Patch notes

These are the official patch notes for version 3.0.1 released by Grinding Gear Games.

3.0.1 Patch Notes

• Added the Portent and Harbinger supporter packs.
• has been corrected to have its intended scaling. It now scales up by +1% base damage each level, starting at 90% of base damage.
• The Ravaged Square now has fewer Heretical Wards.

Harbinger Improvements

• Harbingers now drop fewer stacks of currency shards, but these shards have reliably higher stack counts. This results in a higher total number of currency shards than before.
• Harbingers now appear more frequently in Map areas.
• More powerful Harbingers now appear more frequently. The volume of shards they drop has been increased, and they are also better dressed.
• You now need to complete 50 Harbinger End-game maps to complete the "End Game Grind" challenge (down from 100).
• Minions spawned by Harbingers were granted a resistance to all damage types that decayed over time. This is now multiplicative with other forms of damage taken. This change means they that can't be trivialised by , Shock and other modifiers to damage taken.
• Harbingers are now less likely to enter a state where they don't summon new monsters.
• The Harbinger ability now Flame Dashes its minions to your location.
• The Harbinger -like ability now attaches to the minions, moving with them.
• The Harbinger ability is now stronger but used less often.
• The Harbinger Storm Cascade ability no longer stops at the Harbinger's minion's location. Instead, it will pass through, making it much more deadly for characters at a distance.
• Added several new abilities for the Harbingers to use. Be careful!
• The Harbingers from Act 6 onwards now have a chance to spawn an Obelisk when they summon monsters. These obelisks have a variety of skills.

The Beachhead Improvements

• The Beachhead map now has a wider variety of monsters.
• Monsters slain as part of the Beachhead portal encounter now don't drop items, but still award experience.
• Upon completing The Beachhead portal encounter, the Obelisks now will shatter and drop shards.
• Completing the encounter awards significantly more items.
• The encounter itself has been rebalanced, and players now have to defeat an especially powerful Harbinger as part of it.

• Fixed a bug where socketing in would prevent Storm Cascade from being cast.
• Harbingers and The Beachhead map boss can no longer be possessed by a Tormented Spirit from the Prophecy. This made the map impossible to complete.
