I believe, it will be just to be able to get 2 totems without Ancestral Bond passive, so if I will have it = 3 totems, + Soul Mantle armor = 4 totems can be spammed.

Basically, it is +50% dmg increase for bigger targets/bosses = 2 SB beams instead of 1 or 3 instead of 2 --> gotta love it :)

So many very good changes, more melee options, nerfed some map bosses that needed nerfing, nerfing synchronized-mob-slamming monsters, added more skills and supports to make many more builds, higher frag zones. and so much more. Very good.

But no good patch notes are complete without gutting an interesting build of the week they recently featured. Glad I played the vaal ground slam build before this hits. Wont miss it though, was annoying trying to sustain enough souls.

We have changed the way that bonuses from non-flask items (notably several unique belts) applied while drinking a flask work. Previously, these worked by augmenting each flask to give it the associated bonus effect. This meant they would be wasted if using multiple flasks, because flask bonus effects don't stack. Now, these are treated as conditional bonuses that are in effect as long as any of your flasks are active, similar to "on low life" bonuses. This means they are no longer buff-like flask effects that are modified by flask effect modifiers. These are now worded as "[effect] while using a Flask" to make the new behaviour more clear. Local "during Flask Effect" bonuses on flasks themselves are unaffected by this change.

Soulthirst hype?

Does "Poison" work with an elemental spell that is attached to "Void Manipulation", or does that not count?

Also, I assume there is a limit for poison stacks. What is the limit?

Hehe. Amusing to read all that stuff about incinerate. I'm pretty sure GGG tested it out a bit ;)

if they did it wouldn't have been that OP in the first place.

can't wrap my head around the blood dance nerf. there are so many unused unique items in this game. why nerf a mid tier unique that actually gets some play?
