Class Updates & Meta Shifts
Season 8 introduces significant balance changes aimed at Diablo 4 Items improving underperforming builds while slightly nerfing the most dominant strategies from Season 7.

Barbarian
Buffs to Bleed and Shout synergy make this a more viable late-game tank/DPS hybrid.

Several Legendary Aspects now scale better with core skill usage.

Sorcerer
Nerfs to Chain Lightning and Frozen Orb to rein in AoE dominance.

Fire-based builds now benefit from a reworked Burn stacking mechanic.

Druid
Werewolf and Werebear forms have received base movement and attack speed increases.

New synergies between Poison and Storm skills make hybrid builds more attractive.

Rogue
Trap and Imbuement builds gain support through new Legendary affixes.

Slight reduction in Shadow Step cooldown to boost mobility playstyles.

Necromancer
Minion builds finally get love with stronger minion AI and increased durability.

Blood builds now scale better in Nightmare Dungeons, pushing endgame viability.

These changes shift the seasonal meta, with hybrid and cheap Diablo 4 Items elemental synergy builds becoming more viable across all classes.
