Melee Specialist Buff

Description
Small patch to make Ideology's "Melee Specialist" role actually worth using.
The "Berserk Trance" ability now increases movement speed by 40% and increases melee hit score/melee dodge score by 18 each instead of 8 (before the post-processing that determines the actual percentage melee hit chance and melee dodge chance).

I just buffed the "Berserk Trance" ability because I'm new to Rimworld modding, I couldn't find the files for the Melee Specialist role, the "berserk trance" active seemed like the most underwhelming part of the role, and the berserk trance buff seemed sufficient to make the role worth trying.

Tested in 1.6, and works good

This sounds like a must have as a melee enjoyer. I'm eagerly waiting for the 1.4 update. Take your time :steamhappy:

@Got_It_Here from the rimworld wiki, I think it's actually the number of real-world seconds (since 1hr in-game at normal speed is 42 real-world seconds)

@Dr._Nolegs I'll try to update it shortly.

Mod's a simple def overwrite and still works, can you update the version to 1.4?

Found it. The duration is in Ideology\Defs\AbilityDefs\Abilties.xml . Current duration is 126. No idea how that translates to

And if you're looking for the Melee specialist file, they're in Data\Ideology\Defs\PreceptDefs\Precepts_Role

How would you go about extending the trance from 3 hours to 12 hours? I can't find the duration anywhere.

That was how it looked, yeah.

Oh goodness, I just realized that the way I wrote the description made it sound like the role itself gave those increased bonuses. I mean that the berserk trance ability now gives those bonuses.

Very Strong buff for the basekit melee specialist, but what exactly did you change about beserk trance?
