Flay rebounding, scales upgrade, diag eq increase

Written by: Maya, the Great Mother
Date: Wednesday, February 15th, 2006
Addressed to: Everyone


These changes were tested through last week on the beta server and did
well there, so I loaded them in today:

- Serpent class can now FLAY <target> REBOUNDING. If just using the FLAY
<target> command, rebounding will be stripped after sileris and before
speed.
- Serpent scales upgraded to protect against all types of damage.
- Diagnose eq time increased to 1 second, as half a second was too
short.
- A change to balance that should prevent balance loss stacking issues
across the board, instead of the bandaid fix with grove swing I put in a
couple weeks ago. The across the board fix was more potentially
problematic, so it's been run on the beta server for a couple of weeks,
but no problems popped up there.

The first two upgrades are meant to improve the Serpent class to help
bring them back into balance with other classes. More tuning of the
Serpent class is still being considered. The diag eq time increase is
meant to help affliction classes overall.

Penned by my hand on the 10th of Valnuary, in the year 414 AF.
