Diablo 4’s Lord of Hatred Signals a Fresh Build-Driven Era
Blizzard’s Lord of Hatred expansion for Diablo 4 adds the Paladin and Warlock, introduces a new region (Skovos) and a Mephisto-led storyline, and overhauls the skill tree to offer far more active build options. The War Plans system ties together endgame activities with configurable rewards, while new talisman sets and Horadric Cube upgrades boost power. Fishing returns as a relaxed exploration activity, and the update emphasizes broader, party-friendly builds. With the expansion launching April 28 and the Paladin testable now, the update aims to deliver a true 2.0 moment for Diablo 4.
