New Skills for the Wizard
In Curse of the Allflame, the Wizard receives new skill gems called Pacts:
- These extraordinary skill gems drop from Beyond bosses as well as from Lycia in the Forbidden Sanctum
- The Pact significantly enhances your spells, but in return, imposes a negative burden on you
- The update additionally introduces a new reservation skill specifically aimed at wizards equipped with staves
- Furthermore, the game expands with several new transformed skill gems that aim to provide even more build diversity
Mercenaries of Trarthus Return
With the new expansion, the mercenaries return. This means:
- If you defeat a mercenary in battle, you get to keep one of their powerful items
- Moreover, they will join you and fight by your side for the remainder of the current area
- If the available items are uninteresting, you can issue a bounty
- This way, that specific mercenary will reappear in a later map – with the same abilities, but a completely fresh pool of items
- The mercenary faction now brings its own nodes in the Atlas talent tree as well as suitable scarabs
New Ascendancy Class
The noble daughter receives a new ascendancy class called Hierophant. Here’s what you need to know:
- With this class, you can permanently hire a mercenary who will now fight actively by your side
- Unlike regular mercenaries, you can fully equip this special companion, allowing for completely new build combinations
Anomalies in the Atlas
With Curse of the Allflame, so-called anomalies appear everywhere in the Atlas when you complete maps affected by a Voidstone. This doesn’t happen every time, as there’s only a certain chance it occurs, but when it does, you can enter these areas once for valuable rewards.
