number of active head hunt |
| 2938s | zones from five to four and then finally |
| 2942s | we're going to add a new Hut element um |
| 2945s | a number of folks had pointed out that |
| 2947s | it wasn't really clear that completing |
| 2948s | Whispers was the thing that actually |
| 2950s | triggered the roots and then the cocoons |
| 2953s | and so we've got a Hut element that will |
| 2955s | definitely illustrate that better |
| 2958s | unfortunately that's not going to come |
| 2959s | till release 211 which is going to be |
| 2962s | roughly two weeks out from |
| 2964s | launch now head rotten especially bosses |
| 2967s | were not challenging enough so that's |
| 2969s | another thing that we've looked to |
| 2970s | address we've increased the head rotten |
| 2973s | barrier effect previously it was round |
| 2975s | half Health we've made that full health |
| 2976s | now and we gave the head rotten a very |
| 2979s | small percentage of damage reduction as |
| 2981s | well um we've given you a lot of cool |
| 2984s | new powers in form of Witchcraft to play |
| 2986s | with we want to make sure the head |
| 2988s | rotten serve as a a good challenge for |
| 2990s | you as you're building out your |
| 2991s | witchcraft |
| 2993s | Powers um next up head rotten bosses |
| 2996s | were just not re rewarding enough across |
| 2998s | the board so we've increased their |
| 3000s | rewards to a level that's closer to a |
| 3002s | blood Maiden than what they were |
| 3004s | previously and then finally some players |
| 3007s | didn't quite understand how to earn an |
| 3008s | upgrade witchcraft so we made some |
| 3010s | changes to help with that uh each alter |
| 3014s | is going to contain the same inventory |
| 3016s | now instead of having unique inventories |
| 3019s | and that way you don't need to try and |
| 3020s | figure out which altar you need to go to |
| 3022s | in order to learn something and we've |
| 3025s | also Rewritten a lot of the tool tips |
| 3027s | descriptions to make sure that uh we're |
| 3030s | very clear about where you can go to get |
| 3033s | things um but yeah I think that covers |
| 3036s | it for PTR |
| 3038s | learnings and I'm trying to think if |
| 3040s | there's anything else but I think I'll |
| 3041s | pass it back to uh yeah no I think you |
| 3044s | you covered all of it Dan that was uh |
| 3046s | that was incredible that was a absolute |
| 3049s | ton of content uh there's just so much |
| 3051s | to dive into with this season like I |
| 3053s | think I can speak for everyone like |
| 3054s | between Roo holes witchcraft Powers Ault |
| 3057s | gems like there's just so much in the |
| 3058s | mix to dive in and get used to and like |
| 3060s | it all kind of comes back to head hunts |
| 3062s | that you can kind of use as a Zone to |
| 3063s | get through like to get into all the |
| 3065s | content uh which is super exciting so |
| 3067s | Dan thanks so much for walking us |
| 3068s | through all of that um I know we've got |
| 3070s | more details coming out uh in our patch |
| 3072s | notes following the stream and we do |
| 3074s | have some of those witchcraft Powers |
| 3075s | already existing in our blog so if you |
| 3076s | want more information on those you can |
| 3077s | check those out um but Dan's going to |
| 3079s | stick around because we will bre |
| 3081s | bringing Dan back for our Q&A section at |
| 3083s | the end of The Stream So if you have any |
| 3084s | questions you know on Dorian The Raven |
| 3086s | or on witcraft Powers ult Gems or |
| 3088s | anything to do with season witchcraft uh |
| 3090s | please drop those in chat and we'll grab |
| 3091s | them throughout the stream um but for |
| 3093s | all of you who are kind of theory |
| 3095s | crafting and build crafting and thinking |
| 3096s | about like okay what's my play style |
| 3098s | going to be for season of Witchcraft |
| 3099s | you're probably already thinking about |
| 3100s | the different Ault gems the different |
| 3102s | witchcraft Powers but to finish off that |
| 3104s | equation of course you need to get all |
| 3105s | the balance updates for the season yeah |
| 3107s | so Charles can you take us through |
| 3109s | what's uh what's coming of course yeah |
| 3110s | I'd love to talk about you know how |
| 3111s | you're going to attack these head rotten |
| 3113s | like what is your build going to look |
| 3114s | like and and what are some of the the |
| 3115s | new uh unique and legendaries that |
| 3117s | you're going to get to play with in this |
| 3119s | season uh first before we getting into |
| 3121s | each individual class I want to talk |
| 3122s | about some of our uh broader initiatives |
| 3124s | on the class design side that kind of uh |
| 3126s | affect every class in in some way uh |
| 3129s | specifically wanted to talk about um how |
| 3130s | we did some ultimate skill updates in |
| 3132s | this patch uh for ultimate skills uh |
| 3135s | we're now uh you were're able to get uh |
| 3137s | skill ranks on them starting in uh in |
| 3139s | season six the previous season but now |
| 3142s | once you get them up to uh rank five |
| 3144s | you're going to get a special bonus and |
| 3146s | we found these to be really flashy and |
| 3147s | fun on the PTR people love playing with |
| 3149s | ultimat and you get to cast them more |
| 3151s | often they've got more effects they had |
| 3153s | some scaling um to way ways to scale |
| 3156s | their damage with these rank five |
| 3157s | bonuses sometimes MH we did find that |
| 3160s | some of those exact scaling numbers were |
| 3162s | a little on the higher side they were a |
| 3164s | little bit uh more powerful and kind of |
| 3166s | crowding out non-ultimate builds we love |
| 3168s | that people are playing these and we |
| 3169s | want them to be powerful but there are |
| 3171s | certainly sometimes when it's a little |
| 3172s | too much and it feels like you can't |
| 3174s | play anything else so we are taking a |
| 3176s | pth across the board on some of those |
| 3178s | ultimate scallions to bring them down |
| 3180s | just a little bit but we still expect |
| 3181s | them to be very powerful and very |
| 3183s | fun secondarily we've got the summons |
| 3186s | update this was a big pass across uh |
| 3189s | summons from Necromancer their skeletons |
| 3192s | Druid companions uh Rogue Shadow clone |
| 3195s | is a big one oh yes um and then even uh |
| 3197s | Sorcerer conjurations And the uh the |
| 3201s | Barbarian ancients even uh so for the |
| 3203s | summons update without getting too |
| 3205s | technical into it uh essentially what |
| 3207s | happened was all of the damage that your |
| 3210s | summons do is going to be attributed to |
| 3213s | the player and not to a separate uh |
| 3215s | entity that's kind of separated from you |
| 3217s | and what that ultimately means is that |
| 3219s | it will all of those summons will now |
| 3221s | inherit your damage bonuses more |
| 3223s | consistently anything that says you deal |
| 3225s | increased damage affects your summons |
| 3227s | just out of the box it works for |
| 3229s | everything it's just more consistent |
| 3231s | interaction across the board any of your |
| 3233s | lucky hit effects that says hey you've |
| 3235s | got a lucky hit chance to stun an enemy |
| 3237s | all of the damage from your summons also |
| 3239s | can trigger that now and this is uh |
| 3241s | great for consistency across the board |
| 3243s | previously it was sometimes inconsistent |
| 3245s | what would work with |
| 3247s | what uh and I'm particularly excited |
| 3249s | about Shadow clone as we'll talk about |
| 3251s | in the Rogue section coming up but that |
| 3253s | was one that you know historically |
| 3255s | really never hit the mark for an |
| 3256s | ultimate skill and with with this new |
| 3259s | update we think Shadow clone is going to |
| 3261s | really live up to the to the promise of |
| 3263s | like really duplicating your actions in |
| 3266s | a way that feel meaningful and does tons |
| 3268s | of damage exactly like you'd expect it |
| 3270s | to oh it's going to be very powerful I'm |
| 3271s | looking forward to it and summons truly |
