******** List of Changes ********

----- General -----

- Bugfixed descriptions for most skills. If you see values different from the original description that are not mentioned in the change list, this is likely
because the description was incorrect. For the most part, additive damage bonuses will now have a trailing 'weapon damage' while multiplicative ones won't.
Also, damage per second values have been corrected to match the actual dps for skills that tick every 2s.
- All of the Skill Enhancing Rings that were bugged have been fixed.
- Bleed effect no longer shows critical text even though it cannot crit.
- Panic status effect can now be combo detonated (Impact - Basic, Precision - Rupture, Eldritch - Basic).
- Nightmare Combo (Sleep + Eldritch) damage is reduced from 800% to 650%, as the panic effect can be further comboed upon.
- Sleep combo (Shocked + Weakened) is disabled. No more infinite combos, but it's easier to keep targets shocked and weakened at the same time.
- Focus gained is increased by 20% to encourage the use of focus abilities.
- Max Barrier scaling with weapon damage is reduced by -25% to make them feel less like a temporary god mode.
- Traps and Damage over Time skills no longer scale with bonus flanking damage.
- Elusive stacks now decay while being out of combat by 1 stack every 2s.
- Belt of Retaliation now returns damage equal to 10 x character level instead of giving the It'll Cost You effect. This was done because of the changes to the passive.
