 * A duty officer’s portrait now shows when the duty officer is active instead of the Active placeholder icon.

 * Duty officer active roster Technician power is no longer a proc.
 * The amount the cooldown is reduced has been reduced to take this into account, but the effective uptime will be much higher.
