- Talent:


- All characters now have 0.5 AP worth of free movement. Distance increases at half value with movement bonuses similar to The Pawn talent.
- Aura effects have been globally changed. Any instance of damage, destroy armor or CC can only be attempted once per turn. Many effects have been buffed to compensate the previous AP cost to dance back and forth procing auras.
- Opportunist Talent quick tweak. Now deals notably more damage. +40% bonus damage for 1-handed and +30% for two-handed.
- Revamped Global Conflux Status iterations. Outside some behind the scene tweaks, each Conflux status has it's own scripted display for it's name. This means overhead status text will not overload and fail to show the status name.
- Wits now gives 1.5 Initiative per point from 1. Gear that rolls Initiative has been increased in value. This is so players can better define which character they want to go first in combat.
- Vitality rolls on armor other than rings has been increased by 20%.

- Talent Injector (Normal) has been updated with 50% more talent variety based on (High) which has about 20% more.

- Equilibrium alternating bonus damage reduced to 30% from 40%.

- Front Attack angle increased to 70 degrees from 60 in reference to 360 degrees around a character.

- New -

- Yuri the Avocado wanted Rain Fire.

- Changes -

- Drastically improved the hit targeting of Dragon's Talon and fixed incompatibility with Torturer.

-Fixes-

- Fixed a custom script interaction for a vanilla boss in Act3.

- Dragon Talon came out with the wrong ray damage attached. Intended 90% not 120%. Currently all 3 lines converge and hit targets within 1m of the caster. This is intended by design to be a conditional clutch melee skill, not generic damage output.
- Cinder Blitz damage multiplier reduced to 60% from 65%.
- Mirage Arrow increase to 3AP from 2AP. Tried not to increase it's AP cost since it was introduced. Projetile damage increased to 100% from 80%. Clone damage increased by 20%.

- Fixes -

- Reverted Vitality calculation change for Pact of Shadows.

Retribution now has a Rank 5 perk - Retribution reflects received attack or magical damage back to the attacker. If you have 5 or more ranks in this skill you will restore 10% vitality damage taken from characters at all times.

-Changes-

- Polymorph Fly now gives 1.5s of Floating to prevent "why" axis issues with ground terrain.
- NPCs who use inivs now gain floating. I realize it's kinda nonsense but so is walking right into fire after.
- Adding missing Discipline limitation to Utmost Fury.

- Changed about 5 skills that used a Shock middle-man status to Shock from Electrified surface changes.

Patch: 1.09.170

-New-

New Skills"






-Changes-

- Conflux's Vendor trash clearing script is now a Config Orb option for players to chose to use it or not.
- King of Ice no longer creates frozen surfaces while moving. This was mostly for flavor but now has anti-synergy with King of Flames.
- Leech Talent updated to respond to Static Discharge for normal electrified surfaces.

Patch: 1.09.16

-New-

- Conflux will now track items sold to traders and remove these from their inventory every 40 minutes. Keep your favorite traders nice and clean. This feature does not remove story items so you can't accidentally scuff a quest. It piggy backs the base trade generation refresh script and takes effect 30 seconds before.
- Accelerant can now be produced with Necrofire. This was also done for Proliferate a while back.

- AI Action Weight Changes:
- Reflection targeting weight reduced to 0.05 from 0.25. In testing this resulted in the AI being willing to kill itself due to reflect damage even high as 120% in value. The difference in target choice was negligible. There's an increase in weight when attacking would 0 out either armor value.
- Taunted targeting weight increased to 10.0 from 5.0. In testing this resulted in the AI being willing to move up to 10m in distance to the taunter with x3 the armor value of a Glass Cannon character directly next to them. Reflect still had negligible effect on AI targeting. Further distance sometimes resulted in the AI delaying turn due to extreme weight testing. This is not intended to be a 100% chance which is 20.0 weight, just more reliable.
- Shield Block targeting weight reduced to 0.25 from 1.5. While this stat is rather silly, it's been set to the same value AI cares about Accuracy Vs Dodge.

