A Fire Inside
Talent replacing Unleashed Power: Immolation Aura gains a second charge and each cast has a 20% chance to refund its charge; every cast is a separate Immolation Aura buff (up to 3 at once) that stores 8% of all Fire damage dealt while active and explodes for the stored amount on expiry.
Ravenous Blades
Legion support payload for Demon Blades: Demon Blades generates 4 additional Fury per successful auto attack.
Lingering Demon

Demon's Bite

Damage reduction; small part of Chaos damage dealt heals self while active.
