Diablo 4 1.1.1 patch notes and changes explained
The full patch notes for the Diablo 4 1.1.1 update are now live! As expected, this is a massive patch.
It's so big, in fact, that we're not going to list them all out here - else you'd be here all day. Instead, we're going to go through the list of notable changes, before dropping a handy link to the official full list at the end of the page.
The 1.1.1 update to Diablo 4 brings with it an exhaustive list of balance adjustments to classes. Primarily, the Sorcerer and Barbarian.
Following the new Diablo 4 update, your Barbarian and/or Sorcerer should be more effective than ever. The Sorcerer, for example, has had its Paragon Board improved, meaning it should now have better late-game survivability.
In addition, the Sorcerer is being moved away from "Kiss-Curse" effects, which means you should see fewer instances of gaining power in one area and losing it in another.
The Barbarian, meanwhile, has had its combat flow sped up in the early-game, thanks to a boost of Fury generation on its basic skills. The power of unique Barbarian items has also been increased to add more fun to late-game moments.
The Rogue, Druid and Necromancer classes have all been changed, too.
Another major change following the 1.1.1 update in Diablo 4 is monster density. This has been increased in Nightmare Dungeons and in Helltide. Bosses above level 60 have also been made more difficult:
- Bosses at Level 60 and below remain unchanged.
- Bosses at Level 80 have 50% increased health.
- Bosses at Level 100 have 100% increased health.
- Bosses at Level 120 have 120% increased health.
- Bosses at Level 150 and above have 150% increased health.
Any boss, too, over level 35 has a 100 per cent chance of dropping a legendary item. Treasure Goblins and Legion Events are also more likely to drop legendary items.
Alongside all of this, there are plenty of other gameplay changes and bug fixes in the update. Check out the official website to see the full list of Diablo 4 1.1.1 patch notes in detail.
