For over a decade, Blizzard Diablo 2 has not changed great anymore, but the new edition seems to be reason enough to screw a little at class balancing after a long time and to add a few new contents.

Diablo 2: Resurrected gets with patch 2.4 class adjustments

For Diablo 2, the last time 2010 made changes to the classes. With patch 2.4 for Diablo 2: Resurrected it happens again after over eleven years. The patch is tested beginning 2022 first on the PTR and includes the following:

Return of the four leaderboards from the original Revision of the mercenaries New Rune words Adjustments to class balancing

Ranking, Rune words and mercenaries

Diablo veterans already know the rankings from the original and are already waiting to be able to trade in the new edition with others. These four rankings will give it with the patch:

Standard rating: The normal version of the ranking with four files. Hardcore ranking: The hardcore version (only one life) of the ranking with four files. Standard rating list (extension): The normal version of the ranking, which includes five files, as it contains the contents from the extension LORD OF DESTRUCTION. Hardcore ranking (extension): The hardcore version (only one life) of the ranking with five files, i.e. the content from the extension lord of Destruction.

The new Rune words are introduced through several seasons only in the rankings and then find their way to the characters that they do not play in the rankings. Which new Rune words will give it, Blizzard not yet price. The same applies to the concrete adjustments to the mercenaries. However, it is known that Blizzard want to create more alternatives to popular desert oils by improving the other three mercenaries.
