Diablo IV on GamGem — common questions

What does GamGem cover for Diablo IV?

15 sections: Builds, Classes, Aspects, Uniques, Items and Gems & Runes, and 9 more. Each one is a database rather than an article — you can filter it, compare rows inside it, and see whether each figure is sourced or a sample.

Which patch is this Diablo IV data from?

Everything on this hub describes patch 3.2.3. The version is printed on the page rather than assumed, because a figure from a previous one is not a slightly old figure — it describes a different game.

Where do the Diablo IV figures on this site come from?

From public pages, each named where its figure is shown — the publisher's own posts first, then the guides players already use. Nothing here is a win rate or a sample: a timer, a reward or a date is copied from its source with the day it was checked, and an editorial ranking is labelled as one.

When was Diablo IV released?

6 June 2023. That is the date the studio itself published; where a game has no announced date, this site prints no date at all rather than an estimate.
