what i plan on doing is releasing items now in incremental form (ie maybe 1-2 per update). this way it gives you guys some time to test and see if they are gamebreaking/bugged etc.

There *should* not be any more 10-15 item updates as this has caused alot of problems for me balance wise in the past (see i do learn from past mistakes .

Changes: 

Removed Phantasm (pacovs weapon) for now until i can come up with alternative/balanced changes for this item

Ok NEW item:

Favor item:

Passives: 

20% Chance of doing 2x Damage with Spells.

---> this required a hack of the global DealDamage function (as no original functions were able to modify the ability for a 'Spell' to critical hit or the multiplier). Therefore, it may not apply to everything. If you guys do some testing on this item, can you look for spells which are not given this bonus?

This item also affects AOE spells --> damage multiplier here is individually calaculated for each unit, so the chance is 20% for each unit in the area on each tick.

DOT damage (ie Spit) is calculated on a per tick basis - ie spit may have 6 ticks of normal and 2 ticks with 2x damage.

Also if you think that 2x (or 20% proc chance) is too much of a bonus let me know so i can alter it before release.

EDIT: Ty pacov. Have fixed golem tooltip now

EDIT 2: also if you guys could keep a look out for items which have incorrect cast action for the time (ie stop casting before end of cast bar or do not have a cast action at all), have buffs that show incorrect tooltip/no tooltip/incorrect buff icon for that weapon, fail to show abort text, or do not produce a sound (and you think they should) on cast/for the actual items ability (for example lightning) that would be FANTASTIC. +1 karma for all bugs reported about these things .

EDIT 3: NOTE FOR SELF: icon update for all items that currently are using ingame (and used) icons some time in the next 1-3 versions of favormod

whoa HOLY.....

TY Peppe!

Thinking about a buff for golem.  Been playing around with him and he doesn't quite seem strong enough.  Can you provide the current stats from the lua if you get a chance?  Otherwise, I'll do a search in a little bit.  Thanks!

hmm after about 5 hours trying to get spell shield to work i am going to drop it for the moment, until i can work out how to detect a stun before it affects the demigod.

onto icons!

lol

Idea - but its a tricky 1.  Can you add an item to the CITADEL?  It gets even more tricky.  I'd like it to be something that could be bought multiple times, but if need be, we could make it a 1 shot item (like you buy fs1 once, then you by fs2 - you only buy 1 level at a time).

Anyway, here's what I'd like to see.  This new item will essentially be an allied structure shield. It would make all allied structures unable to take damage (but hopefully still able to fire) and regen at a rate of say, +120 per second for 10 seconds.  If we could make it infinite use, then super.  But if not, perhaps we increment its power per level.  This could be a fun, game changing way to save your citadel if its going down or make a comeback, but the price should reduce its usage at least early game to save towers, etc.  Whatcha think?

Hmm just found this might have a bug.

I will take it down for now and put the old one back up for a bit until i get it sorted

Exx

i have limited time and I'm not sure if I downloaded the old version or not.  Will check in later.  Exe updated.  Just add a message here when you have it uploaded again.  The original link i posted earlier in this thread will always be the link to the exe.

oh btw, i havent been linking your .exe cause i figure most ppl are going to download your ALL IN ONE.exe file from your thread in the main page (i do ).

And i figure it makes it easier for you if it is not in a .exe format for you to add to that complilation (if not let me know ).

Edit: Fixes for next version:

Now displays text Critical! when abilities gain a critical hit bonus with arcane mastery

Ok i would like to make another set. (critical hit biased)

1. Duelist Curiass (EXISTING) cost 2500

350 armor

500 health

10% chance of 1.5x critical (weapon proc)

2. Duelist Pendant cost 2600

15% chance of 1.5x Critical (weapon proc)

15% chance of 1.5x Critical (abilities)

3. Duelist Treads 3400

10% evasion

10% movement Speed

15% chance of 1.5x Critical (weapon proc)

Set Buff: Vital Strike

15% chance of 1.5x Critical (abilities)

100% critical Hit chance  (2x Damage) on enemies with less than 20% health

^^ updated main post to recommend you community mod pack.

TY pacov

Ok after some more testing with new item (arcane mastery), i am seeing some unusual behaviour. - on aoe spells, damage multiplier is spreading.

--> this has been fixed for next version
