'Purists' Breeding Pits Restoration Project 1.2.3

Restores the orc breeding pits cut content to the game. This is the original completely unaltered orc breeding pits, just as objectionable as it was in version 1.1.3, before any changes were made. You have been WARNED. Do not complain about the potentially objectionable content.

Various enhancements to escort quest NPCs:
- Escorts now follow the player when not close to the portal.
- Escorts occasionally say useful things.
- Escorts heal 5% of their maximum health per turn.

Escorts Enhanced 1.2.3

Marson's Autoexplore & Rest Tweaks 1.2.4

v2.1.0 *** FOR ToME v1.2.4 ONLY ***
Determines how auto-explore and running respond to telepathy, including mouse moves. Regardless of the setting, hostiles seen via telepathy will not halt resting or the Rod of Recall, nor trigger automated talents. Unique or powerful monsters (rank > 3) will always trigger a halt to running when they are spotted via telepathy for any mode except 'Original'.

Available modes:
• 'Always Viligant' always stops running when a hostile creature is seen via telepathy.
• 'First Sighting' stops running when a hostile creature is sighted via telepathy for the first time. The creature will then be ignored by auto-explore until spotted by actual sight, which will trigger a halt as normal.
• 'Reset on Rest' is the same as First Sighting, but resting will forget all creatures spotted via telepathy so that they will trigger a stop again.
• 'Original' is standard ToME auto-explore behavior, which ignores telepathy when running or auto-exploring.

Also utilizes C. Lowe/CaptainTrip's 'Rest Tweaks' addon code and updates it to 1.1.5.
• Checks for and waits on any rechargeable items.
• Checks for and reloads any ammo in offhand quiver.
• Waits for cooldowns of talents set to auto-use.
• Waits for depleted air to replenish.
• Combines all checks into a single instance of rest, rather than having cooldowns etc. require a second resting phase.

Additional features:
• Fixes a ToME bug that can cause autoexplore or running to move only a single square and hang if used immediately after killing an enemy.
• Lore discovery will only stop autoexplore if it triggers a popup.
• Autoexplore will ignore Exploratory/Infinite Farportal return portals until the entire level has been explored.
• Ignores special terrain features such as Font of Healing after they are first discovered.
• Ignores open chests and alt Maze floor cracks.
• Rest and AE ask for confirmation if you have an escort in your party.
• Ignore already activated pedestals.

+ Compatible with ToME v1.2.4

Notes:
• Telepathy will not prevent auto-exploring the way normal sight will. If a halt is triggered by telepathy, hitting auto-explore again will move you at least one more square in the direction of the auto-explore path. If in 'Always Viligant' mode and a hostile is within telepathic sight (but not normal sight), you will auto-explore in 1 square per keypress increments.
• 'First Sighting' and 'Reset on Rest' modes are intended to keep auto-explore a fast process. If you spot an enemy you wouldn't mind bumping into around a corner, you can just hit auto-explore again and that enemy will be ignored until seen by normal sight. 'Reset on Rest' can be handy if you spot a type of enemy you want to be cautious around or a packed room. You can move away, rest, then explore the rest of the level without worrying about running into the middle of that room.

Mesmer 1.2.2

A magical class based on creating and shattering illusions.

Mesmer 1.2.2

Marson's UI Modifications 1.2.4

v3.7.0 *** FOR ToME v1.3.0+ ONLY ***
If you are using an older version of ToME, visit http://te4.org/games/addons/tome/marson-ui and choose an earlier version of this addon.

An attempt to make 1920x1080 easier on my decaying eyesight, plus a few personal preferences. This is a revamp for the Minimalist UI. It may work for Classic, but hasn't been tested for it. Most settings can be found on the UI tab on the Game Options screen.

