VersionChanges
3.23.0
Vaal Detonate Dead:
  • Quality now causes Vaal Detonate Dead to have a 0-30% chance to detonate an additional corpse, instead of providing 0-20% increased Area Damage.
3.19.0
  • Vaal Detonate Dead: Now has "Explosion deals base Fire Damage equal to 6% of the corpse's maximum Life" at gem level 1, up to 7.9% at gem level 20 (previously 9% at all gem levels).
  • 3.17.0
  • Fixed a bug where the damage from Vaal Detonate Dead's explosion was able to be reflected.
  • 3.6.0
    Vaal Detonate Dead
    3.3.0
    Vaal Detonate Dead
    • Monsters which use Detonate Dead and Vaal Detonate Dead have been updated to use a version similar to the one used by Alira and Tolman in maps.
    • 3.2.0
    • Bameth, Shifting Darkness now better signals when he is using his Vaal Detonate Dead skill. This skill now radiates outwards for a set distance, rather than along all corpses connected to his target.
    • 2.4.0
    • Strongboxes that explode corpses now do so in a wave that emanates outwards from the Strongbox, rather than using Vaal Detonate Dead. This prevents some negative situations that would previously occur.

    • Now places a marker then detonates the nearest corpse, then after a short delay finds and detonates the next closest corpse in a large radius. It repeats this until there are no corpses in the large radius of the marker, or until it has detonated 22 corpses, with the delay growing slightly every time it repeats.
    • Now deals 15 to 21 fire damage at gem level 1 (up from 3-5), up to 1235-1852 at gem level 20 (up from 251-376), in addition to fire damage equal to 9% of the detonated corpse's maximum life (up from 8%).
    • Now gains 1% increased area damage per 1% gem quality (previously gained 1% increased cast speed per 1% gem quality).
    • Now prevents you from gaining Vaal souls for 8 seconds after use.
    • Now has an added damage effectiveness of 150% (up from 100%).
    • 1.1.0d
    • Vaal Skill soul counts were initially balanced for Merciless difficulty, where there are more monsters. We want them to be easier to use in Normal and Cruel difficulty. We have halved the number of souls required for each skill. In Cruel difficulty, skills require 50% more souls to uses. In Merciless difficulty, they require 100% more (which is the same as before the patch).
