Diablo 3 Character Patch Previews are Live

Blizzard has released the Witch Doctor, Demon Hunter, and Monk patch preview blogs on their official site. You can take a look at the intended patches coming soon in version 1.0.4, slated for launch by the end of the month.

According to the previews, the Witch Doctor will be receiving "most attention in patch 1.0.4." Blizzard took a step back, examined what the players liked or disliked about each class and then made appropriate changes to hone the Diablo 3 experience.

Be sure to take a look at each individual preview page, as the amount of information is overwhelming, but allow me to break down the overall categorical tweaks for you.

Witch Doctor

- Pet survivability

- Vision Quest design flaws

- Splinters and Zombie Bears are way more appealing than most other skills

Demon Hunter

- Hatred Generators

- Hatred Spenders

- Iconic Abilities

Monk

- Spirit Spenders

- Passives

Wizard

- Skill design philosophy for Diablo as a whole

- What makes Venom Hydra as strong as it is

- Why, rather than nerfing Venom Hydra, we're simply going to buff all the other Hydra variants

Barbarian

- Bash and Cleave are not very attractive compared to Frenzy

- Many of the damage-oriented Fury Spenders don't do enough damage to justify the spot on your bar
