Midnight Season 1 Release Changes
Midnight Season 1 has released, and with it came a lot of new content.
It brought with it three new Raids, alongside heralding the start of Season
1 for both Mythic+ and PvP. With all the new things available, we've provided
some dedicated hubs covering everything available!

Patch 12.0.5 Changes
Patch 12.0.5 brings some minor adjustments to Demonology Warlock, with the aim
to make both Grimoire choices similarly appealing and a fix to Antoran Jailer
summon which would previously result in damage being lost at higher Haste
values.
Demonology
- Developers’ notes: We are updating Grimoire: Fel Ravager to utilize
Devour Magic instead of Spell Lock due to how powerful having access to
a second interrupt is in all forms of content. Secondly, we are
updating the spell the Antoran Jailer uses when summoned by the
Dominion of Argus apex talent. This new version will reduce tuning
constraints as its scalability will no longer be controlled by an
unlimited target count.
- Grimoire: Fel Ravager has been updated: Summons a Fel Ravager to
assist you in combat for 20 seconds and will purge 1 beneficial magic
effect from an enemy. Turns into Devour Magic while on cooldown.
- Antoran Jailer’s Soul Barrage has been updated: Releases a volley of
Chaos magic that deals Chaos damage to the target and up to 10
additional targets within 10 yards.
In addition to this, a variety of open world content releases worth checking out!
The Voidforge Unlocks!
The Voidforge is Midnight's take on Bonus Rolls and Turbo Boost, allowing you to
target specific big ticket items through a new bonus roll system. You can also
further empower trinkets and weapons, and we have recommendations on our
Gear page.
Void Assaults are Unleashed
Eversong Woods and Zul'Aman are under siege from the forces of the Void. Thwarting
their attacks provide a new way to acquire gear all the way up to Hero level, and
you can check out more on our Void Assault hub.
Disrupt Ritual Sites
Sharing a similar reward structure to Void Assaults, Ritual Sites are instanced
content similar to Delves. You can find out all about them on our Ritual Sites page.

Show March 17th Class TuningHide March 17th Class Tuning
With the launch of Season 1, Demonology Warlock received a handful of changes, and
Blizzard previously stated that there is more tuning to come in the following weeks. The
season launch changes clearly aim to tone down some of the overperformance of the
spec up until now, as it was performing exceptionally well. One of the main culprits was the
random output depending on which Apex Summon you would get, which is why they received different
nerfs to their output.
The Soul Harvester changes target most the splash damage, and come alongside some
single-target compensatory buffs. The end result is a clearer use case for both Hero Trees,
with
Soul Harvester still being the preferred choice for single-target, and
Diabolist being better in multitarget environments.

Jailer damage reduced by 45%, Lady Sacrolash damage increased by 35%, and
