Combat mods

[Goliath]

Any suggestions for a combat mod that doesn't just affect damage values but actually makes the gameplay meaningful (like dark souls, witcher 3, or other games requiring a bit of skill)? All of them that I see just make hits do more damage etc. but don't add mechanics

Yea there are some awesome combat mods. My current setup has a lot of different combat stuff going on and it really freshens the game up having exciting combat.

Sky's the limit basically on how hard you want to make it, and in what ways. Not just dmg dealt and received numbers.

I'll look through my mo and list some in a few minutes

You can use combinations of these mods and mcm menu setting to tailor a difficulty quite a bit, don't run too many tho or things just get weird. Im currently using / testing out Wildcat, Ultimate combat, and Mortal enemies. I've disabled UC's timed block and am using wildcats.
