Diablo 4 sees players fighting many fearsome foes across Sanctuary but none are more feared than the dreaded bees. Lilith’s power pails in comparison to the mere mention of these enemies in Diablo 4 and players aren’t sure whether to be horrified or break out in laughter at their sheer power.
Taking to the Diablo 4 Reddit, one player, again, posed the question, “Why are bees the most powerful enemy in [Diablo 4]?” The player, known as DatBoi247, just couldn’t get over the fact that some of the game’s most gruesome-looking foes wielding axes and other assortments of weapons could deal less damage than bees that simply shoot other little bees at the player. They said, “Why is this? Is it because they’re poisonous or something? I noticed that poison does insane damage to you in this game.”
This isn’t the first time players have noticed the unyielding power of these enemies as many point back to their time in Diablo 3 Act 2, where the bees were equally as unforgiving. One player said, “It’s paying homage to vanilla [Diablo 3] bees for that sweet nostalgia hit.” Noting that these creatures are, “not merely bees, sir, they are very scary, hate-filled insectoids,” one player said that, “for gameplay purposes, the damage can be tuned high because their projectiles are slow. They punish you hard for standing still.”
Other players have also noted that the poison damage from enemies in Diablo 4 is nothing new to the series. Speaking on the strength of bees in Diablo 4, one player noted, “It’s funny that poison damage has always been bugged in Diablo. Diablo 4 bee is insane, Diablo 3 bee is insane. And then in Diablo 2, the poison vipers in Nihlathak’s area straight-up one-shot most characters until they were fixed in Diablo 2 Ressurected recently.”
In other Diablo 4 news, Diablo 4 is giving out free battle pass tier skips to Amazon Prime subscribers and Diablo 4 players wax nostalgic as the community begs devs to add gold-collecting pets.
