Balance

• Reduced Ogre damage on a lot of weapons, most notable: 1h Axe light attack, Falchion, 2h Hammer light attack, Glaive heavy attack
• Increased Ogre damage on a lot of weapons, most notable: 1h sword light attacks, Crossbows (Note: regular Crossbow, Not Volley Crossbow), Warpick charged level 2 attack
• Fixed Skullcracker not properly triggering headshots when used with a projectile based weapon
• Added buffer to all push chain actions to remove accidental double pushes

• When not charged the fireball explosion has a radius of 0.75 meters and deals no damage to Stormvermin. It still applies a burn effect which damages Stormvermin.
• When fully charged the fireball explosion has a radius of 3 meters and deals damage to Stormvermin as well as applying the burn effect.
• The heat cost of the charged fireball has been reduced

• We reduced the general damage output of the staff since in most cases it just resulted in large amounts of overkill damage.
• The headshot multiplier was increased to compensate for the above to not reduce it’s effectiveness as a dedicated special killer weapon. When you lock onto something, it should die.
• The amount of time needed to acquire full charge has been cut in half. So you should get fully charged bolts out in half the previous time.
• We reduced the heat cost on level 2 and level 3 bolts.

• Tweaked dot damage applications to be more consistent (The dot damage applications were bugged and very polarised where your dots either did a lot of damage or barely any damage, should now work more consistently)
• Conflagration staff:The fire-patch now staggers unarmoured targets in the area of effect, meaning they will take more Damage over Time (DoT) applications and be stunned for longer.

• Increased dual wield daggers blocking move speed from 85 to 90%
• Reduced dual wield swords and sword/dagger blocking move-speed from 95% to 85%
• Changed Sword and Dagger sweeping heavy attack from 3 to 2 targets

• Fixed a bug with the Rapier charged attack would not reach charge level 2 (piercing an extra rat and having added knockback) when charging the attack fully
