Better Arbalest

The aim of this mod is to bring the Arbalest on par with other classes since she always felt like a worse pick than almost any other hero in terms of damage dealing capabilities, utility and versatility. I decided to make my own mod since i felt like all other arbalest mods either did too little or too much. Staying close to vanilla and keeping things fair and balanced is my philosophy.


- Sniper Shot can now hit rank 1. Not being able to hit rank one makes using the arbalest feel clunky at times, especially in some situations where you are trying to leverage a mark, and made picking Blindshot almost mandatory, which is a less than optimal way to hit rank 1. This change is in my opinion completely justified by the fact that houndmaster is superior in every way to arbalest and can hit all 4 ranks with a single move that launches also from rank 2. This change makes arbalest less clunky and frees up a skill slot.

- Blindshot now moves Arbalest back by one. If Sniper Shot can hit rank 1, Blindshot has to have some additional utility. It now allows her to reposition more efficiently. Damage penalty has been removed because there is already a big accuracy penalty plus the target is random.

- Battlefield Bandage now cures bleed and can be used from all ranks. Arbalest can now be brought as a substitute to plague doctor in the cove to deal with the big crab bleed. It may also raise her value as a pick in the final missions. Heals 4-4 and buffs 40% at level 5. Slightly nerfed healing output because curing bleed is a big deal.

- Rallying Flare stress heal is now 100% chance, cures horror and raises torch by 10 at all levels. I wanted this move to have some utility outside of the swine boss.

- Sniper's Mark is now usable from all ranks and hits all ranks. Debuff now lasts 3 rounds. This mark skill is now more consistent with the other ones.

-Bola now applies the same dodge and speed debuff as Bellow. It makes more sense that bolas impair the enemy's ability to move but probably is still useless.

- Suppressing Fire damage modifier is now -50% and crit chance has been raised to match abyssal artillery since the base chance seemed too low to me. This skill is probably not going to see much use in dungeons but might have some potential against certain bosses.

- Damage has been raised by 1 at all levels following the same template of the man at arms. It is a very small increase that should make her more effective all around and require less setup.


Note: cure bleed and cure horror tooltips are weird and look "unprofessional" but i dont know how to deal with that. Feedback appreciated.
