The game is built around completing the Acts on each difficulty and we wanted our players to be empowered to play their heroes in the ways they preferred. It has been more than eleven years since we’ve made changes like this to the game! So, when we started making balance adjustments, we wanted to focus on expanding more skill build variety and adding more viable possibilities with playing each class. We’re ecstatic to make balance changes that will improve the viability of each class while retaining the class fantasy of our favorite heroes.
