  • Poisonous Cloud was removed as a player spell in 0.20. The player version was smite-targeted and could be used in conjunction with various other tactics (such as casting Ignite Poison).
  • In 0.19 poison clouds created by the player vanish instantly when out of LoS.
  • In 0.14 this spell won't be able to place clouds outside of the caster's LoS. Dissipation time for out of LoS clouds is unchanged.
  • Originally a L6 spell, around the time of 0.7 this spell was lowered a level. However, it was subsequently returned to L6 when it was realized that it was overpowered at L5.
