Approximately a month ago, Diablo 2: Resurrection players were teased with Patch 2.4, the first major update that heralded the introduction of ranked ladder play, among other things. As a result, in addition to the recent announcement of Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard and the ongoing Activision lawsuits, we now have a firm launch date for Patch 2.4 into the Public Test Realm (PTR) on PC: January 25. There is currently no word on when Patch 2.4 will be fully released to the regular game, thoughcheap Diablo 2 resurrected ladder items is expected to include ranked ladder play as well as other features. In the near future, the developers should be able to provide more information about ladder play.

Changes in class
Diablo 2: Resurrected is undergoing changes to each of its three skill trees, which affects every class. Aside from buffing underutilized skills to make them more appealing, some changes have been made to casting delays and synergies to make them even more appealing. Example: The Paladin, who is most commonly associated with the Blessed Hammer skill, has had his holy fire, holy freeze, and holy shock auras, as well as Fist of the Heavens and Holy Bolt, all boosted in recent patches. Auradins and FoHers, it is hoped, will become significantly more effective.

Barbarians will benefit from improvements to their throwing and leaping abilities, as well as a rework of their synergies with combat skills and shouts. In order to makeDiablo2 Resurrected Items PC more suitable for end-game content, the Assassin Martial Arts skill tree is being largely overhauled. Casting delays for Shadow Disciplines and new synergies with Traps should allow for more varied gameplay.

Currently, the Druid is receiving a great deal of attention, particularly for the fire portion of the Elemental skill tree. In addition to improving functionality when shapeshifting and casting simultaneously, casting delays and synergies are being redesigned. Skeletal Mages, which are used by Necromancers to promote better build diversity, are being given a boost. Bone Armor is also receiving an upgrade to provide better protection.

Mercenary shifts are common.
Rogue Archers from Act 1 can now use the Freezing Arrow and Explosion Arrow, which were previously unavailable. Mercenaries from Act 2 can now be hired with all six auras in Nightmare and Hell difficulties, and the Thorns aura scales better in Nightmare and Hell difficulties. Iron Wolves from Act 3 have better life, defense, and resistances than their counterparts from Act 2. They now have the ability to cast Enchant and Static Field. In addition, Barbarians from Act 5 have improved life and defense, as well as higher level Bash and Stun skills, among other advantages. Battle Cry is now available to them as well.

Plague — Created by combining Cham, Shael, and Um in swords. Adds a Cleansing aura to the battlefield, depletes enemy poison resistance, and has a 20% chance of casting Lower Resist on the enemy.

Pattern — Created using Tal, Ort, and Thul in claws as building blocks. Damage, resistances, and attack rating are all increased. Suitable for Assassins at the beginning of their careers.

Wisdom — Created with the helms of Pul, Ith, and Eld. Increases piercing attack by 33%, increases attack rating by 1, increases defense by 1, and includes the Cannot be Frozen mod.

Obsession — Made with the letters Zod, Ist, Lem, Lum, Io, and Nef in staffs. Increases skill points by three, grants a 65% faster cast rate, a 60% faster hit recovery, resistances, magic find, and other benefits. A good alternative to using a Spirit shield and a caster weapon is to use a caster weapon.

Flickering Flame — Constructed with Nef, Pul, and Vex in the helm. It also provides a Resist Fire aura, a +3 to fire skills, a reduction in enemy fire resistance, and other benefits.

On top of the new runewords, the powerful Insight runeword can now be transformed into bows, making Diablo 2 resurrected items even more potent.


Lum + Pul + Perfect Emerald + Exception set weapon are the elite versions of the set weapons.

Set armor with an exception — Tal + Shael + Perfect Diamond + Normal set armor — is available.

Changes to the set item

Changes in the level of the area

It is possible to almost completely bypass Act 3 if you are being rushed by a higher level character in Diablo 2. This is one of the most significant glitches in the game. With Patch 2.4, this will no longer be the case, as will now be necessary to smash the Compelling Orb with Kalim's Flail in order to gain entry into the Durance of Hate. There will be no more using a Town Portal to get to the Durance 2 waypoint.

There are only a few level 85 areas (where the best gear drops) available for end-game farming at the moment. Patch 2.4 introduces a total of 16 new level 85 areas spread across Acts 1, 2, 3, and 5, providing a significant increase in variety.

The PTR for Diablo 2: Resurrected is only available on PC at this time. All you have to do to get in is select PTR: Diablo 2: Resurrected from the dropdown menu above Play in the Battle. net launcher, and then click Install on the next screen.
