Apparently the PTR is downloadable, aside from the changes mentioned in the preview, here are a few undocumented ones:

  • Carnevil
    The 5 10 Fetishes closest to you will shoot a powerful Poison Dart every time you do.
  • Reaper's Wraps
    Health globes restore 25-30% 100% of your primary resource.
  • Tasker and Theo
    Drop weight increased from 75 to 100
  • The Shadow’s Mantle
    (6) Impale deals an additional 75000% 60000% weapon damage to the first enemy hit.

    Looks like it may be some changes that were missed in being tracked when we were generating patch notes.

    FYI - my first step when I see undocumented changes is always to reach out and verify what's actually implemented, whether something was accidental or intentional, or just missed. I'm in that process now, so it may take me a while to clear up what's what as I track things down.

    Feel free to let me know if you notice something else!

    Something noticeable: the filter in the stash is awesome, but the fact that it's automatically focused when I open the stash is problematic: no shortcut works except "escape"! So it's not possible to teleport away, I have to press "escape" before… annoying.

    Thanks for the feedback, I'll pass it on!

    One thing i wanted to ask for quite some while but never found an answer for is why does oculus ring not proc from when a minion (Skeletal Mages etc.) kills an enemy while the oculus ring is on a follower but if you have an oculus ring on another player (even if he just stands around afk and doesnt interact with the enemies at all) it does proc when one of your minions does kill an enemy. This seems so weird to me and i just wanted to know what exactly causes such an inconsistent interaction but sadly i never found an answer to that.

    Honestly, that sounds like a bug. But I'd need to kick it over to QA for full investigation to give you a concrete answer.

    ahm.. may I ask, are there plans for elemental arrow and rain of vengeance? thank you

    I don't have any specific plans to share at this moment. We're focused just on the changes for 2.6.5 at this time.

    EDIT: Most of these changes were unintentional and the result of internal testing;

    So the impale changes are not intended?

    Correct!

    Thanks for the update! Do you happen to know if there are any other legendaries you guys are planning to buff to coincide with the LoN season? By my count it looks like only 4 of the classes are having items buffed at the moment.

    Nothing to share just yet beyond Patch 2.6.5. We're focused on getting this patch out right now, but we'll share more when it's appropriate in the future.
