Patch Notes Overview
BUG FIXES
-
Fixed an issue where Blood Golem’s Upgrade would not increase its damage while the Golem was Healthy, which includes the increase from Ring of Mendeln, Shademist Aspect, and Aspect of Fel Gluttony.
-
Fixed an issue where Skirmisher Skeleton Warriors would only deal increased damage from their basic attacks, and not from Ring of Mendeln or Shademist Aspect.
-
Developer’s Note: The Tooltip for this effect will be updated in a future patch to correctly indicate that this is a multiplicative [x] damage increase.

-
Developer’s Note: Ring of Mendeln, Shademist Aspect, and Aspect of Fel Gluttony are intended to scale with all bonuses that increase your damage output. This includes sources like Aspect of Elements or from Critical Strike Damage, or the damage output of the specific Minion that are triggering them, such as Golem Damage, Kalan’s Edict, or the inherent bonus damage on Skirmishers. These effects are not Skills and are not Cast and thus do not benefit from the increases Locran’s Talisman or other effects that specifically affect Skills or Casts.
