Fans have been eagerly awaiting the Diablo 3 Patch 2.2.0 for some time as it has been in PTR for a few weeks as we reported. Now the full Diablo 3 Patch 2.2.0 is available for public consumption but it seems that Blizzard made a few last-minute changes to the patch.
One major change that is apparent is that the game no longer features health potions, you will instead use a ‘Bottomless Health Potion’ that will refill your life for 60% health. It is pretty cool and all in all streamlined but some players may have enjoyed picking them up and having the tension of running out of health potions but now that will no longer exist as it just lasts forever in a sense. Below is a list of changes that the Diablo 3 Patch 2.2.0 adds to the game as found on the Diablo 3 blog. Check it out.
Highlights
- Three new Treasure Goblins have made their way into the realm of Sanctuary. Riches await for those who can catch them!
- When crafting gems and items, the entire quantity will now be crafted at once
- You can now increase your Blood Shard cap by achieving a personal best in Solo Greater Rifts
- Two new Legendary potions, two new Legendary gems, and dozens of new and revamped Legendary powers have been added
- Several sets across all six classes have received significant improvements and new Barbarian, Demon Hunter, and Wizard sets have been added to the game
