Development
Passive skills have had a long and storied history. When Diablo III debuted at the WWI 2008, skill trees included passive skills, much like in Diablo II. In 2010, it was announced that passive skills had been renamed traits and separated out from active skills. At the July 2011 Press Event, Blizzard announced that passive skills were once again in the game, replacing the traits system.
Like many passive skills, Spirit Vessel was moved directly from a trait of the same name when traits were changed back to passive skills in early 2011. Neither the name nor the function changed, though the stats may have been tweaked slightly.
Spirit Vessel (level 6 passive) was removed from the game prior to the beta launch but was later added back into the game as a level 20 passive with a complete redesign. Old effect:
Effect: Health globes provide 10% of maximum mana when picked up.
Here are older versions of Spirit Vessel:
- Spirit Vessel (skill) - The original passive skill.
- Spirit Vessel (trait) - As a trait.
See the traits page for more details on previous versions of this and many other passive skills.
