  • Fixed an issue where Necrochasm’s Cursed Thrall Arc explosions dealt less damage than intended to combatants.

  • Fixed an issue where the description of the Ritual Violence Seasonal Challenge was asking for combatant kills from Season of the Witch activities instead of ritual playlists.   

UI AND UX 

  • Fixed an issue where the Featured Quest tile had higher cursor friction than intended. 
  • The description of Savathûn’s Spire now properly reflects its two difficulty options. 

GENERAL 

  • The Season Pass will now properly reflect Pass ownership state for the Rank 71 reward. 
  • The Dance Off emote now correctly reflects its additional effects when viewed in Eververse.
