Essence and Cooldown Changes:
In the Hallow’s Wake update, one Essence has been nerfed, causing a stir in the community. This change affects the blood Knights and their kill time. Additionally, the Necromancer’s skill, Borrow Time, has had its cooldown increased from 30 to 35 seconds, which will impact all Essences. Wizards have also experienced nerfs to popular Essences, such as Nor the Hail-Nursed and Alder Crystals, reducing damage reduction and increasing the freeze effect cooldown. These changes have sparked discussions about their effectiveness and the potential impact on gameplay.
Hallow’s Wake Holiday Event:
Hallow’s Wake is a new holiday event introduced in the update. Players will be tasked with eliminating spooky creatures, such as goblins and the eventual dead. By doing so, they can acquire Hollowed Stones, which can be traded for various rewards. However, there is a catch – these items become unusable after 14 days. While there is a note suggesting their future use, players are curious about the implications of this limitation. The event also offers three costumes, but players can only receive one. It is unclear at this point whether the costumes are account-wide or character-specific. The event has received mixed reactions, with some hoping for more updates and tweaks to keep the event engaging throughout the season.
Other Updates and Changes:
Aside from the Essence and cooldown changes, the Hallow’s Wake update also brings some quality-of-life improvements and new features. Replay Dungeon, a new option, allows players to replay dungeons they have completed. Item combat rating has been adjusted, with higher attributes resulting in higher combat ratings, although there is a level lockout for the final levels of difficulty tiers. Battle War now has a spawn barrier, preventing camping at the spawn area. The update also introduces a new quick add function for Paragon trees, the ability to destroy low-level whisk, and a temporary Cosmetics tab for events like Hallow’s Wake.
The Dominant Necromancer Build:
MinMaxRPG shares a dominant necromancer build that is expected to become popular in the game. This build focuses on skills like Soulfire Bone Spike, Bone Wall, Borrow Time, and Wraith, making the necromancer an unstoppable crowd control machine. This build has already gained popularity on overseas servers and is likely to be a topic of discussion in upcoming videos. Players are encouraged to test and share their thoughts on this build and come up with potential counter builds.
Overall, the Hallow’s Wake update in Diablo Immortal brings a mix of changes, improvements, and a new holiday event. Players can expect adjustments to Essences, cooldowns, and the introduction of spooky creatures and rewards in Hallow’s Wake. The dominant necromancer build is also something to watch out for.
