Those who have been knee deep in Diablo 3 since the arrival of Reaper Of Souls will be able to tell you that it is a fun ride, especially with Adventure Mode. However, if you have a strength based Monk or really specialize in your new-found Crusader you might want to take a look at the most recent patch list.
This week’s patch is a fairly hefty one, almost every character got some new runes for their skills or got reworked in ways that some fans were upset. It was all for the sake of Blizzard trying to balance the characters out. Some general tweaks such as the 300% Gold Find cap has been removed. Check out some general fixes below and the full list on the Official page.
GENERAL
-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 frequencyADVENTURE MODE
Horadric Caches
-Now have an increased chance to drop Legendary items on Torment II – VI
Bounty Rewards
-Lowered rewards for Hell Rift Bounties in Act IV

-Bug Fix: Fixed an issue causing Kadala to sometimes give common quality Crusader Shields

-Increased the number of Blood Shards that can drop from Horadric Caches
-The number of Blood Shards dropped by Rift Guardians on Torment II – VI now increases with each level of difficulty
