<p>Blizzard has released the Diablo 3 patch 1.0.2.b.</p>
<p>Login has been changed slightly to reduce server load, the sale of damaged items on the Auction House is now allowed and a few bugs related to the Barbarian class have been fixed.</p>
<p>The changes in full:</p>
<ul>
<li>General: When logging into Diablo 3, the &#8220;Cancel&#8221; button which appears in the login checkbox will now be grayed out for 30 seconds after a Battle.net account name and password are entered. This is to reduce server load during the login process.</li>
<li>Auction House: Damaged items can now be sold on the auction house.</li>
<li>Once sold, damaged items will be repaired automatically when moved from the purchasing player&#8217;s Completed tab to their stash.</li>
<li>Please note that unsold damage items will not be automatically repaired when returned to the seller&#8217;s stash.</li>
<li>Description messages for several auction house-related errors have been added.</li>
<li>Mac: Several Mac performance improvements have been made.</li>
<li>Bug Fixes: General: It is no longer possible to skip entire Acts in a multiplayer game.</li>
<li>Classes: Barbarian &#8211; Active Skills: Fixed a bug that was allowing certain barbarian skills to continuously trigger each other&#8217;s critical strikes, to the point of causing the player to crash. To address this crash, the following skill and skill rune combinations can no longer be triggered by each other&#8217;s critical strikes:.</li>
<li>Battle Rage (Skill Rune &#8211; Bloodshed).</li>
<li>Cleave (Skill Rune &#8211; Rupture and Skill Rune &#8211; Scattering Blast).</li>
<li>Hammer of the Ancients (Skill Rune &#8211; Thunder Strike).</li>
<li>Wrath of the Berserker (Skill Rune &#8211; Slaughter).</li>
<li>Followers: Monsters who are charmed by the Enchantress&#8217;s skill &#8220;Mass Confusion&#8221; can no longer kill event NPCs.</li>
</ul>
