Yes, I was also thinking about bringing back "Inspiring Radiance", "Aggrandizing Radiance" and "Painful Interdiction" as trinket-based effects. Those were my favorite Priest abilites in PoE. So basically they would "upgrade" Holy Radiance and Interdiction - if that's possible. Else they would simply add a better version of the spell to the portfolio.

It's not released yet. It's in the making. Beta status if you will. It will also get released as several standalone mods so that you can choose which changes you want to use and which not. Here are some beta versions: basic, extra, keyword-fixing and typo-fixing "patches": https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WFlBV_nkWk8E9ppQqiqLbljMWHjicENd the "patch notes" for basic and extra unique icons for all passives: https://uploadfiles.io/5wivylco (load this as last mod in the mod manager) If you want to follow the discussions and the progress on the Community Patch you can follow the "Deadfire Polishing Poll" thread.

@Phenomenum, @MaxQuest and the others: So concerning trinkets... Shall I sit down and "design" a few Priest trinkets with the recent discussions in mind? Some "themed" ones that bring a bit lore as well. Something like Dyrwooden Prayerbook, St. Herman's Essay on Warfare and so on? Those would give certan fitting spells and maybe PL bonus or so? I'll try to find stuff that I think is easy to mod. I'll try to find names and themes that are already in the lore or are lore-friendly. Some which bring back the spiritual weapons/passives of PoE back? But maybe without the subclass restriction/special subclass bonuses (too fiddly and takes away build options)? This would mean taht a Priest of Eothas could summon a Magranite Arquebus though. Do we want that? Is it possible to attach a "proper" disposition scaling? I mean would it be possible to attach the favored disposition to that spell? Then a Priest of Eothas could use the spiritual arquebus, but it wouldn't scale well with his opposite disposition. Kind of a soft-lockout, not a hard one. Also means if I design a Skaen-like trinket that adds Lesser Sneak Attack it would be usable by a Priest of Eothas. Which itself is cool I think - but it would be even better if taht Sneak Attack scaled with Skaens favored disposition - if you know what I mean. I'm totally willing to write down a whole buch of those if that helps us to get things going.

Like AndreaColombo said. In general: relying on attack from stealth/invisibility is a weak move in a party based playthrough to begin with (with the exception of Vanishing Strikes/SC Rogue and Whispers of the Wind/SC Monk). It can be fun an is effective in certain encounters, but it is a completly different playstyle then. It's great for soloing though. But Rogues are not all about that. Not at all. Their "Sneak Attack" passive simply means they deal a hell lot of more damage to any enemy that has an affliction. Given that melee rogues have a passive named "Persistent Distraction" that causes two affliction just by engaging somebody (Distract which includes Flanked) his Sneak Attack turns into a 100% uptime passive damage bonus. But even without Persistent Distraction: it's so easy to put afflictions on enemies with all kinds of abilities that Sneak Attack nearly always applies. No stealth involved. If you want high melee dps a Rogue is your best bet - generally speaking.

