Class Introduction
The Arsonist is a mid-ranged damage dealer who shines best in ranks 3 and 2 that can employ various ranged and melee abilities. Although very agile the Arsonist can be a bit fragile at times, this can be neglected with the use of his support skills that prolong his life and fix his positioning. The Arsonist as his name implies, loves using fire to burn and kill his enemies.

This mod needs an overhaul, a rework idk but somethin, is one of the most badass design but a WEIRD class and doesnt feel vanilla or modded either
FacuPlay525 9 Nov, 2024 @ 3:19pm 
this mod is a bit overshadowed by the "The Salamander" mod
FacuPlay525 9 Nov, 2024 @ 3:18pm 
and another thing they're right about is that their skill set is weird, it's not weak or OP, it doesn't feel much fun to play either. Attack animations look even worse

I think the hatred of this mod is a bit justified, the mod has a very important point for me:
The animations sometimes look weird because no modded characters move the way they do when they are idle, the best example of this is when you use "Hot-Heades" that could change your 3fps hand gesture to a better "midlle finger" which gives you more personality

Returning to DD after some time away, got jumpscared by my old art for this project! Happy to know it's still being enjoyed all this time later, especially with some reworks after fire abilities were expanded on with DD2!

Not sure if the dev is active still but FYI for others who want to use the mod, this is very easily corrected by updating the effect names in the .info file:

Effect name used in slashing_strike for the Speed debuff is incorrect, currently named "Ars Mark Debuff 1", etc. which does not exist in the .effects file. Should be named "Ars Strike Debuff 1", etc. based on the effects listed.

Cool concept, however I find his abilities to be too strong. The molotov burning mechanic is just too absurdly overpowered. Giving him CRIT + DMG trinkets will make him almost wipe 3 enemies with the AOE attack.

Hey, I'm a big fan of the mod. Would you consider buffing a few of the character's trinkets? The "Topical Burning Balm" in particular is a straight downgrade to the vanilla recovery charm.
