More XP boosts have rolled out which is always great – Whispers in World Tiers 3 and 4 reward XP has been 'significantly increased', while bonus experience rewards for killing monsters that are a higher level than the player has also been increased. World tier monster levelling has been adjusted so that a monster's level will begin to trail behind the player after a certain point (up to a maximum of five levels behind). Melee characters are getting a break with monster tendency for moving around in combat reduces so you won't have to chase them down too much. There are reams of patch notes! The points of note are the six new unique items and seven new Legendary Aspects, of course.

The devs weren't exaggerating when they said the update would be a big one. Activision Blizzard is deploying update 1.1.0.a today which includes new seasonal content listed in the early Diablo 4 patch notes as well as other tweaks and balance changes for players who won't be partaking in the new season of the Diablo 4 Battle Pass and its Season 1 rewards. Things are about to get shaken up with Season of the Malignant when Season 1 goes live this week. Most ardent Diablo 4 players will have waded through the campaign, are perhaps feeling a little mired in the endgame content. Using powerful skills to apply bleeds to their enemies, buffs to their allies, and pain to anything standing in their way, you'll love the Barbarian playstyle if you enjoy raging your way across the battlefield.It's the day you've all been waiting for! The Diablo 4 Season 1 patch notes reveal ahead of the Season of the Malignant officially kicking off on Thursday, July 20. The Barbarian in Diablo 4 is a hard-hitting, whirling mass of blade and muscle, able to decimate man, beast, demon, and everything in between. Now, pockets of Barbarian tribes defend against demonic forces around Sanctuary, while others still roam, searching for purpose, coin, and revenge on the demons that slaughtered their people. After the horrific losses during Baal's siege on Harrogath and the subsequent shattering of the Worldstone, the Barbarian tribes have scattered, roaming Sanctuary aimlessly.

A people with a long and storied history, the Barbarians are the former defenders of Mount Arreat.
