We're pleased to bring you the first batch of classleads from the q2 2017 round. We'll be moving to this board from now on for classlead changes, to keep everything in the same place to reduce the need to scour the announce board for that one elusive change that happened months ago. Here are all the details:

Curses
------
* Having the SWIFTCURSE defence active will no longer negatively impact the damage of regular curse against denizens.
* The TZANTZA calculation now only starts reducing the time when the target has more than one tzantza affliction - this means for practical purposes the requirements have increased by one affliction.

Devotion
--------
* DAMNATION no longer bypasses the shield defence.

Domination
----------
* The GOLGOTHA'S GRACE defence will no longer be active when in dragonform.

Dragoncraft
-----------
* Added STUPIDITY and RECKLESSNESS as afflictions useable via DRAGONCURSE.

Gathering
---------
* The chance for EGGS and MILK is now equal.

Metamorphosis
-------------
* Many of the hydra abilities that did not generate kai now do and also hit deliverance.

Pranks
------
* You may no longer set the TIMERS on bombs while prone.

Reclamation
-----------
* EMBRACE now requires your room be reclaimed by you - being adjacent to a reclaimed room is no longer sufficient.

Runelore
--------
* Significantly reduced the willpower cost of EMPOWERing runic items.

Shadowmancy
-----------
* MANIFESTED CLOAKS may now be made nondecay through the customisation system.
* STRIKE now requires you to append KNEEL or PRONE to the command to gain the proning functionality. If you strike without the prone modifier against an unshielded opponent, they will not be proned and the balance lost you'll suffer will be reduced.
* The PARASITE affliction now extends the SPEED defence raising time by 2 seconds.

Shindo
------
* There is now a line on the look output showing whether someone has the AUGMENT defence active.

Survival
--------
* CLOTs willpower cost has been reduced.

Tarot
-----
* AGORAPHOBIA and CLAUSTROPHOBIA have been added to the list of afflictions deliverable with MOON tarot. Note that this only applies to the list of afflictions specifiable, they are not in the pool of afflictions that may be given randomly.

Tekura
------
* BEAR STANCE now only functions against targets at the same elevation as you.

Terminus
--------
* Serverside curing should now correctly respect various balances when attempting to put up terminus defences.
* Significantly reduced the cooldown on using LAIAD.

Twoarts
-------
* INFUSE ICE damage vs frozen targets has been reduced.
* There is now a message to the blademaster when an ice-infused sword attack strikes a frozen opponent.
* All sword attacks should now only require one arm to be unbroken to perform.
* DISCERN may no longer be used when paralysed.

Misc
----
* The class balance and class resource prompt settings will now show Terminus balance status and amount of Aeonics age respectively when in the Depthswalker class.
* You may no longer manually fill vials from your rift if prone or if you have two broken arms. The automatic refill that occurs when you use up the last sip/application in a vial will still occur.
* The AMNESIA ticks from the CONCUSSION affliction are now masked if the concussion is masked (so will not show up on affliction messages or gmcp). If the concussion is unmasked (i.e. from DIAGNOSEing or PREDICTing), the amnesia ticks will also be unmasked.
* Loyal (alive) mobiles such as minipets, mounts, and artefact pets will no longer fall out of your inventory upon death/quitting/etc.
* SOULFIRE CRUCIBLES will now go out on starbursts caused by themselves firing as well as starbursts caused by external sources.

Enjoy!
