Double Strike, Frenzy, Heavy Strike and Cleave are some of the first attacks you see as a new player, but they look very dated. In 3.4.0 we have massively improved our trail tech, which has allowed us to make much better versions of these skills. We have also improved the default wand attack. Check out these improvements by watching this video!
