Item	Description

Version history

Version	Changes
0.3.0	The base damage scaling of all player spell and secondary damage skills has been tweaked to scale better in the late game. Lightning Conduit: No longer consumes Shocks from targets hit, but now has a 6 second Cooldown. Now deals 69–208 damage at gem level 13 (previously 41–123), scaling up to 189–568 damage at gem level 20 (previously 99–297). Now has 2 additional Bolts if a Shocked Enemy is in target area (previously 1-4 additional bolts hit targets if at least one Shock Consumed). Quality now provides 0-5% more damage with Hits per 5% Shock Effect on Enemy, instead of 0-20% chance on Consuming a Shock on an Enemy to reapply it. Removed "Barrageable" and "Payoff" gem tags. [Undocumented]
0.2.1	Added "Barrageable" gem tag. [Undocumented]
0.2.0	Many Skills have had their base damage and/or damage growth per level rebalanced. Most of these changes are not specifically mentioned below as the changes are too widespread. Lightning Conduit now performs a number of extra lightning bolts if it consumes shock from an enemy. These bolts are distributed among targets in the skill's area, but can hit the same target multiple times if few enough targets were hit. Lightning Conduit has 20% more Damage with Hits per 5% Shock Effect on Enemy (previously 100% more Damage). Fixed a bug where effects that consume shocks could only consume a single shock at once. If the target has multiple active shocks, they now consume (and benefit from) all of them.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
