Rework Cold Blade I-IV Changed the Ranged Accuracy Rate increase effect in the description to match the actual effect. Before Now Ranged Accuracy Rate increase on hit Ranged Accuracy Rate increase on 2nd hit

Dev Note After the past update, many Adventurers let us know that they couldn't engage in the so-called "Sliding Shot" or "Skating"-type of playstyle, which consumed low amounts of stamina while also letting the Archer easily move to a more advantageous location. We never intended for this type of playstyle to be prevented, so, just as it was registered as a known issue, we will be fixing it for today's update.

Bugfix Glide Fixed the issue where the skill did not activate when used immediately after Tab is pressed while moving forward in combat stance.
Rework Glide Changed so that the skill takes priority in activating over sprint when Shift is pressed after Tab is pressed while moving forward in combat stance.

Hashashin

Dev Note Like Archers, Hashashins used the Tab key to combo into Haladie Assault, allowing for a safer means of recovering Stamina while also pressing forward with the Super Armor buff. We never intended for this type of playstyle to be prevented, so, just as it was registered as a known issue, we will be fixing it for today's update.

Bugfix Fixed the issue where certain skills could not be comboed immediately after Tab is pressed while moving forward in combat stance.
Rework Sand Warp, Prime: Sand Warp, Flow: Sand Warp - Changed so that the skills take priority in activating over sprint when Shift is pressed after Tab is pressed while moving forward in combat stance.
