Bug Fixes

• Skills that raise Support by a flat value stack correctly. Previously, combining Support buffing skills like Field Commander and Growth Serum would appear to apply correctly on the stats page, but would not apply benefits to Support-improved skills like Field Medic.
• Updated Berzerker's description from "Attack an enemy three times for massive damage" to "Attack an enemy for massive damage".

• 4 new Necrotek weapon theme hairstyles have been added (#555-558).
