The update is out now on all platforms.Diablo 3’s 2.6.8 update is now available and players can dive into the patch notes to see what’s new. For instance, the Barbarian's Might of the Earth six-piece bonus now increases the damage of certain skills by 5600%, up from 1200%.īlizzard offers a full rundown on what's new and different in the patch notes here. The list of changes are far too many to count, but in many cases, Set bonuses have been dramatically increased. 'Many' of Diablo III's Legendary and Set items are now more likely to drop, although Blizzard didn't specify which ones. Additionally, Fueled by Death's speed boost can now exceed the 25% cap, and Bone Armor can be cast on the move (and doesn't cost Essence). The minions raised by Command Skeletons now break crowd-control effects when you command them, and they won't die after taking too many hits. Unsurprisingly, as the game's newest class, Necromancer sees more changes than any other class. With this new patch, its description reads, 'Increase the damage of Blessed Hammer to 640% weapon damage as Holy and increase its area of effect by 20 yards.' Previously, each hammer spawned had a chance to create an additional hammer. Meanwhile, the Crusader's Limitless rune for the Blessed Hammer has also been changed completely, again because of performance concerns. After the change, its description is as follows: 'Deal damage equal to 20% of your recent critical hits to enemies within 20 yards every 1 second.' Blizzard said this was done at least in part due to performance issues with the way it worked before (where critical hits caused blood explosions).
