And more classleads!
Alchemy
-------
* SILVER now always strips phase in the case when it previously had a chance to fail to.
Chivalry
--------
* RALLY no longer removes members of the Knight's Guild from the user's entourage when utilised.
Elementalism
------------
* ERODE now takes an optional [MAINTAIN] argument, to preserve your resonance with the Elemental Planes instead of decrementing them (decrementing is still the default).
Excision
--------
* HELLSIGHT no longer gives slickness alongside the HELLSIGHT affliction on cast.
Oppression
----------
* Untargeted ARC now accepts inline hellforge weapon investments.
* There is now a message when TORMENT gives healthleech. As a result, the message to the target receiving healthleech from this ability has changed.
* RAMPAGE now incurs a balance cost as the abfile falsely indicated it did.
* The balance cost for RAMPAGE in the ability file has been reduced slightly.
- A comment here: my original intent for this skill was that it would serve as a leap style skill that would bypass rng hinders. Unfortunately the balance cost was never being incurred, so it was more serving as a straight instant bypass of walls/hinders. I considered adding a monolith check like hunt, but felt it wasn't appropriate given there are some key differentiations between the requirements for rampage and its closest analogue (Excision Hunt). Ultimately, I decided that my original intent is still the right direction for the ability and class as a whole and so have gone with this change.
Weaponmastery
------------
* (Sword and shield): New SHIELD STRIKE: DEFENCES.
* (Relevant specs): DISEMBOWEL has under gone a formula rework. The first 15 str now count a little more towards the calculation, which means you affectively hit the insta threshold with torso a little sooner. Higher strength people should now find that they very rarely miss a disembowel kill with torso damage (if you're passed twenty, they're very dead now where this wasn't always the case).
Misc
----
* You may now PREVAIL while mounted, and it will auto dismount you on the transformation completing.
Enjoy!
