Thanks! I'll take a look.

ToME 1.2.0 Beta 12.

Error shows up any time a shooting attack is used and the Corrupted Archery sustain is active.

Disable Corrupted Archery, no error when firing.

Ah yes, 1.2 did break some things

I'll upload my working version (but not to Steam).


EDIT: *$#%&@ it's so frustrating to not be able to upload addons from inside the game, bah

EDIT 2: AH HA HA HA HA, your 1.2 games won't validate anyway, so there's no point in putting the 1.2 version up anywhere official! Here, enjoy: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/410 ... .2t01.teaa

I've been able to upload the 1.2.0 version of UI Mod to te4.org from inside the game. I forked it and registered it as a new addon.

Oh you're right, it just doesn't work for Steam.

Thanks!

You've got two versions of this on steam. Which do I use?

Wow, the in-game uploader is screwing up majorly.

I deleted the bogus copies, maybe I can upload without creating more.

Found at least one mistake(?) here while playing a Striker.

The first thing, which may or may not actually be intentional, is that Lightning Leap doesn't trigger Void Attunement. If this is a mistake, it might come from when you changed it to work in Vaults, since I would guess that it's not flagged as a 'port anymore.

The second thing is that Reckless Invocation is always physical/gravity, presumably because it hasn't been edited to account for staffs now all doing physical damage.

Hope this is helpful. The class is pretty fun.

You are correct on both counts. Thanks!

The staff thing is definitely a thing I'm going to fix.

Void Attunement ... yeah, I should probably hack that to work with Lightning Leap, too.

Fixed both of these, plus added some bonus stuff: all attack talents in Advanced Staff Combat convert the melee damage to your Staff's element.

I'm thinking about replacing either Defensive Posture or Blunt Thrust with a zero-cooldown melee talent that just does a melee attack with damage type of your Staff's element.

Or maybe a sustain which does the conversion, but drains a few Mana each strike (5 Mana, down to 1 Mana at talent level 5).

Which of those would y'all prefer, and which talent would be best to replace?

Using a unique staff that does gravity physical damage and gives a bonus to physical and temporal damages (Gravitational Staff) the burst on reckless invocation is arcane for some reason, even though it's not converting the base hit to arcane.

The conversion thing as a skill by itself would be a dead skill on a physical build. I'd hate to put points in a skill that winds up doing nothing because I found gear that makes it smarter to not use it. There's a unique staff geared towards staff combat that does physical (Bollum's Big Knocker?) and ascetic in particular has that cunning talent that lowers the enemy's physical resist when you hit encouraging you to go physical.

Add the conversion sustain effect to defensive posture.

Alternatively, I love the idea of a burning hands style talent in the staff combat tree, so replacing defensive posture with a converstion/added damage effect would be really cool. Might be a little on the over powered side though.

Yeah, anything that I can't identify gets turned into Arcane.

I'll see if I can deduce the base type from the advanced "base-plus-effects" type.

Very true, but even on a physical build you might want the option of using some other damage type if you came across a +100% phys res / -100% fire res foe or whatnot.

Personally, conversions are far nicer than 0 or 1 cooldown talents that I spam (especially in melee). 1-enter-1-enter-1-enter is so much more annoying to use than bumpbumpbump to kill foes, even if it is slightly better. Unless if bumps could somehow be changed to try to use skills other than attack, conversions have my vote.

Makes sense. I'll stick it in Defensive Posture at level 3 or something.
