The Forsaken - Legacy

Description
This is a Legacy version. Find the newest here:
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3289828533

These are not compatible, so unsub from this one to sub to the new one before you load your save to make sure you don't lose your hero progress.

"Every cause needs a champion. A hero to rally the common men. The Forsaken was that champion. Once a proud warrior of the light, this once holy crusader has been afflicted. Forced to spend the rest of eternity within a rotting corpse, it roams the land it once protected, seeking to end this miserable existence. What is left of its body restricts this shambling horror from quick movements, but provides great resilience to slicing blades."



Introduction
------------------------------------------
The Forsaken is a front-line tank, who relies on his self sustain and synergies with other members of the team. Whether the need is setting up blight for other users (or even himself), crippling a large foe, or waiting for the perfect time to turn the target into a million little bits, The Forsaken comes equipped.

He also comes with a new passive, "Blight Burst". Whenever The Forsaken gets a killing blow with a direct attack, he sends a low blight to all other enemies.

The Forsaken was taken off the workshop a few years ago, and I apologize for that, but he has finally returned. This time he comes packed with familiar but enhanced abilities, new art, sounds, and some new abilities.


Combat Skills
------------------------------------------

Plague Strike

XXOO OOXX
The Forsaken uses his runeblade to smite the enemy, using its necrotic properties to steal life from the target.

Standard melee attack. 10% Lifesteal, Blightburst on kill.

--------

Bloodboil

XXOO OOOX
The Forsaken touches a wounded creature, exploding them so forcefully the flying gore hurts its allies.

Turns the target into viscera.
Can only hit enemies under 25% HP, any higher and it will auto miss.
The explosion will deal low dmg to all still-living enemies.
The killing blow will then trigger a Blight Burst.
(not nearly as effective vs. Large enemies)

--------

Army of the Dead

XOOX OOOX

The Forsaken calls upon the buried dead, reaching up from the ground they stun their targets as well as deal damage.

--------

Necrotic Plague

XOOO OOOO

The Forsaken absorbs the necrotic energy from his runeblade, infecting an enemy with it, and watching as they wither.

Infects the target with a creeping plague, if it hits, it will always blight the target.
For 3 rounds, the infected target will get steadily more sick. Debuffing them further each round.
The other enemies are not safe, as long as the infection lasts, other targets will be assailed with low blight and lesser debuffs.

--------

Empower the Runeblade

OOOO

The Forsaken raises his blade, absorbing the blight from his allies empowers it.

While blighted, the Forsaken will gain Prot %, Healing done, and Blight Chance.
Plague Strike and Death Coil also gain 100% crit chance for the next round.

--------

I've heard this a few times from different sources. I have no idea why it happens other than the game maxes out what its capable of.. Mod limit and all that. I've tinypng'd the images to make them smaller, but I'm not sure what else to do.
TheAwkwardHeady  [author] 5 Jun @ 3:50pm 
Small update.
Army of the Dead now works because its just a simple stun skill
Dmg increased to -40% mod (was -99%%)
now usable from ranks 32, and can hit 123 single target.

Deathcoil dmg increased to 0% mod (was 50%)

Any fix or tips on dealing with white boxes all this class' idle (both in and outside combat) and moving animations ? Idk if that would be a bug with other mods, I think so, but it would be difficult for me to point which because I have a lot of other classes installed and these white boxes happen accross different compositions.

other scenarios these white boxes appeared (both even without a Forsaken on the party):
- sometimes happens on quest conclusion prompt (where u have the option to return to hamlet or continue exploring a dungeon).
- IIRC these white boxes also showed on the Resonant skills and idle animations, but I was able to deal with these simply by switching palettes

@jmp0628 Yeah I have that too, is there a known fix?

There seems to be an issue with the army of the dead ability. The enemy always resists the stun attempts even with 3 corpses consumed. Idk if it is a conflict with different mods or not but the enemy always resists it.

@tonettalorenzo

Known issue due to lack of experience in complicated abilities. will be fixed soontm
