Walk/run speed - Revision history

Trang Oul: /* Player */ maximum change (abs), not ordinary maximum (was meaningless for effects that slow the target down); fixed negative FRW for Slows Target

Player: maximum change (abs), not ordinary maximum (was meaningless for effects that slow the target down); fixed negative FRW for Slows Target

DarkMasterMan: Added Impale since it applies slowing in D2R that is also its own separate source of slowing (and thus can stack with other slows): https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/127638-d2r-impale-slowing-technical-details/
