{please contribute minor, plausible balance changes}
{please keep in mind, these are not holistic changes across all classes}
{in other words, if one class appears buffed, others may need to be buffed in accordance}
{in other words, I don't necessarily mean for each & every one of these suggested changes to be implemented across the board}
