Classes
Burglar

Champion
- Swift Strike was not properly proccing the Greater Erebor Beserker's Armour set bonus for champions even though it has strike in its name.
- The Champions Greater/Lesser Erebor Beserker's Armour 2set bonus was applying Wild Attacks Bleed on critical hit but not devastating criticals. This has been fixed.

Lore-master
- The incoming healing buff from Water-lore should now show on affected targets

Minstrel

Rune-keeper
- Scribe New Ending for the Runekeeper and Song of Restoration for Minstrels dispel effect has been strengthened to bring it on par with other dispel effects.
- Scribe New Ending should no longer require the Runekeeper to be facing their target.
Warden
- Skills - Warden - In Determination Stance, Quick Thrust now has a chance to apply an Incoming Healing buff instead of a Miss Chance Buff.

The maximum bonus has increased to 5% if the gambits are used in order. Ranged Exultation of battle will no longer provide a 4% Ranged Damage Fellowship buff.
- Skills - Warden - Dance of War In Determination was claiming to grant a 30s buff, when it only imparts a 10s buff. The tooltip has been adjusted accordingly. As has always been the case, the 30s version can be acquired by either using Dance of War twice in a Row, or by using Dance of War directly after Maddening Strike.
