Blizzard Disables Diablo 4's Hex of Whispers Due to Stability Issues

The Witchcraft power introduced in Season 7 has been temporarily removed, with no timeline yet for its return.

Blizzard launched Diablo 4's Season 7, themed 'Season of Witchcraft,' on January 21, 2025, introducing new powers, items, and gameplay mechanics.
The Hex of Whispers, a Witchcraft power dealing Shadow damage and bouncing between enemies, was disabled on January 22 due to stability issues.
The 2.1.0 hotfix also addressed a bug with the Barbarian's Mantle of Mountain's Fury Unique, which previously failed to deal damage as intended.
Players have expressed confusion about Hex of Whispers being unavailable, but Blizzard confirmed it will remain inactive until a future hotfix resolves the issue.
Season 7 has been well-received overall, offering new content like Occult Gems and Headhunt mechanics, despite these early technical setbacks.
