Several seasons ago, Blizzard added a batch of new Unique items to the game. One of them was
Wendigo Brand, which rewards players who manage to maintain a high number of kills. The item’s effect grants more damage and life for every 15 kills in the last 50 seconds.
This season, however, many player characters have been dying from unexplained causes, despite meeting Toughness demands for the difficulty. In turn, a lot of fans in the community turned to the Wendigo Brand as the most likely culprit.
Social media websites such as Reddit already have several posts about this, suspecting this ring of killing them instead of just granting bonuses. The same goes for Blizzard’s official forums where one player explains that, once the Wendigo Brand’s effect reaches a maximum of 50 stacks, it starts taking health away.
Blizzard Community Manager Marcoose confirmed in a blue post that they’re investigating the reports and working on a hotfix for the issue.

Thank you all for the reports, team is looking into this
