User Interface

• In Patch 0.7.10 it will be possible to view the specialization trees of skills belonging to mastery classes that have not yet been unlocked. The Skills window will also show the damage types of skills, with currently inactive types included but greyed out. We have posted a sneak peek of these changes here.

Art

• Patch 0.7.10 includes a new set of armor models for the Acolyte class. We have posted concept art and a preview of the armor set here.

After This Patch

Patch 0.7.9 implemented Monolith of Fate updates from Phase 4 of our Early Access Forecast, and Patch 0.7.10 includes Loot Filters from Phase 4. Our next update, Patch 0.8, will stick with the '4' theme, albeit in a different way - it features four items from Phase 3! (Multiplayer is still being tested internally and won't be included in our next update.)
