Diablo Immortal Update: Druid Class Leaks & Patch Notes

Introduction

A fresh wave of Diablo Immortal leaks hints at a possible Druid class, complete with shapeshifting abilities. While nothing is confirmed by Blizzard, some players are excited to see a wolf and bear form in the future. Alongside these rumors, an official patch is here with lowered combat rating requirements for Inferno 5, new Legendary gear, and a revamped Season 26 Battle Pass. Whether you’re a hardcore raider or a casual fan, these updates might give you more reasons to jump back into Sanctuary.

Druid Class Leaks & Shapeshifting Hype

Recent data-mined information points to two main Druid attacks—Rock Protrusion and Rod Strike—as well as two potential ultimates named Hype or Soul of Beast. If these leaks hold true, Druids might switch between wolf and bear forms, possibly with a “buck charge” resembling a deer’s rush. This is still speculative, but it matches the idea of a wild, shapeshifter class. Many fans hope this plays similarly to the Druid in Diablo IV, known for its rugged versatility.

For the latest rumors and details on the Druid class, keep an eye on community forums and fan sites. Since none of these leaks are official, stay tuned for Blizzard’s confirmation—or denial.

Patch Highlights & Combat Rating Tweaks

The patch lands on February 12, bringing a few key changes. The biggest one? Inferno 5’s combat rating requirement has been lowered to 44,765 from its higher mark, making it easier for more players to join top-tier content. Those who spent extra resources to exceed the previous threshold might be frustrated, but the community at large is pleased to see a more accessible path into higher difficulties.

Additionally, Inferno 4 and 5 Helliquary bosses will be adjusted to match these combat rating updates. If you’re looking to farm demonic remains or push group raids, you’ll find the path a bit more welcoming now.

New Legendary Items & Class Adjustments

Each class gets fresh Legendary items, opening the door to new builds and playstyles. Barbarians, Wizards, Monks, and others will all have something new to toy around with. If you’re a build enthusiast, plan to hit dungeons, events, and activities that drop Legendaries. It’s always fun discovering combos that weren’t possible before.

Beyond that, set items now have a rank cap raised to 25 instead of 20, adding more depth to late-game character progression. Just when you thought you maxed out your gear, there’s another tier to chase.

Season 26 Battle Pass & Limited-Time Events

The Season 26 Battle Pass arrives on February 13, replacing the ending pass. Note that the new pass now awards its cosmetic item at rank 15 instead of 40. This is great if you enjoy collecting outfits sooner.

If you buy the enhanced or collector’s Battle Pass, you can choose which class will receive your new cosmetics when you first claim them. That’s especially handy if you’re planning a class swap soon. In addition, several returning events—including Winds of Fortune, Trial of the Hordes, and more—bring time-limited buffs and extra drops, so it’s a good chance to level up and gear up.

Meanwhile, the Feast of Valenti event runs from February 12 through March 12, handing out rewards for completing in-game tasks. You won’t likely see endgame-defining items here, but it’s a welcome way to pick up some handy goodies just by logging in and playing.

Warband & Battleground Changes

Warbands can now mark their main activity style (free association or scheduled group play), making it easier to organize with like-minded players. There’s also an option to auto-recruit through world chat and faction channels, though be mindful of who might pop in.

On the PvP side, Battlegrounds dish out better rewards at the end of each season. Rank up to Gold or beyond to snag a bundle of Legendary Crests, with Legend rank offering the most. However, keep in mind that if you switch classes during a season, you must complete at least 20 matches with the new class to unlock its end-of-season rewards.

Final Thoughts

This update might not be huge, but the lowered Inferno 5 requirements, new Legendary items, and improved Battleground rewards should give both returning and current players a reason to jump back in. Plus, Druid leaks have the community buzzing about shapeshifting and new mechanics. While we wait for official confirmation on that, now is an ideal time to gear up and prepare for whatever Blizzard rolls out next. Have fun out there in Sanctuary, and keep an eye out for any official word on that wolf-and-bear-wielding Druid.
