Diablo III v1.05 Patch Sneak Peek

For those of us who were curious about the exact additions and enhancements that Diablo III’s v1.05 patch will bring to the table, we’re unfortunately going to have to wait a little bit longer. But if you like teasing, there’s a new “sneak peek” feature that Blizzard Entertainment cranked out on the game’s official blog earlier today. Hopefully we’ll have more details to share soon:

Defensive Skill Changes
In our eternal quest to promote build diversity; we’ll be making changes to defensive skills across the board while simultaneously reducing incoming damage. The net result is a survivability buff for players, and an increase in build options as defensive abilities become less (mandatory.)

New Event: Infernal Machine
The Infernal Machine is a device that will allow level-60 players to battle (uber) versions of some of Sanctuary’s most nefarious bosses. While the rewards for defeating these bosses will be great, some assembly is required.

New System: Monster Power
Similar to the (Players 8) command in Diablo II, the Monster Power system is designed to give players more control over how challenging enemies are in each difficulty.
