Diablo 4 players are sharing their concerns about potential build diversity in the upcoming Season 11. Some players are concerned that a few factors may affect the variation of builds that are currently possible in Diablo 4, specifically in Season 10.

D4 Season 10 Crackling Energy Sorcerer Leveling Build

Cleverly putting together overpowered builds and completely destroying hordes upon hordes of enemies makes up a large chunk of Diablo 4's appeal. So when Blizzard added Chaos Armor in Diablo 4 Season 10, the developer opened up tons of new ways for players to build their characters via Unique armor items that can be worn in different slots than usual. Overall, this made buildcrafting more flexible, but the fact that the well-received Chaos Armor is a seasonal addition has some players concerned.

All Diablo 4 Season 10 Sorcerers Will Want this Item on Hand

Diablo 4 Season 10 is a heyday for Sorcerer fans, and players won't want to miss out on one item to round out the best gear setups.

Some Diablo 4 Players Think Season 11 Will Harm Build Diversity

A Reddit thread started by BasisUnhappy3402 has raised the issue with potential Diablo 4 Season 11 builds, claiming that build diversity is going to take a step back next Season. And while Chaos Armor was raised as one potential issue, while other seasonal powers "that made some skills core skills" then opened up new possibilities for players that weren't viable in previous Seasons.

While some agreed that build diversity could be a problem in Diablo 4 Season 11, the thread did feature a lot of nuanced discussion about the problem. Others felt that simply making everyone do tons of damage with overpowered builds wasn't a great solution, citing Chaos Armor in particular as harming the usefulness of regular Diablo 4 Uniques. Another argument was that "this diversity is still artificial," because the builds are "mostly reliant on seasonal power and completely vanish once the power is gone."

Overall, the response to Season 11 (via the now-concluded 2.5.0 PTR) has been fairly mixed. The upcoming Diablo 4 Masterworking changes have been met with criticism from players, with many claiming that it's a boring step back from the system currently in use. However, all this feedback is useful for Blizzard, so it remains to be seen what changes will take place between now and Season 11's full launch in December.
