One of the biggest novelties that the Diablo IV Vessel of Hatred expansion has left us is the Spiritualistthe new class that has proven to be one of the most fun to play and the most devastating in the entire game. A big reason for this is that some of his stats had been overpowered, which was causing this character to deal a really exaggerated amount of damage.
Blizzard was fully aware of this situation and has decided to remedy it once and for all. This is because the future Season 7, among many changes and novelties, will bring with it a series of modifications to the Spiritualist so that players stop dealing billions of damage. In fact, these same ones will already be available in the test realm of the future season.
In one of the latest videos published By the company, some members of the development team, including Colin Finer and Charles Dunn, the design director and the game director, respectively, have been talking at length about what can we expect in the next big update that will be implemented. Among them there will be some destined for the Spiritualist because, as they have confessed, it is something very important for the health of the action RPG.
We warned from the beginning that the Spiritualist was one or several levels above most classes. Players have fun, people like playing the Spiritualist, he is very powerful and we like that, but we have to recognize that for the long-term health of the game it is important that we have a little better class parity, so you don't feel like you're doing it wrong if you don't play with the Spiritualist.
One of the biggest causes of this situation is an object known as Kepeleke Roda uniquely powerful staff that increases all critical hit damage by 1% to 3% for each point of stamina consumed. On the other hand, the nerf you will receive will cause that percentage to be between 0.1% and 0.5% for each point spent.
We think this will leave you in a much healthier place, but still retain the core fantasy and core setting implications of this item. It will not generate the same billions of damage that we saw before.
The realm of testing will open its doors on December 3 and the patch notes related to it will be released this week, on December 27. As for Season 7 itself, it still does not have a date for its premiere, although it will most likely arrive in January if we follow the same example of what has happened so far that each season lasts about three months. .
