Doom Mechanics

If the Hex was self-cast, the curse will gain Doom over time. Doom increases the effectiveness of the curse (1% per Doom). Maximum Doom is capped at 30 by default. Each Hex has its own Doom counter.

Doom Passive Skill

1. Doom Cast

Doom Cast is a notable passive skill that grants increased critical strike chance and additional critical strike multiplier for spells.

• 60% increased Critical Strike Chance for Spells
• +15% to Critical Strike Multiplier for Spells

2. Doomsday

Doomsday is a keystone passive skill that modifies Hex spells. When casting the Hex spell, instead of applying the curse which gains Doom over time, the spell creates a Hexed Area for 1 second. Enemies in the Hexed Area receive the curse, and after 1 second, the Hexed Area expires and applies the maximum amount of Doom to enemies standing in it.

• Your Hex Curse Spells create a Hexed Area for 1 second if you Cast them yourself
• Enemies in the Hexed Area are Hexed, and the Hex does not expire while in the Hexed Area
• Hexes applied this way do not gain Doom over time
• Hexes in the Hexed Area gain up to maximum Doom when the Hexed Area ends

Changes to Curses

Many curses are now classified as Hexes and now use the ‘Doom’ mechanic. Self-cast Hexes build up to Doom the longer they’re active, increasing their effect.
