Earthshaking Strike to Shattered Ground ReDefined

Earthshaking strike now deals a massive blow to the ground, shaking the Earth to its core while opening up a wound where molten lava pours out, burning nearby enemies. You feel slightly lightheaded after using this.

Changes: Increased base damage to a mighty 900% weapon damage per hit (2 as usual), making it a total 1800% weapon damage. Stamina cost increased to a huge 95 with cooldown increased to 32s.

• Shattered Ground upgrade has gotten a bonus damage increase to 50%.
  

Mighty Blow to Easy Target or Stay Down ReDefined

You deal a massive overhead strike, halving enemies in two. This leaves a V-shape in their armor.... or body if they're unlucky.

Changes: Increased base damage to 500% weapon damage. Stamina cost increased to 65. Increased default knockdown duration to 2.5 seconds (from 2). 

• Easy Target reduces stamina cost by 15 as usual, but bonus damage if knocked down reduced from vanilla 300% to 200%. 
• Stay Down bonus knockdown duration increased to 4 seconds, from 3. Mighty Blow by default already knocks the target down now for 2.5 seconds, but with the Stay Down upgrade that increases to a total of 6.5 seconds, which is a pretty long time in combat, and sounds more like .... "Stay Down!"
  

Pommel Strike to Lightning Jab or Staggering Strike ReDefined

You strike a quick blow, catching them offguard. They need to recover from this for a few seconds.

Changes: Reduced base damage to a measly 200% weapon damage, stamina cost decreased to 30 and reduced cooldown by 2 seconds, making it a total 18 seconds. Stun duration remains unchanged. 

• Staggering Strike now gets an increased duration of 4.5 seconds, from 3. 
• Lightning Jab bonus damage reduced to 150%.
  

Whirlwind to Rising Winds ReDefined

You swing your weapon like a crazed beast, trying to catch everyone and everything in its path. The more you spin the crazier you get.

Changes: To make this skill a bit more appealing (and to use it with Vortex of Steel which is really fun), I've increased base damage to 150%, giving it a stamina cost of 20, with a reduced cooldown of 14 seconds.

• Rising Winds each consecutive strike bonus damage increased to 30%. By 3 swings you'll already be doing 90% more damage, so it's something to think about (if you wanna do a sigil of the Great Bear build).
  

That's it for 2H skills, now onto Vanguard and 1H/Shield.

Changes: Default duration increased to 6 seconds (4 is nothing....., really BioWare).

• Battle Roar upgrade gets a 2 second bonus duration increase as well, as well as a 2 meter increase to its range. So +6s and 12m.
  

Payback Strike to Sweet Revenge ReDefined

You pay back the enemy with a Strike from the depths of hell, doing even more damage if they've recently hurt you. This can be used even if you're disabled or knocked down.

It sounds kinda cheesy, but I got nothing else for this skill, ... anyway.

Changes: Damage increased from 200% to 250%, bonus damage from 200% to 250% if recently hurt.

• Bonus damage from 200% to 250% on Sweet Revenge.
  

----

I feel the rest is pretty balanced, and overall, 1H/Shield abilities in comparision to 2H, I feel is pretty balanced... since... well... 2H is 2H and you're supposed to be a mighty warrior, 1H/Shield is more of a jump around tank and be nice and fluffy...

Anyway...

Let me know what you guys think.

Personally I played a version of this mod yesterday, and godamn it was fun. This is how Iron Bull was meant to be played, seriously. :) Not the spammy Devour/Dragon Strike spam-crap.

Installation:
Just download this: www.nexusmods.com/dragonageinquisition/mods/693/?
From that program download the Mod Manager.
Run the mod manager and assign the paths for both the mod folder (directory of .daimod files) and game (where you have the exe file).

Download my mod and place it in the mod folder. Rerun the mod manager and it should be listed in the manager. Then just merge and you're good to go.

Earthshaking Strike to Shattered Ground ReDefined <- Just a mod done by request, for wussies.

Also, a disclaimer. I play on Pandemonium Ultra Difficulty with trials, so that might say something. Incase you got something to say.
