One of the few areas of Path of Exile that still has really old effects is the early attack skills. 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.

In addition we have revisited a few other skills in order to improve their performance. Ice Nova and Caustic Arrow have both received new art which runs a lot faster.

Check out these improvements by watching the video below:
