We have implemeted item multi-stacking in this build:
-this means that stackable items can now be acquired in multiple stacks (this feature can be turned on or off for select items)
-what needs to be tested: items should stack up to their max stack and then create a new stack(edited)
-this should happen when items are acquired via loot, buying in shops, buying from DC shops, acquired from quests
-also to test:  that items get SUBTRACTED from stacks and multistacks properly
-this should be tested when items are subtracted via selling, deleting, quest turnins
-multiple stacks should be able to be moved to and from the bank

- Major update to the newest version of Unity!
    * Please report any issues you see with maps looking funny or not loading, or any other odd problems

- Area of Effect abilities now deal 10% less damage or healing to their 2nd target, 20% less to their 3rd target, down to a minimum of 50% damage to their 6th or more targets. 
    * To compensate, AoE abilities have had their base power increased. The result should be that these spells do nearly the same or more damage to 3 or fewer targets, but less to a larger number of targets.
    * Targets are damaged in order of highest aggro.
    * Targets are healed in order of lowest percent health left.

- Warrior
    * Whirlwind power: 90 -> 100
- Dragonslayer
    * Final Descent power: 275 -> 310
- Paladin
    * Holy Shield damage reduction 35% -> 25%
    * Divine Judgement power: 175 -> 200
- Guardian
    * Guardian's Hope base power: 40 -> 55
- Necromancer
    * Soul Transfer: Souls on kill 10 -> 15
    * Soul Siphon power: 70 -> 60
        + Enhanced power: 90 -> 80
    * Grand Summon taunt duration: 5s -> 3.5s

+ PTRb9

 - Fix certain combat sounds not playing
    - Necromancer
        * Soul Siphon: No longer needs a minion out to do full damage.
        * Grand Summon: Big Bones attack stat lowered by ~13%.
    - Guardian
        * Bulwark: Defense boost 5% -> 10%
        * Dragon's Breath: Damage dealt generates 50% more Aggro than normal.

 - Whole mess of changes to Ninja 2.
        * Now uses Energy as a resource
        * Shuriken and Bomb Toss visually swapped
        * Smokestep now decreases Aggro (not yet working) and grants some Energy
        * Number changes all over the place

    The intention here is to establish two primary rotations: Tempered Blades -> Wind Slash -> Shuriken -> Repeat as the damage rotation, and an occasional Smokestep -> Bomb Toss -> Poison Dagger rotation to refresh your energy, debuff the enemy, and apply a long Poison. Flowing between the two regularly should be the key element of playing well.

    Numbers certainly still need tweaking, but I wanted to get the changes out before leaving for the day to see if this puts Ninja closer to being fun and interesting.

- Ninja Ultimate -> Thousand Cuts

    * Dragonslayer: Final Descent

- We're trying some more drastic changes to combat to see if a stronger emphasis on aoe combat is more fun. None of this is balanced or guaranteed to stay, we want to see how it feels and go from there.

   * Warrior Auto-Attack, Sever, and Earthbreaker are now hit all enemies in a cone
   * Mage Fireball and Meteor Shower now hit all enemies near the impact point

- Note that this will throw off boss stats as well. If this generally feels better we'll fix it to only apply to non-boss enemies.
