Patch	Changes
May 08, 2018	The range of this skill has been increased by 100%, and it now places its generated field on the target it strikes instead of along the skill's traveled path. The field duration increases based on how long the necromancer has been traveling. In addition, Crimson Tide is continuously cast on the targeted foe while the skill is active.
July 01, 2014	Added a skill fact for number of targets (5).
December 14, 2012	This skill is now a leap finisher, a poison field, and has its recharge reduced from 15 seconds to 12.
August 28, 2012	Game release: Foul Current has been added to the game.

Trivia

• This is one of the few skills that can combo with itself.
• While the skill does produce a self-combo, there is no actual effect because Foul Current does not actually hit anything. Thus, the Leap Finisher does not have an effect with Dark, Lightning, or Poison fields.
