The last thing regarding elemental damage is that buffs that were increasing elemental damage will now affect the damage effects instead of the direct damage. In exchange for this, when applying another elemental effect stack, the stack will deal direct damage and reset all timers which allows for better damage upscaling. Burn was already limited, but Electrify will now be limited as well. Debuff effects will be toned down from 10% to 5% while all elemental effects will be capped to stacks of 20. In the future we want to expand on this, so it can go beyond simple passive stat boosts.įurthermore, hit effects will get a couple of changes. Also in the works are boni on level ups depending on the player character, like for example “5 max health per level”, or a heal effect on each level up.

In the future, every character and ability will have a crit bonus value above 0, which means that they can all crit and critical hits can be more universally used. They will receive more general usage traits that don’t focus on the main attack only. Especially early characters will be refitted with new traits so they follow the trait patterns of later characters. There’s all the info you’ll need along with links to our huge guides database.Player characters are undergoing some changes right now. If you are coming back to the game or are completely new, check out the Diablo 2 Resurrected section here on PureDiablo. A second test will run that’s an open beta where everyone can take part. Those who have pre-ordered will have access to the first test. If you want to take part in the test, it will run in two phases. Just we aware that you may need to start thinking about keeping a couple of weekends free if you want to take part. However, as we already know, these tests are taking place as stress tests to put BattleNet under load now that D2R has moved to modern BattleNet. It’s also a really short time period to get to grips with the game. Older gamers like myself can’t always take a whole weekend off to lose ourselves in a beta test. While it’s commonplace these days for beta tests to run over the weekend, it’s not ideal for a lot of folks. Think of the phases as different weekends as typically that is when most people can play and we really need to stress things with MP being involved.
