Instant attack normalization uses wrong multipliers

[magey]

Extensive testing on the AV beta realm (build 30786) has revealed a critical bug with instant attack normalization. It seems that all weapon types (including ranged weapons) are using Legion normalization multipliers instead of vanilla melee and ranged ones. Here they are for reference:

Weapon type	Vanilla multiplier	Legion multiplier
Two-handed	3.3	3.6
One-handed	2.4	2.6
Dagger	1.7	1.8
Ranged	2.8	3.0
