Skill functions and interactions

  • Casting Corrupting Fever costs life instead of mana. Spending enough life while the Corrupting Fever buff is active will refresh its duration; the spent life threshold is much lower than the cost of Corrupting Fever itself.
  • Inflicting a new stack of corrupted blood on a target will refresh the duration of all stacks currently on that target, as is common with all corruped blood mechanics.[1]
  • Hits do not need to deal damage in order to inflict corrupting blood stacks.
  • As it does only Damage Over Time, it is not affected by modifiers to Spell Damage.
  • Proxies such as Totems, Traps and Mines will not inflict corrupted blood on hit as they cannot inherit the Corrupting Fever buff from the player.[2]

The skill gem's description erroneously describes the debuff inflicted as "Corrupting Blood"; however, the Helmet Enchantment and gem quality correctly lists the debuff as Corrupted Blood, which it shares mechanics with other sources of.
