For many months now, Diablo 4 has experienced a constant evolution since its launch, consolidating itself as one of the most dynamic and changing experiences in the ARPG genre. Each new season not only adds contentbut also introduces settings that seek to maintain balance and fun for the players. For this reason, Blizzard has found its community during these last few seasons, but the team is already looking to the future con important changes to take into account.
Blizzard wants to take a step forward with the Season 7 when introducing important changes in the class Spiritualistwhich is noted as the most powerful in Diablo 4. “We already noticed at the beginning that the Spiritualist has been one or several steps above most other classes. Players have fun, people love playing with the Spiritualist, he is very powerful and we like that a lot,” says game designer Charles Dunn in a recent campfire chat.
“But we have to recognize that for the long term game health it is important that we have a little better class parity through the buildsso you don’t feel like you’re doing it wrong if you don’t play with the Spiritualist,” he explains (via GamesRadar). The Blizzard team has identified that Kepeleke’s Staff, a unique staff, will be drastically nerfed because deals very high damage. Apart from that, there is another important aspect that will be implemented in Season 7 of Diablo 4.

## World Today News Interview: Diablo 4 Season 7
**Guests:**
* **Lyndsay “Lynx” Jones:** Avid Diablo 4 player and streamer known for her insightful builds and community engagement.
* **Gabriel ”Gabe” Santiago:** Game designer specializing in ARPG balance and systems design, with a focus on player experience.
**Host:** Welcome to World Today News! We’re excited to discuss the upcoming changes in Diablo 4 Season 7 with our guests, Lynx and Gabe. This patch promises to shake things up, so let’s dive right in.
**Section 1: The Evolving Landscape of Diablo 4**
**Host:** Lynx, as a dedicated player, how has Diablo 4 evolved since launch, and what are your thoughts on Blizzard’s commitment to continuous updates?
**Lynx:** The evolution has been incredible!
Diablo 4 felt polished at launch, but these constant updates, especially focusing on balance and community feedback, have truly made it feel like a living, breathing game. It’s refreshing to see Blizzard actively listening and iterating based on player experiences.
**Host:** Gabe, can you shed some light on the design philosophy behind these changes?
What are the key considerations when deciding which areas to focus on for each season?
**Gabe:** Our primary goal is to create a healthy and enjoyable experience for everyone. We want to ensure that all classes feel viable and fun to play, while avoiding situations where one class significantly dominates the meta.
We also strive to introduce new content and mechanics that keep the gameplay fresh and exciting for veteran players while remaining accessible to newcomers.
**Section 2: Addressing Class Imbalance: The Necromancer in Focus**
**Host:** One of the major talking points surrounding Season 7 is the proposed nerfs to the Necromancer class, particularly the Spiritualist build. Lynx, as a player, how do you feel about these changes?
**Lynx:** Look, the Spiritualist build was undeniably strong. It was incredibly fun to play, but I understand why Blizzard wants to address its dominance. Overpowered builds can make the game feel less diverse and discourage experimentation with other classes.
**Host:** Gabe, can you elaborate on the rationale behind these nerfs and what Blizzard hopes to achieve?
**Gabe:**
The Necromancer’s Spiritualist build excelled in dealing consistent damage and survivability, surpassing other builds and classes significantly. While we want to preserve its unique identity and playstyle, we need to ensure a more balanced ecosystem where other classes can shine. The nerfs to Kepeleke’s Staff and other related adjustments aim to bring the Spiritualist build more in line with the power level of other builds.
**Section 3:
The Armory System: A Game Changer?**
**Host:**
Another exciting addition in Season 7 is the Armory system. Lynx, how do you think this feature will impact your gameplay and build experimentation?
**Lynx:** I’m absolutely thrilled about the Armory! It’s something the community has been begging for, and it’s a massive quality of life improvement.
Being able to quickly switch between different character builds will allow me to experiment more freely and adapt my playstyle to different situations without the hassle of manually swapping gear and skill points.
**Host:** Gabe, from a design perspective, how do you see the Armory system influencing the Diablo 4 experience?
**Gabe:**
We believe the Armory will empower players to explore a wider range of builds and strategies.
It encourages experimentation and promotes a more diverse meta, leading to a richer and more engaging gameplay experience for everyone.
**Section 4: Looking Ahead: The Future of Diablo 4**
**Host:**
Looking forward, what are your hopes and expectations for the future of Diablo 4, Lynx and Gabe?
**Lynx:** I’m eagerly awaiting the future seasons and expansions.
I hope to see continued balance adjustments, exciting new content, and even more innovative systems that enhance the Diablo 4 experience.
**Gabe:** Our mission is to continuously improve and expand Diablo 4, delivering a world that players can lose themselves in for years to come.
We’re incredibly passionate about this game and can’t wait to share what’s in store for the future.
**Host:** Thank you both for joining us today and sharing your insights on Diablo 4 Season 7. We’re excited to see how these changes shape the future of Sanctuary!
