Although it isn’t forever, Papa Duriel is dropping double the Uber Uniques for a little while in Diablo 4, just in time for the holidays. Let me do the math on that real quick.. 0% x 2 = … 0%!
Duriel’s dumpy is dropping doubles until January 8. That means double the (extremely low chance) of getting the following items:
- Doombringer (Barbarian, Necro, Rogue).
- The Grandfather (Barb, Necro).
- Melted Heart of Selig.
- Andariel’s Visage.
- Harlequin Crest (aka Shako).
- Ring of Starless Skies.
- Ahavarion, Spear of the Lycander (Druid, Sorcerer).
As I jested above, zero times two is still zero, but if it means the 100 runs it would otherwise take you to get Shako would be 50 instead; at least you can try to look on the bright side. Just remember, Season 3 is just around the corner, beginning around January 23, so I wouldn’t go too crazy grinding these if you’re only planning on using them this season.

- Metamorphosis: Unstoppable duration changed to a flat rate instead of scaling with Vampiric power level.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where in extreme cases, Charged Bolts would result in stability and performance issues.
So, all-in-all, not a very meaty patch. Which makes sense, considering Christmas is literally this weekend. I doubt the team wants to drop a giant patch in, inevitably break a bunch of stuff, then dip for the holidays. So let’s all just try to enjoy the double Uber Unique drops and chill until we get some Season 3 news.
