Infinite500 v3.0b: Revised high level play for ToME 1.5.0

Version 3.0: Compatible with ToME 1.5.0

This addon supports game play for character levels higher than 50, primarily for the infinite dungeon (I.D.). This implements a number of subtle changes, rescaling game mechanics and balance for character levels above 50 in the Maj'Eyal, Infinite, and Arena campaigns for ToME. The intent is to make it possible (though certainly not easy) to reach level 500 of the Infinite Dungeon. This is not a nerf or a buff to game difficulty per se, but, rather, an extension of the well-balanced game play from the Maj'Eyal campaign to higher levels.

Some talents and status effects have been adjusted to accommodate the higher character levels possible. You can see a summary of these by checking the "Infinite500" tab in Game Options.

Once a character enters the I.D., the level 50 cap is removed and normal stats-per-level progression is enabled from level 51 onward. The limit on how high primary stats may be trained is removed (limited by character level as normal) and dependent computed value limits are also appropriately increased. No additional Prodigies are gained automatically after level 50. (Note that additional category points and (rarely) Prodigies can be gained by completing I.D. challenges.) Talent mastery levels can be improved more than once, and talent levels are unlearnable as normal in the I.D.

NPC levels in the I.D. have been adjusted to be compatible with higher game difficulty settings.

Most monsters and bosses from the Maj'Eyal campaign are imported into the I.D. along with their respective unique drops.

Traps have been added back to the I.D.

Isolated shops can appear randomly in the I.D. There is guaranteed to be at least one shop on level 1, and they become more common for the first few levels, and then more rare with depth.

Random escorts may be randomly generated on each level in the I.D. unless a challenge has been started, until the normal number (9) have been attempted.

The lichform quest is completed in the I.D. with a new random drop instead of automatically being completed at the appropriate step. There is a new greater vault in the I.D. that affects this quest.

The Corruption/Hexes tree can be learned from a new random drop.

Most major events from the Maj'Eyal campaign are enabled in the I.D., and there is a new event that can award the cursed-aura tree.

Undead characters starting in the I.D. begin with an artefact cloak. This is similar to the Cloak of Deception, but its stats scale with character level and it can spawn randomly for other characters.

This addon incorporates some modified game mechanics:
The ability to shrug off critical hits has been changed. Instead of using the percent value to ignore crits completely, it reduces the crit multiplier by the same amount to a minimum of 100%.

Modified checkHit and checkHitOld functions are employed that allow for wider level differences between opponents (see http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=35229).
Saving throws have been modified slightly to make them more effective at reducing the duration of status effects you fail to save against. (See http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=36715 for details.)

Things planned for the future: scaling of world artefacts with character level, map effects with dungeon level.

Infinite500 v3.0b: Revised high level play for ToME 1.5.0

Ashes of Urh'Rok 1.5.0

Official Expansion!

Many in Maj'Eyal have heard of "demons", sadistic creatures who appear seemingly from nowhere, leaving a trail of suffering and destruction whereever they go. Their Fearscape floats far above the skies, watching and waiting, but not idly; their agents scout the land, their legions build up their forces, and their scholars develop new spells and strategies. As the barrier between our worlds begins to crack under their scrutiny, helpless Eyalites have begun to disappear, whisked up to serve as their slaves and playthings. They imbue these victims with magical powers to better survive the ensuing stresses - can you use your new-found abilities to escape the legions of Mal'Rok?

Features:

  • Start with a new class, the Doombringer! These avatars of demonic destruction charge into battle with massive two-handed weapons, cutting swaths of firey devastation through hordes of opponents. Armed with flame magic and demonic strength, they delight in fighting against overwhelming odds, softening up the crowd with waves of fire, then feeding on the flames and suffering of their surroundings to stay alive while quickly reducing any group to a pile of ash and gore.
  • Unlock a new class, the Demonologist, with an all-new item enhancement mechanic! Bearing a shield and the magic of the Spellblaze itself, these melee-fighting casters can grow demonic seeds from their fallen enemies. Imbue these seeds onto your items to gain a wide array of new talents and passive benefits, and summon the demons within them to fight on your side! Ever looked at a gigantic demon-cursed minotaur and wished it was on your side for once? Well, now you CAN summon one to pound your foes into paste while you cast devastating spells from afar, or call forth a squad of Fire Imps to pelt your enemies to death while they exhaust themselves on your impenetrable defenses! Demons have persistent health, making them a little more precious than disposable necromancer skeletons or summoner beasts, but can be revived from death nonetheless.
  • Two new zones, with all-new art, foes, and bosses! You've seen the plains of the Fearscape before, now see the lairs and headquarters of the demons themselves!
  • Over 10,000 words of written lore to find! The demons were once an enlightened, peaceful race, hailing from a distant planet known as Mal'Rok; learn what drove them to plot Eyal's eternal torture! Discover monuments to each of the demonic species and noteworthy individuals, showing the place of honor each has among them! Get a glimpse into the culture and daily lives of these sadistic invaders and their brainwashed thralls!
  • Unlock a new race, Doomelves: Shalore who've taken to the demonic alterations especially well, corrupting their typical abilities into a darker form. Blink away to safety, transform into a shadowy dúathedlen to hide in the shadows or prey on your foes with blasts of darkness, use your new resilience to soak up status effects and critical hits, and assault your enemies' minds to leave them unsteady in combat!
  • Between the aforementioned classes and Doomelves, a whopping 75 new talents!
  • Unlock two new cosmetic options! You know you've always wanted demon-horns.
  • Two new events, appearing anywhere in Eyal!
  • 20 new artifacts, with unique and interesting effects. Collect the Obsidian Treasures to amass more and more power! Slip your hands into the Will of Ul'Gruth and watch your sweeping blows smash down walls! Wear a giant hideous hell-mouth as a fashionable belt!
  • 7 new achievements! Conquer the worst Urh'Rok's forces can throw at you, and hang their metaphorical skulls from your profile page!

