Pull Request Prelude
Changes Proposed
This PR introduces the rebalance of Lord Knight job skills. This change affects Renewal-only.
On official servers this came along with rebalances of 1st, 2nd jobs and transclass too. I am working in additional PRs for the remaining transclasses, being in separate PRs in order to keep those PRs in a reasonable size.
Most credits for this PR goes to @gbasso666, I built it over their changes on #3200, breaking into smaller commits and focusing only on Lord Knight skills. Commits in this PR that has their name, are the ones where most of the changes were picked from #3200.
Some changes of #3200 seems related to a future patch (e.g. SP cost of Concentration in 2018 was still in the old values), those were discarded, since the focus of this PR is on 2018 changes.
I can't say everything is 100% accurate because there are discrepancies between different sources, and I could not test everything in kRO, but should be quite close.
I won't list all the rebalance changes in the PR description, but it may be checked in each commit text. Also, the commits are in the same order as they appear in the references below.
As an extra, there is a fix for Knight's KN_BRANDISHSPEAR (Brandish Spear), based on the changes of #3200 I noticed my previous PR was missing some damage in the STR bonus.
