Comprehensive Mindslayer rework

[HousePet]

DarkGod is whipping me to finish this so that he can merge it into the 1.2 beta.

I'd like to write Resonant Focus and do something with Telekinetic Assault tonight, then I think its done except for balance tweaks.
Do others agree with that assessment? I may have overlooked something?

[HousePet]

Updated: Much choppage.

Frenzied Focus isn't completed but I think everything else it.

I love these changes. Getting rid of Reach strengthens melee slayers in relative terms, as you'll be in near-melee range anyway just to use your leeches. The boost to Thermal Mastery now makes it the second best tree, after Charged.

Again, I think that this version needs to be incorporated into Beta 11. It's more stable, more interesting and more balanced than the existing version.

DarkGod keeps whipping me to finish it before he merges it.
I just need to fix up Resonant Focus and finish Frenzied Focus then its done.
Unless anyone finds anything else to do?

Get rid of the Auras tree.

Fold them all into one talent, Conduit perhaps.

[HousePet]

What for?

[ZyZ]

1) Infinite bug spam in projection.lua 331 : getSpikedRange. Mob has no targets in sight
2) Can't start as yeek mindslayer

[HousePet]

Can you elaborate on Yeek Mindslayer please?

Edit: Nevermind, I see the problem.

[HousePet]

This should be the final version I'm posting here.

[Suslik]

Oh god I'm so afraid to test the new mindslayers =( Even though they did need rework I loved them so much =(

Particularly afraid that their defense(shields, stun resistance and deflection) will get nerfed, can't even pull myself together to test.

[Dhurke]

Augmentation does increase stats (13->16) but won't let me spec armor training at 16 och wield weapons with req 16 str.

[HousePet]

Dhurke, that is a rounding issue. Your strength is actually a tiny bit less than 16.

yeach.lua:73 table index is nil (there are multiple references to this talent in many files)

I think it's Reach. It's not just NPC files but Mindhook as well.
