Finally, the fun stuff. Today we're putting out 24 new Runes & Talismans. These are mostly focused around improving status effects: Burning, Freezing, Electrified, and Poisoned. There should be some fun ways to make builds focused on these really pop off, and support other builds in new ways. Here is a preview of 3 of them:
This update was inspired directly by player feedback that statuses were too weak. So please, keep the feedback coming and share your thoughts. It really has an effect on what we do and how the game shapes up.
New Talismans: Buckler, Porcupine Quill, Ignition Stone, Charred Blackstone, Catalyst Phial, Radiant Stone, Fourfaced Frog, Ghost Quartz, Molten Core, Ionic Core, Syphilitic Core, Darklight Ring
New Runes: Rune of Wildfire, Rune of the Glacier, Rune of the Nimbus, Rune of the Sneak, Thrumming Rune, Matriarch Rune, Rune of Madness, Rune of Anxiety, Rune of Inflammation, Pernicious Rune, Vorticose Rune, Shadowstone
