Patch 0.5.00

Raise the dead with the new Necromancer class, socket Runes into your gear, and face brutal new conditions, Shock and Frostbite.

New content

New class: Necromancer

Slay enemies, collect their souls, and summon them to fight at your side. Summoned enemies inherit part of your stats and bring their own skill kit. Experiment to find which summon fits your build.

New gear mechanic: Runes

Gear can now roll open rune sockets. Identify the runes you find and socket the ones you want.

  • Enemies can now drop Runes, both dormant and awakened

New conditions: Shock and Frostbite

  • Shock: stacks up to 5 charges, damage scales with Reaction Mastery. Sources: Thundershock, Thunder Rage

  • Frostbite: stacks up to 5 charges, damage scales with DEF + RES. Sources: Cryoshards, Winter Breath, Freeze

New artifact sets

  • Voltic Set: Shock damage over time triggers a homing electric bolt against the target

  • Glacial Set: Frostbite damage grants a temporary shield, Freeze deals bonus damage

  • Miasma Set: emits a continuous aura that deals Poison damage over time

New Blessings

  • Overdrive: surplus Attack Speed converts into power, rapid attacks unleash extra strikes

  • Unbounded Cadence: bonus Action Chain damage while no Reaction Chain is active

Changes

  • Loot names no longer overlap: matching drops now stack, click to collect the ones you want

  • Removed Numpad key bindings in favor of standard number keys

  • Redesigned gear tooltips: more compact, showing only core item info. Hold on a gear set's name to view full set details in a separate window

Bug fixes

  • Fixed incorrect damage calculation for Dragon Oath

  • Fixed an issue where buffs weren't removed correctly after being hit by enemy purple warning-circle attacks

  • Fixed an input issue affecting skill presetting

  • Various other minor bug fixes
