  • Developer Note: We never intended for this item to be used in a way where you farm stacks for an egregious amount of time (5+ minutes) and then watch all their health disappear in less than a second. It’s not an engaging style of gameplay, and we don’t want that experience to be the best way to play the Necromancer.

Monsters

• Blighter
  • Blighter’s Poison Tentacles’ Area of Effect now hits less frequently, but at higher damage, when attacking players
