Butcher Class Mod Redux

Hey everyone! Lot of time has passed since my last mods, but i finally made Butcher's rework. I was thinking about this project for a long time, but had no time to actually do it. Anyway, here it is, and i hope you'll like it. Now, about the rework itself. Main part of the rework is graphical: i completely overhauled every one of Butcher'ssprites and animations. His idle and walk animations remain same: based on BH, but they are much more detailed and proportional than before. Butcher's new combat and skills sprites taken from a Brigand Cuttroath and Raider. I tried to make his Idle/Walk animations look as fitting as possible to Combat and Skills' ones.
That way class becomes more individual and less similiar to BH in combat. Sprites rework is mod's biggest part, but i also rebalances some of his skills and trinkets just a little bit, here's the changes:
Honor Guard's Tassle is now Very Rare Trinket, instead of Ancestral. It seemed more fitting to me, so Ancestral trinkets remain more exclusive and hard to obtain.
Most of Butcher skills now have BOTH bonus accuracy against Marked and Stunned, providing more synergies with other classes.
Fixed Regroup's level 4 and 5 buff to work correctly.
Inspiring Command now affects all Butcher's allies, instead of ranks 2 and 3.
I also reworked Butcher's skills icons, to be more smooth and fit his skills.
Fixed localization issues for German language.
One more thing, Butcher now have some little extra lines in fight with Vvulf, which refer to his past.
That's about it, i wanted to make Butcher look more unique and intimidating, hope i succeeded in doing that.

By the way, it's probably obvious, but you can't use both Redux version and the old one, you have to choose which one you want to use in your game.

Feared even by other Brigands, Butcher was one of most skilled of Vvulf's enforcers. Taken by Brigands as a kid, he was trained to kill all his life. Working on the Ancestor, Butcher's bloodlust was satisfied every day,by killing and robbing Hamlet's militia. After Ancestor's death, when Brigands returned to plundering the Old Road, Butcher was bored, missing the days of bloody work for Ancestor. When he heard, that Ancestor's heir arrived,offering job to anyone, he left the Brigands, hoping to kill for Ancestor's family and get paid for this, just like in the old days.

Butcher is frontline Damage dealer that can quickly finish of enemies one after another.
He has some features my other classes don't, because i wanted to make him more unique.
Even though he is Frontliner he has less HP points than other Frontline DDs do. I made this to balance his high damage with little HP, however, he has medium-high dodge and his high level armor gives him some PROT.
All of his attacks has synergy with mark or stun, meaning it's usefull to bring supports with such skills with him. Some of his attacks are not too accurate, but his accuracy is greatly boosted against stunned or marked foes.
He has mark skill himself, which mark two enemies, but is RNG based, meaning sometimes you won't get mark at all. This ability is buffed on levels 3, 4 and 5, buffing the chance to 75%, 90%, and 100%.
He is considered Heavy class, and belongs to House of Yellow Hand district(Crimson Court).
