Slayer
New skill improving combat with two-handed weaponsThis mod aims to rebalance two handed weapons, putting them in the same ballpark as one handed weapons combined with a parrying shield.
In Vanilla the swings are slow, eat a lot of stamina, and don't really hit as hard as expected from a purely offensive stance.
Features
- Adds a skill called Slayer
- Each level of the skill raises two handed weapon damage by 0,25%. 25% increase at level 100.
- Each level of the skill lowers the pushback distance on being hit while attacking by 2%. Complete pushback immunity at level 50.
- Each level of the skill raises the stagger damage of twohanded weapons. By 50% at level 100 by default.
- All values can be configured and all features can be toggled on and off separately in the config file.
Installation
Use a mod manager, or drop the "plugins" folder from the zip into your Bepinex folder.
Compatibility
Compatible with EpicLoot. Not sure about other mods affecting weapon damage.
