The skill selection screen now shows locked abilities with their level requirements

Items
Added seven new unique items
Added new item affixes
Tenacity: Resuistance to stuns. Spawns on most items
Increased Health: Suffix that can only spawn on body armour
Percent of damage dealt to mana before health: Prefix that can only spawn on body armour
Increased poison damage: Prefix with the same rolls as other damage types
Added melee crit chance: Prefix that can only spawn on weapons, additive with the melee attack's base crit chance, multiplicative with % increased critical strike chance. Displayed as "adds 3% to melee critical strike chance"
Added melee physical damage: Prefix that gives flat damage like the implicits. Can only spawn on weapons. Cannot spawn on wands
Increased minion physical damage: another scaling option for summoners, a prefix, unlike regular increased minion damage. It has slightly higher values than regular increased minion damage, but won't benefit your vale spirit or vines
Chance to poison, ignite, chill, slow or blind
Increased dodge rating
Changed attack speed affix to melee attack speed
Slightly reduced item drop rate
Greatly reduced gold drop rate
Reduced drop rate of high end magic items
Increased drop rate of unique items
Melee weapons now have different ranges
Movement speed affixes are now 5 to 10% higher and can also spawn on amulets. On average this will result in substantially higher movement speed towards the end of the demo
Changed critical strike multiplier on items to % added instead of % increased and allowed it to spawn on weapons
Gold now lays flat on the ground
Implicits now format similarly to affixes. ".02 BlockChance" is now "+20% Block Chance"
Level Design
Added a much nicer water system
Lost Glade, Bridgewood, The Cliffs, The Underground Lake and Swamp have been overhauled
Adjusted level lengths and paths
Added more background details

Changed Mana Strike graphics and animation, reduced its aoe, and increased its added lightning damage
Swipe and Mana Strike now play hit sounds
Changed Swipe animation for two-handed weapons (except spears)
Basic attacks now make a different sound on hit based on whether you are using a blunt weapon/fists or a bladed weapon
Balance and Performance
Abilities now gain additional xp when you level up (they still gain xp when you kill enemies too). This should result in skill level up coinciding with character level up more often
Adjusted the xp curve to be much steeper at higher levels. By the end of the demo you should now reach around level 21, instead of around level 25 The level of your abilities by the end of the demo should be roughly the same as they were before
Reworked mana regen (base regen is now higher, item values are now lower and gives % increased instead of added)
The Draal Queen now has slightly less health and the eggs she spits now travel at varied speeds
Enemies that frenzy when allies are slain now gain a larger bonus, which is shorter and no long stacks
Hugely improved the performance of item and gold drops
Reflective water no longer updates if your fps is consistently below 30
Rain collision is now disabled if your fps is consistently below 35
Reduced the amount of rain in Lost Glade
Improved performance of enemy spawners and AI

Other Changes
Run animation speeds of players and enemies now scale with movement speed
Monsters and summoned creatures now have slightly randomised animation speeds
Added the "of shadows" monster suffix which gives a chance to dodge
Added an accuracy stat for monsters, which influences how close to their intended target they aim
Added a blind status, which reduces accuracy and also debuffs crit chance
Ahuizotl now have melee attacks and whirlpool instead of water nova
Changed Ravenous Draal (medium sized melee draal) so that it no longer poison or slows on hit and now frenzies when hit
Dodging projectiles no longer destroys them as if you had failed to dodge
