Originally this patch was not going to require a significant amount of testing as it would have had a relatively small impact for the Americas, Europe, and Asia regions. Earlier today, though, we implemented a number of server performance optimizations that we believe would benefit from additional testing. To facilitate stress testing, we’re going to implement the 2000% increase to the Legendary Item Drop Rate again on the PTR.
Currently, we still do not plan on opening up the PTR Feedback or PTR Bug Report forums, since most of these changes will have no noticeable impact on your gameplay. That said, if you encounter a bug while on the PTR then please feel free to leave a comment about it on the PTR patch notes.
Templar Guide 2.0
MHM has put up an updated guide for the Templar follower. He goes over some alternative item choices (Eun-Jang-Do, Ess of Johan, Wyrdward) and shows why some items like Arcstone and Nagelring aren't the great choices. An interesting new view on an old topic. Check it out!
Crusader on Heroes of the Storm
As we reported over at Heroes Nexus, the Crusader Johanna will likely be entering the Nexus in the near future. For Diablo fans who also happen to be enjoying Blizzard's new hero brawler, check out our preview video below showcasing her abilities!
WTH? Less than 1% use Enchantress? What are you smoking?! Decent Templar info vid... but you might want to check those leaderboards again as a ton (especially DHs & Wiz) use Enchantress for the Crowd Control (ie Hex+++) as Templar has too many worthless healing skills that aren't needed when your strat is avoiding 1shot. Also CDR is HUGE for a follower and this video seems to discount it... you get a ton more heals from Templar or a TON more Hexes++ from Enchantress.
About time we have a shield-user in Heroes of the Storm, besides footsoldiers and the Dragon Knight
Its a stress test what did you think would happen....
