Patch 1.3.1 is scheduled to go live on Thursday, February 1st, with lots more changes, including buffs to nearly all of the Seneschal damage and support effects, as well as a couple of pages worth of bug fixes. Complete details below.
GAME UPDATES
The amount of health a monster with the Vampiric affix can heal for has been reduced.
- World Tier I: 10% → 5%
- World Tier II: 20% → 10%
- World Tier III: 35% → 15%
- World Tier IV: 50% → 25%
Developer’s Note: In a future patch, we’ll make an additional improvement to the Vampiric affix. Projectile attacks from monsters—like a Khazra’s thrown spear—will gain a visual effect when they are imbued with the Vampiric affix. This will make it easier to identify which projectiles can heal the monster.
- The Suppressor affix has been adjusted.
- The Suppressor Field no longer is always on. It now has a 6 second duration and 50–75% uptime.
- The field can be cancelled if the monster with the affix is Stunned, Frozen, Knocked Down, or Dazed.
- We’ve adjusted the layout and monster spawns for several Dungeons. Smaller adjustments have also been made.
- Nightmare Dungeon Sigils will now display the levels that monster will be for the Sigil’s Tier.
