Debuffs can now be partially resisted

Sleep and petrify debuffs now interrupt any abilities being cast.

Models & animation
Changed animations for some bandit enemies

Enemy AI
Ranged enemies now generally use at least 1 basic attack before using skills at start of combat (so there’s a bit of time to react before everyone gets blown apart by ranged nukes)

Added a bit of randomness to skill usage; enemies don’t always use skills when ready.

Additionally they sometimes use lower priority skills when higher priority ones are available.

Enemies learned how to use sustained modes.

Enemies now have some idea on how to target AoE abilities: hit many enemies, don’t hit allies.

This also affects heroes, so auto-casting skills like fireball works better than before.

Pathfinding
Going up/downhill now works better

Heroes
Shaper melee weapons changed to work similarly to other heroes, instead of being a sustained mode.

Enemy skills

Focus Fire:

Effects
A few effects now use inverse light (which removes light from surroundings instead of adding it)

Level load and dialog end now trigger a brief delay before player can do anything (to avoid accidentally pausing by pressing space etc.)

Most UI elements now scale down on low resolutions to fit screen. The game should now be playable on resolutions as low as 640x480

Updated floating text for damage & healing, added special effect for critical hits.

A floating text is shown when a new status effect is applied

Gameplay
Increased mana and health regeneration outside combat

Enemies now have a level. Each level increases max health and damage by a set amount, stacking multiplicatively.

Attributes
Removed a bunch of modifier bonuses from strength, dexterity and magic

Each of them gives scaling for appropriate weapons (via Str Power, Dex Power and Magic Power).

Attunement: new attribute which increases mana maximum and regeneration.

All heroes now have same base health, base mana and regenerations.

Skills
Added a global cooldown shared between offensive abilities and basic attacks.

(this allows for more powerful abilities as they can’t be chained between basic attacks)

New skill type: Damage Zone

Hits all enemies within a circular zone once per 0.5 seconds.
Can also be used for slow/debuff zones
Used in a new Sorcerer spell called Gravity Zone (which creates a slowing zone for 10 seconds).
Removed screenshake from non-damaging abilities.

Modified code for some buff abilities to make them more consistent with other support skills.

Support skills: added targeting type ‘All allies within range’, which can be used for AoE healing, group buffing etc.

Support skills can now use projectiles (effect is applied when projectile hits target)

Passive abilities can now have conditions, such as weapon type requirements, window after damage taken etc.

Used in a new Warrior passive ability Blood Frenzy, which increases attack speed after taking damage.
Passive/sustained abilities can now also trigger ability effects (e.g. trigger a heal when doing damage, retaliate with a projectile when taking damage)

Ranged single-target abilities now check for hit at projectile launch, instead of projectile hit. If missing, the direction is slightly off and projectile doesn’t home towards target.

(It was disappointing to see projectiles home in on a target and then simply pass through on miss).

Adjusted in most levels

Weapons
Weapons now have a base power and scaling with Strength, Magic and/or Dexterity

Scalings are displayed in the description.

Scaling for a weapon benefiting only from one stat is usually x1.0 (stat:power ratio of 1:1).
