📋 About This Mod
Description
Focus abilities no longer cost focus. Instead, they now cost mana or stamina. All focus abilities have a cost of 50 and a cooldown of 60 or 120 seconds. I've also added a version of the mod that excludes Mark of the Rift, for those of you who still want focus to have a purpose.
FAQ
Q.
Which focus tier do abilities use now?
A. There is no known way to give players two or three tiers of mana or stamina, so this mod makes focus abilities randomly choose between tiers 1 and 2. Tier 3 may creep up every now and then, but I cannot confirm this.
Q. Can you give different abilities different cooldowns and costs? A. Unfortunately, the cooldown and cost of all focus abilities is tied together, so changing either of those values for one ability will effect ALL abilities.
Q. Can you make a version with no cooldown time? A. Perhaps, but there is already a mod that removes or halves cooldown times.
