Line 1:
=== General Balancing ===
* Drop rates improved for low-player-count games - nodrop chance when solo is [[Game_Mechanics#What's_different_in_PD2?|similar to vanilla's /players5]] but still scales up to a similar level with full games
*
* Nightmare bosses now drop essences used for Token of Absolution
* Uber Keys are now also dropped by Blood Raven, Bloodwitch, and Izual
Line 8:
* The 3 red portal areas in Act 5 (Abaddon, Pit of Acheron, Infernal Pit) have had their density increased by 40-50%, and Mausoleum & Crypt have had their density increased by 9%
* The Maggot Lair and Arcane Sanctuary in Act 2 have wider pathways
* Lower Kurast no longer has super chests due to their mismatched risk/reward
* Monsters that die from Chaos Sanctuary seals rather than being killed will no longer drop loot
* Running no longer hinders block chance or defense
Line 23:
* Crushing Blow no longer affects bosses, uniques, or champions when they are [[Game_Mechanics#Crushing_Blow|below 65% life]]
* Critical Strike and Deadly Strike rebalanced to improve itemization - they now each cap at [[Game_Mechanics#Critical_damage|75% instead of 100%]] and multiply damage by 1.5 instead of by 2
* Summons and sentries (traps, hydras) are now affected by +% to Elemental Skill Damage
* Summons (except Fire Golem) are now affected by -% to Enemy Elemental Resistance (half effectiveness)
* Abilities that reduce monster resistances have been rebalanced and now operate at 1/2 effectiveness when [[Game_Mechanics#Behavior_of_-enemy_resists|above 99% or below 0%]] (used to be 1/5 when above 99%)
