Finality now also grants 6% more damage per point.
Spirit Shards has been replaced with Seeds of Undeath. When Harvest kills an enemy or hits a boss or rare enemy, 10% chance per point to summon a Volatile Zombie, consuming 50% of its mana cost. This effect can occur up to 5 times per 3 seconds. Max 5 points.
Gravechill now converts poison chance to frostbite instead of chill.
Pestilence no longer prevents Reap from critically hitting.
Effects in the tree which grant poison chance or duration are now converted to frostbite or bleed by the Gravechill or Bloodmoon Reaver nodes.
Unholy Dominion’s description has been updated to clarify it makes Reap no longer share a cooldown with traversal skills in general, not just Transplant.
Now hits all enemies in a line in front of you. Each enemy hit still creates an orb of blood that returns to heal you.
Tree changes:
Eviscerate has been removed.
Crimson Flood grants 25% increased area for Blood Splatter per point (from 20%). Max 4 points (from 5).
Splatter now grants 25% chance per point for a Blood Splatter on hit, up to 1 Splatter per point from a single cast of Rip Blood. Enemies hit by Rip Blood can’t be hit by Blood Splatter, and enemies hit by a Blood Splatter can’t be hit by other Blood Splatters from the same cast. Max 4 points (from 5).
Necrotic Unity grants 2% increased area per minion, up to 20 (from no limit).
Gushing Wound has been moved to a new branch, and grants 25% bleed chance (from 20%). Max 4 points (from 5).
Added a new node off Gushing Wound, Revile. 10% more damage over time per point. Max 4 points.
Added a new node off Gushing Wound, Blood Bond. When Rip Blood hits a boss or rare enemy, it attaches a Blood Tether to the target. Max 1 point.
Added a new node in Gushing Wound’s old position, Volatility. +3% critical chance per point. Max 3 points.
Added a new node off of Volatility, Carnage. When you directly use Rip Blood and hit a boss or rare enemy or at least 3 enemies, you cast Marrow Shards in the same direction. Max 1 point.
Coagulation now has a maximum of 12 stacks (from 4), and consumes 6 stacks to trigger its effect (from 4). Now requires that blood orbs return health to gain a stack (from requiring that the returned health restores excess health). Because Rip Blood can now hit multiple enemies at once, it is now possible to gain multiple stacks from a single cast.
Necrotic Inspiration now grants 2% (from 1.5%) more damage per minion you control, up to 20 (from no limit).
Blood Catalyst has been reworked. When you directly use Rip Blood and kill at least one enemy, Rip Blood will recast from that enemy’s position towards another nearby enemy, consuming Rip Blood’s mana cost. These recasts can also trigger this effect. Rip Blood no longer creates Blood Orbs.
Rip Spirit now also converts bleed chance to damned chance.
Arcane Absorption grants +1 spell damage per point (from 2) for 6 seconds when you directly cast Rip Blood, but this effect is now doubled for Rip Blood.
The Orbs of Blood now restore 5 health (from 10).
Quenching grants +2 health from Blood Orbs per point (from 4).
Mana Feast grants +1 mana from Blood Orbs per point (from 3), but the amount of mana gained is now tripled from bosses and rare enemies (from no benefit against bosses and rare enemies).
Removed the intelligence scaling listed on Blood Tether and Coagulated Blood. As subskills they inherit attribute scaling from the skill that triggered them, this is just a description change.
