8. Fixed an issue with Escape Artist skill [Clear Sense] effect not applying.
9. Changed some of Asoka's animation.
10. Fixed an issue with Totentanz skill Dance of Death debuff not applying when skill level is 11 and above.
2. And now for some brief descriptions of the stances. Grace gets Superior Blaster and Lorch gets Duel Blaster. Both stances have the same pose/animation as Gigantic Blaster and they shoot twice per attack cycle for normal attacks as well. Despite having a couple of identical skills, Superior Blaster and Duel Blaster play out quite differently, much like Shotgun Blaster vs Hunting Blaster.
[Superior Blaster] at lvl25
[Hound]
[Pollute Shot]
[Encounter Stroke]
[Executer]
[Blow Impact]
[Duel Blaster] at lvl25
[Camouflage]
[Expoison]
[Encounter Stroke]
[Wire Prisoner]
[Blow Impact]
Most of the skills are rather straightforward, some of the noteworthy things are:-
3. Officially Full Metal Shell, but 철갑탄 is more like Armour-Pierce Shot. This costs 150 vis per batch of 50 from the NPCs or 147,452 vis for full charge of 32767 from the Bullet Charger.

- Hound is a squad buff. It stacks with other scout/warlock/wizard buffs. It doesn't stick around after switching stances and weapons though, so Grace will have to stick with the stance after buffing if she wants to keep the buff.
- Camouflage is like Calyce's Silent Move, except Lorch can't move while under Camouflage. He can still use skills and items.
- Corrosion reduces movement speed and (I think) increases damage taken.
- Entangle prevents movement, prevents item/skill use, and depletes hitpoints over time (about 6,000 hitpoints over 12 seconds in PvP test, this is excluding the base direct damage caused by the trap).
- Lorch's traps have 58 AR/DR at master level. Lorch's traps' AR/DR are affected by the level of the trap skills and the attack ratings of the character. The formula for the AR is 25 + character AR/2 (round down) + skill level, so for example a Lorch with 66AR and lvl10 Wire Prisoner will have 25 + 33 + 10 = 68AR trap. The traps will gain an additional AR at skill lvl11. This formula works a lot better than the one for the normal traps, so these new traps are actually quite effective with their higher AR. Wire Prisoner is fun stuff. ^^
- Encounter Stroke is instant-cast. The range and radius are a bit small though. It's a bit like improved Glitter.
- Executer is instant-cast as well, although it has a moderately long animation. It's a bit like improved Implosion. (Actually the animation is the same as Implosion... <_<)
- Blow Impact is a bit like improved Steal Baton/Slug Bullet/Blow Back.
