Diablo Immortal developers implemented some pretty interesting balancing adjustments in the newly released Season 13 update.
One of the most significant is that all ranged classes in Diablo Immortal now have an innate 15% reduction of incoming damage. This affects the Demon Hunter, Necromancer, and Wizard classes, and increases the number of hits they can take on the battlefield.
The developers also changed the functionality of some legendary items to encourage players to try out other skills. The Monk's Leering Riptide legendary off-hand weapon not only increases Wave Strike's damage (uncharged and fully charged), but it reduces the time it takes to reach maximum charge from one to 0.5 seconds as well.
You can read the other big changes in this patch below:
