Hi everyone !

After the release of patch 0.3.0 last week, which added a host of new features like the passive skill tree and housing, the team decided to follow up with patch 0.3.1 this week.
We listened to the community’s feedback and made some changes to the passive skills tree, and added new skills too.

Brutal Strike makes a return in a completely new form, and players will be able to spin around thanks to the new Whirlwind spell.

And of course, you can expect the usual bug fixes and various balance changes.

Finally, there is a chance you could encounter some orange-headed enemies in the randomly regenerated dungeons…

Here is the complete changelog, have fun and happy halloween !

PASSIVE SKILLS :

* Fixed: Crash occurring with Elemental Storms
|
Arcanist
* New: Mystical Shield has been removed and replaced by a new skill, Volatile Nature, which increases your Physical Resistance when your Umbra is empty and your Spell Damage when your Umbra is full. We think this suits better the Arcanist Gameplay, where Umbra quickly jumps from Full to Empty in a few seconds.
* Modified: Reduced Efficiency of Battle-Ready and Magical Affinity
|
Guardian
* New: Protective Gear skill, which increases your Armor Efficiency (very important stat for Guardians which wasn’t present in the Tree yet).
* New: Leech skill, which heal you from the Thorns damage you inflict. That was missing since there was no healing skill in this Tree for those who didn’t want to follow Guardian with Warden and its Health Regeneration skills.
* New: Determination skill, which increases your Physical Resistance when holding a Charged attack, and even more if it’s the Blocking attack of the Shield.
* Modified: Provocation, Mirror Shield, Guard Point and Guard Proficiency moved away from the central path.
* Modified: Constitution bonus from Mirror Shield has been moved to Guard Mastery.
* Modified: Reduced efficiency of Mirror Shield.
* Fixed : Resolute Stance wasn’t working.
|
Thief
* New: Time-Slowing Leap skill, which reduces the costs of your Spells (Rage and Umbra) during a short moment after performing a Dodge-Roll. This creates a bridge for the ones who use this Tree with a very offensive Dodge-roll for mobility and power. Its position also creates an alternative central path for those who don’t want to invest in Stamina Regeneration.
* Modified: Swapped Extinguisher and Invincible for a less specific central path.
|
Legionary
* New: Weaponizer skill, which increases your Physical Damage. Because there’s never too much Damage. Plus, this moves the Rage Generation skill away from the central path.
* New: Melee Lunge skill, which increases the hitting range of all your Melee weapons.
* Modified: Swapped Unfair Fight and Temper for a less specific central path.
* Modified: Strength bonus from Rage Generation has been moved to Weaponizer.
* Modified: Increased duration of Wrath.
* Modified: Anger Burst moved away from the central path.
* Modified: Rush moved and easier to reach.
|
Hunter
* New: Enhanced Reflex skill, which increases the amount of Crit Chance you normally gain from your total Dexterity.
* New: One Shot skill, which gives a small chance to all your Critical Strikes to Insta-kill common enemies. Yeah, that’s right.
* New: Dishonor skill, which increases your Critical Chance against those who don’t target you, which we think will be great with the not-implemented-yet “Pets” branch of the Hunter section.
* New: Recovery skill, which increases your Health Regeneration when you’re not fighting. This allows you to retreat and quickly heal when you’re in immediate Danger, or fully recover between fights, a little healing capacity that was cruelly missing for the Hunter.
* New: Head Hunter skill, which increases your Attack Speed, Spellcasting Speed and Movement Speed when killing an elite monster.
* Modified: Reduced Crit Chance of Precise Shots
* Modified: Aggravated Shots, Precise Shots, Light Armor Mastery, Bow mastery and Crossbow Mastery moved away from the central path.
* Modified: Shooter becomes Keen Eye and works also for Non-ranged weapons, but with a lower bonus.
* Modified: Incapacitating Shots becomes Incapacitating Strikes and works also for Non-ranged weapons, but with a lower bonus.
* Modified: Quick Aim becomes Quick Targeting and works also for Non-ranged weapons, but with a lower bonus.
* Modified: Steady Aim is no longer a mandatory skill.
