Greetings hunters, this update is mainly focused on combat in an attempt to make your hunts faster, smoother and more enjoyable. It also has a bunch of random goodies which you can see below.

Also thanks for the reports in the performance thread, we were able to find and resolve a fill rate issue with shadowbeast, which optimized them by ~40%!

Note: for veteran players, time your dodges a bit later than you're used to ;)
