Futara's Dragon Skills Tiered (Buff)

Description
An addon for Futara's Dragon Race that makes the skills' damage scale with weapon tier damage to make it work better at higher tier planets and with mods like Difficulty+.

You need to re-open the skills menu to update the damage. Also after you upgrade/unlock skills.
The resulting damage depends on which difficulty altering mods you have installed.
I only recommend using this mod if you:
  • Use difficulty changing mods.
  • Use mods that have tier 7 and above content.
  • Want higher damage for vanilla.

The way it works is by multuplying the log base 1.4 of the current skill's damage by level with the games "weaponDamageLevelMultiplier" function using the skill's level.
So yeah, most skills reach level 10, these will be equivalent to tier 10 weapons with high base damage.

Before this, I had Difficulty+ and Borderlands 3 Health bars and max level skills were only capable of fighting like tier 3 enemies.
I spent some time looking how could I buff the damage of the skills, so I could use them without them feeling like a downgrade to normal weapons, this mod is the result.

This does not replace files and should be compatible with any other mod and updates to the base Futara Race mod.

Is also freely uninstallable, just re-open the skills menu to reset the damage changes.

So I underestimated how powerful this would make me early on if I focused a skill. How do I disable it in-game? Is it the Weapon Damage modifier? I disabled that one but my damage hasn't changed.

It pretty much renders all 'advanced' skills not worth acuisition. When slaps do the same dps as energy claws - there is a problem.

Yeah, this mod was in *desperate* need of some damage buffing; I found that all the attacks felt woefully underpowered at max damage even in vanilla difficulty. Definitely appreciate this mod's existence.
