New Nodes
Three of the existing Notables on the Lich ascendancy have been replaced on the Abyssal Lich to make way for the new theme of the class.

This new Notable allows you to use Offering Skills on Monsters as long as they’re in Cull range. It also makes the buffs provided by Offering Skills apply to you instead of your Minions. Lastly, you can improve the effects of these buffs by using the Offering Skills on powerful Monsters, such as Rares or even Unique Bosses, to benefit from their heightened Monster Power.
