A "modest" rebalancing of DOS2's Skills.
This is a mod I made for my personal use during my third playthrough of DOS2. It rebalances and improves a lot of the more lackluster skills in the game with simple tweaks to damage, range, AP costs, and cooldowns with a few big mechanical changes here and there. Feedback is appreciated.

Update: I am also in the process of developing a new skill addon for DOS2 with a strong focus on hybrid abilities between ability trees. If you want to see a preview of the 25+ skills I plan on adding, check out this bolded link.
