No, we plan to change this as it was not intended to scale with aura effect or with Valour. We’ll update the patch notes to reflect this change.

Shared, it’s a counter on your character rather than on a specific skill.

Yes.

No, they still function as normal as they are not inflicted by hits at all.

No, these enchantments have not received any changes.

They do not stack — the Claw Mastery will provide no additional benefit if you have Determined Survivor.

Neither. The shield is designed to be a collection of all the Vaal-themed keystone passives on one item. If one of the keystones changes then the shield’s function will naturally change in turn, and we don’t have any concerns with that as long as the item can still function.

Oath of Spring does not change the minimum amount of damage required to shock an enemy.

The 2% shock effect value is an override and your stats can’t modify it further. Increased shock effect does allow you to apply this shock with smaller hits.

When a rare monster dies it has a 25% chance to fracture. When this happens it will fracture into a magic monster for each of the modifiers it had. So a 4 mod rare would become 4 magic monsters with one of those mods each.

Yep! We’ll be reverting this change to its 3.24 state.

No, Hoarfrost is a regular debuff.

No. It checks the final freeze duration on the enemy after all of those modifiers have been applied, and if it’s less than 2 seconds, sets it to 2 seconds.

Gold is a regular item drop — anything that causes more items to drop will naturally cause you to find more gold. The mining resources you gain do scale with item quantity in endgame maps, but at a reduced rate.

It applies to damage with hits and ailments. The description has now been updated to make this more clear.

All of these nodes work with any damage aside from minions, including spells and totems/traps/mines. However, Unbound Fury from the Avatar of the Wilds node does require you to hit enemies yourself, and will not be generated by totems/traps/mines.

Here’s the reminder text that shows on the banner skills: “By default you gain 1 Valour on Melee Kill, or on Melee Hit against Rare or Unique enemies, no more than once every 0.5 seconds, up to a maximum of 50.”

Only 2!

There are two different things that could be referred to as “Slayer leech”.

• “Life Leech effects are not removed when Unreserved Life is Filled” from Brutal Fervour does not interact with Vaal Pact at all. Vaal Pact causes all leech instances to be applied immediately regardless of how much life you have, so that will still happen if you have Brutal Fervour.
• The Overkill Damage leech from Endless Hunger is assigned to the damage that killed the monster, so with Vaal Pact allocated it will be instant from melee kills and normal leech from other kills. It is worth noting that the overkill leech is a separate instance of leech from the hit’s leech, which can be quite advantageous even with Vaal Pact. However, none of the “while Leeching” stats on Endless Hunger function with instant leech.

No. Methods of turning an item into a unique item also don’t work on items with one of these enchantments.

We’re changing Eternal Damnation from “cannot gain endurance charges/cannot gain power charges” to “Maximum Endurance, Frenzy and Power Charges is 0

It would have, but that’s a bit crazy so we’re changing it. The full patch note is as follows:

• The Taming now has 30-40% increased Elemental Damage with Hits and Ailments for each type of Elemental Ailment on Enemy (from 20% increased Damage with Hits and Ailments per Freeze, Shock or Ignite on Enemy). This change affects existing items, though you will need to use a Divine Orb to obtain the new values. It no longer has 30% increased Elemental Damage with Attack Skills or 30% increased Elemental Damage, and using a Divine Orb on existing versions will remove these two modifiers.

Elemental Overload states that your ailments never count as being from critical strikes, and Perfect Agony states that your non-critical strikes cannot inflict ailments. So you cannot inflict ailments.

No, Perfect Agony overrides your damage over time multiplier so ignores all your damage over time multiplier stats.

All of them! It copies the critical strike multiplier from the hit that’s applying the ailment, so any critical strike multiplier that applied to that hit will also apply to your damage over time multiplier, including weapon specific or highly conditional sources.

• Being aggravated is a property of each individual bleeding debuff.
• Stats that grant a chance to aggravate bleeding aggravate all bleeding on the target at once if they trigger (other than the one that aggravates bleeding older than 4 seconds). They do not roll their chance individually for each bleed.
• The extra damage from aggravated bleeding is separate to bleeding’s normal damage. This means that if you aggravate a 100 dps bleed on a target, that target is now taking 100 normal bleeding dps and 200 aggravated bleeding dps as long as it’s stationary. If you then inflict a 200 dps normal bleed, that will take precedence over the normal damage from the smaller bleed, but the aggravated damage from that bleed will keep applying as long as it’s the highest aggravated bleed damage and the monster is stationary. The target would be taking 400 dps when stationary, or 600 while moving.
• Aggravating a bleed has no effect with Crimson Dance, as there is no extra damage to deal.
• If you aggravate bleeding on hit, and inflict a bleed with that same hit, the new bleed will not be aggravated. You’d have to hit again to aggravate it. The Gladiator’s Jagged Technique passive is the only way to apply an aggravated bleed in a single hit.

It overrides your shield’s block chance to 50%, no matter what. Nothing on the shield can affect or modify this. The word “Base” has now been removed from the node’s description in order to make it less ambiguous.

Technically yes, but it just has to be enough to try and inflict a 1 millisecond freeze – about 1/6000th of a monster’s life.

Yep, Orbs of Regrets still exist.

Nope, you can only use these resources to send shipments and upgrade your town.

Multiple sources of rage on hit can grant you rage from the same hit. If you have 5 rage on hit from a weapon, 3 from a tincture, and 2 from an ascendancy, you would gain 10 rage from a single hit and then the 0.5 second cooldown would kick in.

No, while you’re using Flicker Strike you move instantaneously so aren’t continuously moving for one second.

Players with race rewards that have increased item quantity on them will not be able to withdraw those in future temp leagues, only in permanent leagues.

Almost! It reserves less mana and its mitigation stats have slightly changed. The full list of stats are:

• Reserves 10% of Mana
• Gain 1 Bark each second if you haven’t been Hit by an Enemy Attack Recently
• Lose 1 Bark when Hit by an Enemy Attack
• Maximum 10 Bark
• -30 Physical Damage taken from Attack Hits per Bark
• 2% more chance to Evade Attacks per Bark below maximum

Yes, but with balance changes. Notably, a lot of the auras some of them could provide are less powerful.

Yes, It has a limit of 10 currently. We will be experimenting with this limit.

No.
