Diablo 4 Spiritborn Evasion Fix Coming This Week Confirms Blizzard

Blizzard has announced that a hotfix will be released this week to address the Evade cast animations of Diablo 4’s new Spiritborn class. The Spiritborn was introduced with Diablo 4’s new expansion Vessel of Hatred, but players have found that with certain builds, their character is able to endlessly evade.

What’s Causing the Issue?

Community director Adam Fletcher explained that the issue is caused by the Spiritborn being able to break animation frames during Evade immediately. This has led to players being able to Evade instantly during another one, resulting in an overpowered feature.

Why is the Fix Necessary?

The reason for the change is not to remove an amusingly overpowered feature, but because it’s impacting other players. Fletcher stated that if a build ends up impacting the experience of others, they may make changes immediately, and this is one of those instances.

What to Expect from the Patch

The patch, expected to come in 2.0.3 later this week, will fix the Evade issue and also address crashes and other hot button items. This patch comes after Vessel of Hatred launched on 8th October, which got off to a rocky start with a short delay due to technical issues.
