Version history

Version	Changes
0.3.0	Storm Wave: Now additionally hits targets slightly to either side of your character. Fixed a bug where you could change your targeting direction at any time while using Storm Wave rather than only at the beginning of the skill.
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. Storm Wave now has 100% more chance to Shock.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
