Just as we reported yesterday, Diablo 3’s Crusader class has been given massive buffs in a new update to the game, which brings it up to version 2.0.4. In addition to the already listed changes, the Crusader class received a 15% passive bonus damage reduction from all sources and Blizzard clarified their philosophy under each of the class changes.
Beyond character class buffs, Resplendent Chests have also been given a boost so that they have a higher chance of dropping good items and are no longer disappointing.
Summoned pets, like the angel from the Skycutter sword and the demon from Maximus have also been given major upgrades so they can survive much longer in Torment difficulty, as intended. Some quests have also been changed to spawn additional monsters in Torment difficulty.
And finally, the chance for rare ingredient drops have been bumped up to be in line with Death’s Breath—no longer will you have to kill Malthael a hundred times to get him to drop Reaper’s Fear.
The list of changes is fairly extensive. You can check it out at the official battle.net blog here.