Tinker Tinkering 1.5.0

A collection of small quality-of life tweaks for tinker-using characters in the Embers of Rage DLC. Notable changes:

  • New tinker recipe Regeneration Salve.
  • In the Create Tinker dialog, place initial focus in the recipes list for ease of keyboard navigation.
  • Expand the descriptions of schematics in tinker stores and recipes in the Create Tinker dialog to include more useful information.
  • For characters with both a transmogrification chest and an Automated Portable Extractor, the latter will automatically be used for items that yield ingredients when melted, and the former will be used for the rest for fortress energy (controlled by game options "Gameplay | Multiplexed transmogrification" and "Gameplay | Multiplexed transmogrification minimum tier").
  • Schematics for tinkers you've already learned can optionally be listed in a different color in stores and in player inventory for easier distinction (controlled by game option "Gameplay | Highlight learned schematics in stores").
  • (new in v1h) Mental stimulator tinkers are altered to confer sleep resistance.

Donators/Buyers bonus!
Items Vault 1.5.0

Faster Run/Rest/Explore 1.0.6

Important: this addon will have no effect if left unconfigured! Please read the description!

Recommended settings:

hit escape -> video options
  • Requested FPS: 30
  • Resting divider: 10
  • Running divider: 5

Description:

Enables faster run/resting by use of FPS dividers.

These dividers simply divide the game's requested FPS by their respective values while resting or running. After starting a new game or loading a saved character, configure this addon by hitting escape -> video options. Setting these dividers to something greater than one can substantially reduce the amount of time required to finish resting/running on older computers.

Just be careful when resting on an escort mission...

Faster Run/Rest/Explore 1.0.6

Mage Knight 1.5.5

Adds the Mage Knight metaclass, and its six sub-classes.

Forum discussion thread: http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=48329

Phoenix Knight: Powerful warriors who blast their foes with solar fire while calling healing light upon their allies. Their solar fire attacks will strike as either fire or light damage, whichever will hit their target the hardest, and their potent healing and cleansing abilities make them tough opponents to bring down.

Mind Knight: Psionic warriors who strengthen their mental abilities by tapping into their inner magic. Adept at telekinesis, telepathy, and teleportation, they are mobile scouts who can quickly get a lay of the land and sow chaos among their foes with physical and mental debilitations, or even outright compulsions.

Storm Knight: Swift skirmishers who rely on extreme mobility and powerful lightning magic to strike their foes down and avoid reprisals. Extremely fast and difficult to pin down, they can cast entire enemy units into disarray with their wealth of area attacks. All mage knights can cast while they fight, but experienced storm knights are also able to fight while they move.

Earth Knight: The heaviest of infantry, earth knights hammer their foes with physical and natural forces while shielding themselves with the power of the earth. Highly resilient in the face of any attack, earth knights provide a slow and steady offense supported by powerful gemstone shields and the endurance of a living mountain.

Sea Knight: Healers first, fighters second, battle mages a somewhat distant third, while sea knights lack the raw offensive power of other mage knights, they make up for it with amazing personal defense and recovery abilities. And though their attacks may be individually weak, like the sea itself, they are able to wear down even the strongest defenses eventually, eroding their opponents away with gradually strengthening spells, making them terrors in a battle of attrition.

Mana Knight: Experimenting pioneers who do amazing things with raw magical energy. They have the most conventional magical training of the mage knights, even if they sometimes put it to unconventional use. Their arcane attacks can overwhelm the powers of other spellcasters, and while they lack the scope of power of full-fledged archmages, they are masters of the fundamentals of the various arcane schools.

Possessor Bonus Class 1.5.4

Possessor Bonus Class 1.5.4

Pepper Pack 1.4.8

Adds classes, races, objects and other stuff into the game.

Class: Performer / Bard

Jacks of all trades, masters of none, Bards are known for being proficient in a vast array of talents, such as melee and ranged combat, spellcasting and performing capabilities and blend all of these styles into a very versatile mix.

Race: Animal / Bunnymorph (& Kruk variant)

Bunnymorphs are former humanoids morphed into bunnies by a spooky evil dark wizard. This transformation rendered them more fragile but gave them some special talents.
Kruk Bunnymorphs are a more physically apt variant of Bunnymorphs, as they have orcish origins.

Objects and other additions include rapiers, whips, harps, flutes, lutes, singing swords, a new item type (instrument), a new resource pool (melody), a new damage type (sound), a new escort type, a sizable amount of new egos centered around melody, sound damage, new talents and a handful of new artifacts.

Thanks to rexorcorum for all the custom images and to game-icons.net for the custom icons.

Eternal Darkness 1.5.0

Embers of Rage 1.5.0

Official Expansion!

