About this mod
This mod rebalances the majority of +3 and unique talismans in Elden
Welcome to Dark Souls 2 Talismans
Updated to Elden Patch 1.16
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
-----------------
Many talismans have been buffed/reworked for more build variety; including pots, perfumes and bows/crossbows.
Additionally, you can run unique builds at the detriment of not being an all-rounder.
If you have ideas for new changes or balancing let me know in the comments.
I will continue to update the mod based on feedback and additional testing.
FAQ: Feeling like the Talismans are too strong?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is designed for post Mountaintops of the Giants and into NG+'s. If you feel anything is too strong, test it on a NG+ character. I haven't changed any of the +0 or +1 talismans for early-mid game balance, so you can use a mix of those with the rebalanced talismans for your NG playthrough.
NOTE: All changes to Talismans now show in item descriptions.
Please see the Word Document attached or below for a list of all changes.
OTHER MAJOR CHANGES:
All seals are strongest when using their unique incantations - currently balancing DLC seals.
Scarab helms and physick tears no longer have any effect due to talisman changes.
Some endgame spells cost more FP and require more stats but are much stronger.
Maximum health is now 2600 due to the very high scaling endgame and to allow characters to have a higher reward when grinding to 99 Vigor.
Mimic Tear summons 2 of you and costs 2000 HP/300 FP. Recommended if you want to simply have fun in a fight.
Pots, Aromatics, Healing Stones, and dragonflesh are not consumed upon use.
