Change

Change

Change

[Pending restart] Reduced the attack power coefficient of poisons by 8%. This is meant to partially offset the damage increase from poisons being considered melee spells, which results in a 10-20% damage increase (depending on your crit and hit chance).

Change

[Pending restart] Rogue Poisons are now considered melee attacks rather than spells, meaning their chance to hit and crit mirrors that of melee attacks and their critical strikes deal 200% normal damage, up from 150%. This will make Poison behavior more consistent with similar effects and more intuitive.
