Patch notes 1.0.3

Nerf of specific percentages / numbers from skill descriptions.

Due to the feedback I’ll be keeping the numbers but reduce them a little while asking for your suspension of disbelief. The argument that other classes simply have similar skills enhancing their defenses and powers is reasonable. I have however decided to remove the totals resulting from class bonuses from the skill descriptions as seen below (The class bonuses still apply but it means less effort for me and less ridiculous numbers seen in the list). Additionally the previous (not mentioned) bonus of 0.5% per level of the skill has been reduced to 0.25%. The specific number might be subject to change. I did remove some numbers completely as many of the skills already didn’t have them.

Another new thing is that skills already grant 0.25% at level 1, makes it rounder at 2nd 20 compared to before.

Below are the specific changes. Underlined = removed, Bold = new.

Even further below is a clean list with the new descriptions without any underlined / bold stuff.

Let me know what you think about it. Open for suggestions and changes as always. Thanks!
