[h2]Looking at a New Skill, Surge, Coming in Patch 0.8.1[/h2]

In Patch 0.8.1 we’ll be removing the Mage skill Fire Shield. In the same update, we’ll be adding a new skill called Surge to the Spellblade’s arsenal. Let’s see what Surge is all about!

[h2]We're Updating the Character Selection Screen in Patch 0.8.1![/h2]

Starting in Patch 0.8.1, your characters will show their currently equipped gear when clicked on in the character selection screen! We’ll be releasing Patch 0.8.1 later this month.


Dual wielders represent!


This change should make it more convenient to tell your characters apart straight away, which will gradually get even easier as we continue to add additional 3d models for equipment.


Don’t they look amaging?


We plan to update the appearance of the character selection screen itself in a later update.

[h2]Another Phase 4 Item Approaches: Tooltip DPS![/h2]

One of the most commonly requested items from our Early Access Forecast, Tooltip DPS is coming soon to a video game near you! Today we’ve prepared a few early looks at our updated tooltips. In addition to incorporating more information into them, we’ve taken the opportunity to drastically improve the appearance of our skill tooltips.


We know that a lot of you like to Spin to Win™, so we’ll be focusing on Warpath.

Here’s a look at how Warpath’s tooltip is currently expected to be in Patch 0.8.1;




Been a while since you've played? Click here to see Warpath's tooltip as of 0.8d;

Our new tooltips pack different pieces of information into seperate sections, which makes quickly scanning them to find a specific detail quicker and more convenient. We’ve also invested more time into their design to bring them up to the level of our item tooltips.

Sticking with Warpath, let’s hold down the Alt key in Patch 0.8.1;

Just as is currently possible, in Patch 0.8.1 you’ll be able to hold down the Alt key to see more details that aren’t visible by default. This, too, should be clearer due to both our new tooltip layout as well as each relevant attribute showing by how much they increase your damage.

We hope you’re looking forward to Patch 0.8.1 as much as we are! ːsteamhappyː

To start 2021 with a 💥, Patch 0.8.1 will introduce significant itemization changes!

Among these will be new modifiers which raise the maximum level of skills. These modifiers will be available on a range of item rarities.

Here are previews of an upcoming unique and a class-specific piece of rare gear;





Please note these are in the design phase and may be subject to additional balance passes.

Hey Travelers!
