All New Class Skills in Diablo 4 2.0

Along with all the other changes in Season 6, update 2.0 brings a new skill for each class to utilize in Diablo 4. This guide will outline each new ability and the lines for each one.

Every New Class Skill in Diablo 4 2.0 (Season 6)

Each class will get one new skill in Diablo 4 that comes with an enhancement and two branching modifiers. Although each of the five base game options will get a new ability, that doesn’t mean they are all equal. For example, one class has a fresh core skill to use while another one can start testing a fresh ultimate. You can find all the information about each skill below directly from the Diablo 4 PTR notes.

These will all be available on the live client for the first time in Season 6, which has the same release date as the Vessel of Hatred expansion. Tons of changes are guaranteed as we head toward October, and these are just another reason to roll an alternative character outside of the Spiritborn class that makes a debut.

Diablo 4 is available now on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
