[Class]The Plaguebringer - Nurgle's Chosen

"Buboes, phlegm, blood and guts! Boils, bogeys, rot and pus! Blisters, fevers, weeping sores! From your wounds the fester pours."

— Chant sung by Plaguebearer Daemons during battle

The Chaos God Nurgle has bestowed his many gifts upon this one. Spread Contagion, eat away at their defenses from within and fuel your own being with the decay of your enemies. In death, their suffering will end.

This class is focused on a new mechanic called Contagion, which spreads the debuff to enemies within a fairly generous range upon death. It deals a small amount of damage every couple of seconds to all afflicted enemies but is also the catalyst for your health and mana regen, as well as being able to periodically allow enemy defenses to corrode away via the Corrosion passive. All attacks and skills spread Contagion, allowing large amounts of enemies to be corrupted by the many gifts of Nurgle.

This is a complete overhaul of the Witchhunter class with new sprites for most things, new skills, new passives and some reworked materials from the base class. The only thing I haven't really done much with is the base character model due to needing a photoshop subscription to mess with color channels.
