BASE GAME

Game Updates

Season of Witchcraft

• A new Nightmare Dungeon Affix has been added to guarantee a Forgotten Altar Spawn. This affix will only be an option on Nightmare Dungeon Sigils for the remainder of Season of Witchcraft.
• Dorian the Raven, introduced in Season of the Witchcraft, has welcomed you to his unkindness—you may now pet him.
• The tooltip for Decay Augmentation has been adjusted from referencing “Effects” to “Powers” to clarify that the Decay Augmentation specifically works off Witch Powers and not anything modified by a Witch Power.

Miscellaneous

• The change in Patch 2.1.1 that prevented movement while channeling the Druid’s Lacerate skill has been reverted.

Developer’s Note: We have heard feedback about how this change limited the desired functionality of Lacerate. The change has been reversed and we’re considering further improvements for Lacerate in the future.
