Asenath's Gentle Touch

Asenath's Gentle Touch is a pair of unique.

Mechanics
Asenath's Gentle Touch inflicts a debuff on enemies on hit, which equals to the value of the debuff from the level 1  skill, but have 40% increased Hex effectiveness (curse skill has a Doom cap of 30, which equals to 30% effectiveness. Self cast curse gains Doom over time). The final curse debuff effect is similar to debuff from higher level Temporal Chains curse skill at zero Doom. Also note that boss such as The Shaper has 66% less Hex effectiveness.

Because the curse applies only to enemies, damage done to yourself either through reflect or will not apply the curse to yourself.

Corrupting (such as vaaling) the gloves may grant one of the corrupted implicit modifiers in order to dual curse the enemy on hit. However, the player must find a way to increase the curse limit, such as Whispers of Doom or. If the character's curse limit is the default of 1, the implicit curse is applied second and therefore takes priority, according to player testing.

Like many league-specific drop that also tied to boss/chest, Asenath's Gentle Touch cannot be (as of 2020). However, it is not certain it is intended or not.

Version history

 * In addition to the above ways of encountering Legion monoliths, you can now find Legion uniques in chests that award league-restricted items.
 * Vagan now awards various Legion-related items in Betrayal Safehouses. In Transportation Safehouses he awards Legion Splinters. In Research he awards Incubators. In Intervention he awards Legion Scarabs. In Fortification he awards a set of chests that can be found in Legion encounters.
 * Unique items that can be found exclusively from Legion encounters as of 3.7.0 can still only be found from Legion encounters and the related reward sources above.
