Gameplay Updates

Vampiric Powers

Developer’s Note: Select Vampiric Powers from Season of Blood have returned with some tweaks to make their power level fit into Season of the Construct. These powers will be available as Legendary Aspects in all World Tiers and in both the Eternal and Seasonal Realms.

  • Of Accursed Touch (Editor's Note: Old Vampiric Power for reference Accursed Touch)
    • Lucky Hit: Up to a 20-35% chance to inflict Vampiric Curse on enemies. Enemies afflicted by Vampiric Curse are also Vulnerable.
    • Vampiric Curse’s stored souls deal 20%-50% increased damage.
  • Of Metamorphosis (Editor's Note: Old Vampiric Power for reference Metamorphosis )
    • When you Evade you turn into a cloud of bats, becoming Unstoppable for 2.5 seconds. Enemies along your path take Physical Damage and are inflicted with Vampiric Curse.
    • Evade’s cooldown is increased by 5-10 seconds.
  • Blood Boiling (Editor's Note: Old Vampiric Power for reference Blood Boil)
    • When your Core skills Overpower an enemy, you spawn 3 Volatile Blood Drops. Collecting a Volatile Blood Drop causes it to explode, dealing Physical Damage around you.
    • Every 20 seconds, your next Skill is guaranteed to Overpower.
  • Hectic (Editor's Note: Old Vampiric Power for reference Hectic)
    • For every 5 Basic Skills you cast, one of your active Cooldowns is reduced by 2-4 seconds.

Bug Fixes

Gameplay

  • Fixed an issue where the Seneschal gained double the benefit from skills that benefit allies, such as Barbarian's War Cry or Druid's Blood Howl.
  • Fixed an issue where an attack that swaps from melee to Crossbow would double the bonuses from the Precision and Weapon Mastery Rogue passives.
  • Fixed an issue where some interactable objects associated with various quests, such as Lyndon's Stash during the Discretionary Spending quest, could not be interacted with while mounted.
  • Fixed an issue where the camera would not reset if the player died during the Echo of Lilith encounter while the camera was zoomed out.
  • Fixed an issue where the Juggernaut's didn't apply armor while the player was mounted.
  • Fixed an issue where the Guaranteed Overpower granted by the Druid's Enhanced Pulverize did not apply immediately after acquiring 12 stacks.
  • Fixed and issue where the Necromancer's Skeleton Reapers' chance to create a corpse was based on Lucky Hit instead of a flat percentage.
  • Fixed an issue where Bone Splinters cast from the Shattered Spirit's Aspect didn’t receive the Vulnerable effect granted by Initiate's Bone Splinters.
  • Fixed an issue where Thorns was not consistent when applying Lucky Hit. (Ex: Thorns could trigger Abhorrent Decrepify but not Hewed Flesh).
  • Fixed an issue where the Cult Leader Legendary Paragon Node didn't properly give bonus damage based on bonus minion Attack Speed.
  • Fixed an issue where the Rotting Aspect wouldn't spawn additional corpses.
  • Fixed an issue where Sorcerer's Frigid Fate and Elemental Summoner Legendary Paragon effects did not work properly with the Aspect of the Elements.
  • Fixed an issue where the Fiery Surge Passive was not granting as much mana regeneration as it should.
  • Fixed an issue where bonus damage from Enhanced Caltrops could apply more often than intended when stacking multiple casts of Caltrops on the same enemy.
  • Fixed an issue where Enhanced Caltrops was dealing less damage than expected to bosses.

Developer’s Note: Some items, Legendary Aspects, Passives, Paragon bonuses, and Skills displayed bugs that allowed players to gain more power than intended when you equipped and then unequipped them. We believe these interactions lead to a worse experience for all players, as it creates a stigma that these bugs must be exploited to reach new levels of power. The bug fixes below address all known instances of this issue.

  • Fixed an issue with multiple Legendary Aspects where equipping duplicate Aspects would always apply the effect of the first equipped Aspect, ignoring the rule of applying only the strongest equipped Aspect.
  • Fixed an issue where unlearning Vyr's Mastery with the Mage-Lord's Aspect equipped would cause the effect of Vyr's Mastery to remain active.
  • Fixed an issue where a power that grants a bonus Stat based on another Stat would not re-adjust after the temporary bonus wore off.

User Interface and User Experience

  • Fixed an issue where editing your profile could also trigger the prompt for adding a friend.
  • Fixed an issue where the description for Enhanced Caltrops was missing the damage cap.

Miscellaneous

  • Fixed an issue where Heddam, the quest giver NPC for Guardians of the Pit, would disappear while Helltide was active in the area.
  • Various performance, UI, visual, and stability improvements.
