Maniac - Class Mod [W.I.P]

Description
This mod adds a brand new class into the fray - The Maniac! Directly inspired by DD2's take on our beloved classic DD1 flagellant.

The Maniac's abilities are based on DD2 Flagellant's WANDERER PATH. This means that his skills won't have the knockback or disruption effects of the MANIAC PATH, sadly.

This mod is a work in progress so it will be a subject to change. Your feedback is crucial! All comments are welcome!

Things not included in the mod:
- Death miniboss

Things to be added/changed:
- Balancing
- Camping skills
- Immediate Town Event
- String files



Enjoy the mod!

Nice. It would be nice to have a skin that makes flag look like his DD2 counterpart

@Some idoit lol (not rly) I'm glad you share the same sentiment. Would've been odd if the Maniac could be paired with the said classes.

Also I'd like to thank you for pointing out that Maniac's crit buff gives him bleed chance instead of the more logical blight chance. It went under my radar!

This mod is pretty cool and I think the removal of flag and manic or double manic is a good balancing choice

I'll be on the look out for any problems with the 1.2 version. Be sure to report any issues and I'll issue a hotfix ASAP!

1.2 Version Update:
- New affliction: Toxic
- String files (barks, monologue, descriptions)
- Fixed Maniac's crit buff (Now increases blight chance instead of bleed chance)
- Added incompatibility with the following classes: Maniac, Flagellant

Enjoy the mod!

@шизопостинг The seemingly strange choice for a name stems from the fact that the other two alternatives (Scourge, Exanimate) are already taken or soon will be. Given the circumstances, Maniac just happened to be the best choice. I hope you appreciate a little bit of trivia about this mod.

I hope you enjoyed the mod!

>maniac hero
>based on wanderer path, not maniac
Nice mod, but Maniac doesn't look withered enough, it needs couple small changes imo.

His crit bonus is a 20% Bleed bonus

One of the trinkets can be made like this
-50% blight resist +50% blight amount received
When the hero is hit - blight to the enemy 3 damage for 3 turns (140%) chance
a good analogue of riposte will turn out
debuffs can be made even higher
