Patch history
4 changesFixed a bug where some effects like Lingering Illusion were invisible.
Fixed a visual bug with Lingering Illusion while shapeshifted.
Lingering Illusion: Illusions now linger for 3 seconds (previously 1.2). Illusion now have 1% of your maximum Life (previously 15%). Lingering Illusion now causes its Illusions to drop a Remnant that grants a Power Charge on pickup, rather than granting a Power Charge when an Illusion was destroyed, these Remnants last for 5 seconds. Lingering Illusion now requires its Illusions to be destroyed by an enemy to drop its Remnant.
Fixed a bug that could cause Lingering Illusion to stop functioning when supported by specific support gems if you had very little unreserved spirit.
