Blizzard has updated the list of Diablo 3 hotfixes to address various gameplay and service issues affecting the game.
Unlike a new patch, hotfixes are updates made on Blizzard's end without requiring players to download a new patch. As a result, some of the hotfixes will go live the moment they are implemented, while others may require the realm to be restarted before going into effect. Check out the list of changes coming to Diablo 3 below, but beware of spoilers if you ahve not yet completed the game on Normal.

Speaking on the Diablo 3 blog, community manager Micah Whipple (aka Bashiok) went into a little more depth about the incoming changes to the Monk class. Whipple explained why Blizzard is in the process of removing the on-use benefits of the Mantra of Healing rune, Boon of Protection.
"We recommend discontinuing its use until the rune is replaced with a new rune and mechanic in a future patch," Whipple suggested.
"The Boon of Protection rune was approximately ten times over its budget on the benefits it provided, and it was quite simply a mistake on our part to let the rune ship as it was," he further explained. "We don't intend to take these quick and drastic measures often, but considering the severity of the issue, we felt it important to correct it swiftly."
Currently, I play a level 53 Demon Hunter so the changes to Monk don't really effect me, but for you Monks out there, is the nerf warranted?
