Items
General

Attack, Defense, and Precision random affixes have been replaced with Dexterity, Strength, and Intellect
The base damage on slower weapons has been increased. This is because we’re also increasing the potency of elemental damage properties, and elemental damage benefits faster weapons more than slower weapons.
The drop rate of Magic items between level 1 and level 20 has been lowered. Single affix-Magic items are now introduced more slowly, and double affix-Magic items won’t appear until later in the game.


Vendors

Wandering Merchants now have a 50% chance to sell a limited stock Rare item of any type
Amulets have been moved from the Collector to the Fence


Monsters

Electrified monsters no longer spew lightning on death
Arcane Enchanted monsters no longer cast an extra arcane beam on death
Bug Fixes

Players should no longer be disconnected from Battle.net when moving a stack of 0 items to their Skill action bar
Rapidly moving around items in a character’s inventory should no longer cause those items to become unresponsive
Items that display full durability, but are still considered slightly damaged should now be able to be posted on the Auction House
Monsters that are killed should now always properly play their death animation rather than remain standing

Jeg har også lige siddet og kigget det igennem imens jeg downloadede patchen og vi kan roligt blive enige om at det er mange ting der er ændret.

Ja de har vel i bund og grund nået alt det som de ville ændre, så det er vel begrænset hvor meget de kan trække release på det grundlag.

Det kan vi da håbe på
