Along with adding five new Unique Rings to the game, Diablo 4’s next patch, which goes live on December 7th, will also contain adjustments for Season of Blood. It will increase the pillar health in the Sanguine Battery Event from 75 to 85 percent, and the repair time will decrease from three seconds to one second.
There are also bug fixes, like Metamorphosis not triggering temporary bonuses to movement speed, the Anticipation Vampiric Power not displaying cooldown reduction for Ultimates in town, and the Hectic Vampirir Power not reducing skill cooldowns. If you interacted with the upgrade button when no new powers were available and wasted Potent Blood, it will be fixed.
Unfortunately, an issue which caused Hemomancy to trigger on non-damaging Skills and Evade has also been fixed (sorry, Rogues). Check out the full patch notes below. Even more content is coming to Diablo 4 on December 5th with the limited-time end-game event Abattoir of Zir. Head here for more details.
