Hi folks,

Our latest update expands further the possible elemental builds with over 85 new perks and 35 new passives, related to them, alongside an overhaul to perk UI readability. You will now see clear icons for action-granting and mutually exclusive abilities, smarter sorting by prerequisites, and faction perks listed directly in your codex. Beyond character progression, dominated enemies can finally be looted after combat, ripple effects are easier to inspect, and there are a few modding additions as well.

Speaking of modding, I added some new modding guides, which you can find in the guides section along with this topic that conveniently lists them all.
