Patch history

3 changes
0.3.0c
Direct change

Fixed an issue preventing Orb of Storms and Solar Orb from being supported by Unleash. These skills are still unintentionally unable to be supported by Spell Echo and Spell Cascade: this will be fixed at a later date.

0.2.0e
Direct change

Eye of Winter now gains bonus elemental damage when passing through other elemental orbs like Solar Orb, Orb of Storms or Frost Bomb.

0.3.0
Direct change

Orb of Storms: Now triggers from casting any spell in its radius (previously only lightning spells, but incorrectly described as all lightning skills). It now creates a Lightning Infusion Remnant if all of its bolts are used up or its duration expires. It now has a maximum of 6 bolts at all Gem levels (previously 12-29 at Gem levels 3-20). It now has a base radius of 3.6 metres (previously 2.8 metres). It now deals 1-15 damage at gem level 3 (previously 4-12), scaling up to 14-260 damage at gem level 20 (previously 63-190). Now fires a bolt every 4 seconds, and when you use a Lightning Skill near the Orb (previously every 3.4-2.55 seconds at Gem levels 3-20). Orb duration is now 12 seconds (previously 10).
