1.1.1 Build #43794 (All Platforms) - August 8, 2023
Class Balance Updates
Hello wanderer, welcome to Patch 1.1.1! We’ve made quite a few balance adjustments to Classes. Our goals with this patch are as follows:
- We want to improve the effectiveness of Sorcerers and Barbarians while addressing the following for each Class:
- Sorcerer
Improve late-game survivability, mostly through Paragon Board improvements. - Adjust some Class mechanics to move away from “Kiss-Curse” effects—this is where the player gains power but loses power somewhere else.
- Barbarian
Speed up the flow of combat in the early game by increasing Fury generation on Basic Skills. - Add late-game excitement by increasing the power of Unique items.
- Strengthen builds that aren’t reaching a high power level.
- Diversify the use cases for Legendary items and other effects that are overly situational.

Gameplay Updates
Monster Density

Bosses at Level 60 and below remain unchanged. - Bosses at Level 80 have 50% increased health.
- Bosses at Level 100 have 100% increased health.

- Treasure Goblins now have an increased Legendary item drop chance from Level 6-14 and guarantee a Legendary item drop starting at Level 15.
- Legion Events are now more rewarding and guarantee a Legendary item drop starting at level 35.
General
- We have made multiple improvements on how damage and other effects interact with active barriers.
Bonus damage or bonus effects that are applied on-hit or when dealing damage will now apply that same effect through barriers.
Ex: The Уловка Glyph will now apply Vulnerable to enemies that have an active barrier.
Cheat death effects will now work properly when the player has an active barrier. This also affects PvP play.
Varshan will now break through any Bone Wall segments he dashes through.
The cost for refunding Skill and Paragon Points has been reduced. The reduction starts small at lower Levels and hits a maximum of 40% at Level 100.
- Ex: Level 50 - 12%, Level 60 - 18%, Level 70 - 24%, Level 80 - 30%.
We've increased the stack limit for Elixirs from 20 to 99.
An additional Stash Tab can now be purchased at the Stash with gold.
We have restored the cast time for Leave Dungeon back to 3 seconds.
Developer’s Note: Leave Dungeon ability was being used as another method of easy escape from danger in dungeons, particularly for Hardcore players. However, we recognize that this is outweighed by the downside of the game feeling less responsive. We’ve heard your feedback, and are reversing this change. Malignant Hearts

Omnipower Malignant Power wouldn't properly consume additional mana, which would then not trigger other interactions with additional resource consumption.
