Bug Fixes
PTR Bug Fixes
Monsters
Damage reflected back from the Reflects Damage affix should now be capped at 10% of the monster’s current health pool (overkill damage is not considered in the reflect)
The Reflect Damage aura graphic is actually quite hard to see in-game. AFAIK they don't scale with the monster models (or my eyesight is really going).
...And did they really just buff Wave of Light again? Not the runes, but 45 to 96% damage as the aftereffect.
Why i can't download new patch on ptr? I always see small info about it.. after paste my password..wtf? Exit..play.. the same thing. Repair tool do nothing.

Have you already tried PTR for 1.07? If so, it should be an automatic update. If your PTR client is old (for the MP/ubers patch months ago), you have to delete it from your hard drive and redownload and reinstall the client.
im having the same issue when i log into the PTR...after i type in my password, it says a new patch is avaiable, download the new patch, and then i restart the PTR again to see if it'll download the new PTR patch, but i didnt see anything being downloaded
Still no idea what they're thinking with Demonic Essences given that all the crafting still takes a bunch of gold and mats. Hopefully they'll answer that question from the thread.

The main point of demonic essences is to prevent players to craft thousands of items the day the patch is released.
Why though? They'll get enough essence to craft all their gold away soon enough. And as soon as everyone has gotten caught up they'll be flooded in Demonic Essence and it will be useless filler loot from that point forward, at which point they may as well remove it.
"Radiant Star Ruby: +120 minimum damage/+120 maximum damage (up from +20/+20)"
this beats my 100% crit damage gem
Yeah i also think that way. Too bad i didnt prepare and bought me a radiant star rubt. Oh well, i'll have to wait a bit since prices will probably be really high.
Anyway i really like these patch notes. Awesome stuff.
And there they added MP scaling for the plans to drop, knew the straight up 50% regardless of MP was just to test so they actually dropped from the bosses... So instead of the theoretically 200-ish (?) runs for all the plans you know need like ten times that? Oh well, PTR is PTR are things are there to be tested I guess.
The plans are auctionable. You can easily buy the small handful of the ones you actually want. They won't be expensive either since people will farm those bosses until they become too cheap to be worth it.
is anyone else getting a message after you type in your password (in the PTR) and says that there is a new patch to download, you have to log out and download the new patch in order to log in? Cause this happened yesterday, is bliz making another patch note or something?

If it's anything like Bone Armor in WoW, it'll make the monster take less damage with a certain amount of charges with each hit before it goes away.
The patch mine only showed the effects had been implemented. No strings to show it had been added to mobs yet.
