But while plenty of land and air has been tread on the journey, barely any of it has taken place on or around the sea. Thanks to a hilarious new mod, though, that’s no longer the case.

Hey fellow Diablo fans! The moment we all knew was inevitable – I’ve been soaring too high with the Eagle Evade Spiritborn build, and it looks like Blizzard is coming in to clip my wings a bit. With the release of patch 2.0.3 on October 17, 2024, they’re making some tweaks to this ridiculously powerful, one-button spam build that some players have even bound to their mouse wheels.
