Item	Description

Version history

Version	Changes
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. Hexblast can now only detonate Curses for which at least 50% of the duration has expired. This means it can never explode Curses that have an infinite duration. Curse orbs will be visually different when 50% of the Curse duration has expired if you have Hexblast equipped. The Explosion radius of Hexblast has been increased to 2 metres (previously 1.6 metres), and it now has a maximum of 3 Explosions per cast (previously 9).
0.1.0d	Updated the description on Hexblast to clarify that it only detonates a single Curse per Enemy in its radius.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
