Profession: Smuggler

* Smuggler Expertise: Armor expertise values will be recalculated properly for expertise, if you are not wearing armor.

* Smuggler Expertise: Underworld Faction gain/loss will now update range values for equipped weapons and armor values.

* Smuggler Expertise: The Fake ID skill prerequisite has been changed from none to Fast Talk.

* Smuggler Expertise: The Expertise ability Bleed 2 should not show up as a level 70 ability as it is associated with the Gun Oil expertise.

* Smuggler Expertise: The Expertise abilities Fast Talk and Sly Lie should not give buffs if there isn't a Smuggling system quest NPC around to use them on.

* Smuggler Expertise: The Expertise ability Precision Strike had the wrong damage values (too high). This has been balanced with a faster cool-down (5 seconds instead of 7) and fixed the incorrect damage values that were allowing extremely high hits with the End of the Line Smuggler buff. Precision Strike and Fast Draw action costs were too high and have been lowered (were 1.2 times the damage and now are 1.1).

* Smuggling System: The PvP front money requirement is now properly enforced in the conversation.
