Patch 2.1.2 went live for Reaper of Souls in early 2015, after a month of testing on the PTR. This patch brought numerous content changes, including the introduction of Legendary Ancient Items, rebalanced Greater Rifts with higher density and improved maps, tweaks to several item set bonuses and numerous skills/runes, and much more.

Demon Hunter[edit | edit source]

  • Embodiment of the Marauder
    • Philosophy note: These changes are intended to shift a large portion of the damage from the Sentries to the Demon Hunter in order to promote more active gameplay. These changes should be a slight net increase in power once you become accustomed to the new playstyle.