| 3273s | are just an extension of you now and all |
| 3276s | of your power they're inheriting all of |
| 3278s | that properly and they're going to blast |
| 3280s | it's going to be great absolutely uh the |
| 3283s | one last uh kind of big picture item |
| 3285s | that we took away from the PTR was about |
| 3288s | uh crowd control effects uh we noticed |
| 3290s | that there is a whole lot of what i' |
| 3292s | call incidental crowd control effects |
| 3294s | things that happen from Lucky hits or |
| 3296s | procs uh specifically from the worldly |
| 3299s | Fortune tempering manual that gives you |
| 3301s | lucky hit chance to stun or chance to to |
| 3304s | freeze an enemy as well as particularly |
| 3306s | from the fist of Fate unique item uh we |
| 3309s | found that uh it was often the the most |
| 3312s | common way to build your character in |
| 3314s | the late game was to really stack up |
| 3315s | these effects and then you're just |
| 3317s | applying a lot of crowd control on this |
| 3318s | lucky hit Cadence rather than actively |
| 3321s | pressing crowd control buttons or really |
| 3323s | opting into it and we do think that once |
| 3325s | it gets to a certain point of that it |
| 3327s | can make our combat less engaging where |
| 3330s | you know enemies just randomly get |
| 3332s | stunned or Frozen without you really |
| 3334s | having too much input into that and but |
| 3336s | then it also makes it very frustrating |
| 3338s | when you know you don't lucky hit and an |
| 3340s | enemy hits you that you expected to have |
| 3342s | got hit with this um so we're looking to |
| 3345s | uh potentially address that in a future |
| 3348s | season or future updates we don't have |
| 3350s | any changes regarding the crowd control |
| 3352s | here in season 7 but it's one of those |
| 3354s | examples of the learnings uh that we're |
| 3357s | going to take forward to Future seasons |
| 3359s | and potentially look at improving this |
| 3360s | so that we can make our combat feel that |
| 3362s | much more engaging and actually get a |
| 3364s | little bit of back and forth between you |
| 3366s | and the enemies a bit more than there |
| 3367s | currently is especially in the the hyper |
| 3369s | late game situation when your characters |
| 3371s | are really maxed |
| 3373s | out so with that in mind let's get on to |
| 3376s | some of the individual classes starting |
| 3378s | with the |
| 3379s | Barbarian so the Barbarian on the the |
| 3382s | season 7 PTR was performing quite |
| 3384s | solidly we were pretty happy with where |
| 3386s | Barbarian landed we are really excited |
| 3389s | about Hammer of the Ancients and this |
| 3390s | this earthquake build with the new |
| 3392s | unique which we'll show in a moment um |
| 3394s | we do think the Hammer of the Ancients |
| 3395s | part of that maybe could use a little |
| 3396s | bit uh more numerical Buffs so we threw |
| 3399s | some Buffs there as well as to Whirlwind |
| 3401s | that build was definitely falling a bit |
| 3402s | behind some of the other builds uh but |
| 3404s | on the whole we definitely expect |
| 3405s | Barbarian to be really powerful and a |
| 3407s | strong option going forward let's take a |
| 3410s | look at that new unique item the mantle |
| 3412s | of mountains Fury oh yes this empowers |
| 3415s | your Hammer of the Ancients to cause a |
| 3417s | seismic line and if that line hits an |
| 3419s | earthquake it's going to explode that |
| 3421s | earthquake for massive damage and big |
| 3423s | fire explosions looks so sweet it's very |
| 3427s | very powerful and you know right on the |
| 3429s | Barbarian fantasy of just you know |
| 3431s | hitting things with big weapons making |
| 3432s | earthquakes making |
| 3434s | explosions yeah that's that's ludicrous |
| 3437s | I love it because like the flavor of |
| 3438s | hammer of the Ancients is like hit the |
| 3440s | ground and smash it and this is just |
| 3442s | taking that and amplifying it by like a |
| 3444s | 100 times oh absolutely so really |
| 3446s | excited for this and to see uh you know |
| 3448s | how this build performs in season of the |
| 3452s | Witchcraft up next we've got the |
| 3454s | Sorceress so the Sorceress uh kind of in |
| 3456s | contrast to the barbarian was by far the |
| 3458s | weakest class on the PTR uh no getting |
| 3461s | around that we definitely we made some |
| 3462s | adjustments going into this season that |
| 3464s | we think maybe overshot and and brought |
| 3466s | sorceress down a little further than we' |
| 3468s | we'd be happy with uh particularly |
| 3470s | changes to conjuration and burning |
| 3472s | bonuses we're happy with how that |
| 3475s | affected build variety but the overall |
| 3477s | power level suffered so with that in |
| 3479s | mind we're going to do a lot of Buffs on |
| 3481s | mainly on the passive effects for the |
| 3483s | class to really kind of bring all of |
| 3485s | their their numbers up by just a little |
| 3486s | bit across the board I specifically |
| 3489s | wanted to call out our changes to |
| 3490s | searing heat and Ice fall these are |
| 3493s | legendary Paragon nodes that previously |
| 3495s | were very build specific like you would |
| 3497s | only use seran heat in a burning build |
| 3499s | uh We've made some tweaks to it where |
| 3501s | it's still good in a burning build it's |
| 3502s | probably better but it also has some |
| 3505s | applications across all builds and all |
| 3507s | damage types so these will just be a |
| 3508s | little bit more generically applicable |
| 3510s | but still very good for the build that |
| 3511s | they were initially intended for right |
| 3514s | oh with that in mind I want to show some |
| 3515s | of the uh updates to a Firebolt |
| 3518s | enchantment this is one that we had |
| 3519s | reworked as part of those burning |
| 3521s | changes and we thought even on the PTR |
| 3523s | wasn't quite hitting the mark So now |
| 3525s | dealing burning damage if you take this |
| 3527s | enchantment will have a chance to heal |
| 3528s | you for some of your maximum life which |
| 3530s | it already did and it also unleashes a |
| 3532s | bonus Firebolt onto a nearby enemy so |
| 3535s | that you can see in this clip here when |
| 3536s | enemies are burning they're just |
| 3538s | randomly firing off some extra Firebolts |
| 3539s | to nearby enemies that can really help |
| 3541s | to spread that burning and and take down |
| 3543s | big packs yeah it's its own little chain |
| 3545s | Firebolt now exactly yeah um also want |
| 3549s | to highlight some of the new uniques |
| 3550s | coming in this season so sorceress has |
| 3552s | two the strike of storm horn is a unique |
| 3555s | Focus that's going to modify your ball |
| 3557s | lightning to give you Super Ball |
| 3559s | Lightnings sometimes so it'll always |
| 3562s | fire out straightforward and it's a |
| 3563s | little bit faster and occasionally |
| 3565s | you'll get the super ball lightning |
| 3567s | which will explode for a big chunk of |
| 3569s | damage at the end in a in a cone shape |
| 3571s | and also stun enemies it's kind of like |
| 3573s | going bowling exactly you get a strike |
| 3576s | stor horn |
| 3578s | exactly alternatively you could take the |
| 3581s | other unique Focus that is being |
| 3583s | introduced in this season okun's |
| 3584s | Catalyst to kind of play ball lightning |
| 3587s | the way it's often been played in the |
| 3588s | past with this gravitational effect |
| 3590s | we've done some reworks on the |
| 3592s | gravitational aspect that previously did |
| 3593s | that and now it will be in this unique |
| 3595s | where the ball Lightnings will orbit |
| 3597s | around you and do do damage to enemies |
| 3599s | who are close by you really want to get |
| 3600s | close and in that action whereas with |
| 3602s | strike of storm horm you're playing at a |
| 3604s | little bit more of range right we really |
| 3606s | like how we're doing these like paired |
| 3608s | uniques where you kind of have a choice |
| 3610s | hey what Focus do I want to use they are |
| 3613s | going to be mutually exclusive you can't |
