Class Changes
A number of changes to classes, including skills, passives, class-specific Aspects, and more were also rolled out in Diablo 4 Patch 1.1.0. We’ll be looking over these changes and tweaking our build guides as the season progresses to provide the best-class builds available.
That’s it for Patch 1.1.0. For the full patch notes, with all the bug fixes, check out the official Diablo 4 patch notes post. For more on the Season of the Malignant, check out our news coverage of the reveal, as well as how Renown will rollover when the season starts. If you’re looking to find all Altars of Lilith, we have all the locations in the Fractured Peaks, along with walkthroughs for all the Strongholds if you still need to clear some — like myself — over in our Diablo 4 guides hub.
