Dead Finger Mages now reset correctly to their original state when revived by Necromancers.

Fixed an issue where casting delays could desync at very high ping.

Fixed an issue where monster unique mods were triggering from another unique mod's trigger. For example, monsters that were both lightning and fire enchanted created an explosion every time they were put into hit recovery (Ex: repeatedly hit by Warcry).

Fixed a rare issue where item names on the ground would erratically flicker and shift while pathing around them.

Fixed an issue where players and monsters were able to walk through doors that visually looked closed.

Fixed an issue where Iron Golems created in a previous game would disappear instead of teleporting to you.

Fixed an issue where performing a weapon swap during a trade would sometimes freeze the game.

Fixed an issue where Iron Golems created by a charged skill would not save between games.

Fixed an issue where players on console and controller would sometimes get the red-flash indicator for health loss while performing an inventory update.

Fixed an issue where the Horadric Cube could not be quick-dropped if there were items in it when playing on console or with a controller.

Fixed various issues when quick-moving a belt with items in the additional belt slots it provides while using a controller.

Fixed an issue where Quick Cast would sometimes restore the previous skill to the wrong mouse button.

Act V Dual-Wielding mercenaries now accurately animates two attack swings instead of one.

Fixed an issue where Fist of the Heavens could unintentionally be used when it was bound on controller or assigned to left click on M+KB.

Fixed an issue where pets summoned by "chance to cast" skills on items would disappear after performing an inventory update.

Fixed an issue where Ravens summoned by charged skills would disappear after a few seconds.

Necromancer

Difficulty penalties for life drain now apply to the Blood Golem's attacks.

Fixed an issue where Blood Golem was not correctly stealing life from a PvP opponent.

Added functionality to revoke and undo friend rejection so it’s no longer a permanent rejection.

Comment by dabone1337Just imagine what WC3:R could have been if such passioned developers would have worked on it ...Comment by Devil64O man, I'm gonna love the fact that people are actually gonna have to try and defend the resistance gap from the charms now lol.
I tested some builds on Max-roll. It is already tough to cap out the resistances without perfect gear while maintaining your damage output too and -Resistance needed after sundering the immunities if you still need to after conviction Aura.Comment by EasoJust imagine what WC3:R could have been if such passioned developers would have worked on it ...Comment by KajakirJust imagine what WC3:R could have been if such passioned developers would have worked on it ...Comment by dlbert2000if people thought everyone went sorc before...this patch is going to be 10x worse
