Item	Description

Version history

Version	Changes
0.3.0	Rain of Arrows: Quality now provides Arrows fall 0-20% faster, instead of Fires +0-10 Projectiles.
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. Rain of Arrows' arrow landing frequency is now affected by projectile speed modifiers, meaning that (for example) increased projectile speed causes the same number of arrows to land in a shorter total time.
0.1.0d	Rain of Arrows and Firestorm now have a hit-rate limit to prevent cases of them absolutely obliterating very large bosses. This will have little to no impact outside of boss fights with very large hitboxes.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
