The Bulwark Class Mod

Description
Devotion is a potent stimulant, and for some its effects manifest in barbaric ways. Broad, savage, and inhumanly strong, the Bulwark is a dual mode support/damage hero, who can enter a trance-like bloodthirst to crush and brutalise the enemies found within the dungeon. Though she is typically unwilling to maintain it for long, at times her rage lasts for such lengths her own allies are shaken and in awe of her might.

This is my first mod, and I think it turned out pretty well!

I'll consider it absolutely, feedback is always welcome!
The entire point of the agitated form is that it's supposed to be strong, and that using it is hard to access and comes with other downsides. Chances are that with further changes made, I wouldn't nerf the moves, just reduce the incentive for using the agitated form by introducing further restrictions/downsides.

Any possibility of reducing the DMG mod on Toss? It's a really powerful skill, would be fitting if it was at least use per battle or something if it kept the Neutral Dmg Mod. There's very little incentive to really use her bleed other than set up riposte, throw brick, once in awhile stomp aoe.

@dhdftdhd translations are welcome!

@un manco del montón it was out of my budget when making the mod, I'll add a comic later, absolutely

@道 in that case sounds like I'll have to get in touch with astronomer's creator and see how our mods are interacting so strangely

Un manco del montón 17 Oct @ 12:12pm 
No comic lore?

it works normally on a fresh save and then i checked when i removed the astronomer and it seems he is causing this mod to lose sound effects
S O U P  [author] 17 Oct @ 2:11am 
That's a first, I'll try and see if there's some kind of conflict between the two. In the mean time try deleting the files from your workshop for each mod, then resub to both of them. And to be safe try swapping their order in your modlist.

i have a problem where this mod caused the astronomer to lose sound on skills, i had to reinstall it and only to find out that this mod lacks sound effects even when i tried to do the same

This was the black horse best surprise of my last rune, dude who stands in the front, deletes enemies like nobodys bsns and spams kickass quotes is certainly gonna find a way into my roster again in the future. Way stronger than the OG crew, slightly under Anime girls op tier. Great job, author.
