Diablo 3 Loot and Crafting Changes for 1.0.3

Yesterday we posted the Unofficial Patch Notes for 1.0.3 for General and Class changes for Diablo 3.  Today we have the Notes for Items and Crafting changes.  Unfortunately 1.0.3 will be coming with a nerf to IAS (increased attack speed), which can be quite severe at higher haste values.

Items

 

• The attack speed affix has been reduced significantly on all items. The following list outlines all of the previous values and new values for each affix level. This should give you a rough idea of how much IAS you should expect to lose.
  
  UPDATE: IAS on Quivers appears to be unchanged, I checked a few (including Dead Man's Legacy) and they retained their pre 1.0.3 values.