One year has passed since the one the Orcs call the "Scourge from the West" came and single-handedly crushed the Orc Prides of Grushnak, Vor, Gorbat, and Rak'Shor.  The Allied Kingdoms, now linked by farportal to their distant, long-lost Sunwall allies, have helped them conquer most of Var'Eyal.  The few remnants of the ravaged Prides are caged...  but one Pride remains.  Kruk Pride, isolated on an island, is the last orcish settlement that stands; they, too, face their impending doom.  The Sunwall has blockaded the only exit point from the island, and now, the technologically advanced civilization of Steam Giants have come down from the mountains to take their homeland with machines and weaponry unlike anything else on Eyal.  Kruk Pride has reverse-engineered their technology before; their only hope is to do it again and rise up against the Pride's foes.
 

Features:

  • Explore a whole new campaign from level 1 to 50, one year after the events of the original Tales of Maj'Eyal campaign. Liberate the Orcs (or die trying) by rising up against the Sunwall, the Steam Giants of Atmos, and other dangers that may lie in wait...
  • Play as one of three new races: the battle-hardened Orcs, the brutal Yetis, and the unstoppable Whitehooves. Discover their stories, their pains, their hopes... and their awesome racial powers!
  • Risk your life in over 20 unique zones! Explore the ruins of a lost city, lay siege to the Sunwall forces at the Gates of Morning, and raid the Steam Giants' mining quarry - each has its own unique foes and hazards, leading each to feel and play different from the others.
  • Play as one of the four new tinker classes: Gunslingers, Sawbutchers, Psyshots and Annihilators! Plus a class evolution: Technomancers! Crush and rend your foes with heavy metal, electrocute and immolate them with your gadgets, charge across the battlefield or nimbly strafe in style - each plays differently, and none provide any shortage of ways to slay your foes.
  • Master steam technology to build powerful tinkers to augment your equipment. Need to close in a bit quicker? Turn your boots into rocket boots! Having a hard time deciding whether to shoot someone or stab them? Build a Hand Cannon into your gloves, or deploy a Weapon Automaton to do the stabbing for you! If you have a problem, steamtech has a solution, usually involving explosions; with over 80 different powerful contraptions to craft, enjoy unparalleled versatility and trying something different with every playthrough.
  • Master the tactical uses of over 140 talents! Fire bouncing trick-shots and psychic-infused shots, use your steamsaws as shields or wheels, terrify your foes with long mechanical arms - there are no "boring" talents here, everything has its own special applications and properties!
  • Use advanced technology in the world of Eyal! Burrow through sand, plant bombs to destroy tunnels, and discover that you aren't alone in using it...
  • Infusions and runes are for puny humans; implant new medical injectors to pump an array of experimental chemicals into your body! Injectors can use any (infinitely reusable) salve in your inventory as long as they're off their cooldown, giving you versatility you've wished you could get with a couple of inscriptions.
  • Loot over 70 new and powerful artifacts. Pump lead into foes with big guns, quick guns, and explosive guns! Shred them with saws that maim, saws that thirst for blood, and saws that aren't really saws! Violate common sense by strapping a rocket to your back and calling it a jetpack!
  • Enjoy dying in horrible and exotic ways at the hands (or claws, jaws, guns...) of over 140 new creatures! Not mere piles of stats and chain-stuns, these foes will provide unique challenges - suffer the Sunwall's newest cosmic spells, the new breeds of ritches that infest and multiply, the Steam Giants' elaborate defense systems, and find new strategies to adapt to each!
  • Earn a trunkload of achievements! Have your accomplishments recognized for liberating the Orcish people, displaying exceptional mercy or cruelty, or showing your prowess with impressive feats! Give a boss a fate worse than death, show Sunwall forces how frustrating it is to fight a Radiant Horror as a paladin, come out on top against impossible odds, display a suicidal lack of situational awareness, and wear a badge of pride or shame for each!
  • Read roughly 27,000 words of new lore to immerse yourself in the world! Learn how things have changed since the Scourge's campaign, feel hatred and/or pity for your foes, uncover grand schemes and sinister plots, and notice the elaborate connections between Var'Eyal's numerous factions. Every zone has a story behind it, and every story ties into a bigger picture; enjoy a tale of horror and humor, of intrigue and glory, of despair and hope.
  • Earn the right to use the classic (and Ashes of Urh'Rok) classes in Embers of Rage, and the new tinker classes in Maj'Eyal! Play a Brawler in the East to fulfill your life-long dream of suplexing an entire nation of giants, or play a Sawbutcher in Maj'Eyal to shred through Dreadfell in a whirlwind of sawblades and steam!

Class Talents

Spell / Signets1.30
  • Effective talent level: 1.3
    Use mode: Sustained
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 27
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Instant (0% of a turn)
    Description: While sustained, this signet increases the percentage of your health that each of your newly-created illusions receives by 6.

    When you deactivate this signet (which takes no time) it resets the cooldowns on Mind Wrack and Decoy.

    The effects will increase with your Strength.

    Commentary: Superficially similar to the "Resilience" talent for Summoners, but with a different passive benefit calculation. Since Mesmers cannot really wear any armor and have low health, they primarily survive by avoiding damage and by having their illusions take damage for them. As a result, this talent, which buffs illusion health by 5-25%, may actually be closer to "Shielding", which buffs damage shields by 25-60%.
    Signet of Illusions
1/5
  • Effective talent level: 1.3
    Use mode: Sustained
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 27
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Instant (0% of a turn)
    Description: While sustained, this signet increases the arcane, light and physical damage you deal by 3.15%.

