Blizzard has reissued the full Diablo 4 Season 10 patch notes with new adjustments, including more class balance changes and more details on the invulnerability phase of Lair bosses!
Diablo IV Patch Notes
We will continually update this article with all patches the development team implements for Diablo IV.
Lair Boss Invulnerability Changes
Thought the invulnerability phase was gone for good? Think again!
- Invulnerability phases can not trigger until 10 seconds have passed.
- Phases can be skipped with high enough damage.
- At 2/3 HP, bosses gain a shield equal to 1/3 of their max life.
- At 1/3 HP, the shield jumps to 2/3 of their max life.
- Shields last 5 seconds, and if broken in time, the boss never goes invulnerable.
Even if the invulnerability is not completely removed, this should make boss fights less frustrating, and actually rewarding burst damage.