• Adds a 'Fonts' tab to 'Game Options'. Choose separate font styles and sizes for six categories:

    * menus & dialogs
    * HUD elements
    * tooltips & character sheet
    * chat & combat log
    * flying text
    * lore

• Expanded font size range to 8 - 36 points. (Stock range is 10 - 18)
• Ability to add your own fonts with a fontpack addon.
http://te4.org/games/addons/tome/font_example
• Scales most dialog boxes to account for larger fonts.
• Hotkey bar revamp:
   * Frame colors: green = activated talent, blue = sustained talent, yellow = equipped item, orange = unequipped item. Colors on talent screen and buff bar changed to match.
   * Frame colors do not change when on cooldown.
   * All talents/items on cooldown will have a red overlay.
   * Z-layer of key text (C8, etc) moved under color overlay to better differentiate from cooldown text.
   * Unequipped items get pale yellow color overlay similar to cooldown overlay.
   * Right-clicking on an item no longer clears the item; it brings up the hotkey assignment menu. (You may clear it from there, as with talents.)

• 'Use Talent' screen now also lists all usable items, allowing you to associate a hotkey using the dropdown menu. Objects are separated based on whether they are worn or not and display their current cooldowns.
• When assigning a hotkey, the list will show available hotkeys as 1 through 0,-,= with C,S,A,AS, modifiers (example: "Hotkey C7") instead of "Hotkey 1" through "Hotkey 60", so as to match the labels on the hotkey bar.
• Enabled and modified 'Creature List' code that was in stock ToME but not used. Lists NPCs in player's sight along with their remaining energy and distance. Mousing over an NPC in the Creature List will center the screen on that creature. Toggle the list on/off with Ctrl-Tab.
• 'Limit Terrain Height' option will rescale trees and mushrooms to prevent them from overlapping the grid above them. (Will not affect current level until you leave and return.)
• Adds viewport options: 'Original' is the stock behavior from v1.1.5 ToME. The game will use Scroll Distance, but won't show a black border around the map. With a high Scroll Distance, you will remain centered until you get to the edge of the map, at which point the map stops moving and your character moves off-center. 'No Hiding' is now the stock behavior of v1.2.x ToME. It is a bit of a hybrid. The map will scroll similar to 1.1.5, but will show enough of a black border so that your avatar will not hide under UI elements such as the mini-map and hotkey bar. 'Centered' will force the viewport to strictly follow the Scroll Distance setting. If you have it a high number, you will be centered 100% of the time.
• Adds option to enable right-click dragging of the viewport. This will coexist with mouse gestures but may not mix with them in a visually pleasing manner.
• Separate adjustable background transparencies for dialogs, tooltips, combat log, chat, and hotkeys.
• Adjustable tooltip width.
• Ability to change tooltip location: each of the four corners / at mouse cursor / opposite corner from mouse.
• Tooltip will get out of the way of target location via keyboard as well as mouse cursor.
• Ability to disable ambient background noises (dogs barking, water dripping, etc.) on the UI tab in Game Options. Defaults to 'enabled' (no change from stock).
• Shields (damage, temporal, etc.) will play a sound when they expire on a character you are controlling. (I've missed that my antimagic shield went down one too many times.) I've included a couple versions of the sound, including silence.
(shield_off.ogg created by reg7783 and licensed under the Creative Commons 0 License.)
• Adds a choice of tooltip style for the Inventory screen. 'Original' is the same as stock. 'Small Screen' moves the tooltip to either side of the screen so that it obscures less and doesn't bounce around. 'Big Screen' uses a dedicated location between the rag doll and the item list.
• If your character knows the talent 'Extract Gems', a tab will appear on the inventory screen listing all items that may be converted to gems based on your current talent level, including items in the Transmogrification Chest.
• Adds a 'Usable Items' tab to the Inventory screen.
• Adds a 'Preview Talents' button to the character creation screen. This will allow you to view the stats and talents of the current race/class combo without needing to generate a new game.
• Character creation screen will remind you if you are in dev/cheat mode.
• Ability to ESC from character creation screen.
• Alchemist quest shows details about the various rewards you are working towards: "Agrimley the hermit needs your help making an Elixir of Explosive Force, which permanently increase your chance to critically strike with spells by 4%." This will only apply to characters who take the quest after enabling this addon.
(Also available as separate addon.)
• ToME Bugfix: 'Tactical Overlay' dropdown menu.

+ ToME v1.3.0 compatible.

+ Integrated 0player's NPC List speed performance fix.

+ Added frame highlights when mousing over or dragging a hotkey.

