From December 6, 3 a.m.–December 17, 3 a.m. server time, Sanctuary will be unmade before your very eyes if Diablo’s plans are brought to fruition. Cut down his hellspawn in a new limited-time event to buy yourself and Sanctuary’s denizens a moment of reprieve.

Balance Changes
Developer’s Note: We are introducing a new “backlash” mechanic with this round of balance changes. It will put your targets in a state where using their skills increases the duration of the harmful effect you placed on them, further punishing builds that rely on heavy spam usage of skills. Opponents can choose to fight through the pain of the backlash effect or disengage to come back at full strength after the effect has expired.
Our intent is to work more on altering Legendary Affixes to impact gameplay more instead of flat-out nerfing Classes that might be too strong. While this is the beginning of a new approach to tuning, we will still adjust effects as needed, which is why there’s also a few nerfs to some overperforming classes in the list below. The goal is to make nerfs less severe by increasing the power of other Classes. This combined approach of reinvigorating old Legendary Affixes alongside a softer touch on nerfs will result in new combat experiences and more interesting choices, without it feeling as punishing as having the power of your skills heavily reduced.
The balance changes below will be effective everywhere in Diablo Immortal.
Barbarian
- Flickertonne (Hammer of the Ancients): Cooldown increased from 0.5 to 1 second. Base damage was also reduced slightly, with fully charged damage remaining unchanged.
Blood Knight
- Transfusion: Shield no longer removes and grants immunity to all harmful effects and instead removes and grants immunity to loss of control effects.
- Vein Seeker (Tendrils of Blood): Cooldown increased from 0.5 to 1 second. Damage increased slightly.
Crusader
- Anointed Brimstone (Consecration): You are now immune to Chill and Frozen while active.
- Vainglory’s Star (Judgment): Enemies struck by Judgment will now increase the vulnerability effect further each time they use a skill, gradually increasing the damage they take.
Demon Hunter
- Escalating Violence (Escape): No longer Slows and instead Immobilizes and disables Dash Skills.
- Puncta Obscura (Impale): Additionally reduces enemy healing by 80%.
Necromancer
- Studied Menace (Corpse Lance): Additionally reduces enemy healing by 80%.
- Revenant Wind (Wraith Form): No longer slows and instead weakens enemies, reducing the damage they deal. The duration of this effect is extended by 0.5 seconds with each skill the enemy uses while suffering from this effect, up to a maximum of an additional 4 seconds.
- Scurrying Ruin (Bone Wall): Bone Wall duration reduced from 8 to 4 seconds. Damage increased slightly.
Feature Updates
Vanguard
Remain steadfast in the face of amplified challenges and rewards new to Vanguard. December 5 marks the start of a fresh Vanguard season, complete with a new environment and bloodthirsty enemies from World’s Crown—the new Zone releasing with our next major update—have been injected into the mode to dial up the intensity. In the Ashen Ravine dungeon, you’ll need to band together with your shield brothers to escort siege engines so they can crumple demonic fortifications, clearing a path for you to strike through.
Three new Helliquary bosses have also found their way into Vanguard. Complete the herculean task of besting these titans of Hell on Difficulty III or higher to earn 3 new weapons infused with Helliquary Boss Affixes. These Affixes can be triggered by both Basic and Ultimate attacks. Here’s the new weapon Affixes:
Gorgothra the Claimer Helliquary Affix: Unleash the power of Gorgothra the Claimer, creating 4 statues that fire beams, each dealing damage to enemies.
Viaath the Shivering Death Hellquary Affix: Shivering Breath Unleash the power of Vitaath the Shivering Death, conjuring two clones of Vitaath to release waves of cold, dealing damage and Chilling enemies.
Gishtur & Beledwe Helliquary Affix: Unleash the power of the Twin Terrors, spinning massive blades that deal damage to all nearby enemies while pulling them in.
Call upon your allies to team up and overcome a fight suited for the most seasoned Vanguard enjoyers, and should you prevail, your name will be etched into the new Vanguard Leaderboard for all of Sanctuary to envy.

Mourrneskull Legendary Gem
During the Eternal War crossover event, many of you have used Lich King’s power to eviscerate your foes with icy prejudice by way of the Mourrneskull Legendary Gem. Utilize the Mourrneskull Legendary Gems you receive from Elder Rifts, Shop bundles, or through crafting at the Apprentice Jeweler to upgrade your Gem’s Rank as much as possible during the event. Once this Eternal War concludes, you will only be able to upgrade this Legendary Gem at an Apprentice Jeweler using Telluric Pearls, so make the most of the event while you can.
