Diablo 4 1.0.3 patch notes: Class-based balance changes, Aspect buffs, more Blizzard EntertainmentBlizzard has shared patch notes for Diablo 4\u2019s 1.0.3 update, which features bug fixes, balance adjustments, and more for all platforms. Diablo 4 launched earlier this month to much acclaim, but the ARPG still needs some work before reaching its full potential. As such, Blizzard continues to push out new hotfixes and larger updates, all in an effort to address lingering issues and player feedback. The latest of such updates went live on Tuesday, June 27 for PC and consoles, introducing a host of noteworthy changes and bug fixes. From class balance to quality of life changes that have been extremely well-received by players, this patch has it all. Diablo 4 makes huge changes to all classes The studio notably addressed Class-specific balance changes, saying \u201c[w]e\u2019re continuing our efforts to make all Class builds feel fun and powerful with another round of balance updates. In particular, we have seen community feedback stating that Basic Skills aren\u2019t impactful enough in combat.\u201d Barbarian mains can expect the Iron Warrior Legendary Aspect to have its Damage Reduction increased from 10-20% to 15-25%. Druids should be pleased with the new buffs for Passives, which increase the Damage Bonus of Lupine Ferocity from 60% to 70%. Notably, the Necromancer\u2019s Fastblood power will see its Ultimate Cooldown Reduction increased from .5-1 to 1-1.5 seconds. One interesting Rogue change will buff the Base damage of Barrage from 20% to 22%. And Sorcerers who love throwing Fireballs will be pleased to learn the Mana cost for this power has decreased from 40 to 35. Here are the patch notes for Diablo 1.0.3.