The problem with too many keywords on one single ability is indeed that Power Level buffing and also PEN buffing via Heart of the Storm etc. can get out of hand. Take the example of Greater Maelstrom which hats lots of keywords: +1 PEN from Heart of the Storm +1 PEN from Scion of Flame +1 PEN from Secrets of Rime +1 PEN from Fury passive +2 from Deltro's Cage +1 from Otto Starcat or +1 from Pozzi +3 Power Level from Lord Darryn's Voulge or +4 PL from Sund and Moon+Magran's Favor or +3 from Chromoprismatic Staff And this is without universal PL buffs like Wellspring of Life, Prestige, Power SUrge etc. - just keyword based PL and PEN stacking. Every Power Level scales the base damage of the spell by 5%. You can now easily stack 7 PL on Greater Maelstrom which means +35% multiplicative damage. Use with decent MIG (e.g. +30% dmg bonus) and you are at 35*1.3 = 45.5% dmg bonus for Greater Maelstrom. Ouch. Thus one has to be careful with adding keywords - even if it would make total sense from a "logical" perspective. You would break balance of spells otherwise: make some (with many keywords) potentially OP while others will fall behind (e.g. non-elemental spells). @Phenomenum: If Vatnir's Death Ring gets the Decay keyword there's something wrong I'd say? Since it's a druid-exclusive keyword (like Priests have their exclusive keywords, too). It shouldn't have that I think. It should get something like Punishment and Acid - so basically Priest + universal elemental keywords? Edit: Eh, sorry . like you said in the edited quote (which I missed the first time while reading it). With Cadebald's Blackbow: also like Phenomenum said: it does more harm than good (even it it makes total sense): the implementation of immunities (on enemies) prevents that a weapon does damage at all if it is tagged with the fitting elemental keyword: no matter which type of damage it actually does. Example: if you fire at a shock immune enemy with Essence Interrupter (which is keyworded with shock) you won't so any damage even though you have pierce/shock damage. The game first checks if the attack it self is keyworded with shock, discards it if that'sthe case and will not get to the point where it would check which damage type would be better. Thus: better to remove elemental keywords from all weapons which do have dual damage types or different damage types than the keyword: Dragon's Dowry (does pierce damage but has fire keyword: no damage against fire immune enemies). There are weapons that do the same damage type as the keyword they are tagged with: Kalakoth's Minor Blights for example. For those the keywords are fine because they deal exactly the type of damage they are keyworded with. So no harm done: if the enemy is immune to fire an you attack it with a fire keyworded attack taht also does fire damage everything works as expected - in other words: no damage but no surprise.

So I guess the two most voiced demands are: prolong login time/cookie expiration remove editing time limit What do you think, @SChin? Would that be possible to do? I personally would also love to see BBCode editing mode (raw mode) again. It's much better suited for heavily formatted stuff like the build list for example (which I can't edit anymore... ).

Afaik Decay is a druid-specific keyword and thus shouldn't be on wizard spells. Or are there other wizard spells that use it? @Phenomenum: will write down summary later. Also kind of busy right now.

Correct. Weapon spec has no square background. Also visible in the atlas file. I also think version 2 was the best. The dark line at the top of the square icons may actually be the shadow of the relief-effect of the border.

Cool - for me that did the trick. No matter the resolution: looks fine now.

If I turn resolution to 1280x720 I get teh same issues as @AndreaColombo. With the same icons it seems. Is 2560x1440 your monitor's native resolution, @AndreaColombo?

But I think that is just the shadow of the round mask (which gets highlighted from the top).

Yeah I guess you are right. Because whenever they are in their square form they look perfectly fine.

I think I see a very short 1px-row of black at the top of every icon with a round mask (1920x1080).

Maybe your atlas coordinates are off 1 pixel for a certain row or column?

Indeed!

I did it. Can delete if somebody's not happy with it. Don't make me...

Would just be a teaser. I will mention that it's still in the making. When it's finished I will tweet again with a link to the finished mods.

@Phenomenum: Is it ok if I post the atlas png (all passive icons in one file) on Twitter in order to show it to Josh and Obsidian in general - and also to tease the upcoming Community Patch? I mean I have not many followers - but Josh and others from Obsidian do react to my tweets regularly. If any of them retweets this... @MaxQuest and the others: you would be ok, too?

I can try to convince the others that this should go into the community patch - if it's fixable via mod in the first place.

for Berath for example you could use Death Ring as color inspiration - transition from green to black center or so. Wael could also be quite colorful like Nalpasca - but different. Ancient could be greenish at the bottom an have a gradient to blueish at the top? Fury could have white streaks or so. Stormspeaker cloudy white gradients in the corners. Troubadour needs something like a purple curtain. Berserker: red splatters all that not detailled of course but more abstract.

Actually that is excactly what I am proposing in my PM that I send a minute ago. 😄 Magran etc. also looks great with the more unique bg. 👍

@Phenomenum: Nalpasca has the best background color of them all. 😄 Love it!

I think I looked at the passives of all classes now. There are one or two that might need a little rework (e.g. Psychic Backlash) but the vast majority looks great. Even those I feared would look crappy (like for example Protective Companion and Stalker's Link) turned out good at 42x42. Details via PM.

sure 😄
