Base Game

Season of Infernal Chaos

All Classes

Chaos Powers

A Beast Cornered

  • Previous: For every 10% Life you are missing, you gain 10-20%[x] increased damage and 5% damage reduction. Spending resources also drains a percentage of your Life equal to 30% of the Resources spent, refunding those resources. This cannot reduce you to below 10% Life.
  • Now: For every 10% Life you are missing, you gain 10-20%[x] increased damage and 5% damage reduction. Each resource you spend also drains a 0.2% of your Maximum Life to refund 40% of the total resources spent. This cannot reduce you to below 10% Life.

Rogue

Unpredictable Alchemy

  • Imbued damage increased from 20-40%[x] to 40-60%[x].

Hit and Run

  • Damage bonus increased from 30-50%[x] to 50-70%[x].

Barbarian

Single Minded Fury

  • Bleed Duration increased from 150-250% to 200-300%.
  • Maximum Life increased from 75-125% to 100-150%.
  • Damage bonus increased from 150-250% to 200-300%.

Gameplay

Rogue

Orphan Maker

  • Damage bonus for every second Reload Skill increased from 50%[x] to 100%[x].

Sorcerer

  • Crackling Energy no longer gets picked up from the Convulsions passive if you are full on Crackling Energy charges.

Developer’s Note: This will stop situations where high attack speed can cause you to run out of Crackling Energy.

Infernal Hordes

  • The range of Soulspires was increased, and Monsters will frequently ambush players inside.

Developer’s Note: We believe this change leans into the frenetic feel of Infernal Hordes while still retaining Soulspires’ role as a high-investment, high-payout Infernal offer.

  • The Ambushing Hellborne Infernal Offer now results in far more Hellborne ambushes.

Miscellaneous

  • Descriptions for Season Journey objectives Entropy and Tides of Chaos have been updated to clarify that only completing associated activities in the overworld will progress the objective.

Bug Fixes

Gameplay

  • Fixed an issue where Barbarian’s Wrath of the Berserker would grant its passive damage bonus to Sabre of Tsasgal when it was lower than Rank 5.
