Vaneras		PTR Patch 2.4.0 Hotfixes - Current 1/12(1)Category: PTR FeedbackDecember-2-2015 2:37 AM PST (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Listed below are a number of hotfixes that have been applied to the current build on the 2.4.0 PTR.

We’re doing things a little differently for this PTR to allow us to be a bit more agile in making updates and doing testing. Because of this, you should be aware of a couple of important notes.

First, we’re making some changes on the server side only rather than on the client side. What this means for you is that you’ll find changes that happen in game without needing to update the game from your launcher. You may need to restart the game for the changes to go into effect.

Secondly, because these changes are server side, you may see that tooltips for certain abilities are incorrect and differ from the information in these hotfix notes. Because of this, you should always refer here to find the most updated in-game values.

As an example: if we hotfix a damage bonus to an ability, the damage you actually deal to monsters will be correct, the floating damage numbers will be correct, but the only thing that may be incorrect would be the tooltip on the skill itself. Rest assured that when the patch goes live, all values should be consistent across client, server, tooltip, and all.

With all that said, check out the hotfixes below, which may be updated throughout the PTR.
