Bloodbath mutation rebalance

Bloodbath Rebalance

Note that I have not updated my game to 1. 30 yet as I'm waiting for CDPR to fix the modKit first. I have merely downloaded the 1. 30 version of playerwitcher.ws and used it to update this mod, but could not test it. If you encounter any issues, leave a message and I'll try to address them.

Premise:

If you've been looking around for post-B&W character builds, you will have noticed their common denominator: the Euphoria mutation—and with good reason: Euphoria is clearly the best for pretty much any build.

After a while I've grown tired of Euphoria builds, though; not because they aren't good, but because it felt like Euphoria was absolutely mandatory or your build would suck. I felt the need for variety without sacrificing too much in the way of power, so I picked my second-favorite mutation—Bloodbath—and decided to make it more competitive.

What it does:

I went about this by making a comparison table between Euphoria and Bloodbath that would help me identify the weak spots in the latter relative to the former, and this is what I came up with—

I had prepared a fancy table but for some reason my BBCODE won't display, so here's the next best thing:

• []Euphoria: Grants a bonus equal to 0. 75% of your current Toxicity to both Sign Intensity and Attack Power []Bloodbath: Grants a bonus that only applies to Attack Power, up to a maximum of 250% []Solution: Increase the maximum bonus provided by Bloodbath from 250% to 300% to make up for the lack of sign intensity boost []Euphoria: Provides an immediate bonus upon increasing your Toxicity score []Bloodbath: Requires you to build up your bonus by landing hits (5% per hit up to 250% after 50 hits) []Solution: Make Bloodbath's bonus build up quicker (10% per hit up to 300% after 30 hits)

• []Euphoria: Bonus lasts for as long as Toxicity lasts, regardless of whether you're hit in combat []Bloodbath: Bonus is lost when hit in combat, forcing you to build it up from scratch again
• Solution: Prevent Bloodbath's bonus from being lost upon taking damage

Simply download the archive and unzip it in your Witcher 3/Mods folder.

If you don't have one, create it.
