Version history

 * We've made performance improvements to ground effects. They now use considerably less bandwidth and server resources. Disconnections or lockstep stuttering near ground effects should occur far less often.


 * Desecrated Ground, created by the unique Lightbane Raiment and the new skill Desecrate, now deals flat chaos damage per minute rather than a percentage of life as chaos damage.


 * Added buff icons for Consecrated and Desecrated ground effects.


 * Added four new Unique items, three of which were designed by our Diamond supporters. There are new general mechanics that first appear on these items: Desecrated Ground is a ground effect that does chaos damage to enemies.
