No, that’s not what it does. If you have 3 unspent skill points in swipe and you unequip an item which grants +1 swipe then you will now have 2 unspent skill points in swipe. It simply takes from the unspent first. If you don’t have enough in your unspent, only then will it auto select a node to remove points from.

Bug Fixes

Skills

• Fixed a bug where sources of increased area for Rogue skills from sources outside of their own skill trees were granting more area instead (multiplicative with increased area from skill trees). This affected the following skills: Acid Flask, Cinder Strike, Detonating Arrow, Shadow Strike, Hail of Arrows.
• Fixed a bug that prevented all “increased fear duration” nodes from working.
• Clarified and fixed Acid Flask’s Amatoxic Pools node and Puncture’s Efficacious Toxin node, stating that Efficacious Toxins causes enemies to take increased damage.
• Fixed Acid Flask’s Castigate node proccing whenever damage was taken, rather than just when hit (this was a minor bug as the effect had a cooldown).
• Fixed a bug causing several nodes on the Avalanche skill tree to not work.
• Fixed a bug where the Rock Elemental from Avalanche’s Elemental Bond node was scaling wit...

Beta 0.8.1 Patch Notes

Patch 0.8.1 is now available for download on Windows and Linux!
 

Patch 0.8.1 Overview by Game Director, Judd Cobler.

 
Note: This update extensively changes itemization. Items changes are retroactive, so old gear will likely be suboptimal. We encourage you to have a fresh start on a new character or spend a bit of time collecting gear from slightly lower level content than you’re used to challenging. If you’d like to read more about these, check out our latest ...

As you know, in Patch 0.8.1 we’re introducing 5 new Arena maps!

A prepared Traveler is a successful Traveler, so today we’re sharing some screenshots of each of the new Arenas so you know what to expect ahead of time. Safe journeys, Traveler!

Airborne Arena

In Patch 0.8.1 we’re giving the Monolith of Fate endgame system some love!

Explore beyond the Timelines you’ve previously conquered.

 
We’re making the following changes to empowering Timelines;

• It will be possible to empower all Timelines.
• Empowering a Timeline now has additional effects;
  • Enemies have 50% more health and damage (multiplicative with other modifiers)
  • 50% increased item rarity

New Content

In Patch 0.8.1 we’ll be removing the Mage skill Fire Shield. In the same update, we’ll be adding a new skill called Surge to the Spellblade’s arsenal. Let’s see what Surge is all about!

NOTE: Surge is still in development, so we’ve omitted most numbers from the below tooltips.

This change should make it more convenient to tell your characters apart straight away, which will gradually get even easier as we continue to add additional 3d models for equipment.
 

This is already fixed in this patch, I just placed it under the wrong heading. No other updates to offer at this time.

Skills

Dancing Strikes

• Graceful Arena grants 25% increased damage (from 10% more damage).
• Rhythm grants 10% increased damage (from 5% more damage).
• Resolute Technique grants 15% increased damage (from 10% more damage).
• Windmill Ballet now grants 30% Shuriken Chance (from 25%).

Detonating Arrow

• Fixed a bug where Suckerpunch Arrow node did not provide any area increase.
• Fixed a bug where Weak Spot gave increased crit multi rather than added crit multi.
• Weak Spot grants 6% added crit multi (from 10% stated).
• Gift of the Ice grants 80% freeze rate multi (from 60%).

Puncture

• While using a Bow, Puncture now deals 5% less damage for each enemy it pierces (up to 20% less damage). The first enemy hit still takes full damage, and this effect is multiplicative with skill tree nodes which impact hit damage.

Sorry about that! Could you please contact support so we can look into this? We prefer not to discuss account or purchase related issues in public in case there’s any sensitive information involved.

Thanks!

Actually, I just found the bug, it’s not working for throwing either. Fixed for next patch.

I’m checking the back end and it is set up to work with bow attacks already.