    When you deactivate this signet (which takes no time) it stuns all foes (power 22) within radius 2 for 3 turns.

    The effects will increase with your Strength.

    Commentary: Mesmers primarily deal arcane, light and physical damage. The scaling (3% per talent level) falls between "Hymn of Shadows" (5-25% over five levels) and "Wildfire" (2% per talent level).
    Signet of Domination
1/5
  • Effective talent level: 1.3
    Use mode: Sustained
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 27
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Instant (0% of a turn)
    Description: While sustained, all temporary beneficial effects applied to you have their durations increased by 2 turn(s). Each temporary effect instance can be extended only once. The duration increase is applied whenever you take an action, so ephemeral beneficial effects that last at most one turn (such as Mesmeric Dodge) may not be extended.

    When you deactivate this signet (which takes no time) it blinds all foes (power 22) within radius 2 for 3 turns.

    The effects will increase with your Strength.

    Commentary: This "boon duration and synergy" effect has no general equivalent in ToME. There are talents that increase the durations of particular effects (e.g., only damage shields or only regenerations). This Signet increases all beneficial effects that last more than one turn. This has a pleasant synergy with default Mesmer staff powers, but the clever player will find other fruitful combinations (e.g., buffs from inscriptions or charms, etc.).
    Signet of Midnight
1/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Sustained
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 72
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Instant (0% of a turn)
    Description: While sustained, your movement speed is increased by 1%.

    When you deactivate this signet (which takes no time) it creates a burst of celerity, increasing your movement speed by 23% for 1 turn(s). Any actions other than movement will cancel the effect. Note: since you will be moving very fast, game turns will pass very slowly.

    The effects will increase with your Strength.

    Commentary: The passive speed benefit follows "Celerity" (but does not include free item set switching). The burst speed benefit is half as strong as "Lightning Speed". Mobility is critical for Mesmers, and this is the only Mesmer power that increases raw movement speed.
    Signet of Inspiration
0/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Sustained
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 72
    Travel Speed: instantaneous

    Description: Every three turns while this signet is sustained you heal 0.00 per illusion you control.

    When you deactivate (which takes no time) this signet it creates an ethereal burst, healing you for 15. In addition, the burst resets the cooldowns on the Mirror Blade, Phantasmal Berserker, Phase Retreat, and Phantasmal Warlock talents.

    The effects will increase with your Strength.

    Commentary: This ability helps Mesmers when they need it most: in the middle of a tough battle that requires multiple illusions. When the illusions are gone, the deactivation power resets some of the cooldowns needed to summon more. The passive healing rate scaling (3.0 per illusion per talent level every 3 turns) loosely follows "Fast Metabolism" (about 3.0 per talent level every turn), assuming you can keep three illusions alive.

    Description: Bounces an orb of kinetic energy between foes and allies that applies random beneficial effects to allies and harmful conditions to foes.

    Damage to foes: 26.17 physical damage, plus one of:
    either 68.56 illusion arcane damage over 4 turns
    or 75.20 illusion light damage over 4 turns.
    In addition, weapon "on melee hit" effects can trigger.

    If illusion damage over time would be applied to a victim already suffering from that type of ongoing illusion, the resonance causes the entire previous illusion damage to be dealt at once before the new illusion effect is applied.

    Effect to allies: Mesmeric Overload (+10% to all damage per application, max 50%) for 5 turns.

    After the attack the mesmer steps back one square away from the target.

    The bolt can bounce to a creature within range 6 of the last target up to 4 times. A creature cannot be struck by multiple bounces from the same use of this talent. Note that because of the bouncing you can profitably aim this talent at a friendly target, such as an illusion. The effects increase with Magic and the critical chance is based on your spell crit rate.

    Commentary: This is one of three staple Mesmer powers. It reinforces a focus on ranged attacks and mobility. The cooldown and damage follow "Flame", except that Flame is dealt over 3 turns while this is dealt over 4 (further encouraging mobility). Stacking Mesmeric Overload from illusions can result in a substantial damage increase during long-running fights, but requires investment in this talent to raise the cap.

    Description: Teleports you to up to 3 tiles away, to a targeted location in line of sight.

    In addition, an illusionary clone will be created at your old location. The illusionary clone has 8% of your health (plus a 6% bonus from signets), deals 1% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos, Spatial Surge and Ether Blast at the same levels you do. Newly-created illusions are invulnerable for one turn. Illusions disappear after five turns without an enemy target. It serves largely to distract foes.

    This spell takes no time to cast.

    Commentary: An iconic Mesmer ability, Phase Retreat is commonly used to escape melee foes as well as to dodge projectiles and area-of-effect attacks. The cooldown is the same as "Phase Door" and the instant perfect control follows "Dimensional Step", but the range is significantly lower than both.

    Description: Summons an illusionary clone of you in an empty square in range 4. After the summoning the Mesmer steps back one square away from the target.

    The illusionary clone has 13% of your health (plus a 6% bonus from signets), deals 63% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos, Spatial Surge and Ether Blast at the same levels you do. Newly-created illusions are invulnerable for one turn. Illusions disappear after five turns without an enemy target.

    When using Winds of Chaos, the illusion deals an additional 10% damage to a foe for each detrimental effect currently afflicting that foe.

    Commentary: Phantasms have more health and deal more damage than normal illusionary clones. Between the Mesmeric Overload buff from Winds of Chaos and this phantasm's bonus based on enemy conditions, this talent has the potential to double your damage output -- if it can be kept alive.

