Has he a canon name?

Loved this guy since his initial release back in 2017

@Lord Marshal Valdar: Something like that, not cthulhu exactly, but more like some lesser cthulhu like creature. ^^
Lord Marshal Valdar 10 Oct, 2023 @ 1:32pm 
I'm guessing the scourge is a worshiper of Cthulhu, judging by the way his armor, weapon and his trinket's look.

@Jaeyong486: Not sure if I follow. ^^

@Mirakulas: Thanks! I'm still trying to balance it and make it not overpowered. ^^
Mirakulas 29 Mar, 2023 @ 1:26pm 
Really fun class. Has some great synergies with other blight based class mods.
Exaelus  [author] 28 Mar, 2023 @ 6:31pm 
@H.U.N.K: Sadly not. Sorry for the late response.
H.U.N.K 20 Jan, 2023 @ 10:52am 
Is there possibility to release legacy version of the hero?

REVIEW TIME.
Uniqueness - yes.
Fun to play - meh.
Balance - nope.
boring and overpowered class. you will always use 3 skills: Un.Torment+Noxious Raze+Purge...
if u want mass blight install this mod :)

@Lunar Blacksmith: Don't worry, that's just a notification what the game thinks certain abilities should be set to, but it's working perfectly fine. False alert.
Lunar Blacksmith 2 Apr, 2022 @ 9:45am 
It appears that your class mods (notably the Scourge, Revenant, and Harbinger classes) display this error now on loading a new game with all official DLCs:
"Effect:deathlock_transfer is steal effect needs .target set to target/target_group_other or
Effect:purge_transfer is steal effect needs .target set to target/target_group_other or
Effect:abygrip_transfer is steal effect needs .target set to target/target_group_other or"


Any idea what this means?

Love the other classes you made, can't wait to try this one!
Trashcan 20 Oct, 2021 @ 5:10pm 
I like your art style and the unique mechanics each class brings to the table. nice work :steamthumbsup:
Exaelus  [author] 2 Jan, 2021 @ 5:20pm 
@hiddenblaster: Thanks, yeah I don't know, as far as I remember I changed it to match the Bleed amount received which was how it was written after the DLC was released. Not sure though if they changed something during all this time to say blight damage, it's all good though, it's clear what's up. ^^

@Somberz: I'm just happy you guys enjoy the mods and you are very welcome! ^^
Somberz 4 Dec, 2020 @ 11:11am 
Got around to playing DD again and played some of the rework. Love it! Thank you for all you do for the community, your hard work is noticed and greatly appreciated, keep it up Exaelus!
Exaelus  [author] 4 Oct, 2020 @ 3:33am 
@MrDeath: Yeah wanted to change that, initially he was supposed to be a problematic class to carry with you but I had a change of heart and decided to make it a bit more well playable. ^^
MrDeath 4 Oct, 2020 @ 1:13am 
Solid stuff, much appreciate the fact that now the Scourge is not your-own-team-crippling-machine
Exaelus  [author] 3 Oct, 2020 @ 7:38am 
@MrDeath: Most of the information is now written in the patch notes. ^^
Exaelus  [author] 3 Oct, 2020 @ 6:22am 
@MrDeath: Early stages, everything will be written up soonish.
MrDeath 3 Oct, 2020 @ 4:54am 
Any information about the rework (besides the note about stances)? Or its just in early stage and no proper numbers are given?
Exaelus  [author] 26 Aug, 2020 @ 8:19am 
@Wolf and Saint: I tried to reason with the guy but it was impossible, I give everyone a chance, hell I've invited people to my friends list that were giving legit criticism regarding my mods just talk to them and see what exactly they disliked, if it's a troll I just ignore and move on. I hope you don't think that I wrote paragraphs assuming I was provoked, I always type a lot and I am aware that I should probably try and type less. ^^
HelloKittySuperPrincessGuitar 26 Aug, 2020 @ 6:19am 
> your provocation wont work
types 3 paragraphs
Exaelus  [author] 5 Aug, 2020 @ 2:51am 
@Chocostar: Always do! Thanks man! ^^

