Diablo 2: Resurrected: Season 2 is coming! New spells with Breakthrough affix
On September 15, 2022, the Blizzard developers revealed new information about the upcoming patch for Diablo 2: Ressurrected. Important: The new ranked season starts in October. Also important: There are six new Giant Spells with the Break Through keyword.
Something has happened again on the Diablo 2: Resurrected Public Test Server! Firstly, there was an update for the end of the test phase (PTR going offline on September 19th at 19:00) and the start of the second ranked season:
“The flames of the Burning Hells foretold the future, heroes: Ranked Season 2 begins October 6th. Additional information on Ranked Season 2, including the release schedule, will be shared in a future Diablo II: Resurrected blog. We can’t wait for players to start the race for tons of experience and loot as they slay demons and climb the leaderboards!”
New spells with breach
Next to the already presented terror zones Blizzard designers have now announced another innovation for D2R that will bring a breath of fresh air to the meta. There will be six new Giant Spells that will provide you with the new Break Through keyword. “This keyword means that a monster with immunity to a certain damage type will have its resistance reduced to 95%, regardless of the original percentage. In this way, the immunity is broken and they can suffer damage of this type.“
With the spells, Blizzard wants to strengthen all builds that previously had no way of removing the immunities of monsters on Hell difficulty. You can find the new spells on monsters in Terror Zones with difficulty levels Rare, Unique or Champion. However, the spells also come with a downside: “While they lower a monster’s resistance, they also lower your resistance to the same element, allowing you to take more damage of that type.”
Here is the list of new spells:
- The Black Breach: Monsters’ magic immunity is broken / Magic Resistance -50%
- The broken bone: Monsters’ physical immunity is broken / Physical damage taken increased by 25%
- The Cold Gap: Monsters’ cold immunity is broken / Cold Resistance -75%
- The Heavenly Rift: Monster’s Lightning Immunity is broken / Lightning Resistance -75%
- The fissure: Monster’s Fire Immunity is broken / Fire Resistance -75%
- The Blight Chasm: Monsters’ poison immunity is broken / Poison Resistance -75%
