• Chilling Wind will spawn overlapping walls less often.
• The Stun ability from the Cannibal Gorger can now be more easily avoided.
• Increased the cooldown on the Cold Goatman Ice Pillars.
• Reduced the amount of Chill applied from the Cold Spider attack.
• Reduced the Stun duration from the Nangari Snake Eyes from 1.5 to 1.25 seconds.
• Other changes that reduce how often the player can be targeted by Crowd Control

General

• The death explosion from Fire Enchanted monsters releases 1 less wave and deals 20% less damage.
• The damage from the Bloated Corpsefiend’s charge attack has been reduced by 14%.

MISCELLANEOUS

• Affixes on items will now sort consistently.Developer’s Note: We’re adjusting how Affixes are displayed on item tooltips in Season of Blood. This change will lay the foundation for our ongoing work of making random Affixes easier to compare.
