Infernalist Update 0.3 Patch Notes

Link to Full Patch Notes

  • The Infernal Hound, granted by the Loyal Hellhound Notable Passive Skill, now Ignites Enemies within 2.5 metres (previously 1.5 metres).
  • The Pyromantic Pact Notable Passive Skill now grants Infernal Flame equal to twice your Mana (previously equal to your Mana), but causes you to lose 25% of your Infernal Flame per second if you haven't gained any in the past 2 seconds (previously 50% per second).
  • Demon Form, granted by the Demonic Possession Notable Passive Skill, no longer disables your weapons or has its own weapon set. It no longer grants level of all Spell Skills while in Demon Form, or increased Spell Damage per Demonflame. It now grants 3% more Spell Damage per Demonflame, and Quality now provides +0-10% increased Cast Speed while in Demon Form (previously had no Quality). Life Loss per second from Demonflame is now lower beyond Skill Gem 20.
