Minions absorbed when assembling an abomination are now unsummoned rather than killed. This means the “chance when one of your Skeletons dies to resummon a new one after 3 seconds” effects can no longer trigger from Skeletons being absorbed.
Sharpened Bones grants 2% more melee damage and health per absorbed warrior (from 1%), 3% increased attack speed per absorbed rogue (from 2%), and 5% increased area per absorbed archer (from 3%).

Updated the tooltip for Bone Splinters to better describe its behavior as a projectile ability.
Ghost Splinters grants 30% increased speed and range for Bone Splinters (from 25%). Max 4 points (from 6).
Bone Splinters are now affected by all nodes in Marrow Shards’s skill tree. Relevant node descriptions have been adjusted to remove mention of whether or not Bone Splinters are affected. In particular, this means that the following nodes now affect Bone Splinters: Demise, Bones of the Follower, Rip Marrow, Life Blood, Marrow Eater, Spirit Feast, Apathy.
Carving grants more damage for Bone Splinters (from more hit damage for Bone Splinters).
Dead Weight grants more damage (from more hit damage).
Bones of the Follower grants more damage (from more hit damage).

Added a new node which requires Ossumancy, Second Sight: the second cast from Ossumancy targets a random nearby enemy. Max 1 point.
The Bone Splinters node now also grants the effect that Marrow Caster previously gave, causing Marrow Shards to be destroyed at the target location.
Marrow Caster’s functionality has been replaced: Marrow Shards are now instantly destroyed, creating a Splinter Nova around you instead of Bone Splinters. Splinter Nova is affected by all modifiers to Marrow Shards and Bone Splinters. Modifiers to the projectile speed of Bone Splinters grant increased area for Splinter Nova.
All indirect casts of Marrow Shards, such as from Ossumancy, no longer pay the health cost when cast.
Rip Marrow: now limited to occurring up to 3 times per second (from no limit)
Improved the behavior of Rip Marrow: previously, each individual cast would roll for a chance to be able to trigger a Marrow Orb from all hits. Now, each individual hit has a chance to trigger a Marrow Orb, including from Marrow Shards’s subskills. This will increase the overall consistency of the triggers when hitting many enemies.
Spirit Feast now always causes Marrow Orbs to restore 5 Mana (from 33% chance to restore 15 Mana).
Bone Nova is now an area spell that hits all nearby enemies instead of creating individual projectiles with unreliable aim.
Bone Missiles grants Bone Nova 25% increased area of effect per point (from 25% increased speed and range for projectiles).
Ivory Ballista grants Bone Nova +50% slow chance per point (from granting piercing, which it now has by default). Max 2 points (from 1).

Bone Shatter is now an area spell that hits all nearby enemies instead of creating individual projectiles with unreliable aim.
Flight of the Femurs has been reworked. It no longer grants piercing or 25% increased projectile speed and range, as the spell is no longer a projectile and pierces by default.

Now also receives +4 armor per point of Intelligence.

Pyre Golem’s Infernal Aura’s damage over time now has 100% effectiveness of added damage each second (from 75%), and now ignites enemies within its radius every second
Bone Kindling has been reworked. Skeletons and Skeletal Mages which die within 18 meters grant the Pyre Golem 25% more fire damage over time to ignited enemies per point for 10 seconds. This effect can occur up to 10 times per 10 seconds, and each stack is multiplicative with other stacks.
Note: Because each stack of Bone Kindling is multiplicative with other stacks, 10 Skeletons or Skeletal Mages dying nearby results in more total damage for Infernal Aura than the previous effect of the node, from 3% to 55% more total damage depending on which Minion types died nearby. Additionally, this effect’s modifier applies to pre-existing casts of Infernal Aura, and you no longer need to ensure your Minions are within Infernal Aura’s hit radius when it is initially cast.
Marrow Eater has been reworked. Skeletons which die within 18 meters grant the Bone Golem 5% more armor and 5% more melee damage per point for 10 seconds. This effect can occur up to 10 times per 10 seconds, and each stack is multiplicative with other stacks. Max 2 points (from 5).

Removed the hidden 14% less damage modifier that was on Skeletal Mages, Pyromancers, and Cryomancers.

