Many players still feel this improvement falls short of being truly remarkable.
With just under a week remaining, Diablo 4 players will enter Season 2 - a critical period that could determine the game's fate as Blizzard's flagship has nearly hit rock bottom. Diablo 4 enthusiasts have endured three months of misery due to Season 1's woes, and if Season 2 fails to bring about any improvements, few patient players will remain loyal to Diablo 4.
In the upcoming Season of Blood, Blizzard has unveiled a slew of upcoming features and changes. Of particular note is the rebalancing of the power of the 5 character classes, with the Sorcerer class - previously the weakest in Season 1 - receiving a massive buff this time around. Consequently, the Sorcerer class remains unaffected by the reduction in critical hit damage on equipment and the character's skill system. Moreover, the damage inflicted by the Sorcerer's Hydra skill has been increased by an impressive 400%.
Hence, it's no surprise that many Diablo 4 gamers intend to return and opt for the Sorcerer in the new version. However, there's still widespread belief that the buffs for Diablo 4's Sorcerer class are inadequate. Specifically, numerous players argue that the Sorcerer's biggest disadvantage remains the lack of damage over time. Additionally, the lack of defensive abilities and improvements will continue to pose numerous challenges for the Sorcerer in dungeon crawling. Indeed, this notion holds merit since high damage counts for little if the character succumbs after just one hit from a monster.
Nevertheless, everything may hinge on the launch of Diablo 4 Season 2. It's worth noting that the update is slated to be rolled out by Blizzard on October 17th for all platforms. This will be the time when assessments of Diablo 4 will be most authentic. Will it herald a fresh start, or will it perpetuate the string of dismal days for this masterpiece? The answer will emerge in less than a week.
