When was Season 7 of Diablo IV?

Season of Witchcraft ran from January 21, 2025 to April 15, 2025.

What are Witch Powers?

24 borrowed-power effects across three Hawezar schools — Eldritch (7 powers), Psyche (6), Growth & Decay (7), Lost (4). Unlocked via the Coven questline and Headhunt Helltide-style zones. Occult Gems crafted from Headrotten drops further empowered skills.

What is the Armory in Diablo IV?

A long-requested feature added in Patch 2.1 during Season 7. The Armory saves and switches between up to 5 full builds — skills, Paragon, gear loadouts — with a single click. Eliminated the manual respec hassle.

Season 7 — Season of Witchcraft

Post-VoH first season. Armory launch.

The first fully post-Vessel-of-Hatred season brought Witch Powers, Occult Gems, and — critically — the Armory feature via Patch 2.1. Community reception was strong: Witchcraft offered the first borrowed-power system since Vampiric Powers, and the Armory finally ended the pain of manual respecs.

Seasonal Mechanic — Witch Powers

24 Witch Powers across three Hawezar schools: Eldritch (7), Psyche (6), Growth & Decay (7), plus a Lost school (4). Unlocked via Coven questline and Headhunt zones (Helltide-style with stacked Whispers). Occult Gems crafted from Headrotten drops further empowered skills.

Seasonal Boss — Headrotten

Headrotten Bosses spawned via Exposed Roots after Whisper bounties in Headhunt zones. Appeared as Headless Husks or rare Fugitive Head variants.

The Armory — Patch 2.1

Long-requested QoL feature. Save up to 5 full build loadouts — skills, Paragon, gear — and switch between them with a single click. Ended the respec-every-time friction for players running multiple builds.
