5 New Unique Rings Bring Back Fan-Favorite Malignant Powers
The most significant addition in this patch is the five new Unique rings being added to the game for both the Seasonal and Eternal Realm. These rings include powers seen in the previous season of Diablo 4, Season of the Malignant, with one for each class to find and use, which will drop in the overworld and from the endgame boss, Varshan.
These rings are as follows, with the X being the variable percentage or damage depending on player level and item roll.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Ring of Red Furor (Barbarian Unique Ring) | After spending 100 Fury within 3 seconds, your next cast of Hammer of the Ancients, Upheaval, or Death Blow is a guaranteed Critical Strike and deals 10—30% (multiplicative damage) X bonus Critical Strike Damage. |
| Ring of the Sacrilegious Soul (Necromancer Unique Ring) | Automatically activate the following equipped Skills on Corpses around you: Raise Skeleton every X seconds. Corpse Explosion every X seconds. Corpse Tendrils every X seconds. |
| Tal Rasha’s Iridescent Loop (Sorcerer Unique Ring) | For each type of Elemental damage you deal, gain X increased damage for 4 seconds. Dealing Elemental damage refreshes all bonuses. |
| Writhing Band of Trickery (Rogue Unique Ring) | Casting a Subterfuge Skill leaves behind a Decoy Trap that continuously Taunts and lures enemies. The Decoy Trap explodes after 3 seconds dealing X Shadow damage. Can occur every 12 seconds. |
| Airidah’s Inexorable Will (Druid Unique Ring) | When casting an Ultimate Skill and again 5 seconds after, Pull in Distant enemies and deal X Physical damage to them. This damage is increased by 1% per 1 point of Willpower you have. |

The Sanguine Battery Event has seen a few tweaks in this patch, with the Pillar’s Health being increased from 75% to 85% and the repair time being decreased from 3 seconds to 1 second.