    Description: Surround yourself with chaos armor for -12 turns. When you are struck, you receive a random beneficial effect and your foe receives a random detrimental effect.

    Beneficial: Heal for 14.
    Beneficial: Earthen Barrier (reduces incoming physical damage by 27%) for 5 turns.
    Beneficial: Out of Phase (increases resists by 27, reduces incoming negative effect duration by 27%) for 5 turns.

    Detrimental: Confused (50% chance) for 5 turns.
    Detrimental: Crippled (30% melee, spell and mental speed) for 5 turns.
    Detrimental: Blinded (power 27) for 5 turns.

    Effects increase with Magic.

    Commentary: An iconic Mesmer power. The healing scaling follows "Healing Light". Commonly used when a tough foe has cornered the Mesmer and is in melee range. Be careful, however: if you are a Mesmer and foes are hitting you repeatedly, you are probably already about to lose.

    Damage: 3.09 physical. In addition, weapon "on melee hit" effects can trigger.
    Detrimental: Stunned for three turns (power 27.00).
    Detrimental: Frozen for three turns (power 27.00).
    Detrimental: Poisoned for 8.08 damage over three turns.
    Detrimental: Weakened for three turns (power 33).

    Beneficial: Mesmeric Overload (+10% to all damage per application, max 0%) for 5 turns.

    After summoning the storm the mesmer steps back one square away from the target.

    The effects will increase with your Magic. This talent does not generate critical hits.

    Commentary: An iconic Mesmer power, and their only real source of area denial and true area-of-effect control. The damage to foes is immaterial compared to the crowd control effects, which are re-applied every turn as foes sit in the storm: forcing a foe to walk through a Chaos Storm is a significant advantage. Dually, sitting in one's own Chaos Storm can yield growing damage bonuses from stacks of Mesmeric Overload.

    In addition, weapon "on melee hit" effects can trigger.

    Commentary: This is one of three staple Mesmer powers. It reinforces a focus on long-range attacks and mobility. The cooldown and damage follow "Lightning", but the damage total is based on distance instead of being based on chance.

    Base damage to foes: 34.94 physical damage. The damage will increase with Strength and the critical chance is based on your physical crit rate. In addition, weapon "on melee hit" effects can trigger.
    Extra effect to foes: Weakened for three turns (power 33).
    Effect to allies: Mesmeric Overload (+10% to all damage per application, max 10%) for 10 turns.

    The bolt can bounce to a creature within range 6 of the last target up to 3 times. No creature will be struck twice by the same bolt.

    In addition, an illusionary clone is created adjacent to your current location. The illusionary clone has 8% of your health (plus a 6% bonus from signets), deals 1% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos, Spatial Surge and Ether Blast at the same levels you do. Newly-created illusions are invulnerable for one turn. Illusions disappear after five turns without an enemy target. It serves largely to distract foes.

    Description: Slices an illusionary greatblade through the target area. Each foe within a radius 2 of the target is struck for 66.19 physical damage and has up to 2 beneficial temporary effect(s) or sustained talent(s) removed. In addition, weapon "on melee hit" effects can occur. After the attack the Mesmer steps back one square away from the target. The damage increases with Strength and the critical chance is based on your physical crit rate.

    Commentary: The damage scaling follows "Fireflash", but the radius here is smaller and the cooldown is higher. Removing beneficial effects from foes is thematic to the Mesmer.

    Description: Summons an illusionary clone of you in an empty square in range 8. After the attack the mesmer steps one square away from the target.

    The illusionary clone has 15% of your health (plus a 6% bonus from signets), deals 50% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Combat Accuracy and Illusionary Death Dance at this level. Newly-created illusions are invulnerable for one turn. Illusions disappear after five turns without an enemy target. Illusionary Death Dance can be used every other turn: the illusion attacks all foes in radius 2 for 140% of weapon damage and cripples them, reducing their speeds by 33% for one turn.

    Commentary: Phantasms have more health and deal more damage than normal illusionary clones. Illusionary Death Dance follows "Death Dance" but with radius 2 (recall: illusions cannot move) and an additional cripple. This is the only Memser talent that uses attacks to inflict direct weapon damage; the illusion can miss.

Each wave separately deals 2.52 physical damage, applies weapon "on hit" effects, and knocks victims back by two squares. The blast waves usually hit foes more then once, depending on the radius and the knockback effect.

    After the attack the mesmer steps back one square away from the target.

    The damage will scale with your Strength.

    Commentary: The radius and damage loosely follow "Repulsion Blast", but with a 50% damage increase (instead of Paradox scaling) and 700% cooldown increase. This is typically a last-ditch talent for Mesmers who are out of mobility talents.

    You store up the energy to use mantras slowly, gaining one charge every 30 turns after last use of any mantra. Once charged, Mantras have no other cooldown and can be used rapidly. Mantra effects increase with Magic.

    Mantra of Distraction confuses (power 50%) and dazes all foes in radius 2 for 2 turn(s) and takes no time to use. Dazed targets cannot move, deal half damage, and have half defense, saves, accuracy, and power. Any damage will break the daze.

    You currently have 0 out of 0 stored charges of Mantra of Distraction.

    Commentary: This Mantra acts as an ersatz mobility power, buying the Mesmer precious turns to escape or heal during a fight. The radius scaling is similar to "Bellowing Roar", but this talent deals no damage.