| 3614s | have both but that's that's because |
| 3616s | they're so different and they they are |
| 3618s | different play Styles but we think |
| 3620s | putting these into different uniques |
| 3622s | gives us the space to to really live up |
| 3625s | this fantasy you know give lots of |
| 3627s | affixes and bonuses that make it as |
| 3629s | powerful and and really to help enhance |
| 3631s | that uh that fantasy that we're we're |
| 3633s | hoping uh to play yeah and Oak's |
| 3635s | Catalyst really gives you that like |
| 3637s | transformative ball lightning experience |
| 3639s | which is like the orbiting ball |
| 3640s | lightning but strike of storm horn kind |
| 3642s | of just amplifies the original ball |
| 3644s | lightning experience which to just shoot |
| 3646s | it out and have it explode in This |
| 3648s | Magnificent blast of energy so I love |
| 3651s | that we uh are allowing both of those to |
| 3653s | shine |
| 3654s | absolutely all right on to the next |
| 3656s | class we've got the Druid so Druid on |
| 3659s | the PTR did have one bugged build one of |
| 3662s | their legendary Paragon nodes was |
| 3663s | causing their damage to scale way higher |
| 3665s | than we intended occasionally we'd even |
| 3668s | kind of break the game and go you'd see |
| 3669s | negative damage numbers definitely not |
| 3671s | intended we fixed that book um but |
| 3673s | despite that we think Druid on the whole |
| 3675s | was still in a solid place even with |
| 3677s | without that uh We've made a a number of |
| 3681s | adjustments and reworked the the Blurred |
| 3683s | Beast aspect this is one that we had |
| 3685s | tried out or work on the PTR and it |
| 3688s | wasn't quite hitting the mark it wasn't |
| 3690s | quite as engaging to play as we had |
| 3691s | hoped so we did a re rework to it to uh |
| 3695s | uh help improve uh the The Shred builds |
| 3698s | for werewolf additionally I wanted to |
| 3700s | highlight some of the spirit Boon |
| 3701s | updates these were the the Druid class |
| 3703s | mechanic you you get these Spirit Boon |
| 3706s | um historically they've been a little |
| 3708s | bit falling behind and we've done some |
| 3709s | big Buffs here to make them really |
| 3711s | powerful I especially like the gift of |
| 3713s | the Stag it's my favorite one it gives |
| 3715s | you passive spirit generation every |
| 3717s | second yeah that really helps smooth out |
| 3719s | druid's early game in particular when |
| 3721s | they're they're struggling to really get |
| 3722s | their their resource engine online they |
| 3725s | they were definitely one of the slower |
| 3726s | classes early on and I think this update |
| 3729s | to the spirit Boons is going to really |
| 3730s | help that yeah totally and that's just |
| 3731s | such a great example of how the update |
| 3733s | is going to help them because uh Drews |
| 3735s | have typically struggled with generating |
| 3737s | spirit in the early game and so having |
| 3738s | more access to that's going to help a |
| 3740s | ton yeah yeah let's take a look at a |
| 3742s | clip of the new blur Beast rework so on |
| 3745s | the PTR it had uh it would do some bonus |
| 3748s | strikes based on how far you traveled |
| 3751s | now your shred will just always have a |
| 3752s | chance to land additional strikes but |
| 3754s | it's going to roll that Randomness four |
| 3756s | times so if you get real lucky on your |
| 3758s | shred you're going to hit so many times |
| 3760s | on that Target which really helps |
| 3762s | amplify the the the fantasy of werewolf |
| 3764s | striking fast striking multiple times |
| 3766s | yeah this aspect is super fun to play |
| 3768s | and I absolutely love what the art team |
| 3770s | did with this combining the mechanics of |
| 3773s | you know that feedback on the extra |
| 3774s | strikes with the actual additional slash |
| 3776s | is going out it looks |
| 3779s | awesome all right on to the Rogue so the |
| 3782s | Rogue was a very strong class on the PTR |
| 3784s | we thought it was it was in a great spot |
| 3786s | very powerful particularly with rain of |
| 3788s | arrows yeah uh rain of Arrow builds were |
| 3791s | already a pretty common pretty powerful |
| 3794s | build before the season but with the new |
| 3796s | changes to introduce the additional |
| 3797s | scaling damage on it they were just |
| 3799s | absolutely top yeah so I will say that |
| 3802s | of course as part of addressing the |
| 3804s | ultimate changes across the board did |
| 3806s | bring down the scaling a little bit on |
| 3807s | rain of arrows but we do think that it's |
| 3809s | still going to be a very compelling |
| 3810s | Choice Rogue and ultimate skills are |
| 3812s | going to be just fine going forward into |
| 3814s | the season it'll be good also I wanted |
| 3817s | to talk a little bit about Shadow clone |
| 3818s | I know I teased that earlier with the |
| 3819s | summons update uh Shadow clone was |
| 3822s | probably one of the the biggest updates |
| 3824s | in this season to really make sure it |
| 3826s | worked with all of your damage all of |
| 3828s | your bonus effects all of your procs and |
| 3831s | especially work with a lot of your |
| 3832s | legendary effects that modify your |
| 3834s | skills so previously if you had say uh |
| 3837s | if you're using flurry and you had the |
| 3839s | aspect of encircling blades that would |
| 3840s | cause flurry to hit all around you your |
| 3843s | Shadow clone wouldn't know that you have |
| 3845s | that it would just kind of attack like a |
| 3846s | normal flurry with this update it'll now |
| 3849s | copy all of your legendary effects just |
| 3851s | as if you were casting the skill |
| 3852s | yourself it comes from the shadow clone |
| 3855s | and it works with all of those |
| 3856s | modifications and that's huge absolutely |
| 3859s | it's a lot of a lot more damage yeah |
| 3861s | yeah really think you know I love rain |
| 3863s | of arrows I love death trap the other |
| 3865s | ultimate options on Rogue but I think |
| 3867s | Shadow clone it's it's its time to shine |
| 3870s | this season Shadow clone hit the gem |
| 3872s | absolutely let's take a a look at a clip |
| 3875s | of uh the new Shadow clone in action so |
| 3878s | here we've got the aspect of CC blades |
| 3880s | the flurry that I mentioned earlier oh |
| 3882s | baby doing the big AOE around both you |
| 3884s | and the shadow clone additionally with |
| 3887s | uh twisting uh twisting blades when they |
| 3889s | come back and orbit around you that |
| 3891s | blade dancers aspect they'll also come |
| 3893s | back and orbit around your Shadow clone |
| 3895s | wonderful |
| 3897s | Charles you're going to make me do a |
| 3898s | rogue flurry Shadow clone build this |
| 3900s | season yeah it should be great let me |
| 3902s | know how that works |
| 3905s | out all right on to the |
| 3907s | Necromancer so the Necromancer was |
| 3910s | probably the class that benefited most |
| 3913s | from uh a bug with uh the scaling of the |
| 3916s | ultimates as I mentioned there there |
| 3917s | were some scaling with different stats |
| 3920s | and whenever there was two stats |
| 3922s | involved uh particularly on Army of the |
| 3924s | dead then it was actually increasing the |
| 3926s | damage far higher than we had intended |
| 3928s | so we have fixed that bug and we've |
| 3930s | addressed it um but with that in mind |
| 3933s | Necromancer is definitely the biggest |
| 3934s | benefit of the summons update I know |
| 3936s | Shadow clone is great but you know |
| 3938s | Necromancer is the summons class so they |
| 3941s | have have by far the most all of their |
| 3944s | uh skeletons and their Golems are now |
| 3946s | going to much more consistently interact |
| 3948s | with your lucky hit procs your bonus |
| 3950s | damage effects anything that you know |
| 3952s | increases your damage output will also |
| 3954s | increase the damage output of your |
| 3956s | minions and on the whole we really |
| 3959s | expect the summon Necromancer to be at |
| 3961s | its peak going into this season amazing |
| 3963s | so channeling my Adam Jackson here |
