Diablo 4 temporarily disabled one of its Legendary Aspects to solve related issues. In Diablo 4 there's a variety of activities that provide entertainment for players from the most casual to the most courageous. But one activity loved by most Diablo players is hunting for the best equipment the game can offer.
Among the new features in Diablo 4 are the Legendary Aspects, which add a new layer of diversity to the game. Diablo 4's Legendary Aspects are unique modifiers that can turn Rare items into Legendary ones. To access Legendary Aspects players have two options, with one being the Codex of Power. For players who prefer to obtain Legendary Aspects the old-fashioned way, the second option is to raid dungeons and slay demons. Regardless of the way they are obtained, Legendary Aspects help unlock the true potential of the player's character.
On the official Blizzard forum, community manager PezRadar announced that Diablo 4 has temporarily disabled Edgemaster's Aspect to resolve related issues. Legendary Aspects are segmented into five categories, with the Edgemaster's Aspect being the offensive type. If the character has an item with this Aspect equipped, the damage will be increased based on the Primary Resource available when cast. PezRadar didn't say when Edgemaster's Aspect will be re-enabled and warned players that despite this, items with the Aspect equipped will still be functional. The only difference is that these items cannot trigger the Edgemaster's Aspect while it's disabled.
The disabling of Edgemaster's Aspect has divided a few Diablo 4 players. Some players said their builds got bricked because of it, and some others revealed they experienced a significant loss of offensive power. One player on the Diablo 4 subreddit said they are now getting 30,000 crits while they used to get numbers between 100,000 - 200,000. Diablo 4 has had some setbacks in the launch week, and one of them led to the deactivation of Diablo 4's biggest challenge. While the Edgemaster's Aspect didn't have any specific bugs, another player on the game's subreddit explained that it was designed in a way that Barbarian players had practically infinite damage when using a specific combo.
Patches have become part of the reality of modern gaming, and it's no different with Diablo 4 in its early days. It is an advantage of modern technology, after all, that it makes it possible to adjust the game according to the feedback received by the community. For Diablo 4 players who now can't count on Edgemaster's Aspect, the solution is to wait and take the time to try other Diablo 4 builds.
Diablo 4 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