    Commentary: Mesmers typically deal slightly less damage than other "squishy" classes (Archmages, Oozemancers, etc.). This Mantra provides additional damage when other talents are unavailable but does not directly smooth out the Mesmer weapon swap cooldown cycle.

    Commentary: The scaling is the average of "Arcane Reconstruction" and "Healing Light". As befitting a high-level talent, this acts as an emergency "get out of jail free" card, but note that the low health and lack of armor on a Mesmer mean that one-shots remain a danger.

    Use mode: Activated
    Range: 3
    Cooldown: 3
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Standard (100% of a turn)
    Description: Assaults nearby foes with a two-stage attack.

    First, the mesmer creates a range 3 beam that deals light damage to all foes, possibly pinning them. The effects increase with your Strength and your physical crit chance. The mesmer then teleports to the last square in the beam.

    Second, the mesmer creates a radius 3 cone that deals arcane illusion damage to all foes, possibly stunning them. The effects increase with your Magic and your spell crit chance. The mesmer steps back one square away from the cone.

    Beam Damage: 4.05 light damage
    Beam Effect: Pinned for 0 turn(s) (power 22)
    Cone Damage: 4.05 arcane illusion damage (over 4 turns)
    Cone Effect: Stunned for 0 turn(s) (power 27)
    In addition, weapon "on melee hit" effects can trigger.

    Commentary: This flexible talent can either serve as a short-range escape or as a source of disabling and damage. It requires careful positioning to be as damaging as Winds of Chaos or Spatial Surge, however. At low talent levels the mesmer must be dangerously close to foes to be effective -- this is a 'quadratic'-style talent that becomes much more effective around talent level 4. The damage follows "Invoke Darkness" with the addition of pinning and stunning.

    Usage Speed: Standard (100% of a turn)
    Description: Controls an area with a two-stage attack.

    First, the mesmer creates a cone of radius 2 that pins foes. The mesmer then steps back one square.

    Second, the mesmer creates a spinning trap of light anywhere in radius 2. The trap spins with incredible speed, typically enough to hit each nearby creature twice over about 8 turns. The trap harm foes and help friends in radius 6 (but not those standing directly atop it).

    Cone Effect to foes: Pinned for 0 turn(s) (power 27)
    Cone Effect to foes: Weapon "on melee hit" effects can trigger
    Beam Damage to foes: 5.10 light damage to foes
    Beam Effect to foes: Push 1 square
    Beam Effect to allies: Mesmeric Overload (+10% to all damage per application, max 0%) for 5 turns

    Cone effects increase with Magic. Beam effects increase with Strength and use your physical crit chance.

    Commentary: The created trap follows "Aether Beam" in total damage but with double the radius. While not as effective as Chaos Storm, this talent can serve as reasonable area-of-effect control and damage. However, the relatively long time it takes to deal full damage means tha the mesmer must find other ways to stay alive in the interim.

    Cooldown: 10
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Instant (0% of a turn)
    Description: Protects and retaliates with a two-stage defense.

    First, the mesmer creates a personal illusionary shield for 1 turns. During turn 1, the shield keeps you out of phase with reality (100% resist all, 100% detrimental effect duration reduction).

    Second, the next 0 time(s) a source of damage would be applied to you, this shield attempts to create an illusionary clone adjacent to the attacker. After each such attack you take one step away from the attacker.

    The illusionary clone has 1% of your health (plus a 6% bonus from signets), deals 0% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos, Spatial Surge and Ether Blast at the same levels you do. Newly-created illusions are invulnerable for one turn. Illusions disappear after five turns without an enemy target. It serves largely to distract foes.

    This spell takes no time to cast.

    Commentary: Note that distance and line-of-sight are not required for this talent to function. However, unlike other effects that create illusionary clones, this one is not entirely under the Mesmer's control: you must take a hit from a foe to trigger it. It is thus difficult to use proactively, for scouting, or to draw early fire.

    Description: Controls an area and manipulates cooldowns with a two-stage attack.

    First, the mesmer projects a distoring sphere of radius 2 in range 10. Enemies within the sphere are damaged and pulled toward the center. Allies within the sphere are pushed out.

    Second, the mesmer creates a temporal curtain: a wall up to length 9 in range 5 with thickness-radius 1. Whenever a foe interacts with the curtain, up to 0 of that foe's available talents (chosen at random) are placed on a 0 turn cooldown. For each such talent placed on cooldown, one of the mesmer's cooling-down talents (chosen at random) has its timeout reduced by 0 turn(s). Whenever a friendly illusionary clone or phantasm interacts with the wall, one of the illusion's cooldowns is reduced by 1 turn. The wall lasts for 2 turn(s).

    Sphere Damage to foes: 7 light illusion (over 4 turns)
    Sphere Effect to foes: Weapon "on melee hit" effects can trigger
    Curtain Effect to foes: 0 separate 0-turn cooldown transfers
    Curtain Effect to foes: Crippled (30% melee, spell and mental speed) for 3 turns

    Sphere effects increase with Strength and use your physical crit chance.

    Commentary: The sphere effect follows "Gravity Spike". With careful placement the sphere can separate the Mesmer from nearby enemies, allowing the wall to be placed between them. The mesmer has the flexible choice of filling the wall with friendly illusions (allowing them to attack faster) or leaving the wall empty so that foes will walk through it (allowing the mesmer's talents to recover faster). If this talent does not appear to be reducing your cooldowns, recall that most normal foes do not have actionable talents.

