Blizzard, the developers behind Diablo 4, has defended the divisive Druid class stating that it is actually one of the strongest in the game. Despite criticism from some fans on the Druid class’s burly character design, the development team is confident that the class doesn’t require any major changes before launch. The Druid class was one of the weakest during the beta, which garnered the ire of some players, but Blizzard has assured that they are one of the strongest in their internal tests. In a recent interview, Associate Game Director Joe Piepiora explained that players have not yet experienced the Druid’s full potential, which may have added to the false perception that the class was weak. Animal Blessings, a mechanic unique to the Druid class in Diablo 4, was also inaccessible during the beta, which also contributed to the perception of the Druid class being underpowered. Blizzard is confident that once players get to explore the full potential of the Druid class, they will see it in a different light.
Blizzard also plans to fix some issues ahead of release, such as buffing the loot drops of Treasure Goblins that were found to be unimpressive during the Server Slam. The developers have also come under fire for the Druid’s character design compared to other slimmer and muscular builds of other classes. However, Blizzard has made it clear that character design is subjective, and they cannot satisfy everyone in this regard.
Overall, it remains to be seen how well the Druid class will be received by players once Diablo 4 releases. However, the developers are confident that the class will be seen as one of the strongest once players get to experience its full potential. Blizzard has already made some fixes ahead of the release of Diablo 4, so it will be interesting to see how it is received by fans of the franchise.
