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 a couple of changes aimed at making talent interactions
more straightforward, with
Conflagration of Chaos that naturally
guarantees every subsequent cast past the first
Conflagrate to be a
Critical Hit, and
Hellcaller not having to deal with awkward
timing between 1.5min
Summon Infernal and
Malevolence.
Destruction
- Developers’ notes: We have swapped the positions of Chaos Incarnate
and Inferno to make it easier for Hellcaller to avoid taking Inferno
while trying to access Chaos Incarnate. Additionally, we are updating
Conflagration of Chaos so that it benefits both Conflagrate and
Shadowburn regardless of which spell was cast to activate its
effect.
- Conflagration of Chaos has been updated: Conflagrate and Shadowburn
have a 100% chance to guarantee your next cast of either ability to
critically strike and increases its damage by your critical strike
chance.
- Conflagration of Chaos icon has been updated.
- Chaos Incarnate has swapped locations with Inferno in the talent
tree.
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, Destruction 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 aim to bring balance between the Hero Trees.
Hellcaller
was very close to
Diabolist in single target, but had a big edge in multi-target
environments. The nerfs reduce how much of a gap there is in AoE, while giving more reasons
to play
Diabolist at lower target counts. The spec itself remains very competitive
in damage output in all content, even with some of these nerfs.
Destruction
- Hellcaller: Xalan’s Cruelty now increases Shadow damage dealt by 5%
(was 8%).
- Hellcaller: Xalan’s Ferocity now increases Fire damage dealt by 5%
(was 8%).
- Hellcaller: Blackened Soul damage reduced by 50%.
- Hellcaller: Through the Felvine now increases Rain of Fire damage by
6% (was 8%).
- Hellcaller: Through the Felvine now increases Chaos Bolt damage by
35% (was 10%). This change does not affect PvP.
