Blizzard Prevents Permanent Immunity for Diablo 3 New Patch


Diablo 3 new patch 2.2.0 got some interesting effect, which will enable permanent players immunity with the use of some new legendaries for Diablo 3 items. While attaining that status is an achievement. Right now Blizzard is taking some abilities to prevent this from happening; in fact this very outcome has been on their radar for a while now.

Also Blizzard will bring in some new and powerful items that can do the same, albeit in a more balanced manner in case to make the move decrease the fun for playing. Permanent immunity isn’t new to D3 items, and Blizzard have spent some time thinking in a way to balance its effects.

An initial pass saw Demon Hunters, in patch 2.1.2, see a cooldown being added to Smoke Screen - an ability which granted invulnerability for a very short duration of time - and prevented back-to-back chaining. In the next PTR patch, the same will be done to various other class abilities that grant immunity: Spirit Walk, Serenity and Laws of Hope - Stop Time. Now, they will begin their cooldowns once the abilities duration has expired. To balance this, these skills have had their cooldowns reduced in some way.

Interestingly, this change is actually a hidden boon - with the headache of balancing these types of builds, Blizzard can play around more with items; legendary ones specifically. Some guys in Blizzard claimed that there will be a stop gap to ensure that permanent invincibility is no longer a concern.
