changedProjectile Lines When Targeting with a projectile ability, a line is drawn indicating who it will hit The lines are also drawn when a player is choosing where to move and indicate how your movement affects projectiles that will soon fire. You can also see these lines when using Teleport. Warpgate, and Earth Pillar

Hold Down Mouse Button (Or Confirm Button) to speed up animations Magic Resistance upgrades are now available for: Ninja, Berserker, Sentinel, Sorcerer, and Champion Show more text when choosing equipment
changedNerfs/Changes Kings Crown no longer sets cast Time for Infuse / Doublecast / Command to 0. It now halves the cast time (stacks with multiple Kings Crowns) and also applies to Triplecast and Command Enemy. Geomancer Gem damage bonus reduced from 50% and 80% to 40% and 50% Paladin Gem bonus reduced from 75% and 100% to 50% and 75% Doublecast and Triplecast must now target different locations for each ability Triplecast Charge Time increased from 300 to 400 Command Enemy Charge Time increased from 250 to 300

Fixed Damage Bonus Text for Direct Shot Fixed 8x dice being able to equip in a normal dice slot Fixed crash that could occur with Cure AOE Fixed crash that could occur with Doublecast / Triplecast Fixed infinite damage with Explosive/Penalize Magic combination Fixed Curse Range Bonus Fixed crash that could occur when changing jobs that require an item and the number of items you can equip would decrease upon job change
addedDeveloper Notes Why am I introducing new jobs? Because its fun and I held off on it for year while redoing the story mode. I'm looking to add more abilities to some of the classes even if those abilities are similar to ones that already exist. The game is at the point where two jobs can share a similar ability and still be different enough.
