Class Changes

SecondWind RO runs stock Pre-Renewal skill behavior. The tables below are the complete list of exceptions. If a skill is not listed, it works exactly as it always has.

The middle column is the official iRO behavior. Where the standard server software already differed from official before we touched anything, the cell says Before on SecondWind RO so you can see what actually changed for you. Rows with an NPC carry the /navi command.
