[Heavy Swings] the Strength Two handed allocation bonus, no longer reduces your melee and ranged attack speed.

[General Change] Heals now gain a small Attack Power Coefficient Heroes on Ascension have a lot more health than classic heroes, and this disparity increases as progression goes on. In order to help heals keep up with you as you play, all heals now receive a small AP Coefficient. This change helps heals stay relevant for heroes without spell power, and reinforces classless.
