Our Diablo 2 guide writer and content creator MrLamaSC will be going live on stream with Diablo 2 developers to discuss the latest 2. Source Greetings, Heroes of Sanctuary.

Ladder Rank play is arriving early next year! Our priority for Ladder Rank play has always been for this mode to be a smooth experience. The competitive nature of this feature demands stability as players race towards Our teams have continued to invest time in making the game experience and performance smoother for everyone. Hardcore Ladder The hardcore only 1 life version of Ladder play that encompasses playing with four acts. For the first time, players will have the chance to unlock a host of new Rune Words in the Ladder system!

To be clear, these Rune Words have never existed in the game before, and they will not be accessible in non-Ladder play like the previous set of Ladder-only Rune Words in the original Diablo II experience. Then at the beginning of the next Ladder season, players will make a new Ladder character and start all over again to earn new rewards. This is incredibly special, as the last patch to make balance changes to classes in Diablo II was Patch 1.

These goals are crucial. Generally, we like the current state of the Amazon class and believe her to be quite balanced. Nonetheless, we see an opportunity to improve the Amazon's melee skills.

We want to buff the strengths of certain underused melee skills such as Impale and Fend to give more reasons to use them. We are also looking into freeing up synergy requirements for melee skills to give more skill point freedom for other possibilities. Additionally, we are also considering buffing certain skills in the Bow and Crossbow tree to help improve bow gameplay in higher difficulties.

However, for this class, we see an opportunity for the Martial Arts builds to shine brighter. Martial Arts skills can become increasingly challenging to perform in higher difficulties, so we are re-evaluating how to improve generating and spending Combo Points. Furthermore, various Trap skills are not often used. Nonetheless, we see opportunities to add more diversity to Combat skills.

We're looking into adding more possibilities with Combat Skills such as Leap Attack and Grim Ward, while also re-evaluating skill synergy requirements to promote more reasons to spend points on certain Combat Skills. Additionally, we think Throwing Barbarians can be more viable, so we are looking into enhancing the Double Throw and Throwing Mastery skills. With that said, we see exciting opportunities to level up certain aspects of this class. From our perspective, Druid Fire skills are underperforming.

We're re-evaluating Casting Delays for Fire skills, exploring improvements to some of their Physical Damage components, and improving synergies. We want to improve the controls for Arctic Blast too, such as allowing more free form while channeling and no longer locking your targeting onto one enemy at a time.

Regarding Summon skills, we believe Summons are weak in high difficulty. Lastly, we're evaluating improvements to the Werebear skills, primarily focused on synergy improvements. Like the Amazon, we like the current state of the Necromancer class. Nonetheless, we see an opportunity to improve specific Summons we believe are underused.

We're balancing elemental damages of Skeletal Mages and making lesser used Golems more effective. Additionally, we see opportunities for Bone skill improvements in high difficulty. Despite this, we believe certain Combat skills are underused.

We also see an opportunity to scale Offensive Aura skills as well. This includes making improvements to AoE Damage auras to make them more effective at closer range. We also want to improve Thorns so that it can scale better and deal more reliable damage at higher levels.

This test will be imperative, as it will assist us in stabilizing the gameplay experience ahead of the implementation of Ladder rank play.

A new Diablo II: Resurrected patch is in development and now available for testing. Please note that the below patch notes only include changes currently available for testing on the PTR.

While many of these changes may also be available on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch in a future patch, the PTR is PC-only and only reflects changes coming specifically to that platform. Furthermore, it would be helpful if players could creator characters of different types Hardcore, Classic, etc.
