Wayfarers adjustments

As promised, we've been keeping a close eye on the Wayfarers and have a bunch of balance adjustments and bug fixes for you.

ADJUSTMENTS:

* One-handed Axe attacks (thrown and melee) now use full balance instead of hand balance.
- This means your combos will now look something like AXE LOB KEROC <wait for balance> AXE CHOP KEROC HEAD <wait for balance/thrown axe to return> <repeat combo>

* New thrown attack: Assault. Works with Rampage.

* Retrieval now increases your balance recovery from thrown attacks, instead of increasing return speed of thrown axes.

* Slaughter's prone bonus is now faster axe return speed, instead of faster balance.

* I've adjusted the speed of almost all Tenacity attacks, and the damage of some of them too.

* There's a new QUEUE: Axes. You can QUEUE AXES <command>, and this queue will fire only when you are both on bal/eq, and have no axes in the air.
- This means you can do something like "QUEUE AXES AXE ASSAULT KEROC HEAD\QUEUE BAL AXE CHOP KEROC HEAD" to do one round of attack easily, where \ is your CONFIG SEPARATOR.

* The Fury gain on attacking has been increased a bit.

* Fury Shatter will always apply the focus disrupt now. When boosted, it will now lengthen this effect instead.

* The chance for Masochism in Fury Shatter has been replaced with a chance for dizziness instead.

* The boosted effect of Threaten additionally causes masochism in the target.

* Fury Cost on intimidate has been dropped from 40 to 30.

* Opportunity's counter attack no longer deliver's venoms and is now flagged as a ranged attack.

FIXES:
* Forest mastery's Foraging skill works properly now.
* Underground mastery's Guerrilla skill works properly now.
* Wielding a two-handed weapon in between a thrown axe attack will correctly donk you in the head when the right-hand hand returns now.
* Whirlwind can be used without specifying a venom.

More fixes to come, and more adjustments as well as we watch how these changes play out.
