Patch history

7 changes
0.3.0b
Direct change

Fixed a bug where Whirling Slash's travel distance could no longer change based on your attack speed.

0.2.0h
Direct change

Fixed a bug where the intended lockout period for using another skill immediately after cancelling a partially completed skill did not apply if the cancelled skill was Rake or Whirling Slash. This bug also affects many other melee attacks, but we are only fixing the most egregious cases immediately in order to avoid potential unintended nerfs or disruption to gameplay fluidity. The remaining fixes will be deployed at a later date, when we are certain any negative side effects have been addressed.

0.2.0f
Direct change

Fixed a bug where Storms created by Whirling Slash visually remained when the Gem was levelled up.

0.4.0
Direct change

Added [Wind] type to the following Skills: Twister, Whirling Slash, Wind Blast, Wing Blast, Whirlwind Lance, Wind Serpent's Fury, Tornado, Tornado Shot, the Projectiles created by Staggering Palm

0.3.0
Direct change

Whirling Slash: Movement is now able to pathfind slightly, making it less likely to get stuck on small obstactles.

0.3.0
Direct change

Clarified the addition to radius per stage for Whirling Slash and Whirlwind Lance skill descriptions.

0.3.0
Direct change

Fixed a bug where strike skills could sometimes have their animations cancelled at unintended times. This fix was previously applied to Rake and Whirling Slash in patch 0.2.0h, but has now been applied to all strikes. Don't worry, cancelling after part 1 of Rolling Slam is fully intended and still possible!
