First Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred patch nerfs the Butcher, makes charms easier to find, and raises questions about "where a useless unique item could be transmuted"

Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred.

The first substantial patch post-Lord of Hated rolls out on Diablo 4 in a couple of days, and Blizzard's revealed the long, long list of changes. Besides a cavalcade of minor bug fixes, we've got a number of quality-of-life improvements and tweaks across many aspects of the game, including to Talismans, War Plans, and plenty more.

An immediate stand-out in the patch notes is actually buried towards the bottom, in the endgame section. If you've been having real problems with the Burning Butcher, it turns out the odds were stacked against you. He's been debuffed substantially; he now has considerably less health, and one of his abilities has been toned down.
