Blizzard cranks the dial on Diablo 4's endgame progression so its brutal new dungeons don't tear you apart

Next week, Diablo 4 will drop a new endgame seasonal event that is so hard you might not be able to finish the last tier of it. Blizzard demonstrated it on stream yesterday and promised that it would challenge the most powerful builds in the game. Possibly out of mercy, Blizzard will make it much easier to improve your character in the same patch, saving you time and misery as you attempt the Abattoir of Zir.

Patch 1.2.3 will go live on December 5 and will include significant improvements to the speed of leveling up your Glyphs, Diablo 4's endgame progression system. When you hit level 50, you stop gaining skill points and gain Paragon Points instead. As you draw a line of upgrades on your Paragon Board, you can unlock sockets to place Glyphs into. Glyphs let you target specific stats, like Critical Strike Chance or Vulnerable damage, to empower your particular build. And by completing Nightmare Dungeons, you can dole out XP to each of your Glyphs to increase their bonuses.
