Maby what you could do with Blessed hammer is make it do 1/3 of weapon damage so if you find a really good 2 handed weapon with uber damage it will increase the dmg output of blessed hammer.

FoH i never understood why this skill was given a casting delay...... I think it should be removed to increase effectivness.

[Hades]

FOH is what I forgot on this latest bug fix release lol.I knew there was something I was forgetting. But I will remember for next one lol.
Some of these skill's may come as a surprise,with nice changes for you or penalties lol. As for the hammer ,missed that one also sorry.But I will beef it up some more next time .Right now I'm basically fixing any major or little bug's ,problem's in the mod before I move too far ahead.
I want to keep track of what is going on first before modding more major stuff.

Hades
btw keep posting any changes you would like in the skill's...

[Nevbo]

what might be kinda nice would to see special added effects to some skills...
Like say when you use whirlwind you also cast a 5 second long hurrican too that is the same level as the Whirlwind skill.
Or Vengence has a 10% chance to cast the same level of enchant, and 15% chance to cast half the level of frozen orb.
the paladin Charge skill would get a stun component
The Casting Delay on Dragon Flight be removed, and add 15% chance of crushing blow.

Sorceress new skill, Glacial orb, basicly a frozen orb with ice blasts. *not glacial spike would be too laggy*. This orb freezes the enemys.

Modifyed new skill Cold Mastery, Cold mastery not only lower's enemys resists now but it also adds in a chance for piercing attack with cold spells. Such as if you get a piercing attack with glacial spike the enemy it hits there will be a explosion but the spike will keep on going, and every enemy it hits untill it does not pierce it will expload.

Necromancer's new skill
Banchi's Cry *spelling of banchi?* Shoots out multipule bone spirits instead of just 1.

New summon's, Bone Master, and Golem master.
These are really high hp/defense mobs with low attack, they look like those electrical flying bats just for movment purposes.
The masters give huge stat boosts through synergys for the type of summon.
They also have special aura's, Bone Master has a very high level prayer aura that causes quick regain for skeletons etc. Bone master can also cast the heal spell like the act 3 priests.
Golem master has a might/blessed aim combo type aura that are mixed with each other. *this is to fix summons having issues hitting bad guys*, and when you get a golem master or a bone master, when they attack they have prevent monster heal. So even know their attack is not that strong it has a purpose.
Also the master's attacks are ranged.

Druid summons
Dump all the vine summons, they are completely useless. that is imo tho, i never use them cuz they die too fast.

Move summon bear over to where the vine summons are, Add the skill wild mastery for level 1, summon bear at level 18.
Or whatever the order is. Between wild mastery and summon bear, there is summon Bear cub. And after summon bear this is Summon Dire Bear, basicly a super version of a bear.
Dire bear can also cast shockwave.
For the wolf line, After dire wolf there are blood wolfs, You can summon up to 2 wolfs, they are VERY fast run, and VERY fast attack. They have high life leech, and do more damage than dire wolfs.
Blood wolfs also have a life leech aura on them, which can be given to the whole party.

Blood wolfs give major synergy boosts to the other wolfs.
Dire Bear gives major synergy boosts to the other bears.

Between wolfs and bears, you cannot have them both out. You can eather have the whole bear line out, *cub, bear, dire* or you can have the whole wolf line out *spirit, dire, blood*.
The wolf line each does not compair to a bear, but what they lack in dmg/hp they make up in numbers.

The skill wild mastery increases the hp to all summons, and can also increase the summon ammounts.
For spirit wolfs you can get from 5 to 8 after wild mastery is maxed, dire wolfs from 3 to 5, and blood wolfs from 2 to 3.

For bears its Bear Cubs from 2 to 3, Bears from 1 to 2, and for Dire bears you can only have 1 out, but it gives dire bear the defiance aura. *the aura level increases with wild mastery level*

The spell armageddon, increase the range around the druid to about almost full screen, greatly increase the rate of fire and the damage.
Hurrican should have cold slowing damage by its self. But after you add in the new skill Wind Mastery, it lets hurrican freeze instead of chill. Wind mastery also increases the damage to all the wind base spells, and gives longer stun for twiser*?*.
Also new wind skill, Wind blade, a high damage single attack *good for bosses etc* The damage is magical and cold.

New fire skill Fire Rune, Kinda like fire mastery but not as good. Also adds in a mana recovery skill like warmth but also not as good.



Stuff like that =P
I kinda went overboard with alot of that stuff, i only wanted to mention 1 or 2 things but the skill ideas kept coming.
And i did't wanna be over faverable to the melee classes eather =P

[Hades]

Those are actually good idea's and I'll have to go over them and decide what is feasible and what is not.but looks to me like in some way or the othe rI will add more then a few of those idea's.
Keep em coming,as this mod is basically just starting to take shape and there's along way to go.

No offense, but I rather dislike the graphic for Hades Breath. It does not fit the description if you ask me. Looks just way too weird.

At risk of sounding cliche, I think you need something green.

[Hades]

Getting around to diff colors and whatnot. I just basically wanted the basics for most of the skill graphic's and then I'm working on the new colors and looks after.Well actually I'm working on them now but they won't be ready for awhile.However just keep in mind I am working on it and good feedback.Keep it coming...

New Skill: Plague Burst

Class: Death Knight (Necromancer)

Graphic: Poison Missile from Oblivion Knights (This can be used as a base graphic if you wish to further enhance it)

How it works: Well it works like Fireball, dealing Immediate Poison damage (Over 1 second, if this isnt possible just make it magic damage). Here's the good part. When it explodes, it releases a large dose of poison, sorta like Rancid Gas Potion. That poison damage will be very good and should have a low "second" time (ex: 13,000 damage over 4 seconds)

Skill Description: Releases a large blast of poisonous gasses at a high velocity creating a missle of pure poison. These gasses are extremely contagious and spread very far and quickly.

It replaces: Poison Dagger

Synergies:
+15% Damage to the Poison Clouds (Poison Explosion)
+8% Missle Damage (Hades Breath)

Synergies it gives:
(Poison Explosion)
+15% Poison Damage

(Hades Breath)
+10% Poison Damage

[Hades]

Oh btw I've made poison nova with the old poison green graphic.Just to get it green again lol.Besides it looks better now.
