Items

    • This change does not apply to quivers
  • High-end items (items level 61-63) will now drop in all Acts of Inferno and Acts III and IV of Hell difficulty
    • The new approximate drop rates are as follows:
      • Hell - Act III and Act IV
        • iLvl 61: 9%
        • iLvl 62: 1.9%
        • iLvl 63: 0%

  • Magic Find will no longer be considered when looting objects in the environment such as chests, barrels, vases, pots, and corpses
  • The item quality of all components needed to craft the Staff of Herding, as well as the Staff of Herding itself, have been changed from Common to Legendary (i.e. their item names will appear orange in color)
  • The Staff of Herding can no longer be salvaged or dropped
  • Crafted items that are dropped on the ground due to a player’s inventory being full can no longer be seen or picked up by other players
  • Unique monsters in Hell and Inferno difficulty are no longer guaranteed to drop two Magic items when slain
  • Weapon racks will no longer drop weapons 100% of the time
  • Destructible objects no longer have a chance to drop items, and will only have a small chance to drop gold when destroyed
• Weapons and Armor

  • Crowd Control Reduction from items and skills will now reduce the percentage value of Slow, Chill, and Attack Speed debuffs rather than reducing how long the debuff lasts
    • For example: previously, if you were debuffed by a 60% slow that lasted for 2 seconds while wearing gear that provides 20% Crowd Control Reduction, your movement speed would be reduced by 60%, but only for 1.6 seconds. Now, the same amount of Crowd Control Reduction will reduce the Slow effect to 48%, but the effect will remain for the full 2 second duration.

  • When comparing a two-handed weapon against two currently-equipped one-handed weapons, the game will now simulate the removal of both one-handed weapons (instead of simply removing the main-hand weapon, which resulted in an inaccurate comparison)
  • When selling items to a vendor, the most recently sold items will now always display at the bottom of the Buyback tab
• Bug Fixes
  • Items level 50 and above will now display their item level in the tooltip
  • Damage Over Time (DoT) skills will now properly benefit from items with the +Critical Chance affix
  • Legendary items with the +Attack Speed bonus will now correctly provide a bonus to attack speed
    • Please note that this fix will only affect new Legendary drops. Existing Legendary items will be addressed in a future patch.
  • Players wearing +Life on Kill items should no longer receive a benefit from this affix when "killing" friendly monsters (e.g. when a witch doctor re-summons a Spider Queen while another Spider Queen is still active)
  • Fixed a bug with linking items with socketed gems in chat
  • Fixed a bug where vendors would occasionally not have any items for sale
  • Fixed a bug where selling more than 12 items to a vendor and then buying back 1 of those items could cause multiple items to disappear from the Buyback tab
  • Fixed a bug where swapping a 1-slot item (i.e. a ring) with 2-slot item (i.e. a weapon) in the second or third tab of a player’s stash would sometimes cause the 2-slot item to be filtered incorrectly to the first tab
