HotFix 1.08d

- Fixed Vanilla bug preventing Winter Blast benefiting from Elemental Affinity.
- Fixed potential talent point addition involving Parry Master and the respec mirror.
- Fixed a Treasure Table bug introduced with the last update causing Skill Books to drop more often than intended.
- Fixed Phoenix Fire Quiver from iterating Summons as part of it's targeting script.
- Fixed a bug with Windrazor and Combat Reflexes overlapping.
- Fixed a memorizing bug when toggling Blessed/Cursed Smoke Cover.

- Reverted radius of Hail Strike to 1m from 2m.
- Blessed/Cursed Smoke Cover will now maintain the last version of the skill cast until manually toggled again.
- Phoenix Fire Quiver now soars down from the sky starting approx +10m above the shooter's position.
- Sabatons of Living Flame will no longer work with Fire Spark procs.

-V1.09 is planned to involve mostly new encounters / items and balance tweaks including updates to NPCs with recent skills.

- Fixed Player character mismatch with Classic and Story mode modifiers.

HotFix 1.08c

- Fixed a rare bug that allowed shields to roll CON more than once.
- Shields will no longer roll Burning/Poison/Chill on touch as these effects are heavy AI aggro deterrents.
- Shield stat randomization has been mixed up for a greater variety including +2 to some combat skills from +1 and +2 Retribution added with X% Melee Damage Reflected as X Damage since damage reflection does not stack this helps make such a stat more universally useful and valued by "thorns" play styles.
- Shields now always have a rune slot. (Least till I figure out why witchcraft is causing randomization problems)
- Brigand Maneuvers and Terrifying Cruelty have been re-scripted to check for Armor / Statuus values aprox 250ms after damage is resolved. Previously they were using the same hit layer as the Global Backstab script and Rune of Potency causing a wider than intended variance in their conditional checks.
- Strategist Vitality multiplier increased by +5%.
- Heavy Enemies add-on Vitality Multipliers increased to 220% from 200%.

- Tactician mode has been altered in scaling from vanilla to a less sharp curved version of Strategist as I believe it was giving players the wrong impression of Conflux. Most notably with boss encounters.
Old Tactician Scailing

New Tactician Scailing

Strategist by Comparison


Conflux Add-on IDKFA is being added later today. A separate mod to grab Unique items from various acts players might have missed or want to test out.

QuickFix:
- Fixed Parry Master from causing Talent issues. This Talent technically adds and removes two talents (one of which is unlisted) and some adjustments has to be made to the talent point pool to compensate.

QuickFix:
- Flowing Recollection skill bonus / skill memorize issues fixed for real this time. Had to create a totally new script to math the differences in Skill bonuses rather than removing the status itself which is what caused skill removal situations.
- Thaumaturgy Warlord's 50% Bonus damage from Strength to Magic skills has been fixed and now also includes Finesse (whichever is highest).
- Added missing duration to Elemental Swarm Summon Skill.
- Fixed iteration script for Fated Whisper which decided not to join us in the last update.

HotFix V1.08b

- Fixed Knight Regent Acheron Y Axis targeting issue.
- Fixed Flowing Recollection high end memory buff gap for characters with exactly 50 memory slots.
- Fixed Memory bonus counting issue with Flowing Recollection and added Combat Check for it's skill bonuses. They won't be removed out of combat.
- The vanilla Fire-based Sab skill has been reverted so there's no confusion between Conflux and Odinblade's Pyro. You can still find the Conflux version on any Scoundrel vendor but crafting will result in the base fire version.
- Judgement of Terra's Damage multipliers reduced to 60% from 65%.
- Skill books on vendors have been appended for mod compatibility with others who add books to vanilla vendors.
- Fixed Fated Whisper to only iterate furthest Enemy NPCs.
- Fixed a hit prevention bug with Sursia's Cataclysmic Firestorm.

- Improving Smoke tactical value: Cursed Smoke will now Blind through Magic Armor and linger for 1 turn. Blessed Smoke Cover Skill can alternate instead of relying on targeting an enemy for it's Cursed Smoke variant. Simply prepare the skill then right click cancel to switch between types. This will greatly improve it's positioning potential. Black Shroud now also Slows through magic Defenses increasing time characters are stuck inside while blind and suffocating.
- Blessed Smoke Cloud Skill has been detached from it's vanilla version to prevent mod conflicts with it's new mechanics. You can find the Conflux version on any Scoundrel vendor similar to Smoke Cover.


- New Skill



- Had more planned for this update but the Talent and Boss bugs were high priority.

QuickFix:

- Added both new and previous scripted events for Phoenix Quiver as the new method has a different dupe issue.
- Fixed Guerrilla talent to trigger off the newly created Sabotage skills. Accidently broke this Talent feature while adding compatibility for Odin's Pryo.
- Added Knight Regent Acheron Dialog fallback aggro in case the script interates one of Odinblade's Huntsman Overhaul summons. This doesn't happen with Incarnate or Conflux summons. I suspect the "Summon" tag is not present or some other interaction but the game considers these players for some reason.
- Added Ommadon Dialog Fallback aggro for the same reason as above.
- Revamped Unique drop Visual/Audio effects to be much more pronounced and hard to miss.

Forgot Loop prevention on that last minute Intercept Script. That would have been fun.
