Sentinels of Purity now deal approximately 15% more Damage at all levels. Sentinels' Crusade Slam skill now has a 5 second cooldown (previously 6 seconds) and 100% more Area of Effect (previously 80%).
3.16.0	Sentinels of Purity summoned with Herald of Purity now have 40% less Life. Because of base Ignite damage changes, Ignite with the skill is now 50.0% higher when using the Death Wish skill from the Maw of Mischief Unique Helmet.
3.11.0	No longer grants added Physical Damage with Spells and Attacks. Now grants 9% more Physical Damage at gem level 1, up to 12% more Physical Damage at gem level 20.
