The class changes from the classleads program in april 2015 went live recently on Achaea. Classleads are a program where players suggest and vote on changes to class skills, which we on the admin side take into account when deciding how to alter classes for balance and interest.

This batch of classleads includes the following changes:

* SYPHON now produces a less informative third person message when it cures an affliction.
* FURY will now only convey the balance bonus in the room it was enacted in.

Devotion
--------
* HEALING (rite) now produces a less informative third person message when it cures an affliction.

* ENLIGHTEN will now correctly prevent WHISPERINGMADNESS from being cured.

Reclamation
-----------
* REVIVE has been added to the skill.

Spirituality
------------
* CARE now produces a less informative third person message when it cures an affliction.

Subterfuge
----------
* PINSHOT now prevents elevation changes alongside regular movement.

Tekura

* Stances have been reworked, each providing a standardised level of limb damage while providing a variety of new benefits.

* PALMSTRIKE has been reworked.
* BLADEHAND has been reworked.