Aftershocks are now converted to Lightning when Earthquake is converted to Lightning.
It is now possible for multiple Storm Stacks to be expended within a single tick. Previously Storm Stacks had an effective limit due to only being able to expend up to 1 stack each tick, even if the interval between casts was reduced to 0% by being at or above 50 stacks. Now if you have 100 Storm Stacks, 50 will be expended instantly to cast 50 Storm Bolts, preventing issues where your Storm Stack gain rate could outpace the expenditure rate.
Lagonian Diplomacy now has additional alt text explaining that Gathering Storm cast this way is affected by effects which apply to Gathering Storm and to Storm Bolt, but it is no longer a melee attack.

Updated the visual effect on enemies for the “High Speed and Crit on Approach” modifier.
Updated the visual effect for Soul Geyser attacks.
Made some visual effect updates for Void enemies.
Decreased the emerge time of Rime Giant enemies.
Visual Improvements to Cold and Freeze death effects.
Adjusted the visuals of Praetor Vul’Arta sandstorm attack so that it stands out more in the bright environment of The Sapphire Quarter.
Haruspex Orian has started a new training regimen, and the gains are already paying off. His attacks are all now generally more dangerous, their cooldowns have been slightly reduced, and he’ll more consistently aVoid targeting low priority targets, such as skeletons, with his most dangerous abilities.
Pannion’s Students are now individually slightly less durable, and slightly more dangerous. They will also now more consistently ignore targeting low priority targets, such as skeletons, with their most dangerous abilities. Their projectiles now also pierce all targets.
Pannion’s Students now have visual effects designating which of them wields which element, and have gained indicators for some of their attacks.
Elder Pannion has established an even stronger connection with the Void. All of his attack now do more damage, with his most dangerous abilities now dealing considerably more. He will now also use his most dangerous abilities far more early in his encounter.
The Emperor’s Remains is now much more intent on killing the player than he is on killing the player’s pet crab. He will more consistently ignore low priority targets when choosing targets for his most dangerous abilities, and he will also use those abilities more often.
The Wengari Matriarch and Patriarch have returned from a romantic getaway on the shores of Heorot’s Temple, and now have a much stronger matrimonial bond. They now seek vengeance when their mate is slain and become far more dangerous until slain.
Apophis has shed her skin, and gained considerably more health in the process. As a welcome side effect, most of her attacks now also deal tremendously more damage than before. We recommend dodging the Void laser.
The Draal Queen’s venom has intensified, and the hit component of her Poison-based attacks all do more damage as a result.
The Twin Dragons both have had their visual effects updated to more reliably line up with the area of effect of their abilities.
The Twin Dragons will now more vehemently defend what remains of their brood. Their attacks all deal considerably more damage, and each Dragon now gains even more damage upon the death of their mate. Their abilities which unlock upon their mate’s death have also been updated to become considerably more dangerous.
The Observer would like to remind players everywhere that he is, in fact, a God. To do so he has compelled the powers that be to more than double his health, and significantly increase the damage of his most dangerous skills. He also now becomes invincible during his phase transition.
The Observer will no longer target players not even in his arena with his tentacle summons or meteor skills. That wasn’t sporting, and he issues a formal apology.
The Observer’s Void laser now has visual effects more in line with its actual position. Its indicator also no longer lingers throughout the entire ability.
Decreased the sizes of some Champions for visual clarity.
Added a new Champion based on Ice Goliath’s: Alexos, the Frozen Maw.
Etzali, the First Storm (T Rex champion) takes 80% less damage while roaring (from 70% less) and has 5% more health.
Gravedigger Mourn (Desecrated Flesh Champion) has 72% more health.
Lithecus the Giant (Gorilla champion) has 17% less health and the permanent buff Lithecus the Giant gains from the ability he uses at 75% health grants 30% less damage taken (from 75%), but now also grants 15% more damage.
Skritter (Rat Champion) has 21% more health.
Skritter now inflicts Poison, bleed, and fraily on hit, but deals 4% less hit damage.
Skritter now grants 136% more experience on kill, and drops more gold.
Sliz the Slicer (dual wielding cultist champion) has 18% less health.
Sliz the Slicer’s Minions have 25% more damage and health but die as soon as he does.
Exiled Mages have 45% less health at level 1, around the same health as before at level 30, and 10% more health at level 100.
