0.2.0b Patch Notes Summary

Various Monster Life Nerfs
All non-unique monsters in the campaign have had their Life, Crowd Control thresholds, and Ailment thresholds reduced by approximately 25%. Additionally, these monsters can no longer roll the Life Regeneration modifier. These adjustments are aimed at smoothing out the leveling experience and do not affect endgame monsters.
On top of this, Rogue Exiles have received a 40% Life reduction across all stages of the game, making them significantly easier to handle throughout the campaign.
Tempest Bell Combo Nerf Reverted
The combo requirement to use Tempest Bell has been reverted back to 4 after it was changed to 10 in a previous update. This allows you to use Tempest Bell sooner, but other recent changes will remain intact.
Grenade Nerfs Dialed Down
The cooldowns for both Explosive Grenade and Voltaic Grenade received nerfs with the release of patch 0.2.0. Lowering the cooldowns to 5 seconds at this point may seem like a buff, but it is still an overall nerf compared to the state of Grenades in version 0.1.1.
Curse Skills AoE Increased to Compensate for Increased Delay
After patch 0.2.0b, Curse Skill Gems will have higher growth of radius per level. This is in response to the nerfs Curses received in patch 0.2.0 that resulted in reduced effectiveness and increased activation time.
