Diablo 5 prioritizes buildcrafting over player execution

Diablo 5 game director Joe Shely says the ARPG will center on "planning and investment," with character power defined by builds rather than reflexes. Moment-to-moment execution mechanics will remain but play a smaller role. The game is slated for Spring 2029.

• DEX-style moment-to-moment execution stays, but won't be decisive
• The comments follow a video by Path of Exile founder Chris Wilson
