Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug where Fortify Mastery '2% reduced Duration of Ailments inflicted on you per Fortification' did not apply to Bleed/Poison on you and instead affected your Bleed/Poison duration on enemies.
- Fixed a bug where Replica Dragonfang's Flight could generate with a blank gem entry. These amulets were attempting to grant +3 levels to "Null" gem, thereby doing nothing. These amulets now instead grant +3 levels to Kinetic Fusillade.
- Fixed a bug where the experience progression of Kinetic Rain and Kinetic Rain of Impact was incorrectly set to that of a gem starting at required level 12 and not 28.
- Fixed a bug where using currency in maps, such as on Strongboxes and Essences, could use currency from your Map Device Rucksack.
- Omen of Amelioration and Omen of Bequeathal are no longer consumed on death in situations where you would not lose experience for dying.
- Fixed a bug where effects from the player that converted monster Physical Damage to an element were also increasing the amount of damage from that element based on the percentage of Physical Damage converted and the monster's level. This would have affected Elementalist's Shaper of Flames Passive, Pyroshock Clasp Unique Belt, and Kaom's Binding Unique Belt.
- Fixed a bug where some Ignites inflicted by a handful of endgame bosses were dealing up to 2-3 times the damage they should be. The affected bosses were: The Enslaver, Sasan the Bandit Lord, Vic Vox, and Nashta The Usurper.
- Fixed a bug where Leap Slam was unable to trigger Graft Skills that required the player to attack to trigger them.
- Fixed a bug where if you stunned the Incarnation of Dread during its contracting Fire Circle skill, it could leave an invisible damage over time effect. The Incarnation of Dread can no longer be stunned while performing this skill.
- Fixed a bug where Glacial Shield Swipe lost bonuses to melee damage while using a wand in the main hand.
- Fixed Kinetic Fusillade projectiles not showing on the client when fired by Totems or Sacred Wisps.
- Fixed Kinetic Fusillade visual effects spawning at the incorrect height on some terrain.
- Fixed a visual bug where Penance Brand could leave behind brands on enemies that did nothing.
- Fixed a bug where some Bloodlines Ascendancy nodes which grant skills did not grant the skills in Ruthless.
- Fixed a bug where vendors unrelated to async trade were showing a price difference warning.
- Fixed a bug where the collection icon above Faustus could remain visible when it shouldn't.
- Fixed a bug where item filters could interpret exact string matches as non-exact matches (or vice versa).
- Fixed the Map Device window showing occasionally when killing a boss in a Memory Line map.
- Fixed a bug where Chess Pieces from the Chronomancer Supporter Pack could not be accredited to your guild.
- Fixed 2 instance crashes.
