Diablo III Season 34 begins on January 24. Eradicate Hell’s emissaries using powerful boons granted by the season theme, and more.
Where is the balance patch?

I’m surprised they start next season 3 days after D4 starts their season. They should have started season 34 today!

Garbage. Why go through all that stopping of 33 they did for one week.

The link to the blog should be fixed now.

“Been there, done that” up next D4 S7.

Oh, this is the season power that allowed Shadow Strafe Impale, right? I skipped out on that build going Crusader. Might go DH for a bit just to run that build for a bit. Cool!

Yeah. I mean, I’m happy and all, but this makes absolutely no sense business wise.

Are the devs going to create a new era in NS when season S34 begins, or should this have happened on January the 1st?

Please notify the staff to also correct the scripts on EU forums, as the links there still point to “blog”, thus get redirected to main Diablo 3 page.

Definitely the seasonal theme I was hoping for so that’s nice! Just wish it was starting today… seems like a waste to have reinstated everything. But I’ll take it

It was not mentioned in the preview notes - will we be able to equip one each of a Sanctified item, and a crafted Primal item on the same character?
EDIT: For clarification, primals crafted with recipe 11 in Kanai’s Cube, not primals from the Blacksmith.

Can we start taking bets now? I’d like to have someone screen shot this now. For posterity.
That way, when D4’s next expansion comes out in 4th quarter '25, and they have to delay D3’s seasons again, and we have THIS fiasco repeated again:
I’d like to be able to link to this post, “tap the sign,” and give the smirk emoji.
It’ll be an annual Diablo tradition.

Balance patch was in season 30, there will be no more updates to the game
I wonder if the ‘Sanctified Fist of the Heavens’ will stack with Vigilante belt?
The belt got updated in a later season with almost the same power, but not quite.
Sanctified Fist of the Heavens: Every 2 seconds, call down Fist of the Heavens on a random nearby enemy. After casting Steed Charge, this effect occurs more rapidly for 5 secons. (Crusader Only).
Vigilante Belt: While Steed Charge is active, Fist of the Heavens deals increased damage equal to your movement speed, and is automatically called down on a random nearby enemy at an interval based on your attack speed if it is on your action bar. (Crusader Only)
So since FotH procs from different sources (auto every 2 secs. + when Steed is active + 5 seconds after Steed), wouldn’t it make sense, that you get both affixes?
I like the visual from the Sanctified one much better, so I hope that you get both. ^^

Wish we had any PTR for testing, so we could be more hyped because of testing.
Not that i like this season theme, cause im not.
“braindead” builds again and people will not even know how to play meta, again.
There will be so many DH bots it will be unbelievable, having absolutely no idea what to do on that “braindead” build.
Same with Lod Hota barbs…
Meanwhile:
I cant find a single hota or impale build on co-op leaderboards in season 27 crucibles, but surely there will be a plague of them in public games
Nothing to test, so no need for PTR.
If you want no-braindead builds and no-braindead meta, let’s remove the supports and see how the players do

It isn’t. It still directs to the Blizzard News page first. Only after you’ve clicked the link to the article from the BN page does the link in the OP here work directly going to the S34 article.
It works fine for me. It takes me directly to the Season 34: Light’s Calling – Preview.
