Idea:
Either make all spells get interrupted as much as the others (monks
with 100 disc, rarely interrupted 1rnd spells vs. priests with 40-50
disc, easily interrupted 6rnd spells), or uptune both effect of
discipline and the amount evil guilds get

Rationale:
Of course priests whine now, they are pretty much the only guild that
_really_ needed the Nimbus. And yes, of course the "whines" come in
now, that needing discipline anyway (I remember discipline whines
before Nimbus).

Pre-tune many templars/bards who owned Nimbus, didn't use it, as some
+7dodge item was more useful (they got the spells off anyway). Shorter
spells which get interrupted way less in the first place (try 1000
rounds of clws vs 1000 rounds of habo, huge difference in amount of
interrupts)

Only priests really need discipline. When I was habotank in the old
days, and didn't know about baal shield, you could get habos in with
meta+lips frontrow tank (yes, boons somewhat required, is this really
good?). Doing exp was out of question, as any 150k mob interrupts
single tank more than 1m mobs stop 3 tanks. (With the amount of
interrupts I get from 5k mobs I'm sure the new tune didn't change that
fact, no test data on that yet though).

Back to discipline. It fails ALOT. with my current 80% I get about 30%
success ratio (with not enough testing). With 100% discipline it still
works only at <40% rate apprently. Looking at this, yes, Nimbus was
too good. Maybe some x% (50? 90?) success would have been better.
