Fixed a bug where Perfect Strike's visual effects did not match the damaging area.

0.2.0
Direct change

Perfect Strike no longer always Ignites, and now has an Attack Speed of 35% of base (previously 45%). Quality now provides 0-20% more Ignite Chance (previously 0-20% increased Magnitude of Ignite you inflict). Perfect Strike also now deals damage in a wider area close to the player, making it less likely to miss enemies standing next to the player.

0.2.0
Direct change

Snipe's attack speed multiplier and mana cost has been adjusted so that the attack time matches the time until a perfect strike. This is mainly to improve descriptions and the function of the skill is unchanged.
