Diablo 3 patch fixes Trail of Cinders bug

Blizzard has confirmed that patch 1.0.5 for Diablo 3 will fix the Trail of Cinders bug.

The bug causes the Trail of Cinders rune to deal five times more damage than intended.

The damage done by the rune will be reduced from 1500% over three seconds to 300% over three seconds.

Blizzard community manager, Lylirra, explained why the bug has taken so long to fix on the Battle.net forum: "While this bug was discovered very quickly after 1.0.4 released and is capable of being hotfixed, we didn't want to move forward with the fix without giving players proper notice.

"We also know that players are having fun using Trail of Cinders in their builds, so - although this is an important issue we want to address - we're opting to wait for the next client patch to make any adjustments."

Patch 1.0.5 hasn't been given a launch date.
