It was awesome that the moment we saw it, we felt pretty confident we'd made it D2R Ladder Items through the landing. But immediately the feedback became"Well, what if you tune this, or alter this, or even a new meta or create items similar to this.' So we were extremely excited to see how we could bring this forward."


The aim of patch 2.4. Gallerani stated, is to make more class builds possible, but in order to keep the game completely balanced. "The way we approached this is that we're not with a nerfing system, is it?" he said. "We all know that people love Hammerdin. We're not removing that from people. If you enjoyed your builds and you still do, you will continue to be awed by that build."


Although patch 2.4 brings major balance changes However, it's not expected to fundamentally change how Diablo is played mechanically. Some monsters on higher difficulty for instance, will still be invulnerable to fire, a mechanism gallerani described to be "a one-way bridge" in the context of changing something that, if implemented, could alter the game entirely.


Another thing that won't change is that caster-focused characters will still generally be more powerful than many melee-focused characters. This is due to how melee is used in Diablo the game, which Gallerani described as more "unreliable" when compared to characters that primarily are based on ranged capabilities.


"That being said, a lot of our changes focus focused on building classes that aren't as feasible," he said. "We did not touch, for example, the Sorceress as much as Buy D2R Ladder Items we did the others because she's currently working well. In contrast, the other characters, like your Barbs like your Assassins we gave them a bit more affection."
