Hey guys!
Here comes the Warden update!
All her sets and passives have been revamped, her masteries adjusted, and even some active skills have had some significant updates. If you play a Warden then this update is definitely for you, and if you don't, well, there's never been a better time to roll one!
I've also added a few tweaks to other things, and fixed all reported issues.
The low frame rates tied to energy saving / clock speed problems are still being investigated - thank you for being patient!
If you're on Linux, you'll also be happy to know that there's a functioning, although a little unpolished, Linux build available! It needs a bit more work before I am ready to announce full support. It's mainly targeting Ubuntu, but other distros may also work. Just logging on Steam from a Linux machine should get you the Linux version as expected.
Thanks for the continued reports and feedback, and a special thanks to the guys who helped me test the sets and Linux builds!
Hopefully I didn't break too many things and I'll see you with the Warlock update in a few weeks :-)
