Patch 2.0.5 Now Live
Diablo III Patch 2.0.5 - v2.0.5.23920
Increased the radius of "Strength in Numbers"
(multiplayer buff) from 100 to 200 yards
Gold Find on items will now stack multiplicatively with the
Gold Find bonus provided from game difficulty
This significantly increases the gold reward most players
will see when playing on higher difficulty levels or wearing Gold Find gear.
Example: Suppose you are playing on Master (+200% Gold Find)
and have 50% Gold Find awarded from items. A pile of gold drops that would
normally be 50 gold. Your Difficulty bonus increases the 50 gold to 150 gold.
Your 50% Gold Find will now increase the 150 gold to 225 gold.
The 300% Gold Find cap applied to items and Paragon Points
has been removed
The Vote Kick system has received several changes to make it
less restrictive:
Vote Kicking is now available after you have been in a game
for 2 minutes (down from 5 minutes)
Killing a champion or rare pack no longer disables vote
kicking for 15 seconds
After a boss kill, vote kicking is disabled for 15 seconds
(down from 3 minutes)
Some additional restrictions were also relaxed
Known Issue: The tooltip will not reflect these changes
Tyrael will now chat about his poor eating habits with less
frequency
Philosophy
To better support character builds based on a specific
damage type we are changing the damage type of a few select runes. This is an
ongoing goal - additional changes may be made in the future to any of our
classes to make damage types an interesting consideration for character
building.
Rend is being changed to make the damage more consistent.
The difference between getting a Critical Hit or not on Rend made the ability
too unpredictable. This is particularly important when the player has the
option of reapplying the Damage over Time effect.
Finally, we are buffing the least used Fury spender -
Seismic Slam. While there will always be a least used skill, we feel the
aesthetic of Seismic Slam is very strong, and we would love for more people to
enjoy using it. To this end we are making the skill mechanically easier to use
as well as directly buffing the damage.
Active Skills
Skill Rune - Sidearm
Damage type changed from Physical to Cold
Skill Rune - Crushing Advance
Damage type changed from Physical to Cold
Rather than rolling for a Critical Hit, Rend will now
calculate an average damage augmented by your Critical Hit Chance and Critical
Hit Damage on application and apply that damage evenly over the duration of the
entire DoT
Note: Since the skill can no longer deal a Critical Hit, it
will no longer trigger effects that occur on Critical Hit.
Skill Rune - Best Served Cold

Now also hits enemies in a 10 yard wide, 10 yard long area
in front of you in addition to the existing cone

The damage reduction provided will now be reflected in your
Toughness
Philosophy
Crusaders should be the toughest class in the game and
currently they are not. We've increased the 15% damage reduction to 30% to
match that of the Monk and Barbarian. In addition we are removing the movement
speed penalty on Heavenly Strength while also changing Fervor to be a very
strong passive for Crusaders who want to play with a 1-handed weapon. Together
these changes should solidify the Crusader fantasy of a powerful tank wielding
a giant shield.
To better support character builds based on a specific
damage type we are changing the damage type of a few select runes. This is an
ongoing goal - additional changes may be made in the future to any of our
classes to make damage types an interesting consideration for character
building.
Akarat's Champion has been redesigned. Many of the runes
were lackluster while Rally was both too strong but also promoted a style of
play that consisted primarily of mashing buttons mindlessly. We've redesigned
Rally and buffed the skill and all the other runes.
Overall builds that used certain skills such as Judgment -
Resolved could do solid damage (though somewhat inconsistent), but if you did
not take specific skills or have access to specific Legendary items the damage
would fall behind. We are nerfing Judgment - Resolved significantly. A change
this large is never easy but this was a mistake we should have caught.
To keep Crusader damage competitive we are buffing most of
the Crusader's damage abilities across the board. While a few skills have come
down slightly in damage, the vast majority are being increased, some by a large
margin.
Fist of the Heavens and Blessed Shield both fill a similar
role of being ranged multi target skills. In order to provide better differentiation
we are adjusting Fist of the Heavens to be better at damaging a single target,
with the area damage component being a peripheral bonus. To this end the damage
of the primary strike of Fist of the Heavens has been increased, while the
damage of the secondary bolts has been decreased.
Finally, we have done significant redesign to the Crusader's
passive abilities. We feel there was an overall lack of interesting passive
choices on the Crusader. Rather than try to simply change numbers on existing
passives we've tried to provide interesting and compelling choices.

Philosophy
Demon Hunter survivability is lower than we would like.
While the Demon Hunter is not as tough as other classes, this can be
frustrating when taken to an extreme. The change to the Awareness passive is a
first step; we will be keeping an eye on this and making additional changes as
needed in the future. The Marauder's Set bonuses are attractive, but often the
pets would get in each other's way or Sentries would not use your spenders
often enough. To help improve this set's functionality, Companions have received
collision box revisions and the rate at which Sentries use your Hatred spenders
has been increased.
Active Skills
Companions's collision boxes should now more closely match
their actual size, and allow them to more effectively surround enemies
Will now more reliably explode when an enemy is near the
thrown grenade
Explosion radius increased from 5 to 6 yards
Collision radius of the projectile has been significantly
increased
Will now explode closer to your click location if it did not
explode before reaching it
Max range increased from 45 to 75 yards
Skill Rune - Devouring Arrow

Has been redesigned: Armor is now increased by 30% of your
Dexterity

We are changing the way Fetish Sycophants works. Previously
it triggered while casting. This caused it to create twice as many fetishes
with certain skills such as Firebats (which trigger on-cast effects at double
the normal rate), and also create fetishes even when there was no target
available. We want to preserve the existing Fetish builds while allow Fetish
Sycophants to be combined with all skills in the Witchdoctor arsenal. Fetish
Sycophants now works with all skills and triggers on hit rather than on cast.
While this means you can no longer get fetishes by simply casting at nothing,
you will now get more fetishes if casting against large groups of enemies. In
the case of spells other than Firebats, you will generally get more Fetishes
than before. In the case of Firebats, you will get less Fetishes than before
versus 1-3 targets, and more fetishes than before when facing groups of 5 or
more.
Haunt and Locust Swarm are being changed to make the damage
more consistent. The difference between getting a Critical Hit or not made
these abilities too unpredictable. This is particularly important when the
player has the option of reapplying the Damage over Time effect.
The Witchdoctor sometimes had trouble keeping up in a party
situation. At the same time, we feel each class should feel unique. To this end
we are redesigning Fierce Loyalty to improve the Witchdoctor's mobility in a
uniquely Witchdoctor way.

Wormhole is by far the most common rune choice on Teleport.
While we like the functionality and frequency with which it allows you to cast
Teleport, we do not like the frustration it sometimes produces: players are
often left clicking wildly, feeling punished for misclicks, or increased
frustration if you find yourself up against an obstacle that wastes your second
and third Teleport. To improve this experience we are reducing the cooldown on
Teleport to 11 seconds and changing Wormhole to only give one additional cast,
but increasing the window of time you have to use your second Teleport to 3
seconds. This affords the same number of Teleport casts overall as before while
allowing you to be more thoughtful and deliberate about how to use your second
Teleport. With the base cooldown on Teleport coming down to 11 seconds, all
runes should now be more appealing. While the effect on some runes has been
reduced, this should be more than made up for by the reduced cooldown in all cases.
