Diablo 4 Season 2: Balance and Experiences Update ( Part 2 )

To keep you updated on Diablo 4 Season 2: Season Of Blood, Golden Horse Gaming will give you part 2 of this series about Experiences and Balance Update of Diablo 4’s new season in this article. Let’s see it right below, it would be the big change in this season.

Diablo 4 Season 2: Balance Update

Unique Items

Unique objects will have an influence on your construction and provide an exciting moment when they drop. Some Unique products were falling short of this aim, thus the publisher is altering them in a few ways to guarantee that these items are distinct and appealing:

• Add new Affixes to objects that did not previously exist.
• Affixes that already exist, but with a significantly greater value than typical, can be added.
• Insert Affixes into Slots where they would not typically exist.
• Make Unique abilities more desired.

The Butcher’s Cleaver

• The damage of the Crowd Controlled Enemies affix has been raised by 160%.

Frostburn

• The duration of the freeze has been extended by 70%.
• Attack Speed has taken the role of the Cold Damage affix.

Diablo 4 Season 2: Resistance

• Resistances accumulated inversely multiplicatively prior to Season of Blood, with each new source of resistance being less effective.
• For example, suppose you had three sources of 20% resistance. The first source would supply the whole 20%, the second 16%, and the third 12.8%, for a total of 48.8% resistance.
• Resistances will now build additively beginning with Season of Blood. Resistance numbers are now capped at 70%.
• For example, suppose you have 30% resistance and an item offers you 20% resistance. You now have a total resistance of 50%.
• Resistance-enhancing elixirs now raise the player’s maximum resistance value as well.

• The maximum value for a completely upgraded Normal item is +6%/+6%, +8%/+8% for Sacred, and +10%/+10% for Ancestral.
• The inherent affixes of amulets have been modified to give a completely upgraded Normal item +14% Resistance to All Elements, a Sacred item +19%, and an Ancestral item +24%.
