Version history

Version	Changes
0.3.0	Siphoning Strike: Shockwave now takes size of monsters into account. Quality now provides 0-50% chance to Daze on Hit, instead of 0-40% more Stun Buildup.
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. Siphoning Strike's shockwave radius is now 2 metres (previously 1.8).
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
