In the campfire chat live broadcast held on November 12, the developers of Diablo 4 revealed a lot of updates and optimizations that may be made to the game in the future. There are both prospects for the seventh season and explanations of the upcoming mid-term patch.

Regarding the specific content of the mid-term patch, the game developers mentioned many aspects in the campfire chat, but the most concerned topic is undoubtedly Spiritborn. As a new class introduced in DLC, Spiritborn has become the first choice for players to play DLC and Season 6 because of its extraordinary strength since its appearance - maybe you are one of them.

Although this can give you a good combat experience through Spiritborn, from all perspective, it is obviously not fair to players who play other classes.

Although other classes can buy Diablo 4 Gold to exchange for more powerful equipment and weapons to make up for the gap with Spiritborn, this phenomenon undoubtedly destroys the balance of the game. Therefore, there have always been calls for weakening Spiritborn since the release of DLC.

Then I believe you must also want to know whether Diablo 4 will make adjustments to the strength of Spiritborn in the upcoming mid-term patch. So let us introduce it to you.

Spiritborn Will Not Be Weakened In The Short Term

In this campfire chat, game developers said that nearly 60% of players are currently using Spiritborn, causing the remaining five classes to have a significant decline in popularity. In contrast, the most popular Sorcerer in Season 5 only attracted about 30% of players.

There is no doubt that if you have also experienced Spiritborn, you will find that the reason it is so popular is that it is very fun to play and has strong combat power, which can help you knock down monsters at an amazing speed. In fact, all this is not intentional in the game developers. It may just be that they overlooked some factors when designing Spiritborn.

Diablo 4 has already fixed some bugs that caused Spiritborn to deal too much damage, one of which was that Spiritborn could continuously release powerful streams of charged feathers, which reduced the frame rate of other online players and affected the operation of the entire game system. Fortunately, the situation has been significantly improved after the fix.

There are no other obvious system bugs for Spiritborn at present, but because of the unintentional synergy between its skills, Spiritborn is still much more powerful than a normal class should be. Given this, you might guess that Diablo 4 will give Spiritborn a proper nerf in the mid-term patch, but in fact it is not the case.

In the campfire chat, the game developers said that they will not nerf Spiritborn in the middle of Season 6, but use this patch to increase the damage output of other classes, making the competition between classes more fair than in the past.

Of course, this overall enhancement did not skip Spiritborn. While Spiritborn buffs are small compared to the buffs for other classes, this patch will buff the skills of the class that you don’t use often, which will help you develop more Spiritborn builds.

What Will Spiritborn Look Like In Season 7?

While the game’s developers have said that one goal of the mid-season patch is to raise the minimum standard for all classes, they also said that further adjustments will be made in Season 7 to bring Spiritborn level closer to that of all other classes.

Diablo 4 class designer Adam Jackson claims that in Season 7, the game will fix all unexpected interactions in Spiritborn. So you can enjoy Spiritborn, which is still very powerful now, while you look forward to Spiritborn in Season 7.

Although Diablo 4 has not yet revealed the specific changes to Spiritborn in Season 7, or given a clear range of the reduction in Spiritborn’s damage output that you might accept, you will have a chance to preview these changes before Season 7 begins.

Because after Thanksgiving, Diablo 4 will launch a PTR for you to test the upcoming Spiritborn nerfs. We currently expect Season 7 to be launched on the game’s main servers around mid-January, and Diablo 4 developers will also share more details about PTR in another live broadcast at some point next week.

Whatever adjustments Spiritborn gets, they are sure to cause some controversy. After all, it is difficult to please everyone. Since the upcoming changes are designed to fix Spiritborn’s unexpected interactions, you may experience a slightly nerfed Spiritborn later, and the situation in Season 7 may not be worse than this.

However, there are still a few months to go before Season 7, so you might as well enjoy the still-powerful Spiritborn class now and accumulate enough game materials to prepare for the new changes that will appear in Diablo 4 later.

