Diablo 4 dev explains stat scaling for Season 3 robot companion Blizzard EntertainmentA Blizzard developer has explained how stat scaling will work for Diablo 4 Season 3\u2019s robot Seneschal Companion. Blizzard recently lifted the veil on Diablo 4 Season 3 \u2013 aka Season of the Construct. The big update will go live on January 23, introducing a new questline, dungeons in the form of Vaults, and powerful technology called the Loom. But the Loom hardly counts as the only piece of technology that will allow players to access more power. Season 3 additionally promises to usher in a robot buddy, the Seneschal Companion. Magical Governing and Tuning Stones will be used to augment the mechanical bot\u2019s skillset. While there\u2019s still much to be learned about the companion, one Blizzard developer has shared more insight. Diablo 4\u2019s robot companion will scale 1:1 with player stats In response to fan questions, D4 Class Designer Sean White \u2013 Lupgaron on Twitter\/X \u2013 has outlined how scaling for the Seneschal Companion will work in Season 3. The developer noted that the robot\u2019s stats will scale 1:1 with those of the player. As such, \u201cYour attack rating is its attack rating. Your crit is its crit, etc.\u201d When asked if this level of scaling applies to aspects, unique damage buffs, paragon nodes, and the like, the designer explained that the Seneschal will inherit a user\u2019s raw stat increase and damage bonus effect. White continued, \u201cHowever, the Seneschal does not proc your legendary\/paragon\/etc. passive effects.\u201d Replies to White\u2019s comments show players hope Diablo 4\u2019s necromancer minions will receive the same attention as the new robot partners. One user remarked, \u201cDamn, give some of this love to necro minions!\u201d Someone in a Reddit thread had the same thought, writing, \u201cok cool \u2013 let\u2019s do this with necro minions so it\u2019s a viable build path.\u201d Given the recent upset surrounding endgame builds for the Necromancer, the advent of the Seneschal Companion could cause quite a stir. Blizzard will likely share more about Season 3 and the companion system during the next Campfire Chat on January 18.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
