I don't think Arkayn Circle is busted, the way Skyrim combat works (modded or otherwise) if something manages to kill you once it will probably manage to kill you again quickly. It's nice for those rare "oh s#*!" situations but nothing more.
I Ive never felt OP as a follower, the 5% only comes into play when really low. Plus kill moves get your butt at low hp anyway.
It isn't overpowered. The regeneration is "up to 5%" of maximum Health, which means that the rate increases to that 5% at lower Health percentages; the implications being that your character is still likely to die from high damage strikes or a killmove because Health still gets depleted before the full 5% applies. If you feel that way about the abilities then try NOT following Arkay.
Meridia is nerfed far more than it says in the description, at around 150% favor she usually does ~750 damage with Supreme Light, with this installed she does about 45
Edit: It seems to do the proper damage, it's just displaying the wrong number in the active effects menu
I just stumbled across this timely mod as I was re-adding Wintersun to my Requiem loadorder. I'll give it a try. Thanks!
One thing I was curious about is the Morwha healing magnitude. I see that the fruits were tweaked for Survival Mode and such but have there been any thoughts or discussions on the Healing effect while praying? It always seemed pretty overpowered that the PC (and optionally, followers) can go from near death to full health in 5 seconds without the need of items or magic.
Ok, cool. I'm thinking I may go through xEdit myself and see if I can tweak it as well... but figured I'd ask to see if anyone else ever thought the same regarding Morwha since you previously discussed it with other players. I guess not.
Will there be more balance changes I will be trying this next playthrough. I like what I see here was thinking of dumping Wintersun for Pilgrim since my games a bit on the power fantasy side but I'm enjoying the mod a bit too much even though somethings can be toned down a bit
Oh, good one! Going to track this. The Hermaeus Mora activator always has been especially disturbing, lol.
What I wonder... do you think, something could be done about Arkay - maybe as an optional patch or something? Right now worshipping him seems incompatible with Shadow of Skyrim (and idk if maybe other alternative death mods). I hope you don't mind my question. I just thought it might be a good place to ask.
Anyway, thanks for providing this patch! I'll definitely keep it in mind for my next playthrough. :)

My modlists:
Odyssey - A True RPG (Starfield)
Constellations - A True RPG (Skyrim SE)
Path of the Prophet (Enderal SE)
Could you elaborate on that?
I'd be willing to take a look at that.
Devotee - Arkayn Cycle: Revive with full Health upon taking fatal damage. Must pray to use this ability again. Costs 15% favor."
Basically, Arkay makes health potions fairly useless. If you somehow manage to die, you actually live.
I think the regen should be tweaked and maybe not revive at full hp, but half or something at the most.
Anyway interesting mod, will check it's changes.

Could you elaborate on what the issue is and how to reproduce it?

It works very nicely on my current Hermaeus Mora run. Installed your tweaks mid run.
Thanks for your work and for sharing it.

I'll consider making an addon/mod for the arkay ability.
