Sentinel and Teradrim

Hey folks,

Couple changes here to lower the damage of two classes a bit. Teradrim changes are a little less direct, but ultimately they'll need to forge flails that aren't simply loaded for max damage if they want to regain quick balance times. There are some other changes mixed in as well.

It's unlikely I'll have these perfect first try, so I expect I will need to do some more tweaks to come. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions.

Dhuriv
==============================
- Reduced the base damage stat on the dhuriv weapon to 40, down from 80.
* Adjusted PvE damage so it should be roughly the same.
- Increased the base penetration stat on the dhuriv weapon to 120, up from 80.
- Backflip now grants an extra 3% dodge chance while active.

Woodlore
==============================
- Lifesap health return increased to 25%, up from 20%.
- The Badger is now the Wisp, so its effects match the animal better.
- The Bear is now a Direwolf, to make it unique from the Shaman bear.
- The Raven is now a Rook, to make it unique from the Shaman raven.
- Removed the plodding affliction and the minor damage from Badger/Wisp.
* For tackling a balance-using class, I recommend swapping out for the Raven/Rook now.
- Block from the Bear/Direwolf has been moved to the Elk.
- Leap from the Elk has been moved to the Bear/Direwolf.


Animation
==============================
- Shout changed to cause blurry vision instead of sensitivity and clumsiness.
- Knockdown reflex now strips levitation first before making the target fall.
- Intertwine effect for green ink increased to 33% chance of proc'ing loki, up from 15%.

Dessication
==============================
- Health damage caused by Shred has been cut in half.

Terramancy
==============================
- The speed stat of your flail now matters, and will affect your balance recovery time.
- Stoneblast no longer requires you to be holding a flail in order to use.
- Earthenwill now has the option of letting you select a golem attack.
* Requirements still apply e.g. grapple still needs them to be prone with a damaged torso.
- Overhand now strips levitation first before making the target fall.

Penned by my hand on Closday, the 12th of Severin, in the year 486 MA.
