The healing wells inDiablo 4currently serve to refill a player’s health bar, primary resource, and potion count, but a small change may make them even more convenient. Though the latest Blizzard title has been an immensely fun experience,Diablo 4is missing several quality-of-life featuresthat players are hoping get added soon. Gem bags, a more customizable user interface, better itemization, and a less punishing version of level scaling are some of the most common suggestions put forward by the community.
As Blizzard sets the stage forDiablo 4’s inaugural season, the developers keep getting flooded by a sea of valuable feedback. To address the community’s biggest concerns,Diablo 4scheduled its first Campfire Chat for June 16. Though it is unlikely that the game will implement all the features that fans have been demanding since launch, the chance forDiablo 4’s developers to explain the future direction of the game will do much to alleviate the community’s anxiety.

The latest quality-of-life change has been suggested by -Nok on the officialDiablosubreddit, and it concerns the game’s healing wells. WhereasDiablo 4classessuch as Sorcerers have passive regeneration on Mana, Druids and Barbarians don’t enjoy the same luxury. Though healing wells will fill up their Resource if Health isn’t full, as it stands, Barbarian and Druid players would need to deliberately damage themselves in order to drink from the healing well to replenish their Fury or Spirit. It could be argued that removing this restriction will help certain classes get that extra boost while doing Nightmare Dungeons without changing the purpose of a healing well.
An alternative suggestion involves splitting the well into a Health and Resource version akin toDiablo 2, but given the way potions work inDiablo 4, running into an “energy well” would feel extremely lackluster. A similar gripe thatDiablo 4players have is related to the Greed Shrine, as its gold bonus is too small to make a difference, and it doesn’t provide the powerful combat boons of other shrines.
Ultimately, many fans would agree thatDiablo 4is a much better game at launch compared to its predecessor. Despite its shortcomings, it has a solid foundation, backed by a decade of lessons learned fromDiablo 3. Its open world is a love letter to the world of Sanctuary, and it will only continue to grow throughDiablo 4’s expansions. As a live service title, players may well get the changes they want sooner rather than later.
Diablo 4is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
