Diablo 4 held its seasonal Fireside Chat, where they discussed the new content and changes coming to Season 7: Season of Magic. In case you missed the chat, here’s the TL;DR on everything they discussed.
Season Launch Date
The first thing they discussed was the release date for Season of Witchcraft, which is January 21, 2025.
Magic Power
The team discusses the new Magic powers and gives a few details about the system. They talk about three types of power:
- Eldritch: Strange, bizarre, and extraordinary magic
- Soul: Magic that focuses on the mind and soul
- Growth & Decay: Magic that focuses on healing and damage.
Wizard Power will be Alt-Friendly; meaning they will persist across alternate characters.
Hunting and Rootholds
Tim talks about Headhunts and Rootholds and what they are. Head hunting will involve spawning bosses and retrieving lost heads to gain Wizard powers. Rootholds are areas with dense enemy populations that require special keys to access.
Occult Gems and Whispering Tree Updates
They also discuss the new Magical Gems, which are powerful gems used for jewelry customization. The team talks about the new update coming to the Whispering Tree. The tree will be used to turn in Grim Favor for rewards.
Enhanced Endgame Content
In the Campfire Chat, they talked about improving endgame content. The Final Season Journey Chapter will be more challenging with better rewards and new flying pets. They want to address the gap between hard-core players looking for more exciting and long-term goals while playing in the new season.
Balance Changes and Bug Fixes
They address overpowered builds in the Public Test Realm. Summons and companions will be tied to player stats, making them more impactful.
Class Updates
Campfire Chat tackles some class-specific updates for Season 7.
- Barbarian: Improves Hoda and Whirlwind builds. Unique effects, such as explosions during earthquakes, have been added.
- Sorcerer: Buffed his passive for an overall increase. They introduced an option for Ball Lightning Mechanics.
- Druid: Improves Blurred Beast and Spirit Boon, but no Unique for Spirit Boon yet.
- Rogue: Shadow Clones will now emulate legendary effects, making them even more versatile.
- Necromancer: They fixed the overpower build from the Public Test Realm and added significant updates to the Summon mechanic.
- Spiritborn: Razor Wings and Focus skills have been updated.
Armory System
The Armory system will be revamped in Season 7. The Armory will allow storing, loading, and naming buildings with Paragon equipment, skills, and configurations. This system will be fully accessible across characters and areas at no cost, but will come late in the game cycle.
Codex and Class Mechanics
Changes to the Codex and Class Mechanics are coming in Season 7. The Codex will have easier progression. Class Mechanic Missions will be account-wide, with optional repeatable runs offering valuable rewards.
Improved Visuals and Quality of Life
The final thing discussed in the Campfire Chat is quality of life and visual improvements. They made efforts to reduce visual clutter during gameplay and discussed the future potential of Armory storage space.
That’s all the Diablo 4 team discussed in their Season 7 Campfire Chat. As mentioned, Season 7: Season of Magic is coming on January 21st. Get ready to face a new class with terrifying and incredible powers!
