The patch notes for the next major Diablo 4 update have finally been released, and they are full to the brink with class changes, item adjustments, as well as the new Gauntlet weekly challenge dungeon. Patch 1.3.3 will officially launch on March 5th, marking the beginning of the second half of Season of the Construct. Nearly all of the balance adjustments in this update are buffs, aiming to bring some items and skills up to par with the highest performers in the meta.
The Druid is not only receiving changes to most of their basic skills but also huge buffs to their minions. Minion builds in Diablo 4 have been quite underpowered since the launch of the game, and Blizzard has finally started to put them on their radar. Here is the full list of Druid changes coming with Patch 1.3.3 in Diablo 4 Season 3.

Diablo 4 Patch 1.3.3 - All Druid Changes
The Druid is receiving buffs to tons of basic skills, passives, and items. Resource generators in general are going to be a lot stronger in Patch 1.3.3, with Earth Spike, Wind Shear, Claw, and Maul all getting some significant buffs, allowing players to have more options for their builds. The big highlight of the patch, however, is definitely the balance adjustments to minion skills. Wolves, Ravens, and the Poison Creeper are all becoming a lot stronger, and we hope that a pure summoner Druid build is finally going to be viable. Here is the full list of Druid changes that are coming to Diablo 4 on March 5th:
