Rimeheart, a sword, does not work like Crushing Blow, but was also nerfed in the same patch with The Furnace.Blizzard questioned the exploitable nature of that item in Greater Rifts in June 2014, and removed the property from the item in a PTR patch in August 2014. The Furnace is a two-handed mace added to the game in Reaper of Souls, which deals 6-8% of a target's hit points as fire to the target.This skill dealing billions of points of damage powered the first Greater Rift 100 completion, early in the Patch 2.1 PTR testing. The skill caused targets to explode, dealing up to 40% of their maximum hit points to other targets nearby. Exploding Palm, the Monk skill, worked with a Crushing Blow effect during all of D3v and early RoS, until it was patched out in Patch 2.1.While Crushing Blow has never been enabled in a live version of Diablo 3, there have been skills and items that have a Crushing Blow mechanism, dealing damage as a percentage of the target's life. It's on higher difficulties where the Crushing Blow mechanic becomes strong, when targets have extremely high hit points. Crushing Blow is actually not very useful on lower difficulties, where attacks can deal much higher net damage. It was present in Diablo 2 and was one of the most sought item modifiers, since it subtracts a % of the monster's hit points each time it procs, which can be incredibly powerful against enemies with very high hit points.Ĭrushing Blow uses the strength of the target against it, dealing a % of the enemy's hit points as damage, either to the enemy or sometimes to other nearby enemies (as was formerly the case with the Monk's Exploding Palm skill). Crushing Blow ("CB")is an item affix that is not found in Diablo 3.
