About the pull request

Reworks despoiler's abilities
Passive = Hypertension

  • Store up to four acid reserve stacks (indicated on HUD) which can be used to empower other abilities. Stacks are obtained by dealing and taking damage and decay over time. Maintaining hypertension stacks increases direct acid burn damage on slash as well as apply higher tiers of lingering acid that start at an increased severity

Acid Barrage

  • Key-down to build up a ranged volley of acid projectiles, user is slowed while charging. Key-up to release, projecting a short range barrage of acid globs that leave residual puddles in the AoE. Empowering increases the number of projectiles.

Caustic Embrace

  • Dash forward a tile in targeted direction and attack in a U-shaped region around the user, slashing all targets in the vicinity, and randomly leaving acid puddles in the attack range. Empowering changes the attack to a single target, not AoE.

Oozing Wounds

  • Excrete a large volume of mixed acid projectiles and a tile based puddle that damages and slows enemies. The amount of projectiles and range of puddle scales with how damaged the user is. Empowering makes projectiles apply lingering acid.

Catalyze

  • Consume a hypertension stack to empower the next-used ability. High-cooldown.

Explain why it's good for the game

Current despoiler kit tries to be multiple different things and succeeds at none, this PR tries to give it a new direction focused on area denial and CQC
