[mod] Unbalancing of Reign of Terror

Ram gave me permission to publish my changes of Reign of Terror as a separate thing.

First: this requires the 0.7.4.1 version of Reign of Terror available at [Mod] Reign of Terror

Installation:
Extract to the mods folder, replace as asked.

Recommended using this with new characters, preferably with a different stash save as well. Although it should work fine with existing characters, be mindful some changes done here will likely break things when changing back to the original mod.

Here’s a summary of what I changed from the mod:

Most Grim Dawn Unbalanced changes are applied.
Minus the conversion potions and removal of damage conversion from everything.

Skills:
Exclusive skills no longer exclusive.
Removed life time limit on summon skills that have a summon limit.
Doubled radius effects/projectiles.
Doubled target counts.
Extended the range of some player skills.
Removed life reduction from mob skills.
Changed resistance to life reduction to vitality.
Several debuff skills changed to -2% res per level.
Removed active mana cost and mana reserved from all skills.
Changed skeleton mastery and golem mastery to be a general boost to pets.
Added 2 hp/sec regen per level to skeleton mastery (Classic Necro) and oaksage spirit (Druid).
Druid’s poison creeper made invincible and untargetable. Enemies will ignore it now.
Removed mana cost from Druid’s summoned bear skills.
Bone Mastery life steal chance removed, changed to 0.2% life steal per level.
Removed ranged weapon requirement from Blessed Aim.
Restored dodge skill.

Items:
Changed + to all skills for a mastery into + to all skills.

Soulbound tag removed.
Potions’ skills changed to passive.
Changed the Facets damage conversion to 100%.

thanks for the update mate - just for some reason I am barely taking damage even from hidden nemesis /uber bosses

Either you’re that overcapped in resistances or I really neutered them by removing their life reduction.
I’ve yet to get a testing character there (doing it as a mod separate from reign of terror.