Marson's UI Modifications 1.2.4

Tempus Fugit 1.2.1

Time is a mystery to all...

Adds a new ChronoRogue class, the Anarchist.

Also reduces the paradox costs of Temporal Warden sustains.

Current unique categories:

Most of these talents will scale with your Paradox, so keep it as high as possible.

Living Paradox
Impossible Strength: passive. Allows dual weilding of medium weapons. offhand damage scales with paradox. improves stamina regen.
Impossible Grace: passive. accuracy based on paradox. don't trigger traps at 5.
Paradox Armour: sustain. reduces damage taken based on paradox, but also reduces paradox when you take damage.
Living Paradox: passive. temporal version of bloodspring

Temporal Theft

Steal Speed: active. slow target to haste self.
Steal Magic: active. steal a target's magical buffs.
Steal Timeline: active. dump all your paradox on target creature, doing large temporal damage and stun.

No Rules: active. For a short time your temporal resistance, effective willpower for paradox checks and stamina regeneration are increased.

Tempus Fugit 1.2.1

Fallen Race 1.1.5

The Higher were not the Conclave's first attempt at infusing humans with magic, but rather the result of long years of failed creations. The descendants of those who managed to survive these experiments are today called the Fallen. Although they command intense magical power, their bodies are weak and sickly.

Fallen Race 1.1.5

Extra Dungeons 1.2.3

In general, this mod is for people (like me) who like to do everything in a game. Visit all the dungeons, kill all the bosses, preferably get all the artifacts. By allowing all characters to visit some more restricted dungeons, we can make that a little easier. This mod is not intended to be lore-friendly, but I may make a lore-friendlier version in the future. (As it stands you can visit Irkkk as a halfling and the Yeek don't care. I may change that.)

Current mod features:
All characters can visit the Iron Throne, its shops, and its two attendant dungeons.
All characters can travel through the tunnel in the Ancient Halfling Complex to reach the Island of Rel. There they can visit Irkkk and the two dungeons.
All characters will receive caldera at level 20, and sludgenest at level 30.
The maximum level of Rel's dungeons is raised to match Halfling Complex (to 25)
The maximum material level of Rel's dungeons is raised by 1 (from 2 to 3)

Extra Dungeons 1.2.3

      Gray's Illusions 1.2.3

      Alright, so this is two parts. A new zone, and a new class that you unlock by finishing said zone.
      You should get an in-game item that explains some things.

      Illusory Wood
      You'll find this place a couple spaces east of Zigur. Minimum suggested level is 18.
      Complete the quest inside and you'll unlock the Trickster class.

      Trickster
      A psionic rogue.
      - Use illusory walls and decoys to distract your enemies.
      - A wide variety of debuffs that confuse and distract your foes.
      - Turn enemies' confusion into your own power.
      - Convince your enemies that they don't see you, even as you stand in plain sight.
      - Stabbing things.
      The basic idea is that you throw out illusions everywhere to cover you while you stab things to death.

      Feel free to offer suggestions/feedback/whatever.

      Gray's Illusions 1.2.3

      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

      Thievery 1.2.4

      If you side with the Assassin Lord, a new zone will open up. This will be triggered the same way the Assassin Lord quest is, starting at player level 15.

      Once you've cleared this area, you can come back for access to the merchant services you would've gotten if you had saved the merchant - at a substantial markup over normal cost.

      Thievery 1.2.4

      The lost city of Vulcus 1.2 1.2.0

      The Lost City of Vulcus

      Some events in history are of such importance and have such wide ranging ramifications that they become fixed points -- junctions in time that must and will happen in order to maintain the integrity of the chronoverse.

      Lost ages ago, Vulcus was considered by many to be the greatest center of Dwarven learning below the surface. Even up until the fall of Reknor in recent times, however, Dwarven innovation and breakthroughs continued, seemingly by miracle. Fate, however, dictates that one of the greatest untold secrets of the Empire cannot remain hidden forever. Perhaps you will be chosen to take part in this crucial point in history -- to reap the rewards or to suffer the consequences.

