DIablo 4 Patch 1.1.1 is on the horizon with significant changes coming to the Barbarian and Sorcerer classes. But the Rogue, Druid, and Necromancer classes are also receiving changes, although not as drastic.
The Rogue class is considered one of the stronger options in Diablo 4 at the moment, with a couple of builds that are viable in the early game and well into the endgame. The class changes coming in Patch 1.1.1 won’t significantly change this, and some skills and passives will be buffed in the new update.
Below is a breakdown of all Rogue class changes in Diablo 4 Patch 1.1.1.
