November 22 Update To Patch 2.4.3 PTR

by - 7 years ago

Similar to last week, another suite of changes have recently gone up on the PTR (Patch Test Realm) for Patch 2.4.3. It looks like many of the known issues and bugs were addressed with this latest pass, but overall, the biggest changes seemed to be reserved for the new Legendary gem, the Red Soulstone Shard. It received several pushes in the positive direction to potentially make it more useful, but it doesn’t seem like it will end up being effective beyond leveling a character from 1-70. Proceed below for the full details:
