Skills: Elementalist Touch Skills Get Spell Affinity Bonus

[SignedName]

Give HtH attacks by the Elementalist a damage boost based on the Spell Affinity of the element being used (this damage bonus does not stack with Brass Knuckles as it's magical in nature). So a Fist while Cold Touch is activated would do 10 Cold Damage (4+5 Spell Affinity+1 Elementalist skill affinity) if you know every cold spell.

They currently get the spell type capstone effect (if any), plus the elemental bonus from purchasing same element elementalist skills.
That means a Haymaker with knuckles, Conjure Sinews, Potion of Strength, Potion of X Affinity, maxed spell affinity & elemental affinity is 6 (knuckles haymaker) + 4 (sinews/strength) + 5 (spell aff) + 5 (elemental aff) + capstone = 20 elemental damage + capstone
That's a petmaster being able to punch for 20 damage / AP

I personally think Elementalists punching is pretty decent already, being able to hit 15 + capstone, although they could use a couple damage more maybe.

+4 from golem form if you so choose, as well (assuming that's still how golem form works)

Makes sense to do this, especially as currently touch spells are so much stronger than HTH with the full tree for elementalist, something I've realised after buying the spell tree and punch tree.

Conjure Sinews/Strength isn't free, it involves an AP/MP investment. The 10 MP used to cast Conjure Sinews can be used to make 10 Touch attacks, which do 18 damage at 70% to hit (Haymaker is 60% to hit, so it's actually more damage/AP than Haymaker). Not to mention the 70 CP going into the HtH tree + Conjure Sinews. Also I specified, does not stack with Brass Knuckles, so in practice it'd be 19 damage, not 20.

Also, if we take Potions into account, there are already Petmasters that can do 20 damage per hit- Wyrm Master can do 20 damage with Acid Spittle + Spell Affinities + Acid Affinity Potion.