Exiled Mages deal 10% less damage at level 1, around the same damage as before from level 10 onwards.
Rift beasts have 9% less base health and now only gain 20% increased health per evolution (from 25%).
Rift Beast lineages now start with two pre-existing evolutions, making them more rewarding and the fights themselves more immediately challenging and complex. The number of chosen evolutions in a lineage has not changed, so regularly spawned Rift Beasts now may have up to 9 evolutions (from 7).
This includes Rift Beasts summoned by the Evolution’s End amulet, and most existing Evolution’s Ends will gain two new evolutions with this change.
Nemeses have 45% less health at level 1, around the same health as before at level 30, and 10% more health at level 100.
Nemeses deal 15% less damage at level 1, around the same damage before at level 20, and 10% more damage at level 100.
The system for unlocking level 90+ Timelines has been reworked. The layout of timelines in the Monolith has been changed such that from first stepping into the Monolith, the Traveler has access to a central hub. All pre-level 90 timelines are accessible via paths to the left and right of this hub.
All of the level 90+ timelines are to the north of this hub with a barrier in place that requires completing a new quest “Knowledge of Orobyss” to unlock access. The quest is completed when the Traveler gains 5 Knowledge of Orobyss. You gain one point by completing the following:
Campaign Quests
Chapter IX
Chapter X
Monolith Timelines
Fall of the Outcasts
The Black Sun
The Stolen Lance
Fall of the Empire (Completing this grants 2 Knowledge)
Blood, Frost, and Death
Reign of Dragons (Completing this grants 2 Knowledge)
Ending the Storm
Knowledge of Orobyss is shared with all characters that are connected to the same stash.
The player’s first Harbinger encounter will now occur during the Boss Quest Echo of their first completed level 90+ timeline instead of the third. This allows the player to unlock Empowered Echoes and the Forgotten Knights Faction with fewer total timeline completions than previously.
The Echo reward rock and reward chest have been merged. The chest is now in the center close to where the rock was, and contains the Echo specific rewards, in addition to a few piles of gold. The Echo specific reward now scales with how much of the Echo’s bonus stability you gathered, indicated by three pips on the bonus stability bar that light up once you have enough bonus stability. Each of these pips increases the tier of the chest and the amount of rewards you get from it.
Updated the Monolith Echo Web UI:
Timeline quests are now displayed as buttons under the stability bar, with new iconography to better indicate Echo quests vs timeline bosses.
Echo quests are now only present in normal difficulty timelines.
New timeline info display with timeline name, area level, corruption, and Gaze of Orobyss.
New Harbinger corruption info display to show if you have sufficient corruption to spawn a Harbinger and which Harbinger will be spawned (Agile or Brute).
Updated controller support for quicker temporal keystone usage or toggling timeline difficulty.
New Echo tooltips, based on the item tooltip design with distinct theming for different types of Echoes (normal, woven, special).
Echo tooltips now show warnings if:
You have died in the Echo (Echo completion reward is lose).
Only shown for Echoes that had a reward (the item type icon on the island).
You have entered and left the Echo (in-Echo RNG/events are nerfed).
Not shown for specific Echoes that are not nerfed by leaving (Shade of Orobyss, Shade Gauntlet, Sanctuary of Eterra, Uber Aberroth).
Updated Echo Web islands and connections UI
A solid line now indicates a reachable island.
A dashed line now indicates an unreachable island.
Updated UI visuals for reward types such that they are now grouped into identifiable categories.
The status icon for Echo islands has been moved so that it doesn’t replace the reward icon.
The status icon, in addition to showing if an Echo is completed, now also shows if an Echo the Echo has been abandoned or failed.
The bonus stability bar now shows up as soon as you enter an Echo, rather than only showing up once you’d killed some enemies.
Echoes will only display a reward icon for droppable rewards instead of also for stability.
The fade to black effect has been removed when entering an Echo in the Monolith of Fate.
Moved the Forge to the opposite side in the Echo of a World.
Added 5 new Echo zones:
Titan’s Plateau
Caldera of Flames
Maelstrom Ledge
Serpent Valley
Basalt Cliffs
“Rooms” (small areas within an Echo) now have between 39% and 191% spawner density (from 77% to 143%) this results in more varied pack size and slightly more enemies in general.
Replaced Umbral Pursuer with Abyssal Fiend in the Voidscarred Archive.
Chests at the end of Tombs of the Erased have been adjusted to be generally more rewarding. They should be roughly equivalent to the reward from an end chest for an echo that reached the second bonus stability threshold.
