===Small Combat Tweak #1 (Experimental):===

The global ability cool down timer has been slowed by .3 seconds for both monsters and players. This means abilities will stay
"queued" for a fraction of a second longer before activating. The intent is to slow combat down just a little bit, giving players a little
more time to tell what the hell is going on.

In my experience this change is very noticeable at first (and slightly annoying), but after just a little while it felt normal, and it did
seem to let me be a bit more strategic. Feedback is welcome!

Like any change, this one has lots of tiny side effects, such as increasing the efficacy of DOT attacks (because combat will last a
few seconds longer) and changing the potential rotation of abilities (because ability cool downs didn't change, but the global cool
down did). I haven't given these side—effects much consideration yet, but if you notice egregious problems please report them!

 Right now, the effect is very modest (it adds about 5 seconds more delay for each death in a 15-20 minute time frame), so the question is: is it enough to prevent zerging without being too punitive to people having a bad day?
