Patch 0.7.9b Release and Patch Notes

Monolith

• The third Quest Echo for the The Black Sun timeline now appears 2 echoes earlier on average.
• The lightning dragons in Dragons Grotto now count as bosses, rather than minibosses. This means they now gain temporary damage resistance like other bosses.
• Chill and slow chance mods now give enemies 40% less chill and slow chance than before.

Enemies

• Adjusted the effective health of bosses to be weighted more towards health than resistances. This does not change the time it takes to kill them, but will make damage numbers larger.

Skills

Bone Curse

Characters with Bone Curse specialized will receive a free respec for its tree.

• Crippling Anguish can have 4 points allocated (from 3).
• Signet of Agony now requires points in Crippling Anguish instead of Acute Infliction, and is no longer compatible with Illusion of Pain.
• Added a new node behind Signet of Agony that increases Bone Curse damage, but makes it linger for a shorter duration if not reapplied.
• A lot of nodes have moved around visually to accommodate this, but there are no other real changes to connections or requirements.

Sound

• Added footstep sounds for Assemble Abomination.
• Added a new sound effect for Swipes Wild Calling node.

Uniques

• Added new unique gloves, Mortalitys Grasp.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where characters that had Mark for Death specialized before it was removed were unable to specialize in a different skill using that slot.
• Fixed projectiles colliding with invisible objects in the Oracles Abode, Titans Canyon, Yulias Haven, the Immortal Summit, the Gates of Solarum, the Frozen Roots, Canyon Stronghold, and Solarum Ascent.
• Fixed some breakables being inaccessible in Ruined Shrine.
• Fixed a bug where the gold costs to reroll Echo choices in the Monolith of Fate were much higher than intended.
• Fixed a bug where Shard of the Shattered Lance and Fragments of the Shattered Lance would drop as unique items instead of set items.
• Fixed a bug that prevented Dragonflame Edict from creating Dragonflame Novas.
• Fixed a bug where Smites Descend node did not add a cooldown until your character was reloaded.
• Fixed a bug where using instant cast skills after casting Smite (with the Descend node) would cause you to teleport.
