Diablo 4 Carry Run

In the past 2024, Diablo 4’s performance can be said to be very impressive, such as providing players with 4 seasons of different game content (Season 3 - Season 6), releasing the game’s first expansion, Vessel of Hatred DLC, and various improvements in the game’s quality of life and mechanics.

Of course, these outstanding achievements are presented to all players by the developers. Is this really the case? Unfortunately, in the summer of 2024, Diablo 4’s daily active players gradually decreased due to the impact of Elden Ring’s new expansion Shadow of the Erdtree. In the past December, because of the release of Path of Exile 2 Early Access, many D4 players have flowed to this game with plenty of gimmicks.

So in the current 2025, is Diablo 4, a game that has been released for a year and a half, still worth exploring for players? In fact, there is no definite conclusion to this question, because it is uncertain what changes will happen to D4 or other games in 2025, and every player will definitely have an answer of their own. Here we will dialectically look at whether the game Diablo 4 is worth continuing to spend time and energy to play in the new year based on the needs of different groups of people.

For Diablo 4 Enthusiasts

For players who only love the excitement and crazy exploration experience brought by Diablo 4, 2025 is definitely a year worth continuing the exploration journey. First of all, in the first month of the year, January 21, Season 7 will be released. In this new season, you will feel that a new power called Witch Powers has been added to the game, which will make the complete game shrouded in a more mysterious color.

Players familiar with this game must know that this is the tradition of Diablo 4. In each new season, players will be brought a system or mechanism that will make earth-shaking changes to the game content. For example, last season, Spiritborn that can use various animal spirits was added, which made a huge change in the build level in the game - Spiritborn build became the darling of players.

Although Roadmap of Diablo 4 in 2025 has not been officially announced at this stage, under the condition that the developers carefully listen to the suggestions and feedback of players, its performance in 2025 will definitely not be too bad, and it can even attract more players with different skill levels to join it. So as a loyal fan of D4, are you looking forward to seeing more new players in the game?

It is also worth explaining to you that in your future explorations, you can get more game products, such as items or gold, through the gift channel in IGGM Discord, which will make your exploration in future seasons easier and more enjoyable.

As Passerby Players

For those players who often hang out in various MMORPGs, it is a bit unworthy to spend a lot of time and energy on Diablo 4. First, under the impact of many similar games, the number of daily active players of Diablo 4 is gradually decreasing, which makes it impossible for you to find enough teammates when you are exploring in a party form.

Although Diablo 4 provides a lot of tolerance for some single-player exploration players, some late-game bosses or campaigns are very difficult to pass if explored alone, and even require nearly dozens of hours on them. This is very disadvantageous for players who have other game options, because they will directly give up this difficult grinding and turn to more interesting and simple activities in other games.

More importantly, with the change of seasons, it takes more time and effort to obtain a large amount of Diablo 4 Gold in the game, and the demand for Gold in the game has also increased greatly, which will make players often feel that they can’t make ends meet and then give up the game.

Speaking of spending, the overall cost of Diablo 4 is also much higher than similar games. First, the basic game requires you to spend $49.99. If you want to experience the game content in the new expansion, you have to spend $69.99 to get Vessel of Hatred expansion. For the same type of Last Epoch, you only need $34.99 to explore the basic game, and even Ultimate Edition only costs you $64.99. In this case, I believe that some passers-by players will be more willing to choose a more cost-effective game to play.

Although Supporter Pack in Path of Exile 2 Early Access currently costs you $29.99 to get, given the grand storyline and more worthy game mechanics in this game, more passers-by players are more willing to explore it. Not only that, its original work, which was released nearly ten years ago, has always maintained an excellent reputation among many players, and the equally highly anticipated POE 3.26 is also expected to be released in February 2025. Under the impact of these two games, Diablo 4 may have even less market share, and fewer and fewer players will explore it.

In addition, Elden Ring, which caused the initial impact on D4 last summer, will also launch a derivative game in 2025 called Elden Ring Nightreign, which will support players to play couch Co-Op, which is one feature that Diablo 4 players have always dreamed of. The announcement of this derivative game may cause D4, a game that is used to being self-contained, to be severely affected again.

In general, if you are a player who has only explored Diablo 4, you can look forward to what new surprises the developers will bring you in 2025. But for those players who are just watching the fun, this game is not worth spending too much time and energy on, because there really won’t be any new moves. You can focus on new similar games or new expansions or sequels of some old games. I wish you a happy gaming journey in 2025!

According to the current news released by the developers, the seventh season of Diablo 4 will meet with players on January 21, 2025. Some time ago, the PTR for this new season officially ended, and many players were fortunate to participate in it and put forward their own feedback for the improvement of the game.

