Diablo 5 director promises Diablo 2-style combat where 'the right build' matters more than Diablo 4's…
The director of Diablo 5 has indicated a shift towards Diablo 2-style combat, emphasizing build planning over moment-to-moment execution, contrasting with Diablo 4's dexterity-focused approach. This move aims to bring back heavier RPG elements and player investment in character builds, which some players have missed since Diablo 3 and 4. The developers are exploring ways to incorporate older design philosophies while still innovating for the new title.
