Overpower is getting a facelift in patch 1.2.0! Blizzard has agreed with the community that Overpower wasn't very, well, overpowered. As a result, in
last week's Campfire Chat livestream
Class Designers Adam Jackson and Charles Dunn broke down the planned changes and their design intentions.
Diablo 4 Season 2 Campfire Chat Liveblog Summary
We try to break down this monumental change, the core issues that caused it, Blizzard's intentions, and the reasons why redesigning Overpower will be good for Diablo 4 in the long run.
Overpower basics in Diablo 4
What Was Wrong with Overpower Before?
Overpower as it was designed on launch scaled with your base Damage, Health, Fortified Health, Stat Bonuses and was then multiplied by your Overpower bonus. Then, it was an additive value to the total from the damage bucket system (Weapon Damage, Skill Damage Percentage, Critical Strike Damage, Vulnerable Damage, Multiplicative Damage, Additive Damage, Primary Stat all multiplied together) - meaning it was a fairly convoluted calculation.
This yielded some lackluster damage output when compared to Crtiical Strike & Vulnerable builds. If you wanted to run an Overpower build, Critical Strikes and Vulnerable damage were not directly scaling your overpower damage. Even though you can get the orange text showing a Critical Strike added to your Overpower, this was not a Critical Strike
multiplied
Overpower hit - they just added together in the end.
As you can see here, we have an Overpower hit for ~600 damage and a Critical Strike Overpower hit for 744. This means that your critical strike would hit for ~144 and the overpower for ~600. If these values were to multiply together instead, that number would look more like 900-1000.
What Will Change with Patch 1.2.0?
Simply put, everything. Overpower is now a damage bucket like Critical Strike Damage and Vulnerable. All three are now capped at the following: Overpower 50%, Critical Strike Damage 50%, Vulnerable 20%. Any stats in excess of these values are added to the additive damage bucket.
Overpower:
Overpower attacks now always deal up to x50% increased damage, based on your current life percentage.
Overpower attacks gain +2% damage per 1% of your Base Life you have in Fortify.
Overpower attacks gain +2% damage per 1% of your Base Life that you have in bonus life above your Base Life.
All Overpower Damage Affixes have increased by 50%.
Overpower Damage Paragon Glyphs have increased by 33%.
Overpower Damage Paragon Nodes have increased by 50%.
So this begs the question - "How does this fix Overpower?". Simply, Overpower is a directly 1.5x damage multiplier on your output, and the excess value is dumped into the additive damage bucket. However, they did change some items around fortify life that will work in Overpower's favor.
Fortified Health Changes
In Patch 1.2.0, Blizzard will change how Fortify works, basing its value off of your additional max life and your base life. Effectively, they doubled the amount of fortified life you will have. This is really useful for Overpower as it has two more mechanics added to it.
Overpower attacks gain +2% damage per 1% of your Base Life you have in Fortify.
Overpower attacks gain +2% damage per 1% of your Base Life that you have in bonus life above your Base Life.
These values effectively gain a significant passive damage bonus for stacking health on items. Generally speaking, at level 100 you can expect to have nearly 8,000 base life, and on most Overpower builds over 20,000 maximum life. This would gain nearly 1000% additive damage to your Overpower attacks by itself - making your health pool into a monster of a weapon!

Overview of the Overpower Changes
Overall, Overpower is the new kid on the S tier block - especially for builds that can leverage the new damage bucket system to apply Critical Strikes, Vulnerable, AND Overpower just for their base value multipliers.
