Miscellaneous

• The effect of the Death’s Defense passive, which prevents Necromancer minions from taking more than 30% of their maximum Life in damage in one hit with all points allocated to it, has now been made an inherit attribute for all summons (The Necromancer’s Minions and Druid’s Companions).
  • Now, all minions will only take up to 30% of their maximum Life in a single hit as damage.
  • Death’s Defense has been updated with a new effect to compensate for this change (see Necromancer section below).
