Version history

Version	Changes
3.25.0	No longer has Added Attack Physical Damage at all gem levels. It now has 61% Effectiveness of Base and Added Damage at gem level 1 (previously 44%), scaling up to 111% at gem level 20 (previously 59%). Now has a Mana cost of 2 at gem level 1, scaling up to 3 at gem level 20 (previously 2 at all gem levels). The following Skills no longer have the Physical tag: Blade Flurry, Blade Flurry of Incision, Cleave, Cleave of Rage, Cyclone, Cyclone of Tumult, Lancing Steel of Spraying, Perforate, Perforate of Duality, Shrapnel Ballista, Split Arrow, Sweep, Vaal Blade Flurry, Vaal Cleave, and Vaal Cyclone.
3.23.0	No longer has "First Hit deals 50% less Damage", "Gain 1 Stage every 0.3-0.2 seconds while Channelling", "Lose 1 Stage every 0.3 seconds while not Channelling, +0.1 metres to radius per Stage, or Maximum 3-6 Stages. It now has 10% increased Area of Effect per 0.1 metre additional Melee Strike Range at all gem levels (previously 8%), and a base radius of 1.6 metres (previously 1.1). Quality now provides 0-10% more Movement Speed, instead of 0-10% increased Area of Effect. Alternate quality gems, labyrinth helmet enchantments and unique threshold jewels are all systems that were trying to subtly modify the behaviour of skills. With this expansion these have been combined into a new system called Transfigured Gems that allows us to fully achieve the goal of these three systems, and then some. Transfigured Gems are alternate versions of existing skill gems that have different functionality and balance than their regular versions. We have added many of these, with interesting variations that drastically change how existing skills play. Anomalous, Divergent and Phantasmal Quality Gems have been removed from the game. Existing alternate Quality Gems now have the base Quality effect found on the respective Gem. Many Skill Gems now display their radius in metres in the Gem description.
3.22.1	Weapon Range displayed on Melee Weapons and other descriptions that use ranges with values now instead use metres. The reminder text for "Close Range" and the description of Presence range in the Character panel also now use metres.
3.15.0	Now deals 59% of Base Damage, and has 59% Effectiveness of Added Damage at gem level 20 (previously 54%).
3.13.0	Fixed a bug which prevented Cyclone's channelling speed to be affected by modifiers to Action Speed.
3.12.0	Now has alternative gem quality: Anomalous: 1% chance to Knock Enemies Back on hit (per 1% quality) Divergent: 0.25% more Movement Speed (per 1% quality) Phantasmal: 1% Chance to Avoid Interruption from Stuns While Using this Skill (per 1% quality)
3.11.0	No longer makes you immune to Stun while channelling.
3.8.0	Now has a base range of 11, rather than a range based on your weapon type. No longer gains additional radius based on Melee Range. Now gets 8% increased Area of Effect per 1 additional Melee Range. Now deals 5 to 8 added Attack Physical Damage at gem level 1 (from 10 to 15), up to 28 to 42 at gem level 20 (from 56 to 85). Now adds +1 to radius per stage (rather than +1 to melee range). You now gain 1 stage every 0.2 seconds while channelling, rather than based on your attack time. You now lose 1 stage every 0.3 seconds while not channeling (from 0.2 seconds).
3.7.0	Now a channelling skill. Now costs 2 mana at all gem levels (from 12). Now deals base damage equal to, and has an added damage effectiveness of, 44% at gem level 1 (from 45%), up to 54% at gem level 20 (from 56%). Now adds 10 to 15 physical damage to attacks at gem level 1, up to 56 to 85 at gem level 20. Now gains stages as it is channelled, up to a maximum 3 at gem level 1 and 6 at gem level 20, and loses stages every 0.2 seconds while not channelling. Now gains +1 to melee range per stage. Now has an attack speed multiplier of 300% (previously had 50% more attack speed). Modifiers to melee attack range now also apply to this skill's area radius.
3.4.0	Cyclone's additional attack range per level has been lowered, and now matches the same progression as the other attack skills, gaining additional melee weapon range every 7 levels, up to +2 at level 20 (and +3 at level 21).
3.1.0	Can no longer be supported by Ruthless SupportRuthless SupportSlam, Support, Melee, Attack, Strike Icon: u Level: (1-20) Cost & Reservation Multiplier: 120%Supports melee strike or slam skills. Every third time you use a supported attack, that use of the skill will be more powerful.Every third Attack with Supported Melee Attacks deals a Ruthless Blow Ruthless Blows with Supported Skills deal (70-98)% more Melee Damage Ruthless Blows with Supported Skills deal (70-98)% more Damage with Ailments caused by Melee Hits Ruthless Blows with Supported Skills have a base Stun Duration of 0.8 seconds Additional Effects From 1-20% Quality: Supported Skills deal (0.5-10)% increased Attack DamageThis is a Support Gem. It does not grant a bonus to your character, but to skills in sockets connected to it. Place into an item socket connected to a socket containing the Skill Gem you wish to augment. Right click to remove from a socket..
3.0.0	Cyclone's additional melee range now applies to unarmed attacks. Cyclone now also uses pathfinding to determine where the skill will take the player (as opposed to moving in a direct line). Cyclone's description has been updated. Fixed a bug where stats with the "while stationary" condition would erroneously stay active in certain cases while using Cyclone.
2.1.0	Attack skills that have their damage based on the wielded weapon have their mana costs fixed in place from level 1 onwards. There was a display bug that caused Cyclone to show the wrong DPS value and attack speed. We have fixed this bug, so you'll now notice the visual DPS almost double and the attack speed on the gem shoot up a lot. In addition, we have reduced the damage of Cyclone by around 10% and have reduced the damage of its initial hit.
2.0.0	Reduced the mana cost at all levels. It now grants 0.5% increased area of effect radius per 1% of quality (was 1% per 1% quality).
1.3.0h	Fixed a bug related to Cyclone where its stats could apply for a while after it ended.
1.3.0	Cyclone now attacks slightly slower and has an equivalent increase to damage. It now deals damage immediately when it is used, in addition to periodic damage. Cyclone no longer targets enemies, only locations.
1.2.1	We no longer treat Cyclone as a movement skill for the cases of Karui Spirits or flags in Capture the Flag.
1.2.0	This skill can no longer be supported by the Multistrike support gem.
1.0.2b	Fixed the skill tooltip damage per second display for Cyclone.
0.11.1	Melee skills with Damage Effectiveness have been changed to having a "Deals % of Base Damage" stat.
0.10.4	The damage effectiveness of Cyclone has been increased from 35% to 40%. We have also reduced the minimum distance it travels, so that you have more control. This distance is now about a third of what it was previously.
0.10.3	Cyclone has been added to the game.
