New 2H Axe Skill - Bane Strike, New Passives

New 2H Axe Skill - Bane Strike: Strike all enemies in range for 150% weapon damage. Applies Bane to all targets, causing them to take 30% more damage from you for 5 seconds.

New Passives: Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence
Each talent tree now has 1 additional Passive Stat available

1 Strength = 2% Melee Damage, 6 Health, 5 Stamina
1 Dexterity = 1% Critical Strike Chance, 5 Stamina, 1 Stamina Regen
1 Intelligence = 2% Spell Damage, 6 Mana, .6 Mana Regen

Ehtiras Tree - Max Health, Stamina, and Mana passives have been replaced with Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence
Orias - Max Health removed, Strength and Dexterity added

If you had any points allocated to a removed passive, you talents will automatically reset.


Dev Notes: Everyone is a winner from the additional passives change, but Ehtiras in particular now has access to significantly more damage and other relevant stats than before. Axes were lacking as much flavor and effectiveness as Swords and Maces; Bane Strike should be a solid equalizer.

Savage Strike Rework, Camera Improvement, Bestow Projectiles Ignore Minions

Savage Strike Rework
Strike all enemies in range for 200% primary weapon damage and applies a guaranteed hitstun.
Now requires a 1 or 2-Handed Mace or Axe equipped.

The camera will now smoothly (but quickly) follow the player to Blink locations.
Bestow projectiles now ignore minions.
Fixed some issues with stash inventory.

Stash Tab Update

Your stash will now automatically create 1 stash tab for every 30 slots you have available. These tabs can be renamed by right-clicking the tab. You can scroll through the list of tabs by middle mouse scrolling or right-clicking to grab and move the list.

You can now buy an infinite amount of stash space for 500,000 gold per 15 slots. These new slots will continue to make new customizable tabs.
