Blizzard has posted the full list of patch notes for Diablo 4 update 1.1.1 on PC, PlayStation and Xbox. The new update will be available to download on all platforms from around 6pm BST UK time on August 8. Following on from a recent developer live stream in which the studio outlined some of the changes coming to Diablo 4, Blizzard has now posted the entire set of update 1.1.1 patch notes. The update aims to rectify some of the controversial changes made as part of the universally hated Season 1 update in July.

As you can see from the patch notes below, update 1.1.1 re-balances each character class to provide a more exciting experience.

The Sorcerer, for example, has an increase in Chain Lightning damage, as well as a wider fireball radius.

The Barbarian’s Enhanced Charge attack will do double the damage, while Fury generation is increased for all basic skills.

The Rogue also receives numerous buffs, including to the Rain of Arrows attack, which knocks down enemies for three seconds during its first wave.

Elsewhere, some areas will have more monsters to battle, while bosses will be boosted to make things more challenging in World Tiers three and four. This also ties in to improved item drops.
