Update 1.3.5 Talent Tree Vision & Deep Dives
Before we delve into specifics, here’s the overall vision for 1.3.5’s talent trees:
Typically, First Row talents modify your basic weapon, Fourth Row talents focus on class mechanics, and damage-type talents now appear much earlier for greater build flexibility.
🧙♂️ Warlock Aphorius Hellheart
We’ve revamped Aphorius’s entire tree:
- First Row now empowers your Imps! New and reworked talents let Imps deal Fire or Blood damage alongside their Dark damage.
- Second Row centers on Beholders, which can now specialize in Frost damage if you choose.
- Third Row focuses on Hellguards. The Demonic Arsenal overhaul adds a Physical damage type and grants a variety of weapons with each summon.
- Fourth Row is dedicated to Call of the Abyss, with older talents moved here and enhanced, plus powerful new effects that synergize with all damage types.
🏹 Varkath the Defiant
- First Row: Barbed Arrows now infuse all unique abilities with Blood damage. Don’t worry—if you prefer the Physical-only Slaughter build, it’s still available.
- Second Row empowers his dash skill, adding selectable damage types and new interactive effects.
- Third Row enhances pet builds:
- Lone Wolf: Grants massive power when forgoing your pet, with extra bonuses if no First or Second Row talents are chosen.
- Second Chance: Now allows multiple pet revives.
- Double Trouble: Summon a second pet with significant offensive buffs.
🔨 Taurok Rocksmash
- First Row adds either Fire to basic attacks...
...or Shock damage
- Second Row focuses on Impale:
- Magma Eruption: Adds Fire damage and grants stacking bonuses when stationary.
- Thunder Stomp: Greatly boosts Impale’s AoE and adds Shock damage.
- Fourth Row enhances his Rage mechanic with bonuses tied to each damage type.
👀 And More Villains!
While we promised smaller-scale changes for Dark Ascendant and Forgotten, we ended up giving touch-ups to every Villain. Here are some sneak peeks:
There's more!
...and more!