Diablo 4 Season 7 will focus on tracking down the reborn evil Mephisto. As one of the most iconic villains in Diablo series, Mephisto returns to the game world as Lord of Hatred, bringing players unprecedented challenges and adventures. However, before officially embarking on this exciting pursuit, make sure you have completed all the content in Vessel of Hatred expansion, because we will dive into its ending next.

It is worth noting that Diablo Season 6 and Vessel of Hatred expansion are actually two separate but closely related content released on the same day. Their stories both involve Mephisto’s return. By participating in these activities, players will learn that Mephisto is the demonic Lord of Hatred, Diablo’s brother, and the current main villain of Diablo 4.

At the end of the base game of Diablo 4, you are faced with a hard decision: what to do with Mephisto, the powerful Lord of Hatred. After a fierce battle and much deliberation, players decide that Mephisto is a greater threat to Sanctuary than Lilith, another major villain in the game.

To ensure that the demon does not threaten the world again, the heroes decide to use a magic stone to permanently lock Mephisto’s soul in Vessel of Hatred. Despite the heroes’ best efforts to prevent any possibility of this happening, Mephisto manages to escape.

Mephisto Possesses The Body Of Akarat

After Diablo 4 DLC, Mephisto’s threat has reached an all-time high. Not only has he escaped his bonds, but he has also possessed Akarat, a figure hailed as a savior in Diablo lore, making him more dangerous than ever. Akarat himself possesses powerful supernatural powers, and now these powers are being harnessed by Mephisto, making him nearly unstoppable.

Although Mephisto seems to have disappeared at the end of Vessel of Hatred, the essence of evil is immortal, and it is only a matter of time before he reappears and corrupts everything he touches.

This uncertainty casts a vast shadow on Sanctuary, as no one knows where Mephisto will appear next and how he will bring disaster. Therefore, it is crucial to buy Diablo 4 Gold to better prepare yourself, whether it is to upgrade equipment or obtain rare items.

Vessel of Hatred seems to be a magnificent tribute to Diablo 2. In Diablo 2, players witnessed the story of Diablo possessing a hero who defeated him in Diablo 1. Now, by letting Mephisto appear in human form, the series retells the classic Dark Wanderer angle in a new way.

Chasing Mephisto and witnessing his profound impact on different regions and characters undoubtedly constitute a suspenseful and exciting adventure. As he walks the world as Akarat and sows the seeds of hatred, this provides the development team with a great opportunity to carefully weave a series of gripping story chapters through the second major expansion in 2025.

Starting with Season 7, which kicks off immediately, players will first witness Akarat spreading blessings while hiding the secret curse of hatred spread by Mephisto. This season will serve as a fascinating starting point to gradually uncover the tip of the iceberg of Mephisto’s true intentions.

Road To Hatred

To achieve this goal, the development team must design seasonal content beyond the traditional framework of introducing new Helltide gimmicks or single dungeon modes. Instead, it should be deeply integrated into the storytelling, just like Season 5 did by introducing new and coherent quest lines.

In fact, looking back at Realmwalker event, it can be found that although it is very interesting in itself, if a large expansion like Vessel of Hatred does not accompany it, Season 6 will seem a little thin compared to previous seasons. Future seasonal updates should learn from and build on the revelation of Lilith’s followers’ actions after her defeat in Season 5 to build a more three-dimensional background story for the game.

The strategy adopted by the development team in Season 5 to release new quests in both seasonal and Eternal Realms was indeed a significant move, ensuring that all players can enjoy these fascinating contents, rather than just some new NPCs as background provides for the same quests.

For Season 7 and beyond, the player community expects to see more similar in-depth content, especially around Mephisto and his evil plan. Through the carefully designed quest chain, players can not only experience exciting battles in the process of tracking down this ultimate villain, but also deeply feel the progress of the story.

As for endgame content, past works in Diablo series such as Kurast Undercity, Realmwalkers, Infernal Hordes, Pit, and Dark Citadel have demonstrated its profound skills in building complex and changing game environments and enemy designs.

Players are full of expectations for how Season 7 will adjust and incorporate these classic elements, and hope to see that the developers can bring refreshing creativity and challenges while retaining the original essence.
