 * Would previously chain to other nearby corpses until there were no other nearby corpses left.
 * 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%).


 * 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).


 * Introduced to the game.
