[LIVE HOTFIXES]
Items

• Cam's Rebuttal
  
  • Falling Sword is now able to be correctly cast twice before the cooldown begins while Cam's Rebuttal is equipped (8/17)
    
    • Note: There is up to a 4 second window to cast Falling Sword again before the cooldown triggers

Monk

• Exploding Palm
  
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when killing an immense number of monsters affected by Exploding Palm (8/17)

Cross Game Items for Consoles

It seems like console players of Reaper of Souls will not be able to get the items from the cross promotion with Heroes of the Storm. Grimiku said he will bring the feedback up in the next dev meeting, but for now there are no plans to have those items on the Ultimate Evil Edition.

I'm glad you asked about this, and I'll be sure to mention it the next time we have a meeting with the dev team. However, this cross promotion is only for PC/Mac users, and the Ultimate Evil Edition is not eligible.

T10 Speed Farm Uliana Monk

WavingReds has put together a great Torment 10 tested Uliana's Monk setup on our Builds section. If a T10 speed farming build is your goal on the first couple weeks, definitely look into it.

Edit: wqwfst has pointed out in the comment section that due to a recent change using Essence Burn is not the best alternative for the build, and that Impending Doom is better now.

Patch 2.3 Preparation Guide

Rhykker released a video guide on how to prepare for Patch 2.3 - particularly meaningful for non-seasonal players. While we have featured similar videos in the past, this one is particularly well organized, goes straight to the point, has class specific sections and some interesting new tips. Check it out!