-Changes-

- Re-scripted Lua tooltip override text to also use local XML files for better translation compatibility.
- Added an improved version of the original "No High Ground Distance Bonus" for lua script for teleports thanks to Focus tweaks. This is the version that considered bonus range like Arcanist or Far Sight.
- Reduced Tactician Mode NPC Damage growth to 35% from 40%.
- Optimized old Global Rune Status Proc script. This will improve any potential script lag when inserting/removing runes. Changed Weapon type checks using a Lua custom query that newer scripts use. This is for compatibility with other mods that don't tag their weapons properly.
- Updated Runic Arsenal ranged weapon check for Cleaving runes with newer custom query.
- Increase Rune Status proc chance to 20/25/30/35% from 5/8/10/15% with Giant Mystic at 100% from 50% for 2 turns.
- Increase Dynamic rolled Weapon Status proc chance for 1-handed by 5% and two-handed by 10% for non Hard CC statuses. Added slight weapon variations, Daggers have higher bleed chance, while maces have higher cripple chance. Unique items have also been adjusted along with some creatures including Ifan's Wolf.
- King of Ice's Permafrost Slow Aura increased to -20% from -15% which naturally causes enemies suffering from Congeal to become immobile.
- King of Flames now causes Burning and Necrofire to bypass armor of the talent user. Active skill no longer creates fire surface.
- Thick of the Fight now only applies bonus damage to weapon scaling attacks and skills.
- Spiked Hide now grants 8 Retribution (40% Reflect) from a flat 50% Reflect making it ideal for stacking Retribution.
- Static Cloud Arrow, Poison Cloud Arrow and Steam Cloud Arrow radius increased to 3m from 2m.
- Explosive Arrow damage increased to 95% from 80% Weapon Damage, radius increased to 3m from 2m.
- Elemental Swarm has been set to "base" AI type. Both Swarm and Shadow clone now have Floating status since the flag doesn't work.

- Vitalize healing increased to 170% qualifier from 165%.
- Arcane Stitch now has healing qualifier 150%. Magic Armor restore reduced to 50% from 100%.

- Living on the Edge and it's Soul Ward have been reduced to 3 turns each from 4 turns.
- Mobile Bulwark Armor bonus increased to 40% from 30%.
- Crippling Blow will no longer snap to targets allowing easier use of it's small AoE.
- LoEN's Shadow Meld skill will now show it's radius for better targeting.
- Normal Electrified surface chance to proc Electric Discharge increased to 30% from 25%.
- Revered Buff now grants +1 SP per turn instead of -3 SP cost.

*Crowd Control consumables re-balance*
Zero cooldown CC options have proven too difficulty to work around so many of them have been changed.

- Removed Charm Scrolls from crafting and treasure tables.
- Tremor Grenade radius reduced to 3m from 4m.
- Knock Down Arrow is now Ruination Arrow dealing 80% Weapon Damage as Magic Damage, applying a scaling Attribute debuff and -15% Vitality. The NPC version of this status reduces damage by -30% to avoid players getting naked mid-fight. Any effect that cures Weakness will cure this effect.
- Charm Arrow is now Silver Arrow dealing 80% Weapon Damage as Physical Damage in a 3m radius applying Bleed for 2 turns. If a character is Undead or Voidwoken the arrow deals +50% Bonus damage.

- Fixed Ataraxian Knave's helm physics issue.
- Fixed vanilla Sallow Man Plague description claiming it's removed by Cure Wounds when this was never true.
- Potentially fixed Cremation visual remaining after death. Can't tell if this is SE or order of operations.

HotFix: 1.09.152

- Fixed a HitObject check for Thurg Warlord forked Projectiles.
- Fixed scripting between Player and Enemy version for Vindication of Gaia causing double procs.