| 3966s | minion stoms hi minion stoms are |
| 3969s | absolutely going up this season for |
| 3972s | sure additionally we've got some uh new |
| 3976s | just like the the sorcerer we've got uh |
| 3978s | two uniques that talk to blood wave the |
| 3981s | unique uh or the legendary sorry the |
| 3984s | ultimate skill uh we two different uh |
| 3987s | unique pants that can enhance your blood |
| 3989s | wave in different ways let's take a look |
| 3991s | at a clip of those so first we've got |
| 3993s | indra's memory and this is going to be |
| 3996s | kind of your standard blood wave you |
| 3997s | know it still flies forward but when it |
| 3999s | hits the end it's going to trap enemies |
| 4001s | in a bone prison additionally it |
| 4004s | modifies your bone spear to also become |
| 4007s | a blood skill now you've got a blood |
| 4009s | spear right and with the inherent |
| 4012s | afficere casting your bone spear reduces |
| 4014s | blood waves cool down it really promotes |
| 4016s | the Synergy between Blood and Bone and |
| 4019s | you're going to get a nice Loop of hey |
| 4021s | cast The Blood wave and then trap them |
| 4023s | in that bone prison hey that's perfect |
| 4025s | for lining up this this uh blood Spear |
| 4028s | and by casting that you're going to |
| 4030s | reduce the cool down in your blood wave |
| 4031s | to be ready for the next pack right this |
| 4033s | unique alone really makes Blood and Bone |
| 4036s | like a Blood and Bone build come alive |
| 4038s | which is cool |
| 4040s | absolutely the alternative you could use |
| 4044s | cami's Legacy |
| 4046s | this one changes blood wave instead of |
| 4048s | one wave going forward you've got two |
| 4051s | crashing in from both sides and it's |
| 4053s | going to pull enemies towards you and |
| 4055s | when it hits it's going to do a big |
| 4056s | pulse of damage in the middle that's |
| 4058s | awesome it's so cool it's very |
| 4060s | transformational in the way you think |
| 4061s | about it the way you position it and |
| 4063s | what your use case is right it's not for |
| 4065s | pushing enemies away it's for bringing |
| 4067s | them in close and and really wantan to |
| 4069s | be in the thick of combat there yeah it |
| 4071s | really makes me think about like a more |
| 4073s | melee or close range centered necro |
| 4075s | build |
| 4076s | where's memory makes think about a range |
| 4079s | necro build absolutely this is you know |
| 4081s | pulls them in perfect for setting up a |
| 4082s | blood surge to hit enemies right around |
| 4085s | you so definitely looking forward to see |
| 4088s | you know a blood wave being played in in |
| 4090s | a number of different ways in this new |
| 4093s | season and finally we've got the spirit |
| 4096s | born of course our newest class which is |
| 4099s | very strong uh it was very strong in the |
| 4101s | previous season or or what's currently |
| 4103s | live on season six we did some |
| 4105s | adjustment to some of the bugged |
| 4107s | interactions that was causing their |
| 4108s | damage to scale way higher than intended |
| 4111s | as well as a handful of Nerfs across the |
| 4113s | board going into the PTR that being said |
| 4116s | on the PTR we still found them to be |
| 4117s | very strong class uh arguably still the |
| 4120s | strongest um so with that in mind we |
| 4123s | didn't really make too many changes we |
| 4124s | really wanted to make sure that we |
| 4126s | brought some of the other classes up to |
| 4128s | that level and and we we think that |
| 4130s | Spirit born is in a good place so there |
| 4131s | was actually very minimal amount of |
| 4133s | numerical adjustments to Spirit born |
| 4135s | going into this season with that in mind |
| 4138s | I wanted to highlighted the Razer Wings |
| 4139s | build there's a new uh new unique item |
| 4142s | the sunst standed War crosier as well as |
| 4144s | a new aspect the aspect of endless |
| 4146s | Talons that's going to really help |
| 4148s | enhance this Razer Wing build I think |
| 4149s | we've got a clip of |
| 4151s | that so we've got the sun stained war |
| 4154s | crer and that's going to enhance all of |
| 4157s | your focus skills uh they they |
| 4160s | automatically benefit from all their |
| 4161s | upgrades you don't need to invest skill |
| 4162s | points in there and they and by casting |
| 4165s | it you increase damage of your potency |
| 4166s | skill your razor Wings whenever you're |
| 4168s | casting Focus skills as razor Wings is a |
| 4170s | potency skill yes |
| 4172s | absolutely yeah so we're really looking |
| 4174s | forward to to seeing how uh this razor |
| 4176s | Wings was maybe a little bit |
| 4177s | underrepresented on on the current |
| 4179s | season and we really looking forward to |
| 4181s | these this unique and uh the new |
| 4183s | legendary to really to really bring it |
| 4184s | up to |
| 4186s | part all right so that covers our class |
| 4189s | updates and and once again I kind of |
| 4191s | went at high level for each class |
| 4193s | because the actual number of changes |
| 4194s | were rather um you know there's a lot |
| 4197s | more than we we didn't want to just |
| 4198s | throw up all the numbers for every |
| 4199s | single class um so I kind of printted a |
| 4202s | broad picture make sure you check out |
| 4203s | the patch notes for the actual changes |
| 4205s | that should be coming right after this |
| 4207s | stream yeah the patch notes are massive |
| 4209s | so buckle up for those they're they're |
| 4210s | quite long we went through those that |
| 4212s | would be like a 4our stream so yeah but |
| 4214s | uh dive into those post stream |
| 4215s | absolutely luckily for some of the |
| 4217s | occult gems and witch power updates we |
| 4219s | could fit kind of all the changes under |
| 4221s | the slides so we're going to go into uh |
| 4222s | a bit more numbers here so let's take a |
| 4224s | look at what we made updates on the ult |
| 4226s | gems I think on the whole ult gems were |
| 4229s | pretty strong they were really hitting |
| 4230s | that Mark of they they were appealing to |
| 4232s | put into your your jewelry the Rings and |
| 4234s | The Amulet they give you a lot of |
| 4237s | Defense um and a lot of other bonuses |
| 4239s | some of the bonuses maybe a touch high |
| 4241s | so we brought uh some of them down by |
| 4243s | just a little bit right we still think |
| 4244s | on the whole these are going to be |
| 4246s | really exciting moments to be able to |
| 4247s | craft these once you get those |
| 4249s | heads I really like to call out the |
| 4251s | update to witching hour here at the end |
| 4254s | this is a Ault gem that modifies your |
| 4256s | core skill to gain the eldrich tag and |
| 4259s | that enables some really interesting |
| 4260s | synergies that uh you know you'll be |
| 4262s | able to explore once you get your hands |
| 4264s | on the full witchcraft system um but |
| 4266s | when it had a timer of 5 Seconds in |
| 4268s | order to do this it was really hard to |
| 4269s | build around yeah and now reducing that |
| 4271s | down to 1 second means you can much more |
| 4273s | consistently uh benefit from this effect |
| 4275s | and it really opens up the build |
| 4276s | possibilities with the witching hour |
| 4277s | occult gem it was a bit too slow paced |
| 4279s | for how fast Diablo 4 is right now but |
| 4282s | you know with one second on the timer it |
| 4284s | should be a lot more playable for sure |
| 4287s | we've also made some updates to the |
| 4288s | witch powers themselves and uh for the |
| 4291s | witch powers we think in general these |
| 4294s | were probably a touch weak weaker than |
| 4296s | we'd like so across the board there's |
| 4298s | there's some some numerical improvements |
| 4301s | uh especially on the the poison frog |
| 4303s | servant my favorite the little |
| 4305s | frog H yeah oh man he he got big buff |
| 4308s | love love that guy following us around |
| 4310s | and uh you know spitting the poison and |
| 4312s | exploding if he ever dies yep um so yeah |
| 4315s | on the whole we think witch powers were |
| 4317s | were pretty good I love how flashy they |
