PvP: You can no longer enter a Chronicle or Warfront while in combat.

- Many dungeon terrain shortcuts have been fixed. Please bug report any that are still an issue!

- Nightblade: Fell Blades: Fixed a bug where the healing siphon caused the Nightblade to break stealth when the debuffed target was healed.

CLIENT
- Client optimizations!
- The game now tries to work around a bug in AMD Llano CPUs (AMD models A4-3XXX, A6-3XXX and A8-3XXX) that was causing frequent crashes. If you use one of these processors you should notice improved client stability.
