Math/code for 1.0:
Shield Pummel
damage1 = combatTalentWeaponDamage(t, 1, 1.7, getTalentLevel(T_SHIELD_EXPERTISE))
damage2 = combatTalentWeaponDamage(t, 1.2, 2.1, getTalentLevel(T_SHIELD_EXPERTISE))
stun_dur = 2 + getTalentLevel(t) / 2
stun_power = combatAttackStr()
Riposte
dur_inc = ceil(getTalentLevel(t)/4)
crit_inc = combatTalentIntervalDamage(t, "dex", 10, 50)
Overpower
damage1 = combatTalentWeaponDamage(t, 0.8, 1.3)
damage2 = combatTalentWeaponDamage(t, 0.8, 1.3, getTalentLevel(T_SHIELD_EXPERTISE))
checkHit(combatAttack(shield), target:combatPhysicalResist(), 0, 95, 5 - getTalentLevel(t) / 2)
Assault
damage1 = combatTalentWeaponDamage(t, 1, 1.5, getTalentLevel(T_SHIELD_EXPERTISE))
damage2 = combatTalentWeaponDamage(t, 1, 1.5)