| 4318s | are in particular and just how impactful |
| 4321s | they they look and feel art team did a |
| 4323s | great uh job with all of these knocked |
| 4325s | it out of the |
| 4327s | park all right and with that in mind |
| 4329s | there's also still one additional new |
| 4331s | witch power that we did not have on the |
| 4333s | we've got the force of will now this is |
| 4335s | a psyche witch power that empowers your |
| 4338s | overpowers when you kill an enemy your |
| 4340s | next overpower is going to gain some |
| 4341s | increased damage up to a maximum and if |
| 4344s | you rank it up to at least rank four |
| 4346s | it'll Empower your next two overpowers |
| 4348s | excellent this was one that we were not |
| 4350s | able to get out on the PTR in time it |
| 4352s | had uh some issues but it was being in |
| 4354s | development but for the actual season |
| 4356s | launch we're going to have this uh out |
| 4358s | there and available we know it kind of |
| 4359s | really rounds out the roster of which |
| 4361s | powers that were available y uh we had |
| 4363s | you know one less psyche power than the |
| 4365s | others this is the last one and we |
| 4367s | didn't really have too much support in |
| 4368s | there for overpower builds and now we do |
| 4371s | voila so really excited about this one |
| 4373s | and uh help to empower overpower |
| 4377s | all right so I think that wraps up all |
| 4378s | of our uh balance changes once again |
| 4380s | check out the patch notes for the exact |
| 4382s | details uh but hope this you know gets |
| 4384s | your your minds turning for for build |
| 4386s | crafting for next uh week when the |
| 4388s | season launches yeah there is absolutely |
| 4390s | ton of chew on like I went into the |
| 4392s | stream absolutely thinking it was going |
| 4393s | to roll spear borne again and now I'm |
| 4395s | thinking I'm going to have to go Barb or |
| 4396s | Shadow clone Rogue like those are so |
| 4398s | sweet got my decisions cut up for me |
| 4401s | that's for sure absolutely and with the |
| 4402s | Armory you're going to be able to pick |
| 4403s | you know one class and a bunch of bills |
| 4406s | all them I think what better thing to |
| 4408s | get into now than tell us about the |
| 4410s | Armory oh yeah I would love to yeah so |
| 4413s | for those who don't know the Armory is a |
| 4415s | tool that you can use to uh basically |
| 4418s | save a load out that you've constructed |
| 4420s | uh so you're going to be able to save |
| 4422s | your skills that you've picked you're |
| 4423s | going to be able to save the equipment |
| 4425s | you've used you're going to be able to |
| 4426s | save the Paragon points you've put in |
| 4428s | and you're going to be able to imprint |
| 4429s | it onto one of these slots in the armor |
| 4431s | you see on the left here in this image |
| 4433s | like this build or excuse me this uh |
| 4435s | character has crush hand touch uh Touch |
| 4437s | of death or touch that quill razor wings |
| 4440s | and pay back so you know this is a |
| 4441s | spirit born that has saved a bunch of |
| 4443s | different builds there um it's really |
| 4445s | wonderful because um you know if you |
| 4449s | want to try a different build like if |
| 4450s | you want to try Touch of death but |
| 4452s | you've spent a really long time um |
| 4454s | working on crushing hand you don't have |
| 4456s | to worry about do like changing all of |
| 4458s | that manually anymore with the Armory |
| 4460s | you can just do it automatically once |
| 4461s | you've created that build you save it |
| 4462s | and then you can swap to it whenever you |
| 4464s | want these loadout slots are also |
| 4466s | character bound so you know you make a |
| 4468s | spear born and then you decide you later |
| 4470s | want to swap to a necro or you know |
| 4471s | whatever um you're going to be able to |
| 4473s | Ure that you have a lot of variety to |
| 4475s | play in each character class uh another |
| 4478s | thing about loadouts is that you know |
| 4480s | they don't cause gold to change so |
| 4481s | you're not going to have a bunch of |
| 4482s | significant gold overhead uh when you're |
| 4485s | actually swapping these so you don't |
| 4486s | have to worry about that at all which is |
| 4488s | very nice um and uh the Armory can be |
| 4491s | accessed through a bunch of different |
| 4493s | places in sanctuary as well including uh |
| 4495s | major cities the dark Citadel the tree |
| 4498s | of Whispers of course which is a major |
| 4500s | focal point of season s and training |
| 4502s | areas so that if you're trying to test |
| 4505s | certain things you can really easily uh |
| 4507s | make adjustments without having to um |
| 4510s | you know spend a lot of time on |
| 4512s | that uh and finally we've got a few PTR |
| 4514s | updates uh that where we gathered |
| 4516s | feedback from the PTR we have improved |
| 4518s | the button Clarity from the PTR if you |
| 4520s | see in the image the little highlighted |
| 4522s | white box section that should be more |
| 4524s | clear uh than it was in the PTR and we |
| 4528s | heard you guys about uh easier Loadout |
| 4530s | deletion we're going to make sure that |
| 4532s | that is much easier to do in |
| 4537s | 2.11 and next up uh we have some |
| 4540s | gameplay updates so these are just some |
| 4542s | miscellaneous things that are coming in |
| 4544s | season 7 related to systemic gameplay uh |
| 4547s | so I'll just go through these one by one |
| 4548s | here we have Paragon migration so any |
| 4553s | experience that you earn uh on your |
| 4555s | paragon levels in the seasonal realm |
| 4558s | once the season is over are going to be |
| 4560s | added to your Eternal realm season uh |
| 4563s | rather your Eternal realm Paragon level |
| 4566s | so if you earn a bunch of paragon XP in |
| 4568s | season 6 and then season 6 ends all of |
| 4571s | that Paragon XP is going to be added to |
| 4573s | your Eternal Paragon level which is |
| 4575s | going to make reaching uh Paragon level |
| 4577s | 300 a lot more uh attainable for a lot |
| 4580s | of folks uh on the internal realm which |
| 4582s | is pretty cool yeah you just get |
| 4583s | progress every season over season on |
| 4585s | your Eternal realm um Paragon to make |
| 4587s | sure you can you can really Reach the |
| 4588s | the heights of that even if you're just |
| 4590s | a seasonal player for the most part when |
| 4592s | you hop into Eternal realm all of that |
| 4593s | progress is going to be carried over |
| 4595s | yeah and it's actually going to be |
| 4596s | really nice because it's I think the way |
| 4597s | I like to think about it is it's even if |
| 4599s | you don't play the on the Eternal realm |
| 4601s | it's kind of like a window into like how |
| 4604s | much you've played the game and how much |
| 4606s | effort you've put in and like you get to |
| 4607s | look at that number and be like oh like |
| 4609s | that's just gets higher and higher it's |
| 4610s | great uh next up we have some unique |
| 4614s | power roll updates so something that you |
| 4616s | might notice uh when you are finding |
| 4619s | unique items is that if they roll |
| 4621s | ancestral and they drop with greater |
| 4624s | fixes that doesn't affect the actual |
| 4627s | unique power roll itself in any way so |
| 4630s | it was possible to find for example a |
| 4633s | three or four greater AIX unique but |
| 4635s | then the actual power roll itself men |
| 4638s | rolled and that could feel pretty |
| 4640s | deflating oh yeah because you would get |
| 4642s | really excited that you found a unique |
| 4643s | that you wanted that had like all the a |
| 4645s | and then you look and it doesn't |
| 4647s | actually feel very usable because the |
| 4649s | power roll itself was very low we're |
| 4651s | changing this in season 7 so now the |
| 4654s | power roll floor changes based on the |
| 4657s | number of G uh greater a fixes that the |
| 4660s | unique has so the more greater a fixes |
| 4662s | it has the higher guaranteed uh role on |
| 4666s | the unique power you're going to get so |
