Limit debuff talent level reduction to randbosses < lvl25

Patch 1.65 notes it will “Limit debuff talent level reduction to randbosses below level 25.” What does that mean?

Before,randbosses would only learn disabling talents to a low level, so that randbosses would not get too insane. This now only applies if they're level 25 or lower. The better scaling these days should avoid the disables getting too bad after that anyway.

... so the net effect of 1.65 on randbosses is to make them stronger in the midgame and on?

This patch note was wrong/incomplete when it first went up, I think its fixed now.

In 1.6 randboss stun talent levels were reduced to floor(level / 10)+1 before level 30. This was to reduce the impact of early game stuns since cleanse options are limited then.

In 1.6.5 I expanded this to apply to all disable talents instead of just stuns. This is done by parsing the tactical tables so it should be quite thorough. Additionally the reduction is changed to max(1, floor(level / 10)) and the level the reduction stops is changed to 25 instead of 30.

This represents a huge nerf to randbosses from level 1-25, a very slight buff to level 25-30, and no change whatsoever to 30+.
