Geomancer
- Fixed his Dig not triggering Vindicator's Glyph of Silence
- Fixed the explosions from Earth's Grasp to be where they should be now

Magmus

Master of Arms
- Acid Bomb reduced damage from 20/40/60/80 to 15/30/45/60 damage a second

- Fixed Heavenly Vault so it won't unbind invulnerable units (ie, Geomancer in Dig)
