Diablo IV Reveals 22 Vampiric Powers for Season of Blood, including 40% Faster Leveling

[Tsing]

Blizzard has published a new article about Season of Blood, confirming that Diablo IV's second season will introduce 22 new powers for returning players to mess with when it launches later this month on October 17 at 10 a.m. PDT. These Vampiric Powers, as they're called, require special equipment called Pact Armor before they can be exploited, but those who find the right drops will be able to take advantage of all sorts of new abilities that include insta-killing CC'd mobs, guaranteed critical strikes, and additional attack speed boosts—something that has already proven to be a lot of fun for Flurry Rogues and other fast builds. According to a separate article that Blizzard shared, Season of Blood will also feature a ton of quality-of-life updates as part a patch that will be rolled out on the same day, with one of the bigger ones alluding to 40% faster leveling: "The experience gained from killing monsters at level 50+ has been significantly increased and rises steadily as you level." Complementing Season of Blood's launch later this month will be Diablo IV's arrival on Steam.