| 4668s | when you do see that three or four |
| 4670s | greater AIX unique you want you know |
| 4672s | it's going to absolutely slap which is |
| 4674s | awesome yeah definitely that was always |
| 4677s | a little bit of a frustrating experience |
| 4678s | when you you get really excited for an |
| 4680s | item drop but then you're like well is |
| 4681s | it really better than what I currently |
| 4683s | have you know you you had to start stop |
| 4685s | and think about that based on the AIX is |
| 4687s | and the unique power role but now if you |
| 4689s | get a three or four GA hey it's you know |
| 4692s | it's going to be powerful it may not be |
| 4693s | guaranteed to be the best one but it's |
| 4695s | going to be you know one of the more |
| 4697s | powerful roles yeah |
| 4699s | absolutely uh and next up we have some |
| 4702s | other ancestral item changes so |
| 4704s | something you may have noticed if you |
| 4705s | were playing a lot of season 6 is that |
| 4708s | ancestral items uh are the only ones |
| 4711s | that can have the top uh aspect rolls |
| 4715s | and what that meant was that those |
| 4718s | ancestral items were still rolling |
| 4720s | randomly so like let's just say for the |
| 4721s | sake of argument that a non-ancestral |
| 4723s | item with an aspect could roll up to uh |
| 4726s | rank eight on that aspect but then the |
| 4728s | ancestral version could roll up to rank |
| 4730s | 11 that ancestral item was still |
| 4733s | randomly like totally randomly ring |
| 4735s | among all the different ranks and that |
| 4737s | made it seem really really really what |
| 4741s | didn't seem it was it was very rare to |
| 4743s | find the top end of these aspect roles |
| 4745s | which actually wasn't the case in |
| 4746s | previous Seasons uh and we were all |
| 4748s | feeling that in season 6 and for the |
| 4751s | completionists out there and the people |
| 4752s | who want to make sure that they have the |
| 4753s | best version of the aspects that they |
| 4755s | can uh we wanted to make sure that we |
| 4757s | changed that so now when you find these |
| 4760s | ancestral items they are going to |
| 4761s | gravitate more towards the top end of |
| 4763s | those aspect roles and should be much |
| 4766s | easier to actually fill out your |
| 4767s | collection uh of aspects than it was |
| 4769s | before in season 6 uh and then as just a |
| 4773s | totally separate but wonderful thing um |
| 4775s | we were working on uh like how often |
| 4778s | ancestral items should actually drop as |
| 4780s | a Baseline and we've just bumped that up |
| 4782s | in season 7 so you should in general |
| 4785s | find more ancestral items than you did |
| 4786s | before um and this is like a very |
| 4790s | something that feels very small but has |
| 4792s | a big impact on the season uh as a whole |
| 4794s | so that should feel a lot better in |
| 4796s | season 7 as well uh and finally |
| 4799s | something else that we were noticing in |
| 4800s | season 6 was that people were finding |
| 4802s | tons and tons of gym fragments and |
| 4804s | sometimes even capping out their gym |
| 4805s | fragments if you played enough and this |
| 4807s | problem was exacerbated in season 6 and |
| 4809s | we want to make sure that you have |
| 4810s | something to do with those gym fragments |
| 4813s | so we created a gym fragment conversion |
| 4816s | uh at the jewel crafter so we have a |
| 4818s | little clip to just show what that looks |
| 4819s | like here so we're in zarban as a |
| 4822s | sorcerer and we're next to the jeweler |
| 4824s | we're going to talk to them there's a |
| 4825s | little tab where you can go to jewelry |
| 4828s | crafting and once you're in the late |
| 4829s | game and you've already crafted all your |
| 4831s | grand gyms and you don't actually have |
| 4832s | much to do with your gym fragments |
| 4834s | anymore now you can just directly |
| 4836s | convert them into jewelry so you can |
| 4838s | craft rings and you can craft amulets |
| 4840s | and it will give you a little cache that |
| 4842s | will have a randomly rolled item um and |
| 4846s | this is just again you know it's a nice |
| 4848s | uh dump basically once you want to just |
| 4852s | uh once you finished all your grand gems |
| 4853s | and you just want to find some extra |
| 4854s | gear and these can roll as ancestral |
| 4857s | items which is wonderful um and amulets |
| 4860s | and rings can you know they have a wide |
| 4864s | uh range of potentially useful stats and |
| 4867s | so being able to just roll those more is |
| 4868s | really nice because you can actually |
| 4870s | like Target Farm the things you need |
| 4871s | absolutely yeah yeah really excited for |
| 4873s | that yep for sure uh and finally we have |
| 4877s | some kind of more quality of life |
| 4880s | centered or early game updates uh that |
| 4882s | should be really nice going forward |
| 4884s | season over season so now that we're in |
| 4887s | season 7 of Diablo I it's possible that |
| 4890s | you may have made a character of Any |
| 4892s | Given class and you might be doing it |
| 4894s | again and it's not always the most fun |
| 4897s | to go through the same content uh over |
| 4899s | and over and so because of that we |
| 4901s | wanted to make sure that you didn't |
| 4902s | actually have to do your class Quest um |
| 4907s | to unlock your class mechanic every |
| 4909s | single time you make a new character so |
| 4912s | for example if you made a sorcerer and |
| 4914s | you unlocked and ch ANS previously |
| 4916s | you're not actually going to have to do |
| 4918s | that again so when you hit level 15 on a |
| 4920s | new sorcerer in any realm you're |
| 4923s | immediately going to unlock an |
| 4924s | enchantment slot um because the game |
| 4927s | knows that you already did that before |
| 4929s | um you can however still do the class |
| 4931s | Quest if you would like but you do not |
| 4933s | have to um and again just to reiterate |
| 4935s | you do have to do the class Quest at |
| 4938s | least once on any character and then on |
| 4940s | your account it's unlocked |
| 4943s | forever um and to go along with this |
| 4945s | change we have a new uh cache that we |
| 4948s | like to call Arch type cach or ar type |
| 4950s | caches rather um so these are basically |
| 4953s | themed goodie bags so they come from a |
| 4956s | variety of sources uh you're going to |
| 4957s | get an arch type cache when you complete |
| 4959s | the class Quest you're going to get them |
| 4961s | periodically over the over the course of |
| 4964s | the Season Journey from different |
| 4965s | chapters and then eventually you're |
| 4967s | going to start earning greater archetype |
| 4968s | caches as well which have better stuff |
| 4971s | we have a clip here to basically just |
| 4972s | show off what an archetype cache looks |
| 4974s | like and what doing your class Quest |
| 4975s | looks like uh in season 7 so we have a |
| 4978s | level 15 sorcerer here who's just going |
| 4980s | to go and do their class quest which is |
| 4982s | the legacy of the Magi over here and the |
| 4986s | reason that this character might want to |
| 4988s | do the class Quest still even though |
| 4989s | let's assume that they have already made |
| 4991s | a sorcerer and have already unlocked |
| 4993s | their enchantment uh is because they're |
| 4995s | going to be getting an arc type cache so |
| 4998s | we're going to go through we're just |
| 4999s | going to do all the the stuff for legacy |
| 5001s | of the Magi get through the |
| 5003s | dungeon um but then at the end we're |
| 5006s | going to get an arch type cache and Arch |
| 5008s | type caches have items and a tempering |
| 5011s | manual that are relevant to a specific |
| 5015s | theme of Any Given class and so I'm glad |
| 5018s | we have sorcerer here because the |
| 5019s | sorcerer themes are very straightforward |
| 5021s | uh for example pyromancy or fire is one |
| 5023s | of the themes in sorcerer so here we see |
| 5026s | we have a pyromancy cache that we got |
| 5028s | from completing the class Quest we're |
| 5029s | going to open it up it's got two |
