CLASSES
Barbarian
-General
*The animation speed for Leap has been increased
#The new speed is now faster than it was for both male and female Barbarians pre-patch 2.0.5
*The animation speed for Earthquake has been slightly increased

Monk
-Philosophy
*We felt that Momentum was not as strong as some other Monk passives. The buffs to Momentum should help bring it more in line with its peers.
*While there are no additional changes at this time, we intend to buff other abilities in a future patch to open up more build diversity.

Class-Specific Items
-Monk
*Philosophy
#Legendary items are just as important to class power as class skills. We recognize that the Monk class sets went out underpowered, and are substantially increasing their damage to be closer in comparison with the sets of other classes. Additionally, the Raiment of a Thousand Storms 6- piece bonus has been redesigned slightly to allow the damage to be higher, more controlled, and more deliberate.
*Monkey King's Garb

Explosion weapon damage increased from 100% to 1600%
Lowered explosion delay from 1 to 0.5 seconds
Bug Fix: Fixed an issue that cause the Spirit spent counter to reset when an item was picked up

Weapon damage increased from 100% to 3000%
Damage radius decreased from 20 yards to 15 yards
Damage dealt can now be a Critical Hit

Bug Fixes:
-Fixed an issue introduced in Patch 2.0.5 that prevented the +% Haunt Damage, +% Locust Swarm Damage, and +% Rend Damage item affixes from being applied

CRAFTING
Legendary crafting recipes have received several changes:
-Philosophy
*Legendary crafted items are meant to be both a stepping stone into end game items and a good place to spend crafting materials at the end game. While we like the fantasy of having the unique crafting materials, obtaining them was either keeping too many people from being able to complete the recipes in a timely manner or encouraging game flipping and similar less than ideal patterns of play in order to acquire them. As such, we are removing the requirement for unique items when crafting Legendaries.
-Unique crafting materials are no longer required
*Legendary crafting materials will no longer drop
*Existing Legendary crafting materials will now be grey and have had their sell prices increased
-Level 70 crafted sets and Legendary items with unique properties now require additional Death's Breath
-Level 70 crafted Legendary items without unique properties have had their Death's Breath costs removed
Death's Breath is no longer required for most Artisan training costs
-The Blacksmith, Jeweler, and Mystic now only require 1 each to learn the first rank of level 11
