The "Balance and Passives Update" (0.6.8) brings a lot of changes to the game! Here are a few things to consider:

• The game will receive follow up balance updates after some data analytics has been collected from the new patch.
  
• The majority of balance changes are buffs which means that the game may be easier now. The game difficulty has been slightly adjusted to be harder but more general difficulty changes might be needed. If this is the case, changes will be made in future patches. Also, keep in mind that the Custom Game Mode will be available in the next major patch (0.6.9), and will allow players that are looking for a harder than Impossible difficulty to create their own difficulties or pick from default new difficulties (Impossible +, Impossible ++, Impossible +++).
  

[h2]Frost Debuff - Nerf[/h2]
The Frost Debuff which increases the amount of Spell Damage done per stack of Frost has been nerfed from 2.5% to 2%. The data analytics showed a massive unbalance regarding debuffs with Frost being the far superior one. The other debuffs might even still need a buff to be perfectly balanced with Frost even with the current nerf. This is still to be analyzed, nothing is confirmed yet.


[h2]Game Difficulty[/h2]
Act 2 and Act 3+ have been slightly increased in difficulty (~2-3%).

[h2]Rare- REMOVED[/h2] (Epic also affected)
Very low playrate, and doesn't really fulfill the initial synergy goal of synergizing with gold & trophies relics. The Last Flame is all about synergies, and these were too general and often not related to any synergies.
