Patch history
6 changesPerfect Strike: Now deals 157-343% of Attack Damage (previously 142-312%) at Gem levels 5-20.
Perfect Strike: Perfect Strike now has an Attack Damage of 470-1029% at Gem levels 5-20 (previously 598-1310%). A Perfect Strike now has +35 to Melee Strike Range (previously +14). Perfect Strike's Attack time is now 30% of base (previously 35%).
Fixed a bug where the Perfect Strike Skill incorrectly had the Duration tag.
Fixed a bug where Perfect Strike's visual effects did not match the damaging area.
Perfect Strike no longer always Ignites, and now has an Attack Speed of 35% of base (previously 45%). Quality now provides 0-20% more Ignite Chance (previously 0-20% increased Magnitude of Ignite you inflict). Perfect Strike also now deals damage in a wider area close to the player, making it less likely to miss enemies standing next to the player.
Snipe's attack speed multiplier and mana cost has been adjusted so that the attack time matches the time until a perfect strike. This is mainly to improve descriptions and the function of the skill is unchanged.
