Blizzard Entertainment has recently announced the first major patch update for the game Diablo 4, leading up to its first season. This update includes numerous bug fixes, along with notable tweaks to some in-game classes. Most significantly, the Sorcerer class is scheduled for several modifications, with the Devouring Blaze skill inflicting less bonus damage to burning enemies — previously up to 30%, and post-update only up to 21%.

These changes have stirred up negative responses among several players who have voiced their concerns on platforms like Reddit. The update, along with the commencement of Season 1, will go live on July 20, after which it will be seen whether these criticisms were justified. A complete list of changes brought by the patch update can be found in the official patch notes.