    Description: Summons an illusionary clone of you in an empty square in range 8. After the attack the mesmer steps one square away from the target. This illusion is uniquely adaptive: it is the only mesmer illusion capable of moving on its own. It cannot take advantage of "free step" movement built into certain Mesmer powers but can spend its turn to walk after foes.

    The illusionary clone has 12% of your health (plus a 6% bonus from signets), deals 50% of your damage, CAN move, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos, Spatial Surge and Ether Blast at the same levels you do. Newly-created illusions are invulnerable for one turn. Illusions disappear after five turns without an enemy target.

    Commentary: Phantasms have more health and deal more damage than normal illusionary clones. This is the only illusion with even a hint of movement, admitting a range of summoner tactics (e.g., sending the illusion into a foe-filled room you cannot see).

    Description: Gain invisibility for 1 turns (power 24, reduces outgoing damage by 50%). This talent takes no time to use.

    In addition, 1 illusionary clone(s) of you is created adjacent to your current location (if open space is available). The illusionary clone has 8% of your health (plus a 6% bonus from signets), deals 1% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos, Spatial Surge and Ether Blast at the same levels you do. Newly-created illusions are invulnerable for one turn. Illusions disappear after five turns without an enemy target. Each illusion serves largely to distract foes.

    Effects increase with Cunning.

    Commentary: The duration scaling follows "Unstoppable". Invisibility is iconic for illusionist Mesmers, and this utility power provides access to it at low levels (but at 50% reduced damage instead of the usual 40%). The invisibility and the clone(s) serve to make this a useful escape power, but be wary of waiting until foes are in melee range to use it, since some foes will see through the invisibility.

    Commentary: The scaling and cooldown follow "Healing Light" but at a higher talent requirement. Repeated, weak healing that takes time is a Mesmer hallmark. Much like Archmages and similar squishy casters, Mesmers need early access to healing for survival. The weak-but-reusable nature of this heal provides actions for Mesmers to smooth out their weapon-swap-cooldown cycle.

    Description: You create a mesmeric portal, bridging the space between yourself and a point within range. You immediately step through, leaving behind a pair of linked portal entrances. If you step on either portal you will be teleported to the other. The portals will last 3 turns. You may choose the general exit location target area (radius 6 within range).

    The effects scale with your Cunning.

    Commentary: The allies-only temporary portal is an iconic Mesmer power. The scaling and effects here follow "Wormhole" almost directly, but with one end of the portal under the Mesmer's feet and the other at an almost-random point in range (often into an unexplored area). This is provides a crucial but chancy additional escape power for Mesmers, and at higher levels can also be used for profitable back-and-forth kiting.

    Commentary: The effects follow "Infusion: Heroism". This provides another last-second saving grace power for squishy Mesmers. The relatively long duration should allow Mesmers losing a fight to escape and recover.

    Description: Summons an illusionary clone of you in an empty square in range 2.

    The illusionary clone has 12% of your health (plus a 6% bonus from signets), deals 0% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos, Spatial Surge and Ether Blast at the same levels you do. Newly-created illusions are invulnerable for one turn. Illusions disappear after five turns without an enemy target. It serves largely to distract your foes.

    The effects increase with your Cunning.

    Commentary: The primary advantage of this power is the high health of the illusionary clone. This allows it to serve either as an indirect damage shield while you fight or as a long-lived distraction while you flee.

    This is not telepathy, however, and it is still limited to line of sight.
    Also, your attention to detail increases stealth detection and invisibility detection by 0, and you gain the ability to detect traps (+0 detect 'power').

Spell / Mesmer traits1.00
  • Effective talent level: 2.0
    Use mode: Activated
    Range: 2
    Cooldown: 5
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Mind (100% of a turn)
    Is: a mind power
    Description: Perform a mesmeric dodge, teleporting you to an open square within range.

    During the dodge you become out of phase with reality (100% resist all, 100% detrimental effect duration reduction) for one turn, rendering you almost invulnerable.

    In addition, during the dodge you quickly swap your current weapon set and your alternate weapon set.

    At Talent level 2, you also create an illusionary clone of yourself in your old location. The illusionary clone has 11% of your health (plus a 6% bonus from signets), deals 2% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos, Spatial Surge and Ether Blast at the same levels you do. Newly-created illusions are invulnerable for one turn. Illusions disappear after five turns without an enemy target. It serves largely to distract foes.

    Commentary: This is one of three staple Mesmer powers. It reinforces a focus on ranged attacks and mobility. Perhaps most importantly, it greatly facilities the Mesmer's weapon swap cooldown cycle. A canny Mesmer might use a few greatsword powers until those are on cooldown and foes are in range, and then dodge-and-switch to staff powers. Using staff powers gives some greatsword powers time to complete their cooldowns, so on the next dodge-and-switch the cycle repeats. Mesmers care significantly about swapping weapon sets, but unlike Temporal Wardens they cannot swap for free at will. Instead, they must either use Mesmeric Dodge or spend a turn manually swapping.
    Mesmeric Dodge
2/2
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: At Talent level 1, this trait has no effect.

    At Talent level 2, all illusions you create release a slowing backlash when destroyed, crippling all foes in radius 2 (reducing their speed by 33%) for 3 turns. This occurs whenever an illusion dies for any reason (e.g., intentional Mind Wrack, lethal damage from enemies, etc.). In addition, your Winds of Chaos, Spatial Surge and Ether Blast talents knock foes back by 1 square.