In the Scorched Grove, there is a new 2.5D cinematic showing the fight between Heorot and Rahyeh. This brings an old scene in line with the rest of our campaign cinematics.
Updated dialogue for Heorot, Rahyeh, & Yulia.
Updated some Cultist NPC models from chapter 3.
Fallen Refuge now has new more readable textures.
Made adjustments to the visuals in The Verdant Lakes.
Replaced the portrait used in dialogue for the Surviving Guard NPC in The Armory.
Removed boss line text from Sanctuary of Eterra’s boss fights.
Player should no longer visually float above the ground in some scenes. Please report any areas you see this happening!
Plentiful Windows: Omen Echo Chains are more likely to spawn.
Inescapable Omens: Roaming Omens have a chance to spawn in any Echo.
Omen’s Soldiers: Omens have a chance to summon Void Champions during Omen Windows encounters.
Memories of the Observer: Most regular Echoes in your Echo Web appear in Echo Chains rather than as single Echoes. Cemeteries and imprinted Woven Echoes appear to the sides of chains rather than inside them. Beacons no longer appear. This does not affect the spawn rate of special Echo Chains, which can be revealed without this node.
Reduced the imprint spawn rate of Bloodline Glade, Nesting Grove, and Rampant Coast to be closer to the spawn rate of other similar Woven Echoes.
Attempting to place invalid items into one of the Woven Echo crafting containers will now show error prompts.
Updated the layout of the Woven Echoes inventory tab to be organized based on content type (Encounter, Boss, Crafting, Aura).
The Exiled But Not Forgotten weaver tree node now causes Rune Prisons to spawn two mages at a rate of 20% per point with a maximum of 5 points, from 10% point with a maximum of 4.
Added ability to customize the map icon and item beam separately instead of them being intrinsically linked.
Added a gameplay setting in the loot filter section to control when the loot filter rule number should appear on items’ ground labels: Always, Never, or Only when the loot filter editor is opened (default).
Added a “Recolor” toggle in the loot filter rule editor to expose whether the rule should recolor the item or not. The white color can now also be used to recolor items in loot filters.
Polished the scroll view for multipicker selection. Unique modifiers now can be navigated with a controller.
Added 7 new loot filter sounds: Wild, Comet, Smash, Smith, Precious, Metal, and Unlock.
Condition Updates
Loot filter conditions are now sorted alphabetically (a-z) with the “None” option at the top.
Added a loot filter condition called “Corruption” to filter corrupted / uncorrupted items.
Adding a new filter condition for Potentials (Legendary Potential, Forging Potential, Weaver’s Will and Weaver’s Touch). The former values of the rarity filter condition have been moved to that new condition and existing filters will automatically update.
When editing an affix condition in a rule that also contains a class requirement condition or an item type condition, the affix condition will only show the affixes that could roll for the class(es) and item type(s) selected.
Affix condition: If no affix is selected, the condition will now match any affix instead of none. This allows players to quickly create rules based on item tiers.
The Keys condition has been renamed to Resources.
The Resources condition can now also match Temporal Keystones, Merchant Tokens, Crystallized Heart, and Arena Key of Memory
New “Shards,” “Runes,” and “Glyphs” conditions have been added for loot filters.
The “Runes” condition allows filtering of each individual rune.
The “Glyphs” condition allows filtering of each individual glyph.
The “Shards” condition only allows the selection of common or rare shards as of now.
As a result, the “Crafting Materials” condition of loot filter has been removed. Existing loot filters will automatically update to match the same crafting items using the new conditions.
The Primalist has had all of his animations remade.
Running & Walking
Evades
Attacks
Skills
Idle
The Rogue has had many of her animations updated to give clarity and weight her abilities:
Upper/Lower body split so now the body moves more dynamically.
Bow strings are now animated. The Rogue now pulls the bow string and causes the bow to bend and snap/vibrate when the bow is shot allowing for more dynamic visuals.
Turn leaning to keep the momentum while traveling our world.
Items listings that you do not have sufficient favor for are now disabled and will show an “Insufficient Favor” error message if you attempt to interact with them.
Reworked the underlying system for how UI panels are opened, closed, and layered to create a more consistent baseline UI experience. This should make opening, closing, and navigating panels feel more predictable and consistent, so players spend less time fighting the UI and more time fighting monsters.
UI panels are now arranged into full screen, left, center, and right panels, each with their own baseline functionality, so interacting with the UI is more consistent with player expectations.
