Changelog

2.0.1

Tooltips

• Mid amplifier nodes (e.g. Ironhide, Packhorse) now show their actual live bonus value and how many contributing talents feed it, instead of a static "+100%" — and the row blinks blue while you have an unapplied change staged for it
• Reflect's tooltip now correctly says it needs a perfect parry, not just a block, to trigger

Bulwark

• Fixed Ironclad being reachable directly from Iron Skin — the Spine minor between them is now the actual connection, as intended

UI

• Fixed sector labels overlapping the outermost talent nodes when zoomed far out

2.0.0

The entire talent tree has been redesigned

This isn't a tweak — every sector was rebuilt from the ground up so builds actually feel different from each other: less of a straight line, more paths and choices to explore. Your learned ranks carry over automatically wherever the path still matches; anything that doesn't gets re-granted as free points to respend.

• New middle tier nodes between Minor and Keystone talents (2 points)
• All sectors now have the same amount of nodes — minors overall increased, 5 new mids per sector added, and every sector has the same number of majors - new talents as below

Talent points

• Boss kills now grant 5 bonus talent points on top of levelling
• Minor talents cost 1 point per rank instead of 2
• Majors talents cost 3 points per rank instead of 2
• Prestige now resets your talent-point budget along with your build, like Rebirth already did, instead of keeping it floored at level 100 — the old floor let a prestiged respec come back at full strength instantly

Plan your build before spending points

• Clicking a talent now stages it instead of spending instantly — nothing is committed until you hit Apply, which confirms how many points you're about to spend; Reset discards the plan without spending anything
• Shift+click stages every remaining rank at once; Ctrl+click unstages it - so you can readjust build crafts more easily
• Staged-but-not-applied talents are visually distinct from already-learned ones, and their tooltip previews the staged numbers
• When the tooltip is open, you can hold ctrl and the button will change to deselect so you can also reduce the drafted rank by 1

Talent window

• New key hint bar at the bottom of the screen (click / Shift+click / Ctrl+click / zoom) for easier understanding
• Smaller window overall
• Available points and node costs now shown as a badge instead of key value text
• Window title now shown in orange
• Enabled zoom

Healthbar UI

• Active talent buffs/debuffs now show as small icons above health bars in-world (yours and others'), separately toggleable and configurable for creatures, players, and bosses - long term I will probably add vfxs but time is limited

Tooltip layout

• Overall some major tweaks to the tooltip to make more intuitive and easy to read
• Cooldown, duration, and rebindable keys now show as their own tooltip lines instead of being buried in the description
• Descriptions no longer restate numbers that already have their own stat line

New talents

• Valkyrie — Weapon Flow: swapping between melee and ranged empowers your next hits for 3 seconds (heavy knockback on ranged, bonus stagger + armor penetration on melee). Same pacing as Weapon Swap, works standalone
• Warcaller — Demoralize: your hit marks a target for 10 seconds, weakening its own damage output against everyone. Doesn't refresh on a repeat hit — you have to let it fully wear off so you can do other stuff in the meantime
• Bulwark — Battle Hardened: the more enemies are near you, the harder you are to stagger — pairs well with Warden pulling a crowd onto you
• Hunter — Explosive Shot: rebindable toggle (default G) — while active, firing a bow or crossbow also consumes and detonates a bomb from your inventory(always the bomb that positioned in the highest slot)

Talent balance

• Perfect dodges no longer refund stamina by default — this affects everyone, not just Evasion
• Evasion — completely reworked: was a flat stamina discount, is now a rank-scaled refund of a perfect dodge's stamina cost (0% → 20/35/50%)
• Feint — Damage: 25/40/55% → 20/40/60%
• Quiver Economy — Ammo save chance: 10/20/30% → 10/25/40%
• Battle Rhythm — Stamina return: 2/4/6% → 3/6/9%
• Savage — Proc chance: flat 25% → 20/30/40/50%; Damage: 25/50/75/100% → 20/30/40/50%
• Warden — Duration: 5s → 10s; Heal per hit: 6/7/8% → 4/6/8%; now only triggers on blocked hits
• Frost Emperor — Aura range: 8m → 15m
• Triumph — Cooldown: 15s → 20s
• Weapon Swap — Cooldown: 15s → 20s; now also grants movement speed
• Shield Charge — Dash duration: 2.5s → 3s
• Hit and Run — Buff duration: 1.5s → 2s
• Last Bastion — Invulnerability: flat 3s → 3/4/5s by rank
• Lethal Patience — Charge time now shrinks with rank (10/8/6s) instead of growing
• Double Shot / Triple Shot — extra arrows now cost ammo instead of being free
• Fewer ranks needed to reach the same max bonus, bigger jump per rank: Ironclad 5→4, Iron Skin 4→3, Focus 5→3, Battle Waltz 5→4, Seafarer 4→3, Lifeline 5→3, Necromancer 4→3

Keybinds

• Talents with an activation key (Hawk Eye, Warden, Explosive Shot) can now be rebound in the config file, or the in-game config manager if you have one installed, instead of being stuck on a fixed key

Bugfixes

• A handful of talents were secretly stronger, weaker, or timed differently than their tooltip claimed (leftovers from pre-release reworks): Riposte, Last Bastion (heal), Master at Arms, Focus, Execution, Immolation, and Overwhelm all did more than their tooltip claimed; Axe Mastery's rank 1 did less; the timing shown for Hamstring, Revenge, and Duel Series didn't match their actual duration either. All now match reality — the one genuine nerf hiding in this list is Hamstring's armor reduction, which actually was stronger than shown and is now brought down to match what the tooltip always said
• Fixed a bug affecting talents that had moved to a different ring in an update: their learned ranks reset on every single character load, not just once — for some players since 1.0.6, this meant re-spending points in Valkyrie's Battle Rhythm every time they loaded in(and all talents that were dependant on that talent)
• Abilities with a cooldown showed the cooldown while their effect was still running — they now show the active effect first and only start the cooldown once it ends; Last Bastion also no longer occupies two status-bar slots for its full 10-minute cooldown

1.0.6

• refined Russian localization
• Stats button now resizes to fit its label on language switch instead of using a fixed width

1.0.5

• added Russian localization
• the 6 sector names (Bulwark, Warrior, Berserker, Valkyrie, Hunter, Warcaller) are now translated in German and Russian instead of always showing in English
• fixed the Unlock button (and sector names) not refreshing to the correct text when switching language mid-session, previously required a restart
• fixed Axe Mastery's stamina cost reduction showing with a misleading "+" instead of "-"
• fixed several German talent names (mostly Hunter) that were still shown in English
• spelled out "HP"/"LP" in the stats panel for consistency

1.0.4

• fixed the mod's internal version number not being updated in the 1.0.3 release

1.0.3

• fixed Even Ground (and other passive talent bonuses) sometimes not re-applying correctly after dying and respawning
• fixed Warrior's Triumph sometimes not healing you in multiplayer, even when you personally had the talent and landed the killing blow
• fixed Berserker's Overwhelm sometimes not healing you in multiplayer, even when you personally had the talent and triggered the stagger

1.0.2

1.0.1

• added missing localizations folder

1.0.0