@NeonNobility: Wow, look at you, so edgy. So first it was colors then it was art style and I clearly told you the reasons why things are the way they are, if technical issues, health issues and doing this change once already in the past are just excuses, then I don't know what to say. You are either very young or a troll, throwing a fit because things are not the way you would like them to be, like I said your provocation will not work. You are acting like I owe you something, I don't, I made these classes as a passion project and a distraction from real life stuff and I can do whatever I want with them, It's clear you are trying, very poorly I might add, to provoke and annoy me while the only thing you accomplished is make me feel sorry for you. I tried to be reasonable but clearly you are too immature to have an actual conversation, we have nothing else to discuss.
Farewell, good luck and stay safe.
NeonNobility 4 Aug, 2020 @ 4:03pm 
Imagine if you spent as much time coming up with excuses as you did coloring in your modded characters
Exaelus  [author] 4 Aug, 2020 @ 3:00pm 
@NeonNobility: Also as an additional mention, I love criticism and making people happy, but hey I can't constantly flip flop. I've been through this once and if I go back now in like a few months someone will say it's too colorful and stands out too much, just like it happened once already and it's an endless loop. The people that tested all felt it's fine and I will keep it this way for now.
Exaelus  [author] 4 Aug, 2020 @ 2:47pm 
@NeonNobility: Well I honestly don't know how you see them entirely grey, I can clearly see color on them and now the art style is the problem as well? I worked hard on all of my classes for a long time, I spent thousands of hours making these classes for completely free and each class must have changed over at least a dozen times, so you saying I didn't bother seems a bit offensive and it seems like provocation of sorts, but I never fall for such things, but hey, you can believe whatever you want, like I said, can't please everyone. I also mentioned many times I'm not a professional artist with an expensive art school in my background, I tried very hard to make the classes fit the game and went through a lot of technical difficulties. I know a lot of people who appreciate the classes and the time I put in and there are people who don't and think they are too complex or in your case grey, but hey that's fine, it is what it is.
NeonNobility 4 Aug, 2020 @ 1:20pm 
Okay but you could match the art style of the game rather than making them entirely grey. Seems to me like you just didn't want to bother coloring them in
Exaelus  [author] 4 Aug, 2020 @ 3:44am 
@NeonNobility: Well I honestly don't know what to say, it's like a double edged sword, when I was making the classes and the colors were more intense, I had some testers say they had too much color and stood out way too much and I quote "It looks too clowny". After some time I tone colors down a bit and now a few years later you say they are grey, well sadly I can't please everyone.
NeonNobility 3 Aug, 2020 @ 7:39pm 
Okay, I meant all your mods in general
Exaelus  [author] 29 Jul, 2020 @ 2:21am 
@NeonNobility: Agreed, but this class was meant to be gray-greenish adding any other color, or making things more colorful just didn't work for me at all, it didn't feel right. ^^
NeonNobility 4 Jun, 2020 @ 2:51pm 
Fun fact: there are actually more colors than just grey
Exaelus  [author] 8 Apr, 2020 @ 1:34am 
@Jaberbeist: I didn't play GW2 while modding, I played it quite a long time ago, from like release for a few years that's it.
Jabers 8 Apr, 2020 @ 1:21am 
@Exaelus thats amazing. I never bought legendaries, just made them, the ones which are 2nd/3rd generation. Like nevermore staff, HOPE pistol and the Shining blade sword. I stopped doing meta and only logged in to do daily fractals or weekly raids and that eventually stopped too lol. Haven't played properly since last december. Btw looking at your release dates of these mods it seems like u created them around when Path of Fire expansion came out
Exaelus  [author] 8 Apr, 2020 @ 1:12am 
@Jaberbeist: I played quite a bit of it and I had fun with fractals, made twilight before making precursors were a thing, I had to find/buy one, which I had to buy since I never got lucky, making the gifts required were grindy as fuck and also I enjoyed the super adventure box a lot, it was my favourite thing, tribulation mode! The music made me nostalgic so much and the crocodile rivers and stuff took me back into the past. I do kind of miss that game, but at the same time, I feel like I've played it enough. ^^
Jabers 7 Apr, 2020 @ 10:32pm 
You're a big guild wars fan aren't u @exaelus? lol i been playing gw2 since 2015 but now on and off since i got burned out. So its nice to see these class names once again
Друманин Дрин 15 Feb, 2020 @ 7:15am 
@Exaelus True. But maybe there any other variant to balance it and keep resistance against CC? Just an offer
Exaelus  [author] 15 Feb, 2020 @ 6:27am 
@Друманин Дрин: Balance purposes, pretty strong class.
Друманин Дрин 15 Feb, 2020 @ 5:47am 
@Exaelus Hello again. Now I become more pro in this game). I wanted to ask you. Why your class doesnt have immunity to the Crimson Curse? Scourge looks like adept of high blight gods. I think it will be pretty logical if he will has Immunity
Exaelus  [author] 28 Jan, 2020 @ 8:04am 
@Друманин Дрин: Thanks, have fun. ^^
Друманин Дрин 28 Jan, 2020 @ 6:00am 
@Exaelus Ill test it pretty soon. But Im afraid I could be a bad adviser. Today, somehow, he was pretty weak in crimson dlc (but maybe he was because he was level 2 on veteran level 3 mission)/ But Ill test and will give you honest personal opinion. Thank you for working with your community and Ill defenetly try another your mods =3
Exaelus  [author] 28 Jan, 2020 @ 4:44am 
@Друманин Дрин: Well I nerfed his damage a bit and will leave it as it is now for a bit, to see how it goes.
Друманин Дрин 27 Jan, 2020 @ 9:28pm 
@Exaelus Yeah, but I guess you dont mind to hear another opinion of user of your mod? Hope on that so. Well, I dont use perks which stress my team on him. I use - 1) casual sword strike. 2) 1-2 line double slam with poison 3) aoe for 3 first lines 4) self-heal. As for me, he is too strong for any of his role. DD or Tank. Its depends on what do you want from your character mod. Tank or DD.
Exaelus  [author] 27 Jan, 2020 @ 7:30am 
@Друманин Дрин: Well after balancing him for quite some time quite a while ago... and me nerfing/buffing him constantly, I decided to leave him as it was at some point when people stopped complaining about him being too strong or ultimates not being worth it. Changed the way certain things work but still. He still stresses out his team with his ultimates unless you have his set which makes him very strong indeed. I haven't heard from anyone saying anything lately so no changes were made. I lowered his damage a bit.
Друманин Дрин 27 Jan, 2020 @ 1:05am 
@Exaelus Im not sure, can I or not create a topic about balace of your mod, but well, I can write here. I guess your mod too unbalanced? He has very good position attacks. They are pretty strong. He has a lot of HP (if he tank its ok, but if he tank, there are too many damage from him) And most of all - he has strong self-heal. Dont you think that there should be balance, or mod intended unbalanced?
Exaelus  [author] 18 Apr, 2019 @ 3:01pm 
@Exaelus: Thanks, very nice, I hope you like them!