Center panels are now always rendered on top of left/right panels, which are always on top of full screen panels, ensuring important information is never hidden.
Opening a full screen panel (such as the map) will now consistently close any other open panels, so only what you see is what is interacted with.
Left, center, and right panels can now be consistently opened on top of full screen panels, giving players quick access to additional information without closing everything else.
Center panels now universally adjust their offset to aVoid overlapping left or right panels (like what Woven Echo crafts did previously) so that information is always visible and readable across screen sizes.
Updated the design of basic confirmation modals, so prompts are consistently structured and easier to quickly understand.
Escape (or B on controller) now closes popups first, then left/center/right panels, then full screen panels, making it easier to back out step by step aVoiding accidental closures.
Swapping focus between panels on gamepad should now be more consistent across all panels.
Quick move (shift+right click) logic is now based on where panels are open and will try to move the item to the most relevant other panel that will accept it. This will make moving items faster, more intuitive, and automatically supported anytime a new UI is added. e.g.
Quick moving from the inventory to the Nemesis egg will instead move to the stash if the egg if full (or vice versa if moving from the stash).
Quick moving to Woven Offering (in Gauntlet of Strife) will first try to move the item to the sacrifice item slot, then once that is full, it will instead move to the reroll item slot.
Added a new setting (Gameplay > Interface > Hide Detailed Stats With No Value) that will hide any detailed stats in your character sheet that have a value of 0 so you can more easily see just the stats you’ve invested in.
Adjusted positioning of several entries in the Character Sheet.
Added new entries to the Character Sheet for different types of Critical Strike multiplier, for throwing crit chance, and for stats granted by corrupted attributes.
Updated Reduced Bonus Damage Taken from Crits’s tooltip in the Character Sheet to clarify that a negative value means increased damage taken (Madness provides a negative amount of this stat).
Added a detailed description to Increased Haste Effect’s tooltip in the Character Sheet.
Updated the “Equip Now” button in the in game shop so that in addition to opening the cosmetics tab of the inventory it also equips the newly purchased cosmetic.
There is now a Character Effects subtab in the All Cosmetics section of the in game cosmetics shop.
Updated game guide with new pages and adjustments to existing pages.
When using a controller after a notification for a new concept pops up the Game Guide selection in the Radial menu will now show an indicator that you can learn more by accessing it.
Improved info tooltip positioning to keep the tooltip on screen and aVoid overlapping what was hovered.
Effects from items and passive trees that give conditional buffs (e.g. the increased damage with every third attack from the Rogue’s Lethal Cadence node) now affect tooltip DPS while active.
Sources of frenzy that have higher effectiveness will now only be overwritten by new sources with lower effectiveness if the current source has very low remaining duration (previously, new sources would always replace older sources, regardless of effectiveness).
Evade Changes
Evade now breaks breakables along its path.
Evade has a small leniency, allowing the player to jump over sections slightly longer than the fixed Evade distance.
Evade can no longer pass through solid walls in the Rift Beast caves.
Evade can no longer be used to climb onto areas that are significantly higher than the player’s current position (does not apply to ramps and sloped surfaces).
WASD movement mode now supports key based interaction. This is called “Basic Interaction”, has no default keybind, and is at the end of the input binding list.
Movement is blocked if the cursor enters the UI while holding down the movement button.
The player can no longer use skills during transitions to another scene.
Improved WASD path detection - the player no longer jitters around obstacles.
Unexpired shrine buffs now remain on your character when transitioning between zones while playing online.
Removed options for manually transferring crafting materials from the Settings menu. Crafting materials will now auto transfer for all players. Legacy characters with crafting items in their inventory will still be able to manually transfer for the time being and are advised to do so before the next season.
You can now “/whisper AnotherPlayer” without an initial message to set a whisper target.
Added an option to right-click a player name in chat and select “Report Player” for violating the community rules. This report will go straight to our Player Support team.
Similar to /deaths, there is now a /played command to display the play time of your current character.

