Patch history
5 changesFixed a bug where Life Loss from Blood Hunt's Explosions and Poisonous Concoction's Acidic Bursts sometimes didn't apply when very large amounts of damage were supposed to be dealt.
Fixed a bug where melee attacks and blood hunt did not correctly clear the culmination combo counter after use.
Fixed an issue that caused Blood Hunt's Blood Loss consumption explosion to sometimes deal the incorrect amount of damage.
NEW: Blood Hunt: Explosion now causes Life Loss rather than unscalable damage.
