Blizzard just posted updated patch notes for 1.0.5. The patch is estimated to be available for download between 2:00PM and 5:00PM PDT.

Blizzard Quote [source]
General

Followers, pets, and summoned creatures will no longer attack enemies that are in an idle state unless the player is within 10 yards of the enemy (note: Hydra heads and Sentry turrets are not affected by this change)

@euggie Only Resplendent chests are impacted by 5 stacks of NV. All other objects are still unaffected by GF/MF. Resplendent chests are rare enough that botting isn't a problem.

@anuiran oh ok, thanks. What about chests and loose rocks? gobs? If i remember correctly, i think they said that resp chests now are mf sensitive, but does that apply to all other chests and what not?
If this is answered somewhere, you can just link me instead of typing it all out.... thanks again!

not sure if this is a good thing.... i haven't had 1 legendary item drop from an elite/champ/boss, only white/chest/gob/loose tile
where can we find monster levels? also does MP affect the level of the monster?

I love that Sentry damage was increased to 175% as I suggested it would need to be bumped dramatically. I bet the damage is still too low with that completely inane cooldown. Drop the cooldown and bump the damage even higher and it might possibly be viable. They're moving in the right direction, though.

I love that the Extra Health Globes impacts potions, because that gives kiting classes like DH's a reason to care about it (kind of).

Hmm, the impact on the Legendary random affixes increasing? Ourboros (ilvl 61 amulet) has the chance to roll 100% Critical Damage on top of it's base 7-7.5% Crit Chance. Unity (ring) can also roll 100% crit damage to go with its 4.5% crit chance. Most ilvl 58 and above Legendary weapons can now spawn with 100% Crit Damage and a socket (including Echoing Fury which soooo needed to get better >_<). I don't see a huge difference overall between all the Legendaries so I think it's a good change to keep everything consistent.
