Skills

Aura of Decay

• Now applies poison to enemies 4 times a second (from 3).
  
• No longer grants 50% increased poison damage while active.
  
• The Seeping Wounds node grants 12% bleed chance per second (from 8%).

Black Hole

• Increased duration by 10%.
  
• Now deals damage more frequently, but deals somewhat less damage each time. This will make its damage more consistent.
  
• Now fades out when the skill ends.

Bone Golem

• Bone Golems (and their variants) deal 15% more damage and pull aggro from 6% further away. This affects the range at which enemies decide to attack the Golem over other targets, not the range at which they decide to enter combat.

Flame Ward

• Now grants 400 ward on use (from 300).

Smite

• Converting Smite to a Void skill now also converts the Fissures it creates.

Wandering Spirits

• Spectral Putrescence now grants Spirits a 40% chance to cast a projectile each second (from always casting every 2 seconds).
  
• Fixed a bug where Soul Of Filth reduced the poison interval by 10% rather than increasing the frequency by 10%, which made it somewhat stronger than intended.