    Commentary: Mesmeric Traits are minor passive benefits that require a significant investment of character development resources (cf. "Feats" in other RPGs). Crippling foes that kill illusions and knocking back foes via basic attacks significantly improve a Mesmer's ability to escape melee range and kite enemies.
    Crippling Illusions
0/2
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: At Talent level 1, this trait has no effect.

    At Talent level 2, all illusions you create have a +20% increased critical hit chance on all attacks. In addition, creating an illusion reduces your current remaining Mantra meditation recharge time by 50%.

    Commentary: Mesmeric Traits are minor passive benefits that require a significant investment of character development resources (cf. "Feats" in other RPGs). This trait directly increases illusion damage -- typically by about 10%, but the exact amount depends on your critical chance and critical damage multiplier. It also supports a Mantra-heavy build, but recall that any Mantra use still resets the recharge time, so strictly alternating Mantra uses with illusion creations is "not a combo."
    Illusionary Frenzy
0/2
  • Effective talent level: 2.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: At Talent level 1, this trait has no effect.

    At Talent level 2, whenever you de-activate a signet its mesmeric energies purge one temporary detrimental effect from you, chosen at random.

    Commentary: Mesmeric Traits are minor passive benefits that require a significant investment of character development resources (cf. "Feats" in other RPGs). This trait further rewards Mesmers who have invested in Signets. It can be easy to forget about the burst de-activation powers of Signets, and this trait provides an additional incentive. Mesmers have no innate resistance to stuns, dazes, lingering elemental damage, etc., and thus treasure every option for removing negative status effects.
    Cleansing Signets
2/2
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: At Talent level 1, this trait has no effect.

    At Talent level 2, whenever one of your illusions dies you scavenge some of its etheric essence and heal yourself for 3. The effect scales with Cunning.

    Commentary: Mesmeric Traits are minor passive benefits that require a significant investment of character development resources (cf. "Feats" in other RPGs). This trait encourages a mobility-and-shatter playstyle by providing extra durability.
    Restorative Illusions
0/2
Spell / Shatter illusions1.30
  • Effective talent level: 2.6
    Use mode: Activated
    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 13
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Mind (100% of a turn)
    Is: a mind power
    Description: Detonate all of your active illusions, harming every foe within radius 2 of one of your illusions.

    Damage: 43 light and 40 arcane.
    Stunned: 5 turn(s) (power 24, from Diversion).
    Confusion: 3 turn(s) (power 50%, from Cry of Frustration).
    Pre-Detonation Pull: foes in radius 0 (from Into the Void).

    Invisibility: 0 turn(s) per detonated illusion (power 24, reduces outgoing damage by 40%, from Distortion).

    Effects increase with Cunning. The critical chance is based on your mental crit rate.

    Commentary: This is an iconic Mesmer ability. When illusions are about to die -- or when you want to end a fight early -- they can be detonated to harm or cripple foes. The scaling is 150% the damage dealt by the icy spell "Shatter". Mind Wrack is harder to aim, requires and destroys illusions, and does not inflict control effects without additional talent points spent elsewhere. It does have the potential to hit multiple targets, however, and foes surrounded by multiple illusions can be hit multiple times.
    Mind Wrack
2/5
  • Effective talent level: 2.6
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: Mind Wrack now stuns foes within range of your detonated illusions. Foes are stunned (power 24) for 5 turn(s). The effect increases with your Cunning.

    Commentary: These talents improve Mind Wrack in the same fashion that the Rampage or Shadow trees improve their base talents. Stunning may give the Mesmer a chance to escape now that all of its illusions are gone.
    Diversion
2/5
  • Effective talent level: 1.3
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: Mind Wrack now confuses foes within range of your detonated illusions. Foes are confused (power 50%) for 3 turn(s).

    Commentary: These talents improve Mind Wrack in the same fashion that the Rampage and Shadow trees improve their base talents. Confusion is rare, but if the Mesmer is lucky it can be more useful than stunning.
    Cry of Frustration
1/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: Mind Wrack now takes you out of phase with reality, rendering you Invisible for 0 turn(s) cumulative per illusion shattered with power 10 cumulative per illusion shattered. As you become invisible you fade out of phase with reality: all of your damage is reduced by 40%. (Reminder: you may cancel beneficial temporary effects early if you so desire.) The effect increases with your Cunning.

    Commentary: This provides another flavor of post-Wrack escape for the higher-level Mesmer.
    Distortion
0/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: Just before each of your illusions detonates via Mind Wrack, it pulls all foes within radius 0 toward itself. (The order in which illusions detonate is unspecified. Multiple illusions can pull the same foe.)

    Commentary: This is a flavorful way of increasing the effective range of Mind Wrack while providing an indirect escape for the Mesmer.

A large hairy foot, very recognizably a halfling's, is strung on a piece of thick twine. In its decomposed state it's hard to tell how long ago it parted with its owner, but from what look like teeth marks around the ankle you get the impression that it wasn't given willingly.
It has been kept somewhat intact with layers of salt and clay, but in spite of this it's clear that nature is beginning to take its toll on the dead flesh. Some say the foot of a halfling brings luck to its bearer - right now the only thing you can be sure of is that it stinks.

This chest is an extension of old Sher'tul places of power. Any items dropped inside are transported to an other place, processed and destroyed to extract energy.
The byproduct of this effect is the creation of gold, which is useless to process, so it is sent back to you.
