PoE 3.20: GGG has replaced the Doomsday keystone with a new Hex-themed keystone: Hex Master.
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.
