This mod boosts Defense skills :

- Perserverance : Recover 10% of armor per point after hard CC instead of 5%

Pairs well with Individual Armor Damage Multipliers for moderate CC control thanks to boosted Perseverance : https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1766658844

Perseverance is still at 5% per point; the other 2 defensive skills work fine (as this Mod claims).

Retribution is a bit much, seems really strong. Remember that you're not playing as a statue, you can move and cast skills the same way enemies can. 80% reflection will be a 1-way ticket to an unbeatable 1v1 fight. Still, will give it a shot, see what changes, maybe alter enemies to be the same.

Retribution is most defiantly not op lol, at base it gives you 50% reflection at 10, if you consider that most enemies have more HP, PA and MA than your character a single enemy can kill you and still be alive. When there's multiple enemies it is even less effective. Even at 80% it's still the same.

Retribution is already pretty op tho.

Nice to see that you got into it. Please contact me either on Steam or Discord (same pseudo) for discussing about modding

forget:
-> increased damage of onehanded maces from 75% (see below) to 80%.

i know its not perfect. But i have not found entities to edit the bonuses a combatability gives or the DW plenalty. So i had to change things i can change.
There was a enitity called: dualwhieldingAPPenalty with 2AP but i have not unterstood this.

Target was not balance... target was to make shield and DW warriorbuilds more playable in comparison to 2handed builds as lone wolf.

thanks for your answer. I tested the tool and changed some things. Than i saved all and "published" it local. But in the game i do not see the mod.

I made the following changes:
-> increase dodge from DW from 1% -> 2% per point
-> increase basedamage of 1handed weapons from 67% to 75%
-> increase the critdmg for 1h swords from 150% -> 200%
-> increase the critchance für 1h axes from 0 -> 5%
-> increase armor value of shields from 90% -> 100% for physics and 60% -> 75% for magic
-> increase damagemodifier from bouncing shield from 75% -> 100%

I have not found the entity, where i can remove the hidden ability that the offhand of DW. Currently only the first attack makes full damage. The 2nd and 3rd attack have a 50% plenalty in basedamage and critdamage. So DW makes 67% of the damage 2handed does and only 17% more than 1handed.

maybe its op...but i must test it.

@nordstern
This is something yes, however it's not in my priorities. If you want to learn how to mod this, please install the divinity engine 2 and visit this page : https://docs.larian.game/Main_Page
I also strongly advise you to go on Larian discord, it has a modding section since the engine documentation is quite poor.

Maybe can you overwork the dual whielding? I like it. But i am sad that it is so weak against 2handed or onehanded+shield. Damage must not be buffed, but survivalbility maybe? double the amount of dodge you get per point in dual whielding? That would be nice.

I can not do this on my own.. or you tell me how to change this. maybe you can tell me, who can help me.
