Double posts of this type are wholeheartedly welcome. In general, double-posting is fine here when you're adding new and useful content, and when it's not "just a few minutes" after the previous post.

Posting new screenshots every few months or so, especially when you hit a new "major point release" like 0.4, 0.5, etc, would be worthwhile, since many of the improvements you're making are nigh-impossible to describe with mere words.

* changed behavior of the warriors taunt and scare warcries
* gave the warrior a triple whirlattack skill as upgrade of common whirlattack
* changed cooldown values for most mage skills
* significant damage adjustments to mage skills
* ionisation passive skill now reduces lightning cooldown speed instead of damage bonus
* changed cooldown values for all priest healing and booster skills
* added passive skills for the priest reducing damage taken from undead, demons and elementals
* modified effect of berserk and confused states
* small evasion rate is now also granted without using a shield
* more enchantments are available at Fazir's in dwarfenwall

User Interface:
* added labels for remaining skill and attribute points
* added visualization for skill dependecies
* added shortkey numbers to the belt slots
* added visulization for missed attacks
* added graphics for various boosters

For screenshots: This versions modifications should considerably change gameplay experience, but graphics-wise we did not make huge improvements again
This time the improvements are rather for the ears than for the eyes, so you have to play it. As soon as we get some better grahics, I will post some screenshots.
