Frequently Asked Questions
When does the Warlock class arrive in Diablo Immortal?
Warlock is confirmed for Summer 2026 per the official roadmap. The class is a dark spellcaster rooted in Vizjerei magic with mastery over demons including the Soulgorger. It will be the first new class added since Tempest. Expect a free unlock for everyone with paid cosmetic packs.
What is The Taking?
The Taking is the main quest storyline introduced in Patch 4.3 (March 2026). Players investigate eerie disappearances tied to the resurgence of familiar evils — the first signs of a far greater scheme. The quest unlocks the Rocky Waste zone and ties into the upcoming Andariel return event.
What is Lut Gholein and why does it matter?
Lut Gholein is the iconic Diablo II Act 2 city. The Summer 2026 Diablo Immortal patch brings it back, split into two wards: Common Ward (chaotic, the bustling outer city) and High Ward (the elegant inner sanctum, now hellishly desecrated). Massive new questing area and the lore anchor for the Andariel return.
What is the current endgame difficulty cap?
Diablo Immortal's endgame ladder runs through Hell I-VI and then into the Inferno tier. Each Inferno tier raises Combat Rating requirements, scales monster damage, and unlocks higher Paragon-level loot tables — players grind Combat Rating through Legendary Gems, set items, and Paragon to push the next tier. Tier requirements and gear targets shift with each patch, so check the live patch notes after major content drops for the current ceiling.
