About this mod
This mod is a rework of the melee perks from the excellent Ordinator mod by EnaiSiaion for greater compatibility with ADXP/MCO, SkySA and other brilliant combat mods, which unfortunately do not make use of directional power attacks and attack speed buffs.

With the release of new combat mods that make changes to the way power attacks work, there is a need to tweak the one-handed and two-handed perk trees from the excellent Ordinator - Perks of Skyrim mod by EnaiSiaion related to directional power attacks.
All credits to them for the amazing work! There's no way I'd consider removing it from my game... so I had to make some modifications in order to have them.
There are a few alternatives to this mod, feel free to check them out!
Ordinator directional perks for Skysa and AMR by dTry by dTry
The only caveat would be that this one replaces the entire ordinator esp, which could potentially cause some issues with updates or other mods... So I decided to make my own version as an esp (flagged esl) that only modifies few records from Ordinator.
Ordinator Patch for Skysa - MCO - Combo Perks by PJustinD
Another approach based on Scrambled Bugs' "Perk Entry Points: Apply Multiple Spells" which I wanted to stay away from, not fully having analysed the effect it would have on other perks from Ordinator or other mods in my modlist (it could have only a minor impact/no impact at all, I just have not checked)
Scrambled Bugs could be a GREAT improvement on how perks work however!!! (see sticky post)
I made a few versions:
- a full rework, changing perk effects and replacing some with new ones and capitalizing on attack combos where suitable
- a simple bypass (with minor tweaking of a couple perks), mainly reliant on hiding the perks from the perk trees
- one overpowered version with directional power attacks applying to all power attacks
MAIN VERSION
This version is a full rework of both the One-Handed and Two-Handed perks. This version tries not changing the perk tree much, instead altering the perks themselves for more balance, and a focus on power attack combos. Of course, since I replaced some perks with new ones, the tree was slighlty altered.
Below are the changes.
Master Combat Spells
Skyrim has a big issue when it comes to perk effects (Combat Spells): only one combat spell can be applied for any one hit. That means that if you have 2 perks that apply combat spells on the same hit, only one of them would actually be applied. This is an issue that Scrambled Bugs' "Perk Entry Points: Apply Multiple Spells" tweak fixes, but I decided not to have that as a dependency.
So, being stuck with the base system from skyrim I decided it would be easier to change how Ordinator applies combat spells (a series of complex intertwined combat spells covering all interactions between different perk effects) and create "Master Combat Spells".
For every melee weapon type, the different intertwined Combat Spells applied on perks have been regrouped in a single "Master Spell", which are applied on the base perk for the weapon type (e.g. Clash Of Champions for swords), with proper conditions so that they are not sent when they should not.
There is one for normal attacks, and one for power attacks for each weapon type.

Regarding Attack Speed perks, I have simply bypassed them for the time being. I will rework them and think ofnew perks relying on normal attack combos!
COMBAT SPELL LAUNCHER (Optional Add-On to the Main Version)
With my modlist, I noticed an issue with Greatswords power attacks... It appears that the conditions for what the game considers a power attack were not met when doing a power attack, and as such the perks relying on power attacks were not applied. After investigating a lot, it appears that there is an issue there that I managed to circumvent by basically using a script to apply the "combat spells" (perk effects) ON the power attack hit itself.
As to why this is happening, I believe it may be due to a weird interaction of Precision's real hit frames and the slower animations. But nothing concrete there.
These are my current combat mods:
- ADXP|MCO
- Precision
- SCAR
- DMCO
- Valhalla Combat
- POISE
- ADXP I MCO elden rim moveset collection (SCAR)
- Elden Power Attack (added while testing)
Please feel free to test on your own setup, see if you notice the same issue on your end. Should you have it, this optional solution sho
So here are the features:
- Power Attack Combat spells (Master Spells) are no longer applied on the main perk of each weapon, but directly by the script
- Can apply to multiple enemies at once (if you swing and hit multiple enemies, it will be apply to all enemies hit).
- I have left it separate and optional as you may not be affected by this issue

ATTACK SPEED FIXES
At the suggestion of freddfx (thanks for the help figuring out some of the technical aspects!) I have also added the option to handle all perks related to attack speed as well.
This is due to the fact that ADXP|MCO ignores attack speed so all of those perks are quite useless when using that mod.
Here are the changes:
I also reorganised the perk trees a little bit for the one handed tree/balanced version as a result:
Here is what the perk tree looks like now!
With those changes to the Balanced version, more specifically the removal of the Subjugate perk (which allows to hit all enemies in front of you) in favour of Humiliate, I cannot recommend enough the excellent Precision - Accurate Melee Collisions.

This is due to the fact that ADXP|MCO ignores attack speed so all of those perks are quite useless when using that mod.
Here are the changes:
- 1H: Man O'War - changed the perk effect, removed the attack speed buff (as it would simply be ignored regardless)
- 1H: Aftershock - removed from the tree (not from the mod, I simply did not display it)
- 2H: Subjugate (OP version only) - I could not remove that one without having an imbalance between greatsword and the other 2 branches. I may make an entirely new perk in the future
- 2H: Massacre - removed from the tree (not from the mod, I simply did not display it)
- 2H: Enter the Arena - removed from the tree (not from the mod, I simply did not display it)
- 2H: Voice of Rage and Ruin - only changed the previous perk in the tree
I also reorganised the perk trees a little bit for the one handed tree/balanced version as a result:
- Furious strength: now linked to Disciplined Fighter, required 1H skill 40 -> 50
- Overrun: required 1H skill 50 -> 80
- Thundering Blow: only depends on the basic One-Handed Mastery perk now (skill requirement unchanged) and placed it in the middle
Here is what the perk tree looks like now!
With those changes to the Balanced version, more specifically the removal of the Subjugate perk (which allows to hit all enemies in front of you) in favour of Humiliate, I cannot recommend enough the excellent Precision - Accurate Melee Collisions.
There should not be any issue mid-game as I did not remove any of the perks.
However, I do suggest crafting and using a Scroll of Legend (see Ordinator) to reset your perks or simply doing that manually with the console before activating the mod. The reason why is that the perks I removed or replaced with new ones are still there (just hidden from view) so you may see their effect ingame still...
1. Remove all perks (Scroll of Legend or manual removing via console)
2. Install the mod with a mod manager. I included a fomod for convenience with the Balanced/Overpowered version.
Or if you don't use one (bad practice!) place the files you want manually in the Skyrim/Data folder.
UNINSTALLATION
Overpowered/Bypass versions: Should be safe to uninstall mid-game but one never knows!
Main version: There is some very light and clean scripting involved and as such I cannot recommend doing that mid-save even though it shouldn't pose an issue.
J3 Combat Spell Launcher: If you installed the optional J3 Combat Spell Launcher, please type in the console:
set J3_KillSwitch to 1
Then wait 5-10 seconds, save & uninstall. This way, everything should be turned off cleanly, and leave no trace on your save if you uninstall. No guarantee though!
Should be quite compatible with all your ordinator-related mods except those that do the same thing.
Incompatible with the main version: mods that add/distribute the perks to NPCs such as this one. This is because I added conditions for the Master Spells relying on the player having the perks. Ordinator has separate perks for NPCs already and I did not touch those at all! I suggest you keep those ;)
- Alter the attack speed perks to instead capitalize on normal attack combos
- Look into stagger mechanics (thanks dydd90 for the suggestion) which may not apply with POISE/Valhalla Combat
- Check for Scrambled Bugs compatibility with Ordinator (maybe create a new mod for that, which I could add as a dependency in a later iteration)
