Diablo 4 Necromancer corpse explosions have finally been fixed so you can actually see the game

Blizzard has quietly fixed one of the most annoying issues in Diablo 4, allowing everyone to finally see through the corpse explosions left by Necromancers.

Many of the best Diablo 4 Necromancer builds involve Corpse Explosion, an ability that lets the class, well, explode corpses to deal damage to enemies. Through a chain of upgrades, you can also get to Blighted Corpse Explosion, which causes corpses to release a "vile miasma" that deals damage over time instead of just exploding.

But the fix did go live as part of Diablo 4 patch 1.0.3 earlier this week - it was just never included in the patch notes. The closest thing we got was a line about "various stability, performance, and visual improvements across all platforms." As Fletcher says, "it was just lumped under visual improvements but should have been its own line for sure. Our bad on that one."

We'll find out the Diablo 4 Season 1 start date sometime next week - the devs had previously only set a vague mid-to-late July window.
