On top of these changes to each act type, hired mercenaries will now be the same level as your character. Mercenaries have long been in need of a rework due to the dominance of the Act 2 Desert type. You can read the full list of class changes in Blizzard's official patch notes. There are way more changes that I didn't list here for the sake of space. Bone Armor is also getting a buff for better protection.Īnd finally, the Sorceress - arguably the most powerful class in the game - is mostly seeing her underutilized skills get a bit of a buff for better diversity. Necromancers are seeing their Skeletal Mages buffed to promote better build diversity. Casting delays and synergies are being reworked, as well as better functionality when shapeshifting at the same time. The Druid is getting a ton of love, most notably for the fire portion of the Elemental skill tree. The Assassin Martial Arts skill tree is essentially all being buffed to make it better for end-game content, and casting delays for Shadow Disciplines and new synergies with Traps should make for more diverse play. Barbarians are notably getting a buff to throwing and leap skills, as well as a rework to synergies with combat skills and shouts.
