Berserker Skill Durations v2 5min (v.13)

Description
Features:
Ice Shield - Duration increased to 5 minutes, cooldown unchanged.
Battle Rage - Duration increased to 5 minutes, cooldown increased to 5 minutes. This was to address an issue with recasting.
Stormclaw - Duration increased to 5 minutes, cooldown unchanged.
Wolfshade - Duration increased to 5 minutes, cooldown unchanged.

Description:
The one thing that always stopped me from enjoying my Berserker was the fact that their most powerful defensive skill, Ice Shield, required me to recast it every 10 seconds. This became irritating and I was constantly being pulled out of the action to check to see if the buff was still active. It really disrupted the flow of combat. A 5 minute duration allows me to focus on my position and active ability usage without staring at the buff timer the whole time.

Battle Rage was more preference than annoyance. Its 60 second duration was acceptable, but since its cooldown was shorter than its duration, it was always active (like Ice Shield) and was just another button to remember to push.

Stormclaw follows the same logic for Battle Rage.

Wolfshade always felt a little useless unless you got it to 15/15. With the duration barely long enough for it to run to the enemy, it's healing and damage were ineffectual. This change does reduce the value of placing points into the skill however, since the tier bonuses are removed. It does still increase in damage/healing with skill points.

If you prefer a version without my Wolfshade changes, please use my other mod:

Bugs:
The tooltip for the charge gain on Ice Shield does not update on recast if the buff is still active after placing a skill point. Example; with 1 point there is a 44% chance to gain charge, at 15 points it's 100%. If you have one point the tooltip will say 44%, then if you put 14 more points in the skill and recast it before the initial cast expires the tooltip will not update to say 100% chance to gain charge. The effect DOES still work, however.

Changing the order helped, thanks. It was most likely caused by the synergies update.

Did you install any other mods in the interim? The only reason a mod would stop working out of the blue is if it either 1. Conflicts with a new mod or 2. Your load order changed and another mod is overwriting my changes. Number 2 can also be caused by a mod updating and modifying new files that it didn't before. Even if your load order hasn't changed, mods that overwrite mine may have updated to change the skills mine does.

Try moving the mod to the top of the load order and try again.

Does anyone have an idea or hint as to why this mod suddenly stopped workign for me? I was playng synergies mod with this one and it was working fine a few weeks ago. Now for some reason the skill duration mods refuse to work for me. I've tried checking the synegy and torchlight forums and teir patch notes, but I do not see any changes to any of the berserker abilities. I tried deleting and reinstalling the mod and a different version of it, but to no avail.

Infinite version please?

any chance you could make a version with stormclaw but without wolf shade?

Is there a way to make these skills passive(one time activation)?

Because that would be even more awesome.

great mod, this is the only complaint i had about torchlight2 was the micromanaging of cooldowns!