| 5031s | legendary items a tempering manual and |
| 5033s | some extra materials like bundled herbs |
| 5035s | and Angel breath and Etc uh because it |
| 5039s | was a pyromancy cache it came with a |
| 5041s | utility and a more offensive focused |
| 5044s | legendary that are related to being a |
| 5046s | pyromancy sorcerer uh it also came with |
| 5049s | a pyromancy related tempering manual so |
| 5052s | that really helps you get started on |
| 5053s | your journey as like a fire sorcerer so |
| 5056s | if you find something like that you're |
| 5058s | right out of the gate level 15 you're |
| 5060s | going to get a big jump in power and |
| 5062s | you're going to be able to dive into |
| 5063s | like what it means to be a fire s for it |
| 5065s | pretty quickly yeah I think what I |
| 5066s | really like about this change is that |
| 5068s | you know if you're just playing a new |
| 5070s | character you're you're in the flow |
| 5072s | you're doing the head hunts you're |
| 5073s | leveling up you ding hit level 15 right |
| 5076s | you think oh now I got to go do this |
| 5078s | Quest otherwise I'm missing out on Power |
| 5080s | and sometimes you know you're in that |
| 5081s | flow you don't want to stop and change |
| 5084s | shift gears and go do that class Quest |
| 5086s | you now can do it on your own time right |
| 5088s | you can instantly unlock that that power |
| 5090s | from the class mechanic and then |
| 5092s | whenever you get a chance whenever you |
| 5093s | think hey I want to go do this Quest |
| 5095s | you can go to it and then feel rewarded |
| 5096s | for getting a nice AR type cache that |
| 5098s | really maybe pushes you in a certain |
| 5100s | direction if you're unsure of how you |
| 5102s | want to build your character can help to |
| 5103s | enhance you know the pyroman SE like you |
| 5105s | mentioned yep or Frost or lightning or |
| 5107s | you know every class has its own themes |
| 5109s | so it's going to be fun to dig into |
| 5113s | that cool all right that's awesome yeah |
| 5116s | I think even for that like early game |
| 5117s | too like when you're kind of scrounging |
| 5118s | for materials and uniques it is kind of |
| 5120s | difficult to like hit that next power |
| 5122s | level so knowing that you have like a |
| 5123s | guaranteed now optional U quest to go to |
| 5127s | to get that power and I can speak for |
| 5129s | twitch thatat too uh they were very very |
| 5131s | excited to see that you did not have to |
| 5133s | do the class anymore but that it gives |
| 5135s | you this optional you know power boost |
| 5137s | in in a direction we wanted to make sure |
| 5139s | that it like wasn't worthless if you had |
| 5141s | already done it a lot we wanted to make |
| 5143s | sure that there was still something |
| 5144s | there to feel like it was a meaningful |
| 5146s | Quest so yeah but not so good that you |
| 5147s | feel like you're missing out if you're |
| 5149s | exactly exactly taking care of things |
| 5151s | over in the head hunts and things like |
| 5152s | that yep uh well that brings us to our |
| 5155s | Q&A portion of the stream so we're going |
| 5157s | to bring Dan tangue back uh and we're |
| 5160s | going to answer some of your |
| 5161s | hard-hitting questions so thank you for |
| 5163s | everyone who have dropped uh questions |
| 5164s | in twitch chat throughout the stream um |
| 5167s | I've also been laughing at your |
| 5168s | commentary throughout it's been pretty |
| 5169s | good |
| 5171s | uh so uh first off I want to drop a |
| 5175s | question from doggo asked will there be |
| 5177s | a mid-season patch with balance changes |
| 5179s | yeah I can of talk about that uh we are |
| 5181s | currently planning to have a mid-season |
| 5183s | balance patch like we do every season um |
| 5186s | I just want to reiterate some of the |
| 5187s | philosophy around mid-season patches as |
| 5189s | well um for our mid-season patches we're |
| 5191s | mainly looking at at taking the data |
| 5194s | from when the season launches so |
| 5196s | honestly we haven't started looking at |
| 5198s | the mid-season patch at all because it's |
| 5199s | so heavily driven by what actually |
| 5201s | happens when the season launches what |
| 5203s | builds are performing well what builds |
| 5205s | are not performing well if there's |
| 5207s | anything that is bugged or broken to the |
| 5209s | point where you know it's it's |
| 5211s | trivializing the game that might be |
| 5212s | something we look at in general en for |
| 5215s | midseason patches that happen well in |
| 5218s | the middle of the Season we're primarily |
| 5220s | looking to bring up the underperformers |
| 5223s | or or fix issues of of interactions that |
| 5226s | that maybe aren't quite seeing the the |
| 5227s | spotlight that we were expecting them to |
| 5230s | we're not really looking to to take the |
| 5232s | top builds and Nerf them right uh |
| 5234s | because we know players have already had |
| 5236s | time to invest in their characters |
| 5239s | they've got the gear they've they've |
| 5240s | leveled it up they've they've uh you |
| 5242s | know read build guides like hey how do I |
| 5244s | make this character and we feel like if |
| 5246s | we're taking that those down in the |
| 5249s | middle of a season that really does a |
| 5251s | disservice to players that you know you |
| 5253s | you are afraid of making the powerful |
| 5255s | thing because it might get nerfed in the |
| 5257s | mid-season so that's something we avoid |
| 5260s | um there of course sometimes rare |
| 5262s | exceptions when when they're so far |
| 5264s | above our power bar or they are |
| 5266s | literally breaking the game due to uh |
| 5268s | performance related issues which |
| 5270s | occasionally pop up um those things we |
| 5272s | still will address when we need to but |
| 5275s | in general mid-season patches are not |
| 5277s | for for nerfing strong builds if they're |
| 5279s | just strong and that's partly why during |
| 5282s | season six we knew that you know Spirit |
| 5284s | born was a very powerful class like no |
| 5286s | get around it it was definitely stronger |
| 5288s | than the other classes on season six um |
| 5291s | but that was okay we didn't want to make |
| 5293s | any kind of uh snap judgment of like oh |
| 5295s | we need to Nerf it here in mid-season we |
| 5297s | know players had been invested into it |
| 5299s | and we want to respect their time and |
| 5301s | investment into that it's important that |
| 5302s | there's a sense of security and picking |
| 5304s | a build and knowing that it is going to |
| 5306s | stay viable when you're playing it |
| 5308s | throughout the season yeah and kind of |
| 5310s | as a Cory to that whenever we do |
| 5312s | seasonal updates like launch a brand new |
| 5314s | season that is more when we're going to |
| 5316s | look and say hey what is dramatically |
| 5318s | overperforming what is crowding out the |
| 5320s | rest of the roster like Spirit born |
| 5323s | during season 6 was maybe crowding out |
| 5325s | some of the other classes we take the |
| 5327s | seasonal resets as a time to say that's |
| 5330s | when we're going to bring those builds |
| 5331s | down and that's when everyone is |
| 5333s | starting fresh on the new |
| 5337s | you're |
| 5339s | it's yeah and on the system side uh in |
| 5342s | terms of midseason changes uh it's |
| 5345s | really important to us that we have a |
| 5347s | very targeted approach to systemic |
| 5349s | changes in mid-season patches we want to |
| 5350s | make sure that we are gathering as much |
| 5353s | data as possible and as much information |
| 5355s | as we can to ensure that any tweaks we |
| 5357s | make aren't going to cause waves or |
| 5361s | changes that we weren't expecting or are |
| 5363s | undesirable uh so we really want to |
| 5365s | gather as much like Telemetry and data |
| 5367s | as possible from like how people are |
| 5369s | actually experiencing this season and |
| 5371s | then kind of patch those pain points |
| 5373s | that people uh that that we all find |
| 5376s | together um and and we want to wait to |
| 5378s | make sure that we're doing it right uh |
