Diablo 4 Season 7 Bug Is Letting Players Deal Near Infinite Damage, But Nobody Knows Exactly Why

Diablo 4 Season of Witchcraft may have just launched, but already what appears to be a bug with one of Season 7's new Witchcraft Powers is allowing top players to break the game.

How, exactly, the bug works is still unclear, but it revolves around using the Decay Augmentation Witchcraft Power introduced as part of the season to deal trillions of damage and delete even the game's hardest enemies in an instant. Spiritborn were recently nerfed as part of Season 7, largely by Blizzard fixing a number of bugs related to the class, but now some builds for it deal so much damage by taking advantage of the bug that the game begins to display negative numbers instead.

While it's not as straightforward as simply equipping the power and winning, some of the best Diablo 4 players in the world are crafting builds to take advantage of the power's unique effect, which sees Witchcraft Powers deal additional damage over time as bleeding, burning, poisoning, or shadow, depending on the class.
