Icy Thoughts: Now generates a moderate amount of threat when enemies enter the aura.

Last Words

My first serious attempt at a "real" mod, as I'm a newbie :) And as a newb I would appreciate if you let me know about any issues you encounter.


New Talents:


Blood

Death Strike, Activate

This powerful strike will leech the enemies life into your body, healing you for 50% of damage done. If the target is affected by coagulate it will always be a critical strike.

Coagulation, Activated

Causes your foe's blood to coagulate, hindering the flow of oxygen, stunning it for a moderate amount of time.

Blood Presence, Sustained

Causes nearby enemies' blood to boil; damaging them for as long as the skill is sustained. Damage depends on your strength and the distance between you and the enemy. While active, you gain 10% melee critical rating for 10 seconds after using a blood skill.
This mode drains stamina.

Blood Corruptor, Activated

Forces a portion of your own corrupted blood into your enemy, causing it to erupt in a violent explosion, doing damage to the target and everyone nearby equal to 50% of your total health pool, 25% to allies. You will lose 50% of your own total health pool on use and all of your stamina. Friendly fire possible, possible to die from use.

Winter's Might, Activated

Smashes your enemy with the might of Winter itself, dealing damage based on strength and freezing the target solid for a short amount of time. Generates a high amount of threat.
