May 2019 KDN PvP Patch

Previously I posted rough translations for May 2019 PvP KDN Bringer changes (AW and LF).

Because of this previous post was lacking information, I decided to submit a new topic at PvP section detailing changes for other classes, however, my submissions were not approved (already attempted submitting twice, been posting since last week, and I am noticing new topics being approved not including my submissions).

SO, instead of creating a third one, I will just post here the other class changes.
