3rd Class Skills

All 3rd class skills (which are only used by monsters, and are currently not available to players, even via custom items or cards) deal 50% damage per level, with all extra variables for damage calculation removed. Exceptions to this are listed below.

• Comet: The 4 damage zone changes by 200/150/100/50% (200 being ground zero) per skill level damage instead of the original scaling
• Chain Lightning: Base matk follows "standard" heRO formula of 50% per level. Chain Lightning Chain bonus damage is adjusted to [50 × (Max Chain count ?
