Diablo 4 Season 9 Hotfixes, July 9th: Catalyst and Infinite Damage Nerfs

Staff Avatar by Staff

We have more improvements to the game live now!

The first nerf of the season is in, as the Cosmic Anomaly Catalyst has its proc rate reduced with projectile skills. Another nerf addresses an infinite damage scaling issues for Sorcerers involving the Infusion Jewel and Enlightenment passive. We’ve recently seen this featured in the Pit 150 Speed Clear we covered here.

There’s also a QoL improvement, as Horadric Portals should be easier to interact with.
