Ascension Changelog

[Runemaster] Runemasters will now be able to use two-handed melee weapons (swords, axes, maces and polearms). This will come with passive effects and will be geared toward tanking, allowing us to create a clear differential between the dagger (dps) style, and the tank (2h) style, and let us tweak knobs for both individually, i.e. we can nerf the survivability of dps build while keeping it for tank builds
