Alternate Reality

Alternate Reality

In another reality much like Maj'Eyal's... there are no talents that are one-point wonders. Basically, this mod tries to buff talents in such a way that they're worth investing multiple points into. (Or for that matter, worth using at all.) Changes are tailored to my preferences and play style (I play on normal or nightmare), but I welcome feedback & opinions.

Changelist:
v2.3
Shield Defense
Repulsion - has been heavily reworked. The knockback has been greatly reduced, and it now does some minor damage. This gives it two new applications: 1) when surrounded, block, then counterstrike the group with Repulsion, and 2) the damage, while low, allows for the application of "on hit" effects from items. All other details (daze, cooldown, etc) have been left unchanged.

Warcries
Battle Shout - has zero stamina cost, and a more informative description.

v2.2
Halfling
Luck of the Little Folk - lasts 4 + talent level turns
Indomitable - has a duration of 2 * talent level

Ambush
Shadow Leash - now also pins for 2 turns, and has lower resource costs.

Shadow Magic
Shadow Combat - got a minor boost to damage (about 5%), linked to spellpower

Conveyance
Teleport - does not take a turn (undirected teleports are now slightly less suicidal, and more tactical)

Inscriptions
Phase Door and Teleport do not take a turn. Controlled phase door (which is safer, and requires aim) still does.

v2.1
Corruption / Torment
Overkill - starts off weaker, ends up stronger. A typical range in vanilla is about 43-73% dmg (with equipment), the new range is about 33-96%.

v2.0
Shalore
Grace of the Eternals - has a duration of 7 + talent level

Dwarf
Stone Walking - clarified description (talent unchanged)

Sanguisuge
Absorb Life - casts instantly

Vim
Vimsense - casts instantly, but maximum resistance reduction is slightly lower. Same average DPS at level 5, but now also useful at level 1. (In vanilla, it usually *lowers* DPS at level 1!)

Scourge
Ruin - vim sustain cost reduced to 20

v1.0

Yeek
Dominant Will - gains +1 range per talent level after the first
Wayist - summons (talent level + 1) mindslayer allies

Thalore
Nature's Pride - cools down faster with more talent levels

Harmony
Waters of Life - now has +2 turns duration per talent level
Healing Nexus - has a duration of 2 + (talent level * 2)

This addon will conflict with other addons that change talents from the same trees, or with any addon that changes racial talents.
