Dynamic Characters Balance tweaks

Note: Before sharing the next tweaks, I want to make sure that people understand this new system - the way this new tweaks system works is like a "META". We want to make it in a way that every character is better (or worse) at some point in game.
This means basically that any change done at one of the stages can be anytime removed / changed or even buffed further more, on next stages, depending on needs at that current change. The final tweaks will be only those from 25rr stage. Until then, anything can change.

Based on the Council's feedback for 5-10rr & our own view related to chars, this are the following tweaks for Stage 2:

RF:

• [UPDATED] RF speed gain from agility slightly buffed.
  • Note: Starting from MID-game ARF needs to shine harder than ERF at PvM role, but he currently needs a bit of help to surpass ERF.
• [UPDATED] RF ENE damage scaling (skill %) slightly nerfed.
  • Note: Same reason, needs a bit of "help" to get under ARF in terms of PvM starting from MID-game.
• [UPDATED] RF PvP damage boosted with 5%.
• [UPDATED] RF PvP damage taken from all classes boosted with 5%.
  • Note: This 2 changes should help a little to increase the chance of both other chars to kill VRF & for VRF to kill other chars, during MID-game.

DL:

• [UPDATED] DL PvM damage increased with 6%.
• [UPDATED] DL PvP damage nerfed with 8%.
  • Note: This 2 changes should help DL to be a bit better on things where he currently doesn't perform that well (PvM/Hunt) while making him a bit worse on things that he currently excels at (PvP).

AE:

• [UPDATED] PvP damage nerfed with 4%.
  • Note: Small PvP nerf for AE, she's on a good spot currently but we feel like it is just a bit over the level she has to be, on PvP.

SUM:

• [UPDATED] Nerfed SUM's PvM & PvP damage with 11%.
  • Note: The last buff from Stage 1.1 did helped a lot so far, but SUM is starting to be a power house on her own, so we're cutting a big part from the previous buff.
