Torchlight III Patch Notes on 8/12/2020
MONSTERS
- Changed the normal monster tether distance to 35 meters (champion monsters are unchanged).
- Enabled the names of the immunities that monsters in “Status: Immune” get, to make it easier to tell that they have them.
- Slightly expanded the Larger Monster Collision Cylinders.
- Fixed some cases when monsters that are supposed to spawn from trapped breakables fail to do so.
- Fixed divided monsters spawning at level 1.
- Set all the monsters that spawn into one of the mapworks boss arena areas to not spawn loot.

- Fixed an issue with the element icons not appearing correctly on non-fire monsters.
- Set the normal (non-mapworks) version of the Stormbringer affix to only be valid for solo champions, not packs.
- Removed some of the climb up spawners to reduce the number of enemies on screen.
- Fixed champions not spawning in certain cases.
- Fixed a root cause of monsters returning to their idle/move blend after death.
- Fixed some skeletons spawning as if impaled when not against a wall, instead of dropping from above.
- Fixed skeletons dropping out of the sky instead of climbing down from being impaled onto walls.

- Added an increase in monster move and attack speed on Hard difficulty of +10%.
- Decreased the amount of damage that players deal to normal and champion monsters on Ridiculous difficulty from 35% to 30%, decreased the amount of damage that players deal to bosses on Ridiculous difficulty from 75% to 70%.
- Reduced the amount of damage that bosses take from players on Ridiculous from 70% to 50% and on Painful from 80% to 60% to make bosses feel like more of a proper challenge at those difficulties.
- Reduced the normal monster health at these difficulties (no change to other difficulties) so that their values increase greater than at normal difficulty, but not as dramatically as before.
- Champions and Bosses now get the difficulty bonuses to movement speed.
- Reunited Skullotar with his companion Jagwar.
- Fixed Netherim Brute and Netherim Spellbreaker type bosses that were failing to spawn.
