* Increased the radius of "Strength in Numbers" (multiplayer buff) from 100 to 200 yards
* [[Gold Find]] on items will now stack multiplicatively with the Gold Find bonus provided from game difficulty
:* This significantly increases the gold reward most players will see when playing on higher difficulty levels or wearing Gold Find gear.
:* Example: Suppose you are playing on Master (+200% Gold Find) and have 50% Gold Find awarded from items. A pile of gold drops that would normally be 50 gold. Your Difficulty bonus increases the 50 gold to 150 gold. Your 50% Gold Find will now increase the 150 gold to 225 gold.
[[Frenzy]]
:*Skill Rune - [[Sidearm]]::*Damage type changed from Physical to Cold

We've increased the 15% damage reduction to 30% to match that of the Monk and Barbarian. In addition we are removing the movement speed penalty on [[Heavenly Strength ]] while also changing [[Fervor ]] to be a very strong passive for Crusaders who want to play with a 1-handed weapon. Together these changes should solidify the Crusader fantasy of a powerful tank wielding a giant shield.*** To better support character builds based on a specific damage type we are changing the damage type of a few select runes. This is an ongoing goal - additional changes may be made in the future to any of our classes to make damage types an interesting consideration for character building.*** [[Akarat's Champion ]] has been redesigned. Many of the runes were lackluster while Rally was both too strong but also promoted a style of play that consisted primarily of mashing buttons mindlessly. We've redesigned Rally and buffed the skill and all the other runes.*** Overall builds that used certain skills such as Judgment - Resolved could do solid damage (though somewhat inconsistent), but if you did not take specific skills or have access to specific Legendary items the damage would fall behind. We are nerfing [[Judgment ]] - Resolved significantly. A change this large is never easy but this was a mistake we should have caught.*** To keep Crusader damage competitive we are buffing most of the Crusader's damage abilities across the board. While a few skills have come down slightly in damage, the vast majority are being increased, some by a large margin.*** [[Fist of the Heavens ]] and [[Blessed Shield ]] both fill a similar role of being ranged multi target skills. In order to provide better differentiation we are adjusting Fist of the Heavens to be better at damaging a single target, with the area damage component being a peripheral bonus. To this end the damage of the primary strike of Fist of the Heavens has been increased, while the damage of the secondary bolts has been decreased.*** Finally, we have done significant redesign to the Crusader's passive abilities. We feel there was an overall lack of interesting passive choices on the Crusader. Rather than try to simply change numbers on existing passives we've tried to provide interesting and compelling choices.**** '''General''' *** Crusaders now take 30% less damage from all sources**** '''Active Skills'''  *** [[Akarat's Champion]]**** Has been redesigned:**** .
