##### Omen Windows

- Adjusted the size of the Omen Windows in the Omen's Veil Woven Echo to provide slightly more space where all three windows overlap.

##### Class and Skill Updates

##### Sentinel

- Shield Throw: The Sentinel affix which converts Shield Throw to void now behaves more in line with expectations for a conversion. It causes bleed chance to be converted to time rot, physical resistance shred to be converted to void resistance shred, it converts Lava Burst to void, and it causes effects within the tree related to fire or ignite to instead affect void or time rot.

##### Rogue

- Bladestorm: The Shadowstorm node can now also be triggered by the thrown daggers from Shadow Cascade's Dagger Dance node.

- Bladestorm: Added visual effects to indicate when the Shadowstorm effect is triggered.

##### Quality of Life

- The chat window is now interactable while your character is dead.

- Stat conversion effects will now be reflected in your character sheets. For example: If you had 42% Bleed chance and 5% Ignite chance but then you get an effect that converts 100% of Bleed Chance into Ignite Chance, your character sheet will now reflect your totals as: 0% Bleed Chance and 47% Ignite Chance.

- Reaching level 15+ on a character while having the forging basics quest active will automatically complete it.

##### Visual and Sound Updates

- Volcanic Orb: Updated the visual effects.

- Serpent Strike: Added some visual effects to Primal Serpents.

- Transplant: Updated the visual effects.

- Shield Throw: Added new visual effects for Shield's Throw Lava Burst conversion.

- Fractal Evade: Rocks now feature a dissolve transition when despawning.

##### Bug Fixes

- Fixed an issue where atmospheric effects could be carried through scenes with incorrect settings.

- Fractured Earthquake: Fixed an issue where it would sometimes spawns with a missing material for the crack decal for aftershocks.

- Dragon Fang Shadow Cascade: Fixed an issue where the cosmetic would not apply if the node Porcupine's Wrath was allocated.

##### Skills and Passives

- Fixed a bug where the recently added change to prevent channeled abilities from ending within 0.2 seconds of having insufficient mana was not applying in some cases. This is expected to correctly resolve the issue of Warpath's channel ending despite Void Well restoring your mana.

- Acolyte: Rip Blood: Fixed the necrotic variant not increasing its area with the "Crimson Flood" node.

- Acolyte: Rip Blood: Fixed an issue where the splatter decals were not scaling visually with skill upgrades.

- Acolyte: Summon Volatile Zombie: Fixed an issue where Dread Shades from Emerging Terrors could sometimes be cast on the wrong minions.

- Acolyte: Transplant: Fixed an issue where the abilitiy visuals were not scaling visually with skill upgrades.

- Primalist: Serpent Strike: Fixed an issue where it was missing an Area tag.

- Rogue: Aerial Assault: Fixed an issue where it's sub skills were not gaining damage from the Avian Hunter node, the Storm on the Horizon node, or the Rhythm passive.

- Rogue: Bladedancer Passives: Fixed an issue where Dive bomb and Falcon Strikes were not able to generate Flow.

- Rogue: Shift: Fixed an issue where the visual effects were not displaying after the first time it was used in a scene.

- Rogue: Dancing Strikes: Fixed an issue where the character could end up t-posing when unspeccing the Twin Blades node (making them ineligible to use the ability) and then attempting to use the ability.

- Sentinel: Devouring Orb: Fixed an issue that made Devouring orb area not visually scale in online.

- Sentinel: Judgement: Fixed an issue where the sound and visual effects for Judgement's Holy Eruption node would not be synchronized when the duration of Consecrated Ground was modified.

- Sentinel: Judgement: Fixed an issue where the sound and visual effects for Judgement's Holy Eruption node would play much earlier than intended when the Anointed node was Allocated.
