0.8 Combat Update
## Systems
Incoming damage is now unified. Abilities, DoTs, and boss normal abilities all use the same mitigation path. Boss hits can dodge and break mounts like normal attacks.
Taking damage correctly puts you "In Combat".
- In combat: health regenerates slowly based off of Constitution
- Out of combat: health regenerates as a percent of max HP
Armor only reduces "Physical" typed damage.
Critical strike chance is hard capped at 75%
Haste is hard capped at 40%
Hotbar is now expanded from 5 to 9 total slots, allowing for 8 selectable abilities. Newly unlocked skills will auto equip into the next empty hotbar slot.
If you press an ability that requires a target and have none selected, the closest valid (within tab target range) enemy is auto acquired. If nothing is in range, the ability still fails for no target.
Enemies can now have armor, resistances, and weaknesses.
Shield amounts now show when applied, including on HP and party frames.
## Content
Mage "Frost Nova" is available to all mages at level 10.