Fixed cases where reroll chance on specific item types was not taken into account for effects that had bonus effects based on an affix’s rarity (e.g. an affix that was rare by default, but common on the item type in question would still receive bonuses as if it were rare).
Fixed an issue where the “frenzy effect and increased melee damage while you have frenzy” enchanted Idol affix was not granting increased melee damage while you have frenzy.
Fixed an issue where the “increased Skeletal Mage damage” affix had no effect.
Fixed an issue where reroll chance on specific item types was not taken into account for glyph of chaos, resulting in affixes that were generally rare, but common for the item type you were using the glyph on being unintentionally rare when using the glyph.
Fixed an issue where reroll chance on specific item types was not taken into account for rune of discovery, resulting in affixes that were generally rare, but common for the item type you were using the glyph on being unintentionally rare when using the rune.
Fixed an issue where reroll chance on specific item types was not taken into account for adding sealed affixes with the Soul Gambler, resulting in affixes that were generally rare, but common for the item type you were purchasing being unintentionally rare when deciding the sealed affix.
Fixed an issue where items could be duplicated in the Eternity Cache in offline mode specifically.
Fixed an issue where equipping Aberroth’s Command while having no off-hand item would prevent Void Cleave from being usable until re-equipping the ability.

Fixed an issue where the following modifiers on Fangs of the Berserker were not being affected by increased effect of frenzy: “more melee damage while you have frenzy”, “increased damage taken while you have frenzy”, “% of melee damage leeched as health while you have frenzy”, “% of health leech also drains the health of the nearest enemy within 6 meters while you have frenzy.”
Fixed an issue where using Smoke Bomb with Shadow String equipped would grant an increasing amount of Ward with each use. It now properly grants the listed amount of Ward on each use.
Fixed a display only issue where the additional Lightning penetration for a throwing/bow attack after using a Lightning bow/throwing attack was listed as 42-62%, but is actually 62-92%. The display now shows 62-92%.
Fixed an issue where gold Echo specific rewards did not scale correctly with corruption. This will result in an increase in gold rewards at high corruption.
Fixed an issue where the relative frequency of more powerful Echo specific rewards did not scale correctly with corruption. This is a buff.
Fixed currency not being lootable for other players in an Echo of a World after a player started an Echo.
Fixed an issue which could lead to monolith boss loot spawning twice under certain circumstances.
Fixed an issue where the Intuitive Connection node gave Falcon Strikes and Dive Bomb 5% reduced cooldown recovery speed instead of 5% increased cooldown length (this effect was similar, but slightly larger or small than intended depending on how much increased cooldown recovery speed you had from stats).
Fixed an issue where the +2% Fire Penetration per Intelligence from Expert Duelist would not be applied when wielding a two handed staff.

