NEWS Tag: Patch 2.4

Blizzard is preparing to drop the updated version of Diablo 2 Resurrected 2.4 on the game's public testing realms for testing, the first official content and balance update it has received since early 2010. Patch 2.4 is now confirmed to be released on the PTR on January 25th. But now, MMOWTS has learned some relevant information.

The 2.4 Update is considered a class balance update, but it has 3 core components and smaller changes.

* Class balance is the first area.

* In addition, 7 new runewords can be set to different equipment

* Also 4 new Horadric Cubes will be added, allowing you to upgrade your set items.

* The game also changed the contents of mercenaries, sets, level areas, and item tooltips.

Class changes are the focus of the 2.4 Update, but there is still a lot of new content. There's a new get ladder season coming up and Blizzard is refreshing the meta to make sure this season is brand new. At that point, if you want to get ahead of the others, coming to MMOWTS to buy Diablo 2 Resurrected Items will give you that edge.

With at least one small change to 3 skill trees across all 7 classes, Druid has perhaps been greatly improved, in terms of casting, melee, and summoning. Necromancer is probably minimally affected, although small buffs to Weaken, Bone skills, and skeleton Mages are noteworthy.

Runewords are probably the most important class changes in meta-shifting. New runewords for swords, staves, claws, bows, and crossbows, will give you a variety of build options. There are also 2 new helm runewords, one for enhancing mana management and the second a strong defensive rune for martial and magical attacks. MMOWTS has introduced 3 of them before, you can click here to view it.

Additionally, 12 different sets of items have been buffed to varying degrees, and Act III now requires you to smash the Compelling Orb to get Durance of Hate instead of skipping the Khalim's Will quest. Monster levels in 16 option areas increased to 85 Hell difficulty to encourage you to complete them for rewards.

Patch 2.4 will bring a whole new experience to players, and once it proves to be popular, Blizzard may try more changes in the future. MMOWTS will now continue to pay attention to relevant news, and we will also update relevant articles in time when the Ladders is available.

Currently, D2R's patch 2.4 has not been released on the game's public test servers, but some content has been leaked, part of which is the new Runewords.

So far, 3 new Runewords have been leaked, which include:

* Unbending Will Runeword

* Mist Runeword

* Wisdom Runeword

MMOWTS will give their details separately.

Unbending Will Runeword

It seems to be tailored for those Barbarian players who wield swords, granting attacks a chance to cast taunt, +3 combat skills, increased attack speed, enhanced damage, extra attack rating, lifesteal, and more.

Mist Runeword

Mist is a 5 socket Runeword for bow or crossbow, it's perfect for Amazon class and in-game Act I mercenary. The runewords grant level 9 concentration aura, +3 to all skills, piercing attack, increased attack speed, enhanced damage, and +40 to all resistances.

Wisdom Runeword

The helmet-based Wisdom is also suitable for Amazon builds, but also helps Barbarians focus on their throwing abilities. The runewords grant piercing attacks, a "cannot be frozen" effect, and grants mana steal on hit with mana cast on kill. This helps Amazon players manage their mana.

These are general information, and by the time of release, some details may change. And these aren't the only runes added in patch 2.4, we can expect more. Once the new runewords appear, you can come to MMOWTS to buy Diablo 2 Resurrected Items.

The devs also say that the upcoming patch will address the complete build with skill changes and the addition of new runewords, some new runewords that could be ideal for some mercenaries that are rarely used in the game. You can also come here to find more specific details once patch 2.4 arrives.
