The Spiritborn has definitely become the talk of the town in Diablo 4 Season 6, with over 60% of players choosing to try out the new class instead of starting out with one of the original ones. With more than half of the player base going for the Spiritborn, it's no wonder that the community managed to create some of the strongest Diablo 4 builds that have ever seen the light of day. With this in mind, Blizzard has decided to drop patch 2.0.5, the idea of which is not nerfing the class but rather buffing the rest of the roster, bridging the gap and allowing players to complete the hardest content in the game without having to stick to the meta. The Spiritborn is still going to go through a couple of balancing adjustments, mainly to underutilized skills. Here are all of the Spiritborn changes that are coming to Diablo 4 with patch 2.0.5!