The description for Create Shadow has been updated to clarify that shadows will imitate direct uses of Shurikens, Umbral Blades, Acid Flask, and Shadow Cascade, and that they can also imitate indirect uses of Shadow Cascade. This is only a description change.
Fixed an issue where if you had the Deepest Ravine node (removing spirits) when you converted the ability to something other than necrotic, the Necrotic tag would not be removed.
Fixed an issue where stacks of Poison applied by entering Reaper Form when using the Herald of Rot node benefitted from increased Poison duration and Poison penetration with Poison stats that had tags that didn’t correspond to Reaper Form, such as “increased Poison duration with Lightning skills”.
Fixed an issue where the Blood variant weapon visual effects were much more subtle visually than the other versions.
Fixed an issue preventing the From Blood node from working.
Fixed an issue preventing the Crimson Horror node from working.
Fixed an issue where Bone Nova could not hit enemies that were hit by the cast of Sacrifice that created the Bone Nova.

Fixed an issue with the Ethereal cosmetic where it would appear too high in the air.
Fixed an issue where the blood decal would stretch on use.
Fixed an issue where the Fire converted casts caused by Rule of Simoon would cause Tornado to lose skill levels gained by effects that granted skill levels to Physical skills.
Fixed an issue where the additional detonation from Reign of Blood occurred at a point above the player. It will now more reliably hit enemies nearby.
Fixed an issue where Supermassive was granting more direct damage, inconsistent with its description. It now grants more damage, meaning it also applies to ailments inflicted by Black Hole.
Removed the alt text on the Scorching node which incorrectly stated that penetration is more effective against enemies with low health. Don’t believe its lies.
Fixed an issue where Elemental Nova would not show equipped cosmetic effects outside the area of the main skill if the Freezing Cascade node was allocated.
Fixed an issue where Flame Wave was not affected by modifiers in Firebrand’s tree. This means effects such as more damage within Firebrand will now also affect Flame Wave.
Fixed an issue where additional chains from Glyph of Dominion’s Tendrils of the Invoker, Static’s Diode, and the “chance for Lightning Blast to chain 4 additional times” affix were not halved by Convergence.
Fixed an issue where indirectly casting Lightning Blast at a specific target with the Focal Blast node allocated would cause the ability to always be fired forward from the player, instead of at the given target.
Fixed an issue where Surging Influence did not affect Lightning Blast’s chain range.
Corrected an errant description on the Insulation node. It previously said it does not provide its effect if the Cold conversion node (Glacial Assault) is allocated, but the conversion is irrelevant to this node.
Fixed an issue where, in some cases, shrapnel could be created with positions and angles inconsistent with the orb they’re fired from.
Fixed an issue where, when the Volcanic Orb was cast during Flame Rush, shrapnel from the final explosion would remain at a single point instead of spreading out correctly.
Fixed an online issue where, if the Volcanic Orb was cast during Flame Rush, its movement was out of sync with the player. The orb now stays in sync and explodes immediately after Flame Rush ends.
Fixed a visual issue where, when the Volcanic Orb was cast online on sloped terrain, its movement did not correctly follow the incline.
Fixed an issue where Concentrated Effect was not removing the shrapnel at the end.
Fixed an issue where Tsunami did not receive effects from Maelstrom’s tree. For example, modifiers to the damage or area of Maelstrom will now also affect Tsunami.
Fixed an issue where, under certain circumstances, it was possible to cast Maelstrom when you did not have the requisite Mana.
Fixed an issue where Spriggan’s Thorn Volley projectiles could only inflict ailments on a particular enemy from one hit per cast. Now each projectile can inflict ailments even when hitting the same enemy.
Fixed Thorny Stalks’s description to state that its effect scales with the number of Spriggans you control. The functionality has not changed; the description was inaccurate previously.
Fixed an issue where Spriggan’s Thorn Volley had no visual.
Fixed issues where Coldest Night, Fulminating Strikes, Cloudburst Conduit, Bulwark of Nature, and Tempestuous Legend did not affect Tempests cast by your Tempest Totems.
Fixed an issue where Bulwark of Nature’s effect would only occur when a Tempest was created by performing a melee attack. It will now trigger from any Tempests created, including sources like Cloudburst Conduit.
Fixed an issue which caused Acid Flask to be unable to consume Falconer’s Mark.
Fixed an issue which caused Acid Flasks thrown by your Falcon to count as a direct use of Acid Flask by the player for effects not specific to Acid Flask. Nodes in the Acid Flask tree which require a direct cast still apply to Acid Flask when thrown by the Falcon.

Cannot add T5+ affixes to unique or legendary items if your character is below level 24.
Cannot add exalted affixes to unique or legendary items if your character is below level 51.
