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.

will not apply the curse to yourself.

Corrupting (such as vaaling) the gloves may grant one of the corrupted implicit modifiers Curse Enemies with Level (10–12) x on Hit 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 Cospri's Will inventory iconCospri's WillCospri's Will

Version history[ | ]

Version Changes
3.12.1
  • Fixed a bug with Asenath's Gentle Touch where the explosions damaged players.
3.12.0
  • Items which apply a Curse to an enemy (such as the curse-on-hit Ring modifiers) no longer specify a level, and instead have a set magnitude for their values with a fixed amount of Doom, which is overwritten when another source applies a more potent version (similar to Arcane Surge).
3.8.0
  • 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.
3.7.1
  • Re-enabled the explosions from Asenath's Gentle Touch unique gloves. These explosions no longer damage friendly characters.
3.7.0
  • No longer drop outside of the Legion challenge leagues.
  • Versions dropped in Legion will have new modifiers and balance which we won't be spoiling here.
