Blizzard could've let Diablo 4's weakest classes ride it out until the expansion, but it's showering them in buffs for season 5 instead

Sorcerers and druids have had a rough time competing with Diablo 4's other classes even though Blizzard has improved almost everything else about the game. Both of them fall behind the others when it comes to raw power, and their most effective builds are not as fun. But in season 5, which starts next week, sorcerers and druids are getting loads of buffs to help them out before Blizzard takes a more comprehensive look at them after the expansion's release in October.

To start, Blizzard is solving the boss problem. In season 5, all endgame bosses will have considerably less health, and those in The Pit, a series of brutal dungeons made to be the ultimate test of your build, will have their damage reduced by a massive 66%. While these nerfs will obviously help everyone, sorcerers and druids now won't feel quite as pigeonholed into specific builds to survive the hardest fights in the game.
