Martial Arts has been reworked to cast the stage of the skill you are on when you attack with that skill so if a player has two charges they will use the second charge of that skill on attack and on the third attack they will use the third and reset back to 1.

Finishers are no longer required however if you use one you will cast every stage of every charge you have generated.

Season 4 Patch 9 (2022-04-01)
This was likely the patch that implemented the temporary crafters league - the date is estimated based on this change from a patch during that league on 2022-04-04:
Rathma is now enabled in single player (was added last patch but not included in patch notes)
Other patch changes during the crafters league only applied to the league itself rather than season 4 in general, so they're listed in that category instead.
Crafters Race League - April 1st 2022 through May 6th 2022
Notes
Since D2r ladders will also be 4 months long, PD2's S5 is being delayed until about halfway through the D2r ladder (D2r ladder scheduled to begin April 28th) in order to stagger the reset dates going forward. Since it's been ~4 months from the beginning of S4 and the next season won't be for a while, this mini-league with a twist will be available to anyone itching for a reset.
Crafters Race League - will begin April 1st 10am PST, and ends April 22nd May 6th
Rare/craft-focused league without unique/set/runeword items, except unique charms (Annihilus, Hellfire Torch, Gheed's Fortune)
200% experience mode in hell mode
Only 35% rejuvenation potions will exist, no full rejuvenations
Maps will be players 5 drops
Rare items will roll a minimum number of affixes based on their ilvl (4 affixes for 45+, 5 affixes for 65+, 6 affixes for 85+)
Rare items can be used in crafting recipes
Map events will spawn much more frequently, but only treasure goblin and dark wanderer events will spawn
Akara will sell Respec Tokens
Larzuk will sell Larzuk's Puzzleboxes
Anya will sell DClone/Rathma portal items (Vision of Terror, Voidstone)
Diablo Clone and Rathma have had their resistances, health, and damage reduced
This league will temporarily replace S4 on the live realm - S4 will resume afterward with restored S4 characters. Before S5 begins, S4 characters will be transferred to non-ladder. Race league characters will not be transferred to non-ladder.

New map events
新T图事件
Gheed appears and sells 5 random uniques for 1 million gold each (can be affected by "reduced vendor prices", any unique can appear and the chance for each unique is customized independently of normal gambling chances - currently, each base is weighted by the number of uniques it has, and then if a base has multiple possible uniques, normal weighting applies)
A special altar will appear that will have some kind of in-map quest (currently a work-in-progress) and reward a new item which can be cubed with map items to give them "map contains a random event"
All trading should be centralized on the tradesite now that it's working well - discord trading channels will be disabled and the old tradesite will be taken down
Additional info will be shown on the advanced character/mercenary screens:
高级人物/雇佣兵属性界面显示额外信息
Attack speed IAS breakpoints (and frames)
IAS 挡位(及帧数)
life/mana per kill
杀敌回血/杀敌回法 LEK/EK
Sacrifice now triggers corpse explosion (damage is half phys, half magic) after killing a target and converts/applies "overkill" damage to the corpse explosion (overkill damage is any damage done which exceeds the target's remaining life)
Diablo-Clone and Rathma will now have multiple difficulty levels and be more accessible:
克隆超级大菠萝和拉斯玛现在有多级难度且更易挑战:
The default difficulty (level 0) will be lower, but the exclusive unique equipment items won't drop (Annihilus & Tainted Worldstone Shard will still drop)
Cubing a high rune with Vision of Terror (for Diablo-Clone) or Voidstone (for Rathma) will modify the difficulty level, with each level increasing the chance for the exclusive unique equipment items to drop
New passive Barbarian skill "Deep Wounds" which increases the chance of inflicting open wounds and adds additional damage to open wounds, currently has Grim Ward as a synergy
Many items that have a chance of inflicting open wounds will have a new stat which adds additional damage to open wounds (reminder: enemies inflicted with open wounds take physical damage over 8 seconds)
The current "curse duration reduction" stat (only reduces the duration of enemy curses) will now cap at 75% instead of 100%
The base duration of monster curses will be reduced
Mind Blast changed from dealing pure physical damage to dealing a mix of physical and magic damage (currently seems to be about 30% magic and 70% physical)
Tiger Strike changed back to a 1-handed attack instead of requiring dual-wielding
Spirit of Barbs now has a synergy (Carrion Vine) for anyone who wants to invest more into thorns damage
Uber difficulty levels based on high runes (described in previous stream) are still being balanced, but have been adjusted to make difficulty level 1 (Vex) match the previous season's difficulty rather than difficulty level 4 (Sur) as was initially planned
Fury, Fend, and Zeal will now gain melee splash radius for different attacks per 3-hit sequence
Attack 2: +20% melee splash radius
Attack 3: +40% melee splash radius
Feral Rage will no longer add melee splash radius (since Fury does instead)
New unique maps (both made by Aerlynn)
can drop rarely or be gained via corruptions (map corruptions will sometimes tranform the map into a unique)
2 unique maps this season - both will be T3 maps and have one or more unique modifiers (in future seasons, additional unique maps will also be made at T1 and T2 levels)
Zhar's Sanctum
has 2 charm-themed modifiers: Map boss drops skill charms, Monsters have +[2-5]% chance of dropping additional charms
contains 3 portals that lead to smaller miniature map zones (Hidden Waterways, Colonnades of Madness, Counselor's Causeway) where each zone will have a portal at the end, and a random one will lead to the boss: Zhar, the Mad
Stygian Caverns uses an entirely new tileset reminiscient of the caves from Diablo I and has a second zone within it (Stronghold of Acheron) with the boss: Warlord of Blood
Affix changes (for magic/rare/crafted items)
Many weaker affixes won't appear on higher level items
New affixes for "chance to cast X on cast" on staves and "chance to cast X on striking" on some melee weapons, other "chance to cast" effects will also be reviewed and adjusted as needed
