range from 700/800/900 to 400/550/700 (he may need another nerf, but i want to take it one
step at a time with him as he is easily made useless)

* Lycan Wolf Form has proper melee attack, not missle based

* Fixed a typo on the spirit bear's entangle



Notes:
======

* This version was going to be released in 2 weeks but with recent abuses on morphling/necro,
i decided to just release it now. This doesn't have as much new content as i had planned,
however, you can expect new content to flow in at a steady rate.

* Lord of Avernus will be looked into in the next few versions to make him less boring.
Morphling adapt will probably get reworked in the near future as well.

* Thanks to the beta testers for their help; switch and minotaar for icons; Terrorblaze for hero
descriptions. Special thanks to mercurial for the new 100% hand drawn loading screen art. He
worked on it for over a month. We almost couldn't use it, we spent all of thursday evening trying
to properly compress it due to blizzard format issues. A desktop wallpaper version of it is
available at http://mercurialxen.deviantart.com

It'll show in the bottom of your stats and crap screen if you are ruptured or getting assassinated.

It's not like the buff icons are going to stop stupid people from running anyways.

I like how Abaddon is being more used. But there are still idiots that pick AoV or Witch Doctor and totally blow it!
