📋 About This Mod
Seeks to make more weapons and spells viable and interesting. Underpowered weapons and spells are slightly buffed and spells with little/no purpose offline are reworked to have new uses. Miracle Synergy reworked to be achievable offline.
I was frustrated with the rebalance mods for PtDE that add extravagantly overtuned buffs or destroy the unique character of an item with their rebalances, so I made this. It mainly consists of simple parameter edits. I preferred to make unviably underpowered items less underpowered rather than overpowered, working within initial constraints where appropriate (for example: buffing the Stone Greataxe by transferring its dexterity scaling into its strength scaling, making it slightly more powerful on pure strength builds without actually affecting its total potential damage output).
More qualitative changes include changing Acid Surge into a damage-over-time spell (think Pestilent Mercury from DS3), Tranquil Walk of Peace decreasing all damage given and received within its radius for all factions, and White Dragon Breath being breathed from your mouth like a real dragon. Resist Curse does exactly what its item description says it does and the Tiny Being's Ring lives up to its description on the character creation menu. I've done my best to keep all changes tastful.
Complete list of changes are below. The .txt in the download has a version of this including my justifications for some of the choices I made, for those interested.
####PYROMANCIES####
-Poison Mist uses increased to 5
-Toxic Mist uses increased to 2
-Acid Surge now deals a modest DoT to enemies standing in the cloud in the style of Pestilent Mercury from DS3. Uses increased to 4
-Iron Flesh restored to its original pre-patch strength (phys damage reduction increased to 70% from 30%, fire and magic reduction increased to 70% from 0% ) but now slows stamina recovery
-Fire Surge deals slightly more damage
-Undead Rapport affects a broader variety of enemies:
-Undead Rat (all varieties)
-Black Knight
-Undead Attack Dog
-Armoured Boar
-infested Barbarian
-Cragspider
-Flaming Attack Dog
-Egg Carrier
-Silver Knight
-Sentinel and Royal Sentinel
-Darkwraith
-Mass of Souls
-Undead Dragon
-Bounding Demon (see .txt)
-All hostile hollow NPCs
-All originally affected enemies
####MIRACLES####
-All miracles capable of miracle resonance boosts (except for great heal and replenishment, see below) are at level three miracle synergy by default. The Ring of the Sun Princess can be used to boost these miracles to level four.
-Soothing Sunlight and Bountiful Sunlight are more powerful than Great Heal and Replenishment respectively. Soothing Sunlight cures status effect.
-Emit Force has a slightly larger explosion radius at all synergy levels
-Tranquil Walk of Peace now briefly applies a severe damage reduction to all entities within the AoE, affecting both caster
