HotFix: 1.09.123

- Meteor Shower's primary damage increased to 285% from 275%.
- Removed Elemental Damage status application from Staff of Magus V2 since they already create a surface. This was producing a double dip status damage tick. Chilled and Slowed are unchanged.

HotFix: 1.09.9.121

Patch: 1.09.9.12

-New-

- Ethereal Storm V2 - 3AP, 2SP - Fracture the ethereal plane for 2 turns causing bolts of erratic magic energy to strike enemies within a 10m radius. Each bolt deals 120% Air, Water, Fire, Poison or Earth damage based on the target's lowest resistance while creating a random surface. During the storm your skills and attacks will warp causing drastic changes from their original form by also hitting targets based on their lowest elemental resistance. This icnludes surface damage and DoTs.

- Staff of Magus V2 - This rework grants staff wielders free semi-AP for damage output which should prove a competitive offensive choice while reducing the need to upgrade for mage types. When you have a staff equipped any magic attack you cast will charge your staff causing Staff of Magus to have no AP cost. Each staff now produces a Bolt, surface and status type based on the damage type of the staff. Staff of Magus deals 100% Multiplier damage (like a spell) in a 2m radius instead of 100% WeaponDamage. CD increased to 2 turns from 1.


-Changes-

- Equilibrium and Affliction Overload are now controlled by a new Lua script.

- Equilibrium Talent:
- Affliction Overload Damage Bonus is now additive with Equilibrium.
- Toggle bonus is a flat additive Damage Bonus of +40% when the boost status is up for attacks or magic.
- Base Damage bonus increased by 40% due to the additive change with Affliction Overload and talent math.
- Now considers off-beat stat based skills such as INT/FIN to Tentacle Lash or INT/STR to Chloroform.
- No longer considers grenades for it's damage increase.
- Math changes give this Talent notably more performance on it's own with a soft cap after heavy investment in both main stats.
Keep in mind main stats are worth more per point than Wits which is what a typical build would invest in after INT/STR/FIN.

- Flowing Recollection has been reverted to using a status for it's "Reduce Requirements of Skills" function instead of a Boost. Boost is generally more reliable however Lone Wolf will double 'Boost' effects and even though this is compensated in script math, the base +2 points from +1 was simply too good. Extra script added to re-apply when a few game events remove statuses.
- Removed majority of Undead NPC Poison Resistance stat entries. This was redundant with the Undead Talent and caused some issues with King of Terra.
- Pressure Spike has been given the Vaporize treatment for Surface transform accuracy and will iterate any surface in its radius not just the exact spot selected.
- Tweaked End-Battle fight mechanic to be a little easier to deal with. It was a bit aggressive for melee groups.
- Act2 GY Heroes encounter and Werewolf encounters has been improved.
- Clouded Minds Unique ring now uses a simple status script to control it's effects. The previous round count method could be exploited.
- Unique staves updated for new Staff of Magus skills. Skills added to global equip/unequip CD tracker.
- Unique Phoenix Quiver damage reduced to 85% Weapon Damage from 100%. Time delay charges just didn't quite compensate it's performance.
- Unique Grips of Despair chance of Critical Failure reduced to 15% from 20%.
- Dimensional Bolt damage increased to 120% from 115%.
- King of Terra's Earthen Affinity no longer has an AP coost and is now a toggle with a 3 turn CD.
- King of Storms is now a toggle with a 3 turn CD.
- Added a script to remove Arrow Spray from NPCs as a temporary solution until all Act NPCs can be reviewed again.

-Fixes-

- Fixed Equilibrium improperly responding to Reflected damage as an attack.
- Added Disintigrate's missing dual nature AP reduction for Elemental Affinity.
- Fixed a bug with Flowing Recollection not properly removing it's Necromancy Lifesteal rank.
- Fixed a hitlayer double dip with King of Terra's Poison Undead feature causing 1/3 damage instead of 1/2.
- Fixed End-Battle fight mechanic from occasionally not functioning correctly.
- Fixed Extravasate damage range not displaying correctly in the UI.

HotFix: 1.09.9.117

- An Act 4 Conflux encounter mechanic radius increased to 3m from 2m.
- Fixed Nullify from removing an Act 4 mechanic status.
- Fixed Living on the Edge target parameter typo preventing it from being used.

HotFix: 1.09.9.116

-New-

Dimensional Bolt now deals 115% from 100% Air, Fire, Earth, Poison or Water damage based on the target's lowest resistance then creates a random surface type. Cooldown increased to 2 turns from 1.

-Changes-

- Removed Twins helm force look effect as this could interrupt attacks of opportunity.
- Prowler will no longer function if the user is immobile.
- Ring of Turmoil now has a 500ms CD.

- Reduced WindRazor's Bombard skill to fork once from twice. Reduced Projectile per strike to 4 from 5.

-Fixes-

- Properly set Berserk Assault to 1AP 1SP activation this required editing the editor to allow a 1AP WeaponDamage Shout entry.
- Fixed Ommadon Pylon taking damage from un-owned surfaces.

HotFix: 1.09.9.115

- Fixed NPCs gaining the Perseverance 5+ perk for players caused from fixing a recent Escapist bonus to Perseverance.

HotFix: 1.09.9.114

- Removed newer Two Kings bonus status effects from Affliction Overload's status list for consistency. These are essentially free statuses that accompany base versions so counting the same action twice is unnecessary. Rimefire was already not counted by the Talent since it's a free product of Proliferate. Re-initialized Savegame Data.
- Set all storm skills to 2 memory cost.

-Fixes-

- Fixed Equilibrium making UI changes to the primary strike of Spark skills. Note there's a vanilla bug which claims elemental weapon damage like Elemental Arrows is improved by it's Element. This is not correct. %Weapon Damage functions are based on the weapon damage itself and any applied boosts like Runes.
- Fixed outdated Overload status description.
- Fixed a rogue VFX light source for new Meteor Shower.
- Properly set Arrow Storm at 2 memory cost.

Patch: 1.09.113

-New-

Meteor Shower V2 - 3AP 2SP - Evoke a meteoric storm from the stars. Debris from the meteors will randomly scar the area in a 4m radius dealing 15% fire damage.
