Hey Diable 4 items community,
This new infinite damage bug has huge implications for the current meta and the future of the game.
First off, it basically breaks the concept of damage scaling and skill cooldowns, two pillars of Diablo’s combat design. Players who exploit this can trivialize endgame bosses, Rift challenges, and potentially dominate PvP.
This could force Blizzard to either nerf or completely redesign affected skills and items to prevent abuse. It might also push players away from building around legitimate mechanics towards exploit combos just to stay competitive.
On the flip side, it could temporarily inject some excitement and new build creativity while the bug exists. Players will try to figure out the optimal setup, theorycrafting will spike, and we’ll see a brief meta shift.
Long-term, though, bugs like this can damage the game’s reputation, especially if they persist or are unevenly punished. Blizzard needs to strike a balance between quick fixes and preserving player agency.
What do you all think the patch timeline will be? And how do you think this will affect your own playstyle or build choices?
