NEW

• New Boss - Verdant Terror: This new plant-themed boss will always spawn on Forest maps, and has a chance to spawn in Arena and Invasions.

Dev note: This boss is very different from existing bosses and will likely need some tweaking. It utilizes large crowd control effects, area denial, poison, and a unique lash attack that pulls the target. Please send any feedback on this boss to me in Discord and good luck.

• Neutral Dodge now initiates a quick backstep with fewer i-frames and faster recovery.

• Improved Two-Handed Melee Heavy Attack animation timings.

• New Starting Weapon Loadout - Primal: Start with two Focuses that utilize the new Primal Generator and Spender skills.

SKILL TAGS

• Primal - Skills that generate or spend Primal Charge.

• Transformation - Skills that transform your character or are granted by a transformation.

Primal Skills

All Primal skills are either Primal Charge generators or spenders. Spender skills have no weapon requirements as these are powered by your accumulated Primal Charge. Primal Charge can only be gained while in combat and caps at 100 stacks. Generators can roll randomly on gear, but Spenders must be purchased from the Skill Merchant.

Transformation Skills

Gain "Animus Lock" for three seconds after entering a transformation: "The rush of feral instincts from your recent transformation demands you hold onto this form. Cannot change form."

Instant cast spells may be cast while transformed, as long as your normal form meets the weapon requirements for the skill. This includes most buffs, Shouts, Entanglements, Auras, Toggles like Bladecrest and Bloodrage, Blinks, Consecration, Flame Dash, Phase Shift, and probably a few more. Visiting the Skill Merchant while transformed and pressing the "Current Usable" button will show you all skills usable while transformed with your current equipment. Traps cannot be cast while transformed.
