I don't trust Sorc hype until I actually see it in Season 5.

[danczer]

Having no bonus XP cap is a good change. It doesn't affect the casual players, but introduce a gameplay element for the experienced players to level up faster multiple characters in the season.

[ChronicHabit]

Rework all the uniques with no public testing... interesting, surely nothing will be broken :D

[Sinner-man]

i like that the craziest idea wudi can think of is Druids being top tier. I guess since every other class has been at some point it seems like one season they might give Druids the overbuffs they give to other classes, but i wont hold my breath.

[BentleyPascoe]

I can't help, but feel skeptical. Massive buffs to the sorc team often has felt so underwhelming - until I have it written out - I won't believe it.

[tomtomkowski]

Good, that they finally trying to equal classes because let's be real... Gushing Wounds was the most broken PassiveKey in this whole game.
I would prefer to see more slots for Necro, Druid, and Sorc for more variety of possible builds but increased base damage is more than welcome.
Are these buffs enough? I have my doubts. They didn't touch PassiveKeys for these classes like Sorc and these Passives just suck. But let's wait...

[ShatroGames]

That was a really nice overview, makes me more hyped for S5!

[AnatoleVGC]

Im shocked they decided to release new classes for free before the expansion, but it was weird to have a Diablo game with only the Barbarian as a playable class

[jasonlucia]

the seismic shift change is actually pretty interesting

[SAVAGENARRATIONS.]

When that bleed passive for barb does 140x damage you knew it was going to get nerfed.

[theunfazed]

They should really give rogues quivers, or add in charms for all characters.

[Kevfactor]

I usually don’t say this about content creators but I hope they invite you over there more to test things out. Not just for like a day or weekend either

[omarmir]

Really hope the Sorc class gets as much of a buff as Wudi is saying it will. Reading those original notes was so demoralizing, I've only put in a few hours into the game since then. Sorcs catching strays!

[ereykdarden]

I’m terrified to start Druid again because he’s been very underwhelming last couple of seasons but with unique changes I think stormstrike is going to be good this next season

[maciekrap]

I would really like to see an item change based on the main stat requirement for character type, I think it would open up a lot of possibilities. The level requirement for the item is an extreme lack of imagination on the part of the devs.

[flowqi]

Gz gz Wudijo, you managed to convince them to remove Barbarian Protection completely instead of fixing it

[MultiplexityGaming]

so if I am understanding the experience level cap change correctly, we can now go beyond 10 level difference for more experience? so theoretically, if am level 60 and can handle level 75 monsters I can do what I can handle the most and will benefit from the jump in xp?

[jf]

He said Druids are generally ok. Nah they need buffs I think we all can agree on that.

[taz]

Need to bring back holy bolt elixir for leveling, Helltide, and running nightmare dungeons.
It's OK to not use them for pit runs.

More ebb and flow with Blizz patch and season cycle. Thanks for keeping us in the loop, Wudi!
