Related Patch Notes

Patch LinkDatePatch NamePatch Notes
Version 22.050.17 March 2023Beyond the Veil Patch 5
Version 20.070.15 October 2022Into the Fray Patch 7With players having adapted to the new playstyle of the reworked Grudge, its damage output was somewhat too high. This has now been toned down. The damage output of Anguished Soul was also too great, considering its utility with the Fear effect, and has been reduced accordingly.
  • Grudge (all Cursed Staffs):
    • 0 Stack Damage: 20 → 18
    • 1 Stack Damage: 25 → 22.5
    • 2 Stack Damage: 60 → 54
    • 3 Stack Damage: 100 → 90
    • 4 Stack Damage: 150 → 135
  • Anguished Soul (Demonic Staff):
    • Damage: 175 →  160
Version 20.020.15 July 2022Into the Fray Patch 2 (+ Living Legends Event)Cursed Staffs
  • Cursed Tar (all Cursed Staffs)
    • Hit Delay: 0.5s -> 0.35s
  • Grudge (all Cursed Staffs)
    • Damage after 0.0s: 10 -> 20
    • Damage after 0.5s: 20 -> 25
    • Damage after 1.0s: 40 -> 60
    • Damage after 1.5s: 70 -> 100
    • Damage after 2.0s: 120 -> 150
Version 20.000.18 June 2022Into the Fray Update
  • Cursed Staffs:
    • Demonic Staffs: Field of Death replaced with Anguished Soul, which summons a ghostly creature that fears enemies; added entirely new Q-slot Ability, Cursed Tar
    • Version 18.110.113 October 2021Call to Arms Patch 11Enfeeble Blades was a very underrepresented ability. To give it a more useful role, it has been reworked into a ground target area which purges each enemy hit. Since the Locus is now cleanse-only, Lifecurse Staff can take over the role of AoE purging in large-scale fights.
    • Enfeeble Blades (Lifecurse Staff):
      • Can now be cast at the ground and no longer requires an ally target (Blades remain on the ground area)
      • Is now a channeled ability, and the Blade area lasts for the channel duration
      • The area now also continues purging enemy buffs on every hit (doesn't purge enemy HoT)
      • Cast Range: 11m → 15m
      • Cast Time: 1s → 0.6s
      • Cast and channel are now uninterruptible
      • Area Radius: 6m → 5m
      • Area Duration: 5s → 4s
      • Damage Debuff per Stack: 5% → 4%
      • Debuff Max Stacks: 10 → 5
      • Cooldown now scales with Item Power:
        • 900 Item Power: 50s
        • 1700 Item Power: 34s
    Version 18.100.121 September 2021Call to Arms Patch 10Cursed Staffs are another top pick for the 5v5 Crystal League. With the latest buffs to Dark Matter, the ability has become very dominant in 5v5s. While we are happy to see this ability back in the meta, it currently gives Cursed Staffs a little too much burst damage, which has been toned down somewhat.
    • Dark Matter (all Cursed Staffs):
      • Damage vs Players: 78 → 73
    Version 18.060.131 May 2021Call to Arms Patch 5/6 & Hotfix 6.1Cursed Staffs

    Due to player feedback and its additional kiting potential in 1v1 situations, the range increase of Vile Curse has been reverted. The damage increase of the Haunting Screams, which was already gaining in popularity before patch 4, was slightly rolled back as well. Since the damage still cannot be reflected, it will remain threatening in bigger group fights.

    • Vile Curse (all Cursed Staffs):
      • Cast Range: 11m → 9m
    • Haunting Screams (Cursed Skull):
      • Damage per tick: 33 → 28
    Version 18.040.16 May 2021Call to Arms Patch 4 (Balance Patch)Cursed Staffs

    Various underused Cursed Staff abilities were buffed, like Dark Matter and Cursed Beam. The range of Vile Curse was increased to make it more attractive in group PvP, where currently Cursed Sickle is the go-to choice.

    Armor Piercer is a staple of Cursed Staffs, but the armor shred was a bit too strong, and added too much of a damage spike to fights alongside its long range and short cooldown.

    • Vile Curse (all Cursed Staffs):
      • Cast Range: 9m → 11m
    • Armor Piercer (all Cursed Staffs):
      • Resistance Reduction: 0.2 → 0.17
      • Debuff Duration: 5s → 4s
    • Cursed Beam (all Cursed Staffs):
      • Now consumes Vile Curse stacks for additional AoE damage per tick
      • For each tick that consumes a stack, the beam deals 72 magic damage in a 4m radius (instead of the base tick damage of 36 to only the beam target)
      • Tick Interval: 1s → 0.5s
      • Total Ticks: 5 → 10
      • Damage per Tick: 72 → 36
    • Dark Matter (all Cursed Staffs):
      • Damage vs Players: 65.88 → 78
      • Damage vs Mobs: 32.94 → 36.7
      • Cast Time: 1s → 0.5s
      • Cast Range: 11m → 13m
      • Max Jump Distance to next enemy: 8m → 9m
    • Haunting Screams (Cursed Skull):
      • Damage can no longer be reflected

    • Damage per tick: 43.88 → 25.00
    • Additional damage vs players per tick: 2% of max health → 1.2% of max health
    • Multiple areas can now be stacked again
