Patch 2.0.5 Datamined Patch Notes

by JR Cook - 10 years ago     show comments

The guys and gals over at Diablo Fans have produced some datamined patchnotes for the upcoming 2.0.5 patch for Diablo III. The patch includes a wealth of changes to the Crusader class, along with other class changes and some details on upcoming Community Events. While it’s unconfirmed, it seems fair to assume that the Community Event buffs will not be activated until Thursday the 15th, the day marking the second anniversary of Diablo III.

The theme of the buffs seems to be ‘more, more, more’, which is just great for us as players.

[Datamined] Patch 2.0.5. Class Changes and Strings 

UPDATE: Videos of visually changed spells will be posted tomorrow after the servers come up!

The new Community Events include, but are not limited to:

• More Legendaries – 1 guaranteed in the first hour!
• More Goblins – Anniversary buff makes them come in pairs!
• More Blood Shards
• More Keystones
• More Gold Find

More at the strings section below.

Here are the class changes in the files. Remember that this is datamining and you should take all these with a spoon of salt.
