Fireball: Balanced single target attack with high burn chance
Thunder: fast attack speed, low minAtk - high maxAtk, cannot be dodged
Resistance scaling has been reduced for everyone:
Old: % resistance = (1 - (100/(100 + resistanceValue)) * 100
New: % resistance = (1 - (200/(200 + resistanceValue)) * 100

Total damage formula: sum of flat/permanent damage increases (e.g. from Runes) * sum of temporary battle damage boosts (e.g. Orb of Mana, Attack Up buff) * sum of on hit damage boosts (e.g. depending on target status)
Total defense formula: all effects are multiplicative as long as they are unique
