Big damage numbers are fun, sure, but slapping a bunch of damage-over-time effects on your foes and watching them wilt has its allure too. Remnant 2's new archetype, the Ritualist, will let you do just that, and it'll be arriving alongside the game's first DLC next week.
The full trailer dropped on the game's official YouTube channel yesterday, giving us a look at the archetype's main traits and abilities. Its «Prime Perk», Vile, introduces a status effect called «Infected», which boosts the status effect damage received by your target and turns them into an exploding biohazard when they die, spreading everything they had to their mates within 15 metres.
The archetype's skills look interesting, too: Eruption causes nearby enemies to… well, erupt, dealing bonus damage based on how many status effects they've plagued by. Death Wish turns you into a blaze of glory, draining three times your health over the course of 20 seconds—but, you also gain a bunch of lifesteal and a massive boost to your damage.
My favourite by far is Miasma, a big AoE which sets your enemies on fire, melts them with acid, shocks them, and makes them bleed all at once.
What's more, Ben Cureton, the game's Principal Designer, also casually dropped a tweet with a full list of traits so players can get theorycrafting over the weekend.
The traits jibe with the archetype's engine of spreading status effects. One even gives you a new effect to play with, Terrified, which makes enemies deal 5% less damage. Also, they drop ammo more often, somehow. I can only assume they hurl their bullet boxes to the ground in fear before melting from all the acid, fire, and electricity you've hexed them with.
The Ritualist will arrive with The Awakened King DLC next week November 14—and I'm looking forward to having a tinker, as well as figuring out what bizarre hoops I'll need to jump through to unlock it. Last time I had to get grabbed by a big rat to get an alchemist's stone. Fun times.

Reddit Inc. is again holding talks with potential investors for an initial public offering for the social media company, according to people familiar with the matter, as hopefuls prepare for a long-awaited reopening of the market for new listings. The San Francisco-based firm, whose users helped fuel the meme-stock frenzy that made 2021 a banner year for equities, is weighing an IPO as soon as in the first quarter, the people said. Reddit was working with Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. on the listing, Bloomberg News reported last year, and was considering a valuation of as much as $15 billion.
With the RWF over, Blizzard has announced upcoming class tuning on the Weekly Reset which includes buffs to Frost DK, Shadow Priest and more!
Yesterday, a massive sunspot spanning 200,000 kilometers containing as many as 12 dark cores was reported on the Sun. As per information from the NASA Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO), there was a high chance that it could explode at any moment, and that is exactly what happened just an hour ago. An M-class solar flare was seen erupting on the sunspot, whose extreme ultraviolet radiation sparked a short-wave radio blackout on the Earth. While NASA has not been able to confirm the presence of any Earth-bound coronal mass ejection (CME), this information should be revealed in a few hours' time.
Blizzard has posted the first Patch 10.2.5 PTR development notes which includes class tuning, new content and more!
With Patch 10.2 already live and Season 3 starting this week, it is a good moment to highlight our Demon Hunter class guides. Both Havoc and Vengeance received substantial change with Patch 10.2 and both currently are among the most promising specs in the new season.
Blizzard refuses to say what new class is coming to Diablo 4 when its first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, launches late next year. But datamined text from a leaked build of the game makes it pretty clear what it will be.
Blizzard knew that its controversial new augmentation evokers—the first support class ever in World of Warcraft—were going to be overpowered. That choice was «deliberate,» the game's director told us in a BlizzCon interview, although he added that «obviously they came out the gates too strong.»