| 5381s | so we really want to know how people are |
| 5383s | going to be playing season of the |
| 5384s | Witchcraft uh and then we'll basically |
| 5387s | figure out what needs to happen and |
| 5389s | change from there yeah and that's why so |
| 5391s | much of the the feedback from PTR or |
| 5394s | even just throughout the regular seasons |
| 5396s | all the feedback we really do listen to |
| 5397s | it and and it's so important to us to |
| 5399s | make sure that we can make Diablo 4 as |
| 5401s | best as we possibly can it's really |
| 5402s | critical that we get that feedback and |
| 5404s | we're able to iterate on that |
| 5406s | absolutely awesome that is a super |
| 5409s | thorough answer for I mean like I I'll |
| 5412s | take all the information you got so |
| 5413s | that's fantastic uh this one's probably |
| 5415s | for you aen from oh boy okay bear with |
| 5419s | me |
| 5421s | here p pap serup Sean do the class Quest |
| 5426s | caches scale to the level when they're |
| 5427s | opened oh yes they absolutely do um so |
| 5430s | you can get it early or you can get it |
| 5432s | later but uh the arch type caches that |
| 5435s | you find in the class Quest aren't |
| 5437s | actually the only place you can find |
| 5438s | Arch type caches you're going to be able |
| 5440s | to get more from the season Journey uh |
| 5442s | and other sources as well so they're not |
| 5444s | ex they're not exactly like a super |
| 5446s | finite Supply so you don't have to think |
| 5448s | too hard about like exactly when you |
| 5451s | should be opening them um the class |
| 5453s | Quest is just one among many sources |
| 5456s | that you can earn in Arc cash you don't |
| 5457s | have to like sit on it throughout the |
| 5458s | whole season to be like all right when |
| 5459s | am I going to pop this thing yeah and |
| 5461s | nice to have some extra goodies as |
| 5462s | you're on your way to get Dorian The |
| 5464s | Raven of course because we know that's |
| 5467s | the most important thing I mean I don't |
| 5469s | want to say but dorian's pretty cool uh |
| 5472s | also on a similar thread The Collector |
| 5473s | Casey asks is the class Quest unlock |
| 5476s | retroactive as of right now or only |
| 5478s | after we complete it this season yeah so |
| 5481s | as long it's retroactive so as long as |
| 5483s | you complet it you know you've done the |
| 5485s | sorcerer Quest before on a sorcerer at |
| 5487s | any point during Diablo you're good to |
| 5488s | go nice uh from the Discord uh bacterial |
| 5493s | cool name uh can we expect the summon |
| 5496s | tag to work with minion thorns and any |
| 5498s | update on bristleback aspect working |
| 5501s | with |
| 5504s | minions uh I believe they should I I'd |
| 5507s | have to look into precisely minion |
| 5509s | Thorns I know that was a a stat that you |
| 5512s | know your your summons can inherit |
| 5514s | Thorns um that was a stat that I uh H |
| 5520s | I'd have to look into exactly |
| 5521s | bristleback aspect but as a general |
| 5523s | matter our philosophy on on Minion |
| 5526s | thorns and and minions in general is if |
| 5528s | you think it should work it should the |
| 5531s | interactions of when you deal Thorns |
| 5533s | damage it should if your minions are the |
| 5536s | ones triggering that Thorns damage it |
| 5538s | should count as if you had dealt it um I |
| 5542s | I don't have that right in front of me |
| 5543s | that particular interaction but that is |
| 5545s | our philosophy and if that's not |
| 5547s | happening then we'll look to address it |
| 5548s | and improve that moving forward cool |
| 5550s | thank you uh just had a question |
| 5554s | from AOE Alina uh are there plans to |
| 5557s | reduce visual clutter such as opacity |
| 5560s | slider I love Sorcerer And spearb but |
| 5562s | the visual effects are hindering my |
| 5566s | party um I think that would probably be |
| 5569s | something that we would have to talk to |
| 5571s | the UI team about and uh the folks over |
| 5573s | in VFX |
| 5575s | um it's something that we've been |
| 5576s | grappling with throughout the life of |
| 5577s | Diablo because you know there's so much |
| 5579s | happening especially when you have an |
| 5581s | AME build um and you know if that gets |
| 5585s | so out of hand like uh with new seasonal |
| 5588s | mechanics or new powers or legendary |
| 5590s | aspects that we create it's something |
| 5592s | that we'll be taking a look at uh every |
| 5593s | time something like that comes up yeah I |
| 5595s | totally get it too because like when |
| 5596s | you're playing Spirit boorn like you |
| 5598s | know what to look for as you're casting |
| 5599s | these abilities but if you're just |
| 5601s | around it then it can be a little |
| 5602s | overwhelming like when I have friends |
| 5604s | that come by that perhaps haven't played |
| 5605s | a Diablo game before they're like how do |
| 5607s | you know what to look at it's like you |
| 5608s | just kind of figure it out um but I can |
| 5610s | totally see how that could be um a bit |
| 5612s | of a a distraction on the screen |
| 5616s | um oh angin San for the Q&A how do |
| 5621s | hydras work with the new summoning |
| 5622s | changes and how does burning damage work |
| 5624s | in comparison to poison another very |
| 5627s | technical question absolutely so so |
| 5629s | luckily um you know I did include the |
| 5631s | sorcerer conjurations in the summons |
| 5633s | update when I talked about them but |
| 5635s | actually for the most part the the |
| 5637s | conjurations were already behaving this |
| 5639s | way and that was part of the |
| 5640s | inconsistency that I kind of had glossed |
| 5642s | over said hey they were inconsistent and |
| 5645s | you know since now we're in the more |
| 5646s | technical part the inconsistency was |
| 5648s | that uh most of the sorcer conjurations |
| 5650s | were already behaving the way that we |
| 5653s | wanted them to right um where the damage |
| 5655s | was being uh attributed to the player |
| 5657s | and it was actually the necro minions |
| 5660s | and uh Shadow clone and Druid companions |
| 5663s | primarily that were uh not as |
| 5666s | interactive as we would have liked um so |
| 5668s | with that in mind there's actually no |
| 5670s | real functional changes to the way that |
| 5672s | Hydra uh works with this um I don't |
| 5674s | believe Hydra was really touched but it |
| 5675s | was actually used as kind of the example |
| 5678s | of how we wanted to implement and uh |
| 5680s | make the other summons |
| 5682s | work uh one question I do want to take |
| 5685s | really quickly that I've seen throughout |
| 5686s | chat I mean it was really hard to ignore |
| 5689s | um people are asking where Adam was I |
| 5691s | mean I think we just have to address it |
| 5692s | straight up Adam Fletcher |
| 5694s | um is no longer with blizzard which is |
| 5697s | really too bad so uh you won't really be |
| 5699s | seeing him in a whole lot of other |
| 5700s | streams so really sorry to disappoint |
| 5702s | chat you're stuck with us just kidding |
| 5703s | he's been |
| 5705s | here just kidding just kidding Adam |
| 5708s | staying forever is Adam in the room with |
| 5710s | us right |
| 5711s | now yeah yeah to be clear Adam has |
| 5714s | literally sat two feet to the left this |
| 5716s | entire time just like for the whole |
| 5719s | stream just hanging out checking out |
| 5721s | watching chat so uh yeah Adam Adam is |
| 5723s | here to stay do not worry um all |
| 5728s | right do |
| 5731s | that all right love from Judith stash |
| 5734s | space is already a problem for anyone |
| 5736s | running multiple characters are there |
| 5738s | any plans to change Armory load outs so |
| 5740s | that they will not be stored in |
| 5742s | stash um you know it's something the |
| 5744s | Armory is is very new we um we knew that |
| 5747s | the community really really wanted the |
| 5749s | Armory and so we wanted to get out a |
| 5751s | version of it that we uh you know was |
| 5754s | serviceable to get started uh but we |
| 5756s | know it's a really really important |
