  • Minions have approximately 15% more Life through the early Campaign, tapering down to be unchanged by Gem Level 30 (or so).
  • Gem Level 10 Minions now have 41% More Damage.
  • Gem Level 15 Minions now have 50% More Damage.
  • Gem Level 20 Minions now have 60% More Damage.
  • Gem Level 30 Minions now have 79% More Damage.
  • The Life threshold Skeletal Arsonists can target other Minions, and the heal amount of Skeletal Clerics has been adjusted proportionately to the Minion Life changes.
  • Adjusted the Damage, Attack Speed, and Mana Costs for the following Spear Skills:
  • Spear Throw deals ~8% more Damage at all skill levels.
  • Lightning Spear Attack Speed is now 60% of base (from 50%) and deals ~5% more Damage at all gem levels.

  • Storm Lance Attack Speed is now 60% of base (from 55%).
  • Whirlwind Lance Attack Speed is now 60% of base (from 55%).
  • All the above skills (except Spear Throw) have had their Mana Costs lowered proportionately to the Attack Speed increases.
  • Candlemass, the Living Rite's abilities has had their cooldowns slightly increased (This should result in it using attacks that are parryable more often).
  • Fixed an issue where one of Candlemass, the Living Rite's cleaves were unblockable/unparryable.
  • Count Geonor's abilities have had their cooldowns slightly increased (This should result in him using attacks that are parryable more often).
  • Blackjaw the Remnant, Oloton the Remorseless and Stormgore have had their skills rebalanced and visuals improved so their damage area more closely resemble their visuals.