      This addon incorporates a new major event (like the drake cave or fearscape invasion portal) that has a chance to occur (possibly more than once) on each level in various zones (Infinite Dungeon, Spellblaze Scar, Ardhungol, High Peak, Reknor, Shadow Crypt). Within the game, this event is most like a combination of the Lost Merchant and Limmir quests, and is intended to replace those for characters in the I.D.

      Recommended level 10+ (depending on class). The intended difficulty is slightly higher than the Limmir quest, and there are gradations of success. Participating in the event when it spawns is completely optional and you can do it later if desired.

      This is possibly the most complex encounter in ToME, with a large number of NPCs, enhanced AI, and various terrain effects. It is compute heavy and will tax slower computers (even with reduced graphics settings).

      The lost city of Vulcus 1.2 1.2.0

      Gnome 1.2.3

      Let there be Gnomes!

      Addon-content:

      1. New subrace: Gnomes (included: own starter-zone and quest)

      2. Additional zones and quests:
      a) Midlevel zone & quest (15-20): starts near Last Hope, related zone has to be found on the worldmap
      b) Highlevel zone (35-50): a hidden zone, that can't be entered by normal means / a quest starts inside, on the 2nd level

      About Gnomes:

      Gnomes are distant relatives of Halflings, albeit a tad smaller in stature and much weaker physique. In the world of Maj_Eyal, not much is known about them for simple reasons: they usually don't leave home to go on adventures, much less to take part in heroic endeavours. People commonly mistake Gnomes for extraordinary small and malformed Halflings, even if that is far from being the truth. The existence of Gnomes as a proper subspecies has passed history unnoticed for centuries, while they lived peacefully, silent and hidden within Halfling society, dedicating their lives to the study of the physical, magical and historical dimensions of Maj'Eyal.

      In theory, however, gnomes make great adventurers. While they lack any of those physical attributes, that are commonly associated with a lifestyle dedicated to performing heroic deeds, they got the ability to gain advanced knowledge about almost anything related to skillful adventuring. They start their career with two instead of just one racial talent trees and are able to learn new talent types not available to their choosen class. As a result, they make for very flexible game play, but they are challenged by a low life-rating.

      --- Major Revamp as of 20.12.2014 ---

      ! ! ! ! ! No compatibility with older versions ! ! ! ! !

      Gnomes now offer a truly experimental game experience. Gnomes get two racial trees:

      - one tree allows them to learn just about any talents associated to different meta themes (they can learn one type each of these groups: technique/cunning, spell/celestial/chronomancy, psionic/wild-gifts, cursed/corruption).

      - the other tree provides general offensive and defensive benefits as well as resource (stamina, mana, psi, equilibrium) regeneration.

      As a result, playing as a gnome makes it possible to spice up just about any class with new talent combinations normaly only experienced when playing the Adventurer class.

      Additonaly, gnomes still start with their Gnomish Pocket Encyclopedia - an item, which at level 30 allows them to pick one further talent type from about just any category (excluding stone wardens talents).

      Specifics - Stats and Racial Talents:

      Stat modifiers: -4 Strength, +1 Dexterity, -6 Constitution, +1 Magic, +0 Willpower, +6 Cunning, +0 Luck
      Life per level: 6
      Experience penalty: 10%

      Update (24.01.2015):

      - added a visual distinction between generic and class trees in the dialogues where you choose which talent-type to learn

        Use mode: Sustained
        Range: melee/personal
        Cooldown: 90
        Travel Speed: instantaneous
        Usage Speed: instant
        Description: While sustained, this signet increases the percentage of your health that each of your newly-created illusions receives by 0.

        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%.

        Cooldown: 90
        Travel Speed: instantaneous
        Usage Speed: instant
        Description: While sustained, this signet increases the arcane, light and physical damage you deal by 0.48%.

        When you deactivate this signet (which takes no time) it stuns all foes (power 15) within radius 1 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
      		0/5
      • Effective talent level: 0.0
        Use mode: Sustained
        Range: melee/personal
        Cooldown: 90
        Travel Speed: instantaneous
        Usage Speed: instant
        Description: While sustained, all temporary beneficial effects applied to you have their durations increased by -1 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 15) within radius 1 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
      		0/5
      • Effective talent level: 0.0
        Use mode: Sustained
        Range: melee/personal
        Cooldown: 90
        Travel Speed: instantaneous
        Usage Speed: instant
        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 32% 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.

