[h3]Improvements:[/h3]

• Additional projectiles, projectile multiplicator and projectile spawn angle skill node is now only part of the base skill pool when the range weapon has projectiles (i.e. is excluded if you have chosen the emerald staff that summons spiders) to prevent unneccessary cluttering up of the skill tree
  
• Improvements to the spawn rules for base skills depending on what skills are selected for the skill spawn pool
  

[h3]Balancing:[/h3]

• Woodweaver Range weapon: Added +6 additional companion damage
  

[h3]New Features:[/h3]

• New Blazing Trail Skill: The burning dodge skill got reworked and renamed. Blazing Trail now lays a trail of fire behind you when dodging. The size of the fire trail can be scaled by AoE size and the damage by your condition damage.
  
  
  
  
• New Base Skill: Dodge Mastery - Increase your max dodge charges and your dodge regeneration. This skill might not be needed for all builds so it will only show up if you selected a dodge skill (or one got randomly added to the skill spawn pool). This will make it possible to build more around the dodge mechanic as you can now have more dodges and trigger your dodge attacks more frequently.

• Improved window positioning for borderless mode. You should now be able to toggle borderless window mode on your secondary monitor without the game window moving back to the primary monitor.
