Hello all - I've been away for awhile because I was pregnant and had a baby!

I'm toying with the idea of creating another class, and one that's top of mind is a Witch Doctor type class. If you have any specific ideas for skills for class or ideas for other classes you'd love to see, I'd love to hear them.

Cheers!

If you have any requests/suggestions for new mods - please list them here. Thanks!

Please leave detailed notes regarding bugs or suggestions for the Cryomancer class I'm working on. Thank you!

Hi folks -

The Mirage mod is still in progress, but please leave any initial impressions (ie. this skill doesn't seem useful, these effects aren't ideal, cooldown should be longer, etc).

I'm also very interested in new skill ideas that aren't yet built but would round out this set.

I've spent a lot of hours on this one so far, so I hope you enjoy playing with it!

Thanks!

Hi all -

I added levelling among other things to the Vampire mod, and its getting close to launchable. Please spend as much time testing as you're able, and provide feedback on bugs and balancing. As always, I love to hear what you are enjoying about it, as well as any suggestions you might have.

I'd also love to see screenshots from your playthroughs if you're willing to share - maybe we can even use some on the mod page. :)

Thanks so much!

I defaulted skills to Warrior track but they use weapon damage, so if you are using a staff it'll boost on Intelligence, daggers on Finesse, etc. Let me know how you think that's working...

Hi MariMorganez - Too much to list, but the biggest thing is that you can now unlock new powers at levels 3, 7, 11, 15 and 19. :) Note that the level 3 powers are not set up yet, so you won't get much there.

There's also a progressive status for Bitten which I'll be tuning (Biting again while Bitten produces Maimed, then Ravaged).

I'm at the point where I'll really need levelling/balancing input for the skills - how many AP, cooldown (and source points if applicable, as well as levelling the actual skillbooks) so please provide whatever you can. I haven't done much of that yet, so in some cases don't be afraid to tell me that they're way off. : I'll be working on a review of the sounds and effects too.

Thanks in advance guys - I always look forward to your feedback and suggestions!

To both of you - what ability do you think it should scale with? I went with dual swords because no other class had it already and it looked bad-ass, but it pretty much means things have to scale with Strength. Also harder to balance with dual wield. Vampires to me feel more closely aligned with Finesse, but I hesitated to do another dual dagger build because its already been done. Originally I had some skills associated with Necromancy (and therefore scaling with Intelligence) and others with Warrior (with Strength) for flexibility, but I can see how that would be confusing.



@RickGrimes74:

Yeah I have some things to clean up with sounds, but thank you for the specifics!

I fixed Soul Armor doing damage for the next build (not published yet) per your feedback.

I wasn't seeing the same thing with Regurgitate but I'll test it more thoroughly.

I like the blood surface / bleeding AOE boost idea - I'll think about that.

Slash is set to damage two enemies if they're close enough together. I love Whirlwind too and felt like I missed it here, but I didn't want it to feel like a straight clone. Any idea for what it could do differently? Maybe change slash to 360 but lower damage and keep the bleeding?

Thanks!



@MariMorganez:

The main benefit of Hunt which may not be obvious is that it can eradicate Blind or Deaf statuses in addition to revealing invisible enemies. I'll put some thought into that one.

Agree that Undeath is meh and maybe Feign Death should be kept for Undead. I tried to make the class playable by both live & undead characters.

I've struggled with the physical vs magic vs piercing damage. I think I need to get a better sense of the balance from other tracks, but they probably stick to one, I'd think. I liked a mix for more variety/flexibility, but - IDK.

I like Levitate (and several people have asked for it) but I think I might lower it to just a single turn, so you can use it strategically but its not too OP. Also raise to 2AP maybe?

I included Throw Daggers because it annoys me to have melee only builds. I can definitely decrease the damage considerably though.

Exsanguinate will require a source point, for sure.

I'll dig into Four Course Meal and lower healing or damage or both.

Thanks!

Hi @MariMorganez - None of it is balanced yet - some of those ones you called out as being 1 or 2 AP may have a source point cost or be 4 AP. Thanks for the reactions!

Hi all -

Please leave detailed feedback and suggestions for the Vampire class mod here.
