About this mod

Buffs the Fire Breath and Frost Breath shouts to maintain a more linear damage to cooldown ratio for higher ranks.

Permissions and credits
Something that has always bothered me with the Fire Breath and Frost Breath shouts is that on higher ranks both shouts suffer from a fairly atrocious falloff in damage compared with the cooldown. This increases base damage slightly for the first ranks of both shouts and greatly for the higher ranks.

One of the reasons I increased damage across the board for these two shouts rather than mess with other values like cooldown is the staggering damage potential of Marked for Death, particularly for physical damage based characters. Previously there was very little point in using the higher ranks at all because you'd get more damage out of using the first rank of each shout on cooldown.


Numbers (damage / cooldown):

Fire Breath: Old
Rank 1 (Yol): 50 / 30s = 1.66...
Rank 2 (Toor): 70 / 50s = 1.4
Rank 3 (Shul): 90 / 100s = 0.9

Fire Breath: New
Rank 1 (Yol): 70 / 30s = 2.33...
Rank 2 (Toor): 120 / 50s = 2.4
Rank 3 (Shul): 240 / 100s = 2.4

---

Frost Breath: Old
Rank 1 (Fo): 10 * 5 / 30s = 1.66...
Rank 2 (Krah): 14 * 5 / 50s = 1.4
Rank 3 (Diin): 18 * 5 / 100s = 0.9

Frost Breath: New
Rank 1 (Fo): 14 * 5 / 30s = 2.33...
Rank 2 (Krah): 24 * 5 / 50s = 2.4
Rank 3 (Diin): 48 * 5 / 100s = 2.4


Compatibility:

This mod should be compatible with pretty much anything. It changes some values in the spells associated with shouts which means it should work with anything that changes shout cooldowns. I've also tested it with the shout passives from Dragonborn and have had no issues.
