"Critical strikes have been standardised in how they interact with repeating actions. The critical roll is made only once per action, regardless of how many repeats that action does. Exceptions are Tempest Shield (which rolls each time you block), Piety's Ball Lightning (which rolls per target) and Infernal Blow/Explosive Arrow (which roll separately for the explosion)."

I don't quite understand this. Isn't this how it has always worked? Like cyclone will roll a crit or not and if the intial crit roll happens everything cyclone hits will crit.

Yes, but it's saying that if you use Multistrike then the crit is rolled once and then applied to all repeats of the skill.

All the hard work is very much appreciated, no doubts there. However, some glaring issues remain that should have been fixed promptly.

- Nothing was done to low-life vision radius, something you confirmed on beta feedback forums to be fixed in the upcoming patch.

- Many spells/skills are still killing mobs/destroying barrels way off-screen, more then you estimated 13 tiles. Still nothing done about that, while we are constantly loosing on potential drops.

And now these auras.. what's going on? Instead of thinking ahead and implementing a switch in options menu for full/low aura gfx, effectively you are hurting your own game by going backwards.. to 2000? I remember games from that age having better gfx then what auras are now changed into.. a flying red turd, two blue and one green circle trying to hypnotize me and three snowflakes? ...

Aura change surely feels like a rushed mechanic, done without much thinking and just something to slap on to satisfy a few. It just doesn't make any sense seeing you try to make this wonderful game... uglier?
