Hey everyone! This update brings a big batch of visual feedback improvements to combat, making dungeon encounters much more satisfying to watch and play.

New Features

• Hit Splats - You can now see the exact damage numbers for every auto-attack, floating above the HP bars as scrolling combat text. Works in both overworld combat and dungeon runs.
• Ability Hit Splats - Ability damage shows up as electric blue numbers, so you can instantly tell the difference between an auto-attack and an ability hit. Heal abilities show green numbers on the player side.
• Ability Activation Glow - Ability buttons now briefly flash when they fire, whether you trigger them manually or auto-mode activates them for you.
• AOE Pack Targeting - AOE abilities like Aether Flash now correctly damage ALL living enemies in the pack, not just the focused target. Splash damage!
• Rich Ability Tooltips - Hover over any ability button to see detailed info: effect type, STR scaling percentage, cooldown (with auto-mode penalty noted), trigger type, charge count, and live status (Ready, GCD, or cooldown remaining).

Improvements

• Ability cooldown progress bars now correctly track the actual cooldown duration. Previously in auto-mode, the bar would appear to start at 50% because it was using the base cooldown instead of the doubled auto-mode cooldown.
• Dungeon buff and debuff stat labels now use your class-specific terminology - for example, magic classes will see "Intelligence" instead of "Strength."
• Potion, brew, and food buff descriptions also now use class-contextual stat names for consistency.
• Tooltips no longer get stuck open when clicking action buttons. Finally, ikr :)

Balance

• Heal ability cooldowns doubled to reduce sustain in auto-mode.
• Speed slot consolidation: Speed bonuses moved exclusively to boots and bracers, removed from helms/body/legs/gloves
• Combat Stats panel: Attack speed now shown in seconds (e.g. 2.3s) with a full source breakdown tooltip
• Gear tooltip display: Speed shown as player-friendly "Speed points" instead of raw milliseconds
• Stat breakdown tooltips: Every combat stat now has a per-source contribution tooltip with class-contextual descriptions

Bug Fixes

• Fixed critical hit animations firing on the wrong ability instead of the one that actually triggered.
