Mod Overview

ArtificerExtended introduces a handful of new skills for Artificer with the intention of adding new, varied gameplay styles in creative ways. Introduces 11 new abilities, all arranged in a satisfying pattern!

BALANCE ADJUSTMENTS AND REWORKS

Ion Surge Rework

Ion Surge has been reworked to be more compatible with the new passive and new playstyles. Instead of dealing damage and bursting high into the air, the new Ion Surge gives three bursts of directional mobility, with no damage. Hold space to go up! Additionally, all other skills can be used while Ion Surge is being cast.

Chill Rework

The 80% "Cold Slow" has been repurposed into "CHILL" for ArtificerExtended! It can now stack up to 10x, with potential bonus effects! Not only can her cold-based skills apply CHILL, but certain items can as well.

CONTENT!

Brand new skills!

FOUR new Primary skills: ICE SHARDS, FLAME BURST, LASER BOLTS, SNOWBALLS

THREE new Secondary skills: CHANNELED NANO-METEOR, FOCUSED SHOCKWAVE, COLD FUSION

THREE new Utility skills: NAPALM BARRAGE, ROLLING THUNDER, TEMPERATURE DROP

ONE new Special skill: FROSTBITE

The skills design of ArtificerExtended is focused around accessibility and depth. There is something for everyone here! Melee skills, long ranged skills, armor, mobility, cooldowns, attack speed - you name it, AE has some of it!

And more!

New passives, and new unlocks!

Any unlock can even be bypassed via config if you desire.

Known Issues

• None! The mod is perfect..?
