Diablo 3 - Patch 1.0.4 changes

  As we all know Blizzard Entertainment plans to release Patch 1.04 for Diablo 3 in the near future.  There is no set release date yet but they have said it will be a few weeks.  So far they have said they will be making changes to the difficulty of elites, legendary items, and the co-op system, among other things.

  There aren't many details yet on the updates for legendary items.  The update will aimed at improving legendary items crafted or found after patch 1.04 goes live.  Existing items will not be changed.  Hopefully more updates will be coming soon.

  Elite groups of monsters are getting a few changes.  First thing is enrage timers are being removed so for all you ranged kiters you shouldn't have to worry about how fast you are killing elites specifically for the more difficult ones.  Blizzard is also trying to reduce the gap in difficulty between normal and elite monsters.  Normal monsters health will be raised 5-10% and elites monsters health is being reduced by 10-25% as well as making certain elite affixes unable to occur together, such as fire chains and shielding.  They are also taking out the invulnerable minion affix entirely.  As part of raising the normal monster health they are increasing the magic/rare item drop by a factor of 4.

  In co-op right now the more players there are the greater the monster health is increased in inferno by 110% per player.  After patch 1.04 goes live the increase will be 75% per player regardless of difficulty.  They are also getting rid of the magic find and gold find averaging between players, saying that the current situation is doing more harm than good.  They want to get more people playing co-op without feeling like it is more punishing than playing solo.  

  Most of these changes are setup because they want to increase players farming efficiency.  This information on Patch 1.04 has been gotten from and for greater deatils can be found at Official Forum/.
