Passive Tree Balance

We’ve taken the opportunity with this patch to review the passive skill tree as a whole, with a few specific goals in mind:

• We wanted to add support for mechanics that have been added in the past few years that as of yet do not have adequate support on the passive tree. Some of these mechanics include Rage, Unleash, Corpse manipulation, Warcries, Heralds and Banners.
• Many passive skill clusters offered the same thing as other clusters, with the only differences being the location on the tree and the number of passive skills in the cluster. In this patch, we have endeavoured to give each cluster its own identity and function.
• Timeless Jewel Keystone passives have become a popular feature for many builds, but are prohibitively difficult to acquire (especially without trade). We’ve moved some of the most build-defining Keystones out of the Timeless Jewels and into the tree itself. These Keystones have been added to the tree: The Agnostic, Glancing Blows, Supreme Ego, Wind Dancer and Eternal Youth.
• We’ve also added new Keystones as part of our effort to support newer mechanics. These Keystones are: The Impaler, Imbalanced Guard and Call to Arms.
• We also wanted to reduce the power of some clusters that were overly efficient, and increase the power of clusters that were inefficient. Ultimately, the passive skill tree should provide more interesting choices regardless of your build.
• Due to the volume of the changes to the passive skill tree, we won’t be listing each change out. Instead, you can check out the new tree for yourself here.

It is now also limited to 1, which does affect existing versions of the item.
• Geofri’s Devotion: The Elemental Warding skill now has a cooldown of 1 second (from 10), only triggers on melee hit (rather than any), and makes you unaffected by curses rather than immune to curses for its duration. This affects all existing versions of this item. Due to basetype changes, it now has 42-47 to 66-71 added Physical Damage (from 50-56 to 73-78). Existing items can be updated to these values with a Divine Orb.

The amount by which allies are healed is now 1% of your maximum Life (from 2%), which existing versions can be updated to with the use of a Divine Orb and a temporary loss of your mental faculties.
• Mark of the Red Covenant: Minions now have 25-45% increased movement speed (from 10-15%). Summoned Raging Spirits no longer refresh their duration when they kill an ignited enemy, and instead deal fire-only splash damage to surrounding targets. Existing items are unaffected.

• Moonbender’s Wing: Now triggers level 10 Lightning Warp on Hit (previously just granted level 1 Lightning Warp). No longer converts 25% of Physical Damage to Cold Damage and 25% of Physical Damage to Lightning Damage. Instead, hits with this weapon now gain 75-100% of Physical Damage as extra Cold or Lightning Damage.

Amplification Rod now supports socketed spells with level 10 Controlled Destruction (from level 1) and level 10 Intensify (instead of level 1 Increased Area of Effect). Likewise, this affects existing versions of Amplification Rod, even if the item says it still has level 1.

• The Saviour: Mirage Warriors have been renamed Mirage Saviours, to differentiate them from those created by General’s Cry. Strike skills used by Mirage Saviours cannot hit additional targets. This affects all existing versions of the item. This change is required to maintain server performance, as builds using The Saviour with certain Strike skills were causing enough calculations to put noticeable strain on the servers. It was accidentally missed in the Development Manifesto.
• The Scourge: New copies of this item no longer have a chance to trigger Summon Spectral Wolf on kill. Now causes increases and reductions to Minion Damage to also affect you at 150% of their value (from 100%), which affects all versions of the item. Existing versions of this item now trigger level 10 Summon Spectral Wolf on kill (from 18), however the skill has been significantly changed, and you are now granted added physical damage to attacks. The minions from this skill are now also affected by your modifiers to critical strike chance and critical strike multiplier. In other words, it’s a lot better now.

• Uul-Netol’s Embrace: Now triggers level 20 Bone Nova when you hit a Bleeding Enemy (rather than when you kill a Bleeding Enemy). When it triggers, the bones are fired from the enemy’s location rather than yours. Affects all versions of this item.
• Valako’s Sign: Now grants 1% of Damage Leeched as Life against Shocked Enemies (from 0.2%), and 25% chance to Shock (from 10%). Existing versions can be updated to the new values with a Divine Orb.

Existing versions can be updated to new values (but not the new Leech modifier) with a Divine Orb.
• The Whispering Ice: The Icestorm skill granted by this item now has an added damage effectiveness of 45% (from 30%). This affects all versions of the item.
• White Wind: Now grants +1000-1500 Evasion Rating (from 300-400). Now grants 15-25% chance to Dodge attack hits while your Off Hand is empty (from 20%). Now grants 100-200% increased Cold Damage while your Off Hand is empty (from 100%). Existing versions of this item can be updated to these new values with a Divine Orb.
• Wildfire: Has been mostly redesigned. It still grants 10-15% increased Fire Damage, but no longer grants additional projectiles or increased area of effect. It now causes Molten Strike projectiles to Chain once, and causes Molten Strike to fire 50% fewer Projectiles. Existing items are unaffected.

It now has 60-80% increased Physical Damage (from 100-120%) due to the change in basetype. Existing versions of this item can be updated to new values with a Divine Orb.

Monster Changes

• Due to a number of changes making it much easier to reliably stun tough enemies, many bosses are now immune to stun while stunned and for a short time after the stun ends.
• The base distance an enemy is knocked back by knockback effects is now based on the enemy’s size. Smaller enemies are knocked farther back than large enemies.
