Patch notes

These are the official patch notes for version 3.16.0b released by Grinding Gear Games.

This patch contains some improvements to the Scourge League, tweaks to the damage dealt by some monsters, and fixes a variety of small- and medium-importance bugs.

Scourge Improvements

• Upon encountering a Boss in Nightmare, the drain of blood from the Crucible is now paused for 5 seconds.
• The Tainted Mythic Orb can now unpredictably upgrade Corrupted items to Unique items even if their item level is lower than when it would normally be able to drop. Prior to this change, the orb would fail to apply to the item if there were no valid Unique items to upgrade to.
• The damage of Ravenous Bloodshaper's Blood Orb and Spike Barrage skills has been decreased.
• The damage of Demon Herder's Vomit and Beam skill has been decreased.
• Reduced the number of Monsters with Proximity Shield that can spawn in some Scourge encounters.
• The Corruption Absorbed progress bar now displays underneath items stored in the Blood Crucible, without you having to hover over them.

Other Improvements

• The damage of Baranite Thaumaturge's ground explosions has been decreased. This change does not affect Baranite Thaumaturge Spectres.
