New Combat System Improvements
- Added better power attack particle effects. The gif above is the effect for axes and swords. The hammer has a smashing ground effect.
- Added better information and image for blocking tutorial UI.
- Fixed a bug that caused monsters to stop chasing you.
- Updated the spellcaster tutorial UI to make it clear they are not affected by status effect attacks.
- Better shields now have a slower block drain, making them more effective for a bit longer.
Imbued weapons are back!
- Fire weapons have a chance of doing extra damage.
- Frost weapons have a chance to slow an enemy, making them attack a bit less often and less likely to dodge your attacks.
- Acid weapons cause damage for a short period of time. Enemies affected by this have their health bars turn green.
- Vampiric weapons have a chance to heal you a bit when doing damage to a monster.
