Potions update! Potions are now split to 3 tiers, instead of just one potion type per resource.
Added
- General
- When every monster on a floor is dead and you have seen the stairs down, the line under the minimap becomes a "Go down to floor N" button that takes the stairs from anywhere; until you have seen them it says "Find the stairs down".
- Dragging an item from the bag or belt out of the panel onto the dark area around it now drops the item.
- Rejuvenation potions restore 35% of your life and mana, and full rejuvenation potions all of both; they are found in the dungeon and not sold.
- Lights near water now show as reflections on it.
- Priest
- Added Radiance, a level 13 skill after Holy Persuasion: it heals you or an ally within 5 tiles for 7-16 life (+25% per rank) and deals the same amount as holy damage to every monster next to the one healed. Costs 40 mana, 4-turn cooldown.
- Added Slow Burn, a trait path for Radiance: Radiance heals and hurts over 5 turns, stacks up to 3 times on a target and has no cooldown.
- Added Bond of Light, a trait path for Radiance: Radiance cast on an ally binds you to it for 5 turns, and the ally also gets every heal you get.
- Shaman
- Added Sure Strike, a level 5 passive: +10% chance to hit (+2% per rank), your chance to hit can go up to 100%, and every 2% past 100% gives +1% critical hit chance.
- Added Storm Ride, a level 17 skill after Crackling Sparks: you travel as lightning in a straight line up to 8 tiles, and each monster you pass through takes 3-5 lightning damage (+25% per rank) for each tile you travelled before reaching it. Costs 6% of your maximum mana plus 5 mana for each tile travelled.
- Added Hot Hand, a trait path for Sure Strike: a critical hit with a weapon attack gives 3 charges, and each plain attack uses one to take 10% less time.
- Added Lucky Charm, a trait path for Sure Strike: weapon attacks roll their damage, critical hits and other chances twice and use the better roll.
- Added Afterspark, a trait path for Storm Ride: after Storm Ride, your next hit sets off a burst that hurts and chills the target and every monster next to it.
- Added Carried Away, a trait path for Storm Ride: the first monster you pass through is carried along and set down next to where you stop.
- The Shaman's skills page is laid out again to fit the two new skills.
Changed
- General
- Every flat mana number is now five times what it was: mana from levels and Intelligence, mana on gear, mana potions, mana regeneration and skill costs.
- Skill mana costs now rise by 2 at every rank instead of by 5 every 3 ranks.
- Skill damage now rises at every rank; no two ranks of a skill deal the same damage.
- Mana on items you already have is raised to match the new numbers.
- Blood Magic, Energy Shield, Havoc Mage, Overdraw, Spellguard and Heat Sink now trade 5 mana where they traded 1, so they are as strong as before.
- Life steal now works on spell hits at half the rate; weapon hits keep the full rate, and mana steal still works on weapon hits only.
- Healing and mana potions now come in three tiers that restore a fixed amount instead of 40% of your maximum: Lesser, Greater and Grand healing potions restore 50, 150 and 450 life, and mana potions 150, 400 and 1,000 mana.
- Potions now cost a fixed 25, 120 and 600 gold by tier instead of a price that rose with each floor.
- Greater potions go on sale once any of your heroes has reached act 2, and Grand potions act 4.
- Floors now drop potions of their act's tier and the tier below.
- Full healing and full mana potions are removed; those you carried become full rejuvenation potions.
- The merchant's wares are now laid out in a grid like the bag's, with each price in the item's tooltip.
- Potion tiers not yet on sale are shown faded at the merchant, and their tooltip gives the price and the act that puts them on sale.
- Town portal scrolls at the merchant now say that every boss you kill lets you buy 1 more scroll.
- The hero's light in the dungeon is now a warmer lantern, and a torch's light shows inside it.
- Torches now burn green in act 3, icy pale in act 4 and hotter in act 5, with embers to match.
- Lava now has drifting crust and casts less red light on the rock around it.
- Shadows cast by the hero's lantern are now longer and darker.
- The light caught on the edges of figures facing a light is now much fainter.
- Big spells such as Meteor no longer wash the screen out with light and glow.
- Gameplay data, if you agreed to send it, now includes how much damage each skill dealt.
- Items
- Wand cast speed increased from 10% to 30%, and the Grim wand's from 15% to 35%.
- Warrior
- Unbreakable can now trigger once every 40 turns at rank 1, down to once every 33 turns at rank 10, instead of once every 40 turns at every rank.
- Ranger
- Driving Wind cooldown changed from 12 turns at every rank to 15 turns at rank 1, down to 8 turns at rank 10.
- Rogue

- Mage
- Teleport mana cost now drops by 4 at every rank, from 50 at rank 1 to 14 at rank 10.

- Sanctuary cooldown changed from 25 turns at every rank to 25 turns at rank 1, down to 19 turns at rank 10.
- Martyr's Grace cooldown changed from 30 turns at every rank to 30 turns at rank 1, down to 23 turns at rank 10.
- Warlock
- Terror cooldown changed from 15 turns at every rank to 15 turns at rank 1, down to 9 turns at rank 10.
Fixed
- General
- Comparing gear no longer lists another item's bonuses as losses when taking an item off would leave that other item's requirement unmet; the comparison now shows which gear stops working and why, apart from the item's own changes.
