Hello all,

this is a smaller update which brings bugfixes, small balance improvements and a new battle quest with new game feature - "Beast taming".
There is a new 'sub-class' created - the Beastmaster, it's a version of the Hunter, but he can do more! When all conditions are set, you can tame an enemy beast to your side until the end of battle. Makes the fight a bit more fun if you'are against legions of beasts :)