        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 17. 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.

        Usage Speed: 1 turn
        Is: a spell
        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: 15.34 physical damage, plus one of:
        either 46.02 illusion arcane damage over 4 turns
        or 46.02 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 10%) 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 3 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 1% of your health, deals 0% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos and Spatial Surge 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 0% of your health, deals 70% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos and Spatial Surge 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.

        Beneficial: Heal for 14.
        Beneficial: Earthen Barrier (reduces incoming physical damage by 18%) for 5 turns.
        Beneficial: Out of Phase (increases defense by 18, reduces incoming negative effect duration by 18%) for 5 turns.

        Detrimental: Confused (50% chance) for 5 turns.
        Detrimental: Crippled (30% melee, spell and mental speed) for 5 turns.
        Detrimental: Blinded (power 18) 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: 2.54 physical. In addition, weapon "on melee hit" effects can trigger.
        Detrimental: Stunned for three turns (power 18.00).

        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.

        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 1% of your health, deals 0% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos and Spatial Surge 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.

In addition, weapon "on melee hit" effects can occur. After the attack the Mesmer steps back one square away from the target.

        The illusionary clone has 20% of your health, deals 70% 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.

        Description: Push back all foes in front of you with waves of magical energy. Sends out three consecutive blast waves in a 1 radius cone to foes. Each wave separately deals 2.14 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.

        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: 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.

        In addition, 0 illusionary clone(s) of you is created adjacent to your current location (if open space is available).

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 2 turns. You may choose the general exit location target area (radius 10 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.

        The effect will always increase your three highest stats and scales with your Cunning.

        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.

        Travel Speed: instantaneous
        Usage Speed: 1 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 6% of your health, deals 1% of your damage, never moves, and knows the talents Winds of Chaos and Spatial Surge 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.

      • 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 and Spatial Surge 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.

        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."

        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.

        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.

        Use mode: Passive
        Description: Magic permeates everything you do. Though it takes its toll on your body, you intuitively use it to bolster your mundane actions. Whenever you deal damage, you have a 27% chance of dealing extra arcane damage equal to 40% of the original hit.

        The first talent point invested will reduce your healing modifier by 20% and all your saves by 10.

      • Effective talent level: 0.0
        Use mode: Passive
        Description: The intense energy which the Fallen possess interrupts the natural processes of their bodies, making healing a difficult effort at best. However, when healing does manage to occur, the process opens up even more energy for the Fallen to use, as their newly strengthed body can better handle the strain.

        Whenever you recover health, you regain resources equal to a percentage of recovered health (before healmod):

        Description: The most sickly of the Fallen have truely overwhelming power. You posses such great magical power that it's effects have begun to leak out, affecting those around you.

        Whenever Intuitive Magic triggers, you have a 0% chance to apply one of 3 status effects, with a +0 bonus to spellpower. The effects will last for 8 turns and will stack with themselves up to 2 times. You can apply at most one status effect per target per game turn.

        Effects:
        Sickness of the Fallen: -10% healing factor and -10 all saves.
        Weight of the Fallen: -10% global speed and +35% fatigue.
        Oppression of the Fallen: 10% talent failure chance.

      • Effective talent level: 0.0
        Use mode: Activated
        Range: melee/personal
        Cooldown: 16
        Travel Speed: instantaneous
        Usage Speed: 1 turn
        Is: a mind power
        Description: Detonate all of your active illusions, harming every foe within radius 2 of one of your illusions.

        Damage: 6 light and 6 arcane.
        Stunned: 0 turn(s) (power 13, from Diversion).
        Confusion: 0 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 13, 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.

        Use mode: Passive
        Description: Mind Wrack now stuns foes within range of your detonated illusions. Foes are stunned (power 13) for 0 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.

      • Effective talent level: 0.0
        Use mode: Passive
        Description: Mind Wrack now confuses foes within range of your detonated illusions. Foes are confused (power 50%) for 0 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
      		0/5
      • 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 6 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.

      • 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.
