Diablo 2: Resurrected Version 2.7.4 Patch Notes

Gameplay

Several adjustments have been made to enhance the gameplay experience. The issue where the Assassin's Blade Fury skill ceased when the initial target monster died has been fixed. Issues that caused the Assassin's Dragon Tail skill to inconsistently consume charges and to create de-sync and rubber banding problems have also been resolved.

The Act III Mercenary no longer targets Ravens with Enchant, and the problem of failing to join a game during a terror zone rotation has been addressed. Additionally, skill binding issues during weapon swapping and missile desynchronization when targeting an enemy standing on an item have been fixed.

User Interface and User Experience

Improvements to the user interface and experience include accurate display of the Amazon’s Lightning Bolt tooltip on the character screen. The character list now remains in the correct order upon game relaunch on PC. Console updates for this issue are anticipated soon.

Other fixes in this segment include the Slow Missiles tooltip showing precise information for the next skill level and correcting the absence of an arrow between the Lightning and Chain Lightning skills in the skill tree when using a controller.
