Patch notes

These are the official patch notes for version 3.21.0c released by Grinding Gear Games.

This patch disables lower-tier Crucible Passives that have downsides from rolling, and contains updates to the Crucible Forge user interface, as well as a number of other improvements and bug fixes.

Crucible Changes

• Added an indicator to the Crucible Forge user interface which displays the relative difficulty for the amount of channelling you have done, and how close you are to fully-channelling the encounter.
• Disabled most of the lower-tier Crucible Passives that have downsides on the initial skill from rolling. Initial skills with downsides are far less common and can generally only roll in the endgame. When an initial skill does come with a downside, the upside should outweigh the downside.
• The Crucible Passive that granted Weapon Elemental Damage and cannot Inflict Elemental Ailments can no longer roll.
• Unique Items obtained by selling an item with a Crucible Passive Tree now come with their own Crucible Passive Tree, with the first skill allocated.
• Crucible Passive Tree Skills that cause the item to sell for an additional Unique Item can no longer be transferred onto other unrelated Base Types by combining Crucible Passive Trees.
• Updated the explode visuals for the Crucible Passive Tree skill that causes Totems to Explode on Death to be more appropriate.

General Improvements

• The Caster Passive Skill Mastery which provides a chance to open nearby Chests when you Cast a Spell no longer opens Curio Displays in Heist.
• The Heist LockerHeist LockerHideout ItemCreates an object in your hideout Hideout decoration is now unlocked when you first visit the Rogue Harbour in a League, rather than upon completing The Rogue Harbour quest.
• The "Flasks you Use apply to Linked Targets" modifier on the Ceinture of BenevolenceCeinture of Benevolence

• Updated an Armour Passive Skill Mastery description to clarify it provides maximum Elemental Resistances if Equipped Helmet, Body Armour, Gloves, and Boots all have Armour (previously stated maximum Resistances).
• Updated the description of the Spreading Strength Challenge to clarify it is completed upon fully allocating Crucible Passive Skill Trees on items with specific maximum depths.
• Improved the Crucible Forge and Crucible Passive Tree user interfaces for Controller Input mode.

Hotfixes

The following hotfixes were deployed after the 3.21.0c patch:

Hotfix

• Added a 100ms cooldown to the Twister Skill that is triggered when using the Saqawal's FlockSaqawal's Flock
  Silken HoodEvasion: (553-685)Requires Level 60, 138 DexTrigger Level 20 Twister when you gain Avian's Might or Avian's Flight
  (60-80)% increased Evasion Rating
  +(40-60) to maximum Life
  +(30-40)% to Lightning Resistance
  (10-15)% increased Movement SpeedThough we are individual, we share the same plight.
  The First of the Sky teaches us that unity and selflessness, not division and greed, is what will carry us upwards. Unique Helmet.

While we generally try to avoid mid-league balance adjustments, this skill was causing unsustainable server load and frequent crashes. We have assessed the balance of the skill with this cooldown and have found that it is still very powerful. The build that is using this skill is still capable of triggering twice as many Twisters as it could pre-Crucible, and this number goes even higher with investment into cooldown recovery and Triggerbots.
