Vulnerability is a hexspell that curses all targets in an area, making them take increased physical damage and granting attack hits dealt on the cursed targets a chance to apply bleed.
Cursed enemies take increased damage: Because these modifiers are an increase to the target's damage taken, they are multiplicative with attacker's damage dealt and additive with any other effects to damage taken on the defender.[1]

Vulnerability has been split into two skill gems - Vulnerability and DespairDespairSpell, AoE, Duration, Chaos, Curse, Hex Level: (1-20) Cost: (16-33) Mana Cast Time: 0.50 sec AoE Radius: 22Requires Level 24Curses all targets in an area, lowering their chaos resistance.Base duration is (8.00-11.80) seconds +(0-1) metre to radius Cursed enemies have -(15-30)% to Chaos Resistance
Additional Effects per 1% Quality: 0.5% increased Effect of CursePlace into an item socket of the right colour to gain this skill. Right click to remove from a socket.. Vulnerability is now a Strength gem, focused on Physical Damage, Bleed and Maim.
Mana cost reduced at all levels. Area of effect increases per gem level reduced, but the base area of effect has been increased by 37.5% (from 16 to 22). Normalised the increased duration per gem level.
In addition to the general curse reduction, Vulnerability no longer affects Energy Shield. The Energy Shield Recharge Delay Increase and Energy Shield Recharge Rate Reduction stats have been removed. In addition, the Increased Chance to be Stunned and Reduced Enemy Stun Recovery stats have been removed as well. Vulnerability now only increases physical damage and degeneration damage.
Physical damage taken changed from "more" to "increased". [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
Added new skill prototype - "Vulnerability": Curses all targets in an area, making them take increased damage from physical attacks and degeneration, and easier to stun. The target's energy shield will regenerate more slowly.