Among the new game content in Season 7, the most worth introducing is that there may be a Class using Witchcraft Powers added to the game, which may bring more and better game experience and more build possibilities to players. In addition, the original Classes have also undergone some changes.

Among them, the biggest change is Spiritborn, which was once a darling of Season 6, but it may be weakened in the new season. However, this guide is not mainly about it, but the controversial Sorcerer and Druid in the last season, both of which have received many disagreements because of their one-sided strength but the lack of the other. Next, let’s take a look at what changes these two Classes will have in the next season!

Sorcerer

Compared to the previous season, the spells cast by Sorcerer in Season 7 can become hotter or colder, and can make players more excited when manipulating it. First of all, in the new season, Sorcerer has two new Uniques - Strike of Stormhorn and Okun’s Catalyst. They bring you a new good friend called Super Ball Lightning, which can spin like a hula hoop full of lightning and cause irresistible lightning damage to the enemy, so that you can stride forward unhindered.

In addition to the new skill Ball Lightning, there is also a new skill called Inferno, which can increase the vulnerability to enemies inside the group of enemies, and the fire skill of Sorcerer has also been greatly enhanced, which is what I just said that this Class has become hotter. For colder, it is because Deep Freeze skill has been changed, and its damage has become stronger and it can provide you with a barrier when you thaw.

There are also a number of changes to Enchantments and Passives, making your builds in Season 7 healthier, faster to clear, and more flexible, making it much easier to get loot and Diablo 4 Gold with your Sorcerer next season, and speeding up your game progress.

Legendary Aspects, which are very important to Sorcerer build, have also undergone some changes, such as Pyro, Frost, and Shock skills, which have multiple functions for generating barriers, helping you increase your movement speed and attack speed, and immobilization, which can give you a better advantage in the challenge of some bosses. Not only that, the Ball Lightning enhancement function just introduced can make you a static destruction field for enemies.

Overall, the poor survivability that was criticized last season may be greatly improved next season. This will be very good news for some players who like to stand in the safe range and use spells to defeat enemies, so that they don’t have to spend a lot of effort on gear that improves defense in their Sorcerer builds and give up damage enhancements.

Druid

Druid is getting some love from the developers in the next season, which is reflected in the addition of Uniques and some skill improvements. First, the most noteworthy Unique is Malefic Crescent Amulet, which can greatly increase the critical damage and movement speed of a Druid in werewolf form, and the level of Feral Aptitude has also been increased. On top of that, the damage of Lupine Ferocity on consecutive critical hits has also been increased by 100%-150% by this item.

In addition, Mjölnic Ryng allows Druid to gain unlimited Spirit and 40%-100% increased damage while Cataclysm is active, which greatly improves the shortcomings of the Class’s poor damage ability. Not only that, Tempest Roar can also convert some of your Willpower damage into Willpower in combat, making you more tanky. Not only is the poor damage ability a disadvantage that players have been discussing, but the information that Druid lacks flexibility is also widely known. But fortunately, in Season 7, Druid’s proud Hurricane skill can be cast while moving, increasing its chances of winning in battles that require a certain degree of flexibility.

As for other attack damage skills, they have all been improved to some extent, such as Raging Shred, which will increase your skill set by 30% poison damage and Grizzly Rage by 60%. The most exaggerated one can be said to be Lacerate, whose damage value has increased to 600% of the original! It can be predicted here that this skill will definitely become one of the most important skills in Druid’s build because it is too powerful.

In previous seasons, Druid’s Passives can be said to be very difficult to choose, because only one of the strong survivability and damage ability can be retained. But in Diablo 4 Season 7, you may no longer be bothered by this problem, because several passive skills that deal damage have been buffed. For example, Lupine Ferocity will increase your critical hit damage by 75% for every three Werewolf casts that hit, Heightened Senses will increase your movement speed by 3% in werewolf form, and Charged Atmosphere will increase your build’s lightning damage by 10%.

Since Druid is the only Class in the game with human and beast multi-forms, the choice of Spirit Boons is also very important for the build. In view of this, the developers have made certain enhancements to Deer and Wolf: the former can help you deal 5% extra damage with subsequent damage attacks when attacked, while the latter allows you to restore all your Spirit when you cast Lucky Hit.

These are some changes you will see for the Sorcerer and Druid classes in Diablo 4 Season 7. Since the official version of the next season has not yet been announced, some of the key attributes and statistics in this guide are not accurate and are for reference only. You can also participate in some giveaways for D4 game products in IGGM Discord in your free time, which may make your exploration of the next season easier.
