Role Skills: Increased number of Role skills in a build to 10 (up from 8). Increased number of common skills in a build to 16.

Blizzard: We're attempting to give a unique flavor to this underused spell: Projectile speed reduced by 70% (this is near the same speed as DFO spell 'Confusion') . Damage increased by 30%. Range doubled. This spell can be used to control areas, to make people 'get out of the way' before the spell lands, or risk stay but take significant damage.

Arrow knockback removed.
Polearm knockback re-introduced.

Trueshot: Mana drain removed. Stamina drain halved. Damage increased by 28%. Cooldown increased by 15%. Range tripled.
This will make it more interesting sniper shot spell and less boring 'stat drain' skill. (Overall stats drained reduced by 30% or ~32 at leenspar level)

Heart of stone. Health given increased by 40%. Mana/Stamina given increased by 20%

Mana leech. Reduced magnitude by 22%
