Arcanum Class Pack v2.3

[HousePet]

Hmm some interesting ideas.

I don't think having two categories for Staff Combat talents would be a good idea. That would be a massive point sink.

I generally design my classes so that unlocking a category is you making a choice about which path your class advances in. So it isn't really intended that you unlock more than two categories.

Playing arcanist, p.cool class

[HousePet]

Odd. I'll have to check what went wrong with that...
What was the source of the shield?

Will fix, but I also need to clean up my Necromancy+ addon, so this is high on the list, but not top.

[HSmage]

Disregard that aegis report, it was my bad on being blind and looking at x/MAX value, while it was extending x(current shield).
Maybe it was a thing a few years ago and muscle memory did me fool? idk. Glad to have it running smooth

[HousePet]

Disregarding is happening.

[HSmage]

School of Magic(category shop) has a different list to choose from between every run, is it based on anything? random?

[Syovere]

It's based on your Magic stat, IIRC

[HousePet]

Correct. More categories will appear if you have a higher Magic stat.

I have been designing two new categories. (And tweaking two others.)
This has been prompted by Nightfall no longer being suitable as a category for Arcanist, and my general feeling that Elementist is a bit dull.
So Arcanist will be getting a new Spell/Shadows category (which will also be available for Shadowblade and maybe Necromancer). It is looking a bit more offensive focussed than Phantasm, and contains Darkness and Mind effects.
Void will be getting a couple of small tweaks to make it mesh better with Shadows for Dark path Arcanists.
Since Phantasm is finally something that looks worth using, Illusion is being overhauled. Currently looks like a Light/Mind combo, with damage and crowd control.
With the Elemental categories all being a bit direct damage, I'm going to add a more utility based Spell/Nature category. I think I'll give it to Arcane Blade as well, since they don't get much utility either.
On the subject of Arcane Blade. I'm going to make a small adjustment to Morph, and Arcane Blade will be able to take that as well, if they choose to.

Spell/Shadows
Leaping Shadow: active. Inflicts Darkness damage and Drained on a single target. Each turn it jumps to a new target, if available. (Drained is a magical debuff that applies -10% global speed.)
Lights Out: active. Target has it's light radius and darkness resistance reduced. If they fail a save they are put to Sleep, otherwise they are Brainlocked.
Cloak of Shadows: sustain. Flat damage reduction and inflicts blindness on attackers.
Shadow Fiends: active. Darkness/Mind damage Ground Hazard. Has a chance to inflict Panic.

Spell/Void changes
Disintegrate will apply Sunder Armour as well.
Frayed Edges will do real Darkness damage (I'm not sure where it disappeared to), inflict Drained, and either infect with a Manaworm or penalise enemies with Void Echoes.

Spell/Illusion
Dazzling Flash: active. Radius 1 Light burst that inflicts Dazzled. Short cooldown, lowish damage.
Prismatic Chaos: active. Light/Mind damage chain that inflicts Confusion.
Mind Entrapment: active. Dominates a weak creature, does Mind damage when the effect ends. Or does Mind damage and Stun on a strong creature.
Master Illusionist: passive. Increases the duration of Phantasm/Shadows/Illusionist sourced effects?

Spell/Nature
Recovery: active. Reduces duration of poisons/cuts/diseases. Excess power is used to restore Stamina.
Overgrowth: active. Radius 2 entangle ball. Chance to create temporary blocking trees? Inflicts poison at raw level 5.
Crushing Fatigue: active. Target enemy loses stamina/psi and gains equilibrium. Applies a heavy fatigue penalty. Chains to multiple targets with investment?
Regeneration: sustain. Life regen and negative life bonus. Becomes stronger when on low life, but also drains mana each turn.
Blighted Thorns: active. Radius 2 Blight/Physical damage. Inflicts bleeding.

Spell/Morph changes
Vitalise replaced with Giant Form: sustain. Increased Str, Con, Size and Knockback resistance.

[Syovere]

I like these ideas. Looking forward to the update.

Maybe Enchanters shouldn't be able to enchant arcane-disrupting items? Also, you spelled tier as teir in the description of Enchanted Pommel Gem

[HousePet]

HAX!

[Rukaneo]

Found a bug well one that doesn't have error message but it's with prodigy such as swift hands. It uses old swift hands so I am unable to use swift hands prodigy skill (the one where you use the item) without equipping it (defeating the purpose of the prodigy). So this brings the problem of (storing your items with prepare tools skill ) being completely useless outside of quick hand switch. And kinda stopped my progress.... I went about testing why and through all addons found it was arcanum causing it. Probably would test on your verdant pack as well if that causes it. Or any prodigy which gotten changed... (like aether permeation)

[HousePet]

I can't check the code right now, but I'm quite sure I am not messing with the code for that Prodigy.
However, it is possible that one of the functions that Swift Hands uses has been changed in how it functions. In which case whatever I might have done to it for another purpose might not be as clean as it should be.
I'll check on the weekend.

[HousePet]

Found it. The bit of code that lets the Enchanter Rune Staff talent work was conflicting.
Will fix.
