There isn't any local multiplayer or split-screen play on Diablo 2: Resurrected

Somehow, Blizzard has changed Plague's stats a bit. Plague's order is now Cham + Shael + Um. That's with a substantial cost, but also a new use for the seldom used Cham rune d2r items for sale. The Plague that's been updated Plague seems to be an experimental build that has one specific application. Everybody is trying to figure out why you should play Plague over something similar to Hoto, or as an even powerful melee weapon like the Breath or Grief of the Dying.

One of the biggest changes is that Plague now makes use of socketed 3 swords instead of general weapons. A further change is the -1 bonus in All Skills, and the reduction of +strength since Fal is no more used. A boost in damage has been added that is a massive benefit for raw damage. Other stats are the same.

Plague was a bit strange at beginningbut had its use, possibly for casters. YouTuber Drunski125 suggests that Plague's use being limited to swords only is an error. "If you could have it in scepters, you could imagine a 3 Fist of the Heaven scepter that you roll Plague into, and gives the player a cleansing aura, as well as an additional skill point, which is an incentive to go with something other than Hoto.

For instance, if you're given an extra 3 light sentry points or +3 Death Sentry claw. you can roll Plague and gain +4 traps, cleansing aura. This is yet another reason to use something other than Hoto buy D2R ladder items. "Blizzard is yet to announce the date Diablo 2 Resurrect's v2.4 is being released.
