New Class: Warlock
The most important thing is of course the presence of the eighth class, namely Warlock: a male book-holding character who combines ranged and melee gameplay.
But her specialties don't stop there. With the aid of dark magic and forbidden scriptures, she possesses abilities players can't find in previous classes.
There are three skill trees that players can choose from, each offering different gameplay and unique builds that can only be obtained in that class:
- Eldritch
This category is perfect for those who enjoy tinkering with weapon and item builds. With its power, Warlock will provide a very fresh and new hack-and-slash experience.
- Chaos
This category is perfect for those who enjoy classic gameplay. With a Sorcerer-like playstyle, players can enjoy ranged gameplay with fire spells and area-of-effect (AoE) magic.
- Demons
This is the most unique category: controlling and using demonic powers! This applies to mobs players encounter during skirmishes and dungeons, as well as those they summon themselves.
New Items
Along with the new class, Blizzard naturally also introduced a slew of new items. The most obvious example is the various Warlock Tome variations, such as the Tome, Compendium, and so on.
You can combine this with other items to create the best Warlock set: creating the ultimate build that you can use to crush the “sea” of mobs in every skirmish and dungeon.
In addition, there are also rings, runewords, gems, updates to old item statuses and charm mechanics, etc. In total, there are more than 30 new items that you can get in this DLC!
The arrival of End Game Mode
Modern games would certainly feel incomplete without an addictive end-game mode. That's why Blizzard is striving to provide a similar experience in this DLC.
They did this by reworking the Terror Zone mechanics. Now players will have a new experience that's more challenging, dynamic, and less monotonous.
Additionally, there are Terror Zone Shards, stones (drop items) that allow you to return to a specific act without having to bother re-gachaing the random number generator (RNG).
Then there's a new mob called the "Herald" (a type of boss) that will drop some awesome loot! But of course, its power and mobility will be higher, making it harder to defeat.
Lastly, if players collect certain items from the Herald, they can use these to unlock a new Uber fight: the Three Overpowered Barbarian Ancients!
Increasing Quality of Life (QoL)
Not only that, there are also several other QoL additions that will ensure this game's longevity for at least another 1-2 years. The details are as follows:
- Added a new “Stash” feature that makes it easier for players to sort items, as well as move items between characters without using a “mule”;
- The “Loot Filter” setting feature allows you to select drops more simply;
- Feature to import setting options from other players;
- The “Chronicle” feature (inspired by the Diablo community) makes it easy for players to track what items they have obtained;
- Regular updates from the developer for balancing (buffs and nerfs) and other improvements.
Price and Platform
So, Vicigers, are you interested in getting this DLC? Yep, all of the new content above isn't free. You'll need to pay to enjoy it.
Regardless of whether you play on PS (4/5), Xbox (Series S/X), Nintendo Switch (1/2), or Windows, Blizzard gives the same price tag, namely USD 25 or around IDR 300 thousand.
