Skill Fixes

• Fixed various issues where skills could be queued twice from a single skill use if you had very high attack speed.

• Fixed a bug where Righteous Fire did not split its self-damage between life and mana correctly when using Mind Over Matter.

• Fixed a bug where a single Shockwave Support gem benefitted from all support gems linked to all other Shockwave Support gems, regardless of where those gems were socketed.

Miscellaneous Fies

• Abyss Monsters that consume Spirit Charges now heal for half as much health per charge consumed. This is to account for the life increases that Rare monsters received in 3.7.0.

• Fixed a bug where the “Critical Strikes with Daggers have a 40% chance to Poison the Enemy” passive skill was not properly converted to work with Bows when using the Lioneye’s Fall unique jewel.
