v0.630 Direct Damage Skills

[Glitchless]

Several existing skills have been modified to greatly beef up direct damage for casters. Also a skill has been added that allows you to get crits with direct damage gems, lot's of crits if you're using a staff. The changes are as follows:

Revised Skill STAVES: This is your prowess with staves. If this skill is low compared to the level of your opponent you may do as little as half normal damage with staff attacks. Additionally when using a staff all of your gems that you click to use while in play use 25% plus 0.15 per point in this skill less energy for a maximum of 40% less energy.

Revised Skill MENTAL CONSERVATION: When using a staff all of your gems that you click to use while in play use 35% plus 0.15 per point in this skill less mana for a maximum of 50% less mana.

Revised Skill WIZARDRY: If you have a staff equipped you get 40% draw haste plus 0.4 for each point in this skill for a maximum of 80%. Levels 25 and 50 of this skill also unlock the ability to use additional pouches, however, you lose all gems in play when switching between pouches.

New Skill DESTRUCTION: Each point in this skill gives a 0.2% chance of doing critical damage with direct damage gems. When using a staff you gain an additional 10% chance.

If you can't make an awesome caster with these skills, Divination and Sleight of Hand then you weren't meant to play casters.
