📋 About This Mod

INTRODUCTION:

This mod-guide is essentially a step by step guide for the dinput8.dll hooks mod along with a config file that disables everything except what's needed for getting more skills for any Arisen vocation. The idea is to give players that only want more skills for their Arisen exactly that, and nothing else. No OP skill modifications, no need for cheats, no BS.

Why is this called a mod-guide? Because I didn't create the mod this method uses, I just edited its configuration file to remove the unnecesary things and made this guide for everyone to achieve the proposed goal using this already existing mod and some basic controller input setup using Steam's innate Controller Configuration.

I don't consider this to be common knowledge on the community (specially the part about doing with a Controller, which I never saw before).

I googled multiple times how to get more than 3 skills on my Warrior Arisen and couldn't comfortably find a reliable answer to do this (most people say it can't be done and the few that say it was possible didn't say exactly how). That's the reason for this guide, to give everyone, specially my fellow Arisen Warriors, an easy to follow guide to have more Skill Slots explained in a clear and concise way.

THE METHOD:

Our method of having more Skill Slots is by actually having two (or more) Skill Sets (each with 6 skills or 3 in the case of Warriors) and switching between them on the fly with the press of a user-selectable controller button (or the 'R' key if you play with Mouse and Keyboard). The ''Skill Sets'' are a function of the dinput8.dll hooks mod that lets you save sets of skills and cycle between them. With the help of Steam's Controller Configuration (or a third-party remapper, more on this at the end) we can then make the controller be able to select a controller button to use for this ''Switch Skill Set'' mod action.

Note: because of the way this works, you can actually have as many Skill Sets as you want and keep cycling between them, so you could have 12 skills or more even. This also works with any class and, should you wish to be more experimental, the mod even offer the option to disable Vocation-limitations of both Skills (so any vocation can use any Skill) and equipment.

But this mod-guide is made for a more vanilla-experience only. If you want more details
