Version history

Version Changes
0.2.0
  • Many Skills have had their base damage and/or damage growth per level rebalanced. Most of these changes are not specifically mentioned below as the changes are too widespread.
  • Wind Dancer now grants 10% more Evasion Rating per stage at all Gem levels (previously 15-19% at Gem levels 4-20), and gains a Stage every 1.44 to 1.12 seconds at Gem levels 4-20 (previously 1.5 to 1.3 seconds). Gale Force now deals 53-163% of Attack Damage at Gem levels 4-20 (previously 40-125%), and now uses the Critical Hit chance of your main-hand weapon instead of having a baseline 5% Critical Hit chance. Wind Dancer stages are now consumed on being Hit by an Enemy, instead of from a Melee Attack. Wind Dancer's stage gain timer is no longer interrupted when you are hit. Quality now provides +0 to 0.4 metres to Explosion Radius (previously +0-1 to Maximum Stages).
  • Wind Dancer's Gale Force has had the Knockback distance reduced.
  • Added Staged tag. [Undocumented]
0.1.0
