0.2.0e	Tornado Shot now has a maximum Tornado duration of 15 seconds at all Gem levels (previously 7-7.9 at Gem levels 11-20).
0.2.0	Many Skills have had their base damage and/or damage growth per level rebalanced. Most of these changes are not specifically mentioned below as the changes are too widespread. The mana cost for all Attacks, Marks and Warcries has been reduced, most notably at higher Gem levels. Tornado Shot's splitting effect now also applies to thrown Spears.
0.1.0e	Tornado Shot's Damage over Time has been adjusted, it is now slightly higher at Lower Levels, and substantially lower at Higher Levels. The intention of this ability was to propagate your other Bow skills, as opposed to doing an immense amount of damage itself.
