We have deployed v1.4.6, a surgical update that brings the Demon Hunter's Smoke Screen skill to 100% mechanical accuracy. This patch replaces legacy placeholders with true gameplay immunity, proper movement speed scaling, and a flawless state restoration path.
Demon Hunter Skill Tuning
- True Smoke Screen Immunity: while Smoke Screen is active, your character now gains genuine full protection. The server accurately applies absolute immunity, invulnerability (Gethit_Immune), and renders the hero completely untargetable by enemies.
- Shift / Displacement Rune Fix: implemented the real movement speed scaling for this rune. It now correctly grants a +100% total movement speed boost (calculated as +15% skill baseline plus +85% from the rune modifier) for the entire duration of the buff.
- Clean State Restoration: overhauled the buff expiration logic. When Smoke Screen ends, the server cleanly reverts your character's stats to their exact previous values without wiping out or interfering with other active buffs, passives, or speed checks.
Expected gameplay impact
- Flawless Tactical Escapes: Demon Hunters can now reliably use Smoke Screen to break crowd control, drop enemy aggro, and reposition with a massive, responsive speed burst.
- Zero State Corruptions: your attributes, stealth status, and general targetability will always return to normal precisely when the skill's duration expires.
If you notice instability, please report hero name, zone, UTC time, and whether .offline was active in Support.
