Diablo 3 and its expansion pack, Reaper of Souls are being patched today to version 2.0.5, which sees a host of changes and upgrades to the existing game.
Notably, a large number of abilities have been given changes to their elemental damage as to allow much wider build diversity for player characters. Each of these modified abilities has new graphics to go along with the changes. The game's biggest changes affect the Crusader class, which is much more versatile now that his or her abilities have been modified to encompass a wider range of elemental types.
In addition to these changes, Blizzard has added support for buffs that may come into play through shrines or through community events.
