- Fixed a bug where various weapon effects were not visible when applied to wands, daggers and claws that had the Harlequin Weapon Skin applied to them.

- Fixed a bug where your Auras could be disabled when a summoned Carrion Golem died.
- Fixed a bug where the Mana Multiplier from High-Impact Mine Support or Blastchain Mine Support could affect curses supported by Blasphemy Support if it was linked after the Curse aura was cast. The curse aura will now turn off if a Support Gem is linked which prevents you from using the skill as an aura on yourself.
- Fixed a bug where desync would occur if you were using Cyclone while it was socketed in an item as an Incubator attached to that item reached its kill threshold.

- Fixed a bug where you would be unable to build Towers if you had right-clicked on a Tower while holding left-click on it as well.
- Fixed a bug where monsters that spawned from Cold, Lightning and Physical lanes had the wrong description with regards to what type of Towers they were resistant to. This was a description issue only.
- Fixed a bug where Blight Towers could sometimes persist after an encounter ends if that Tower was being built or upgraded when the encounter ended.
- Fixed a bug where the additional meteors created by the “Your Meteor Towers drop an additional Meteor” ring enchantment modifier were too tightly clumped together, making it difficult to discern the additional meteors.
- Fixed a bug where the “Your Flamethrower Towers deal full damage to Fire Enemies” and “Your Shock Nova Towers deal full damage to Lightning Enemies” ring enchantment modifiers did not work.
- Fixed a bug where Anointed Notables did not count towards the Inspired Learning unique jewel’s allocated Notable requirement.

- Fixed a bug where Cobra Lash and Venom Gyre did not alternate hands for attacks while dual-wielding.
- Fixed a bug where the “8% more Damage per Non-Golem Minion near them” buff from Carrion Golems did not persist after changing areas. Fixed a bug where this buff was checking for Non-Golem Minions near the player, rather than the Carrion Golem. Fixed a bug where this buff was stacking for each Carrion Golem summoned (though this did not bypass the 80% cap).
- Fixed a bug where Celestial Raised Zombies had a longer Slam cooldown than default Raised Zombies.
- Fixed a bug where Raised Mummies did not submerge after dying.
- Fixed a bug where Shockwave Support, when socketed into an item that granted a skill, would create a secondary Shockwave skill that would be triggered on alternating Melee Hits (respecting the cooldown of Shockwave). This secondary Shockwave would be supported by all socketed support gems, even if they weren’t linked.

- Fixed a bug where transforming an Amulet into a Talisman removed its Anointed Notable passive.

- Updated the description text underneath Vagan, Victory’s Herald on the Betrayal Board to match his new rewards.
