Season Launch Date
The highly anticipated Season of Witchcraft for Diablo 4 is set to launch on January 21, 2025.
Witchcraft Powers
During the recent Campfire Chat, the Diablo 4 team revealed details about the new Witchcraft powers. These powers will be divided into three categories:
- Eldritch: Embracing bizarre and uncanny magic
- Psyche: Harnessing magic related to mind and spirit
- Growth & Decay: Utilizing magic for both healing and harm
Moreover, these Witch powers will be Alt-Friendly, allowing them to persist across alternate characters.
Headhunts and Rootholds
The team shed light on Headhunts and Rootholds, explaining that Headhunts involve bosses and collecting missing heads to earn Witch powers, while Rootholds are dense enemy areas requiring special keys for access.
Occult Gems and Tree of Whispers Updates
Exciting updates include the introduction of powerful Occult Gems for jewelry customization and enhancements to the Tree of Whispers, where players can turn in Grim Favors for rewards.
Enhanced Endgame Content
To cater to hardcore players seeking a more engaging endgame experience, the Final Seasonal Journey Chapter will be more challenging, offering better rewards and a new flying pet.
Balance Changes and Bug Fixes
The team addressed overpowered builds in the Public Test Realm by tying summons and companions to player stats for a more impactful experience.
Class Updates
Class-specific updates include improvements to various builds such as Barbarian’s Hoda and Whirlwind, Sorcerer’s passives and Ball Lightning Mechanics, Druid’s Beast and Spirit Boons, Rogue’s Shadow Clones, Necromancer’s summons, and Spiritborn’s Razor Wings and Focus skills.
Armory System
Season 7 will see changes to the Armory System, allowing players to save, load, and name builds with equipment, skills, and Paragon configurations without cost, accessible across characters and areas (though arriving later in the game’s cycle).
Codex and Class Mechanics
Updates will be made to the Codex for easier progression and account-wide Class Mechanic quests that offer valuable rewards through optional repeat runs.
Visual and Quality of Life Improvements
Efforts have been made to improve visual clarity during gameplay while discussions about potential Armory stash space in the future have been initiated.
