Two new patches for Diablo IV have dropped in the past few days, and they've introduced some significant changes to the game. June 4's Patch 1.0.2e is the most recent, but it was June 3's Patch 1.0.2d that really adjusted the math behind many of the game's classes, and that's likely to have an impact on your play experience.

Patch 1.0.2e fixed an issue where players couldn't type in their preferred language during shop checkout, as well as a nasty stuttering bug on high-end machines. Patch 1.0.2d contained many specific changes that we'll break down below. Its most general change came in the form of a nerf to Paragon Glyphs, which Blizzard considered too powerful prior to the patch.
