This is noted under Miscellaneous, which states that monster health increases at higher world tiers. In other words, expect monsters to get harder as you move toward the endgame.

Other changes in the patch relate to class cooldowns.

For wizards, the Fire Shield enchantment has been nerfed. With this patch applied, Fire Shield will be on full cooldown when initially equipped in the enchantment slot.

In Rogues, after Inner Sight’s infinite power ends, there is a four second delay before another enemy is marked.

The patch also reduces the cooldown of Barbarian’s Shout, stating that the affix’s note will no longer appear on items.
