Alternate flame bolt skill for Artificer that scales with attack speed.

About this mod Author’s original text

Fast Arti Bolts

A variant of Artificer's Flame Bolts, reworked to scale with attack speed (like Merc's and Commando's R's)

Overview:

  • You start out shooting two firebolts with each use
  • Firebolt damage and proc coefficient are lowered
  • The more attack speed you have, the more fast firebolts you'll shoot
  • Attack speed no longer increases the speed of the attack animation

Notes:

  • Starting out, the two fastbolts combined will have the same damage output as the one vanilla firebolt
  • If you have high enough attack speed and you're shooting firebolts faster than the framerate, multiple will spawn on each frame.
  • Idea half stolen from KNot Devourer of Worlds on the modding discord, who proposed to have firebolt damage scale with attack speed

Ping me (TheTimesweeper#5727) on the ror2 modding discord or the enforcer discord ( if you have any horrible crashes or other issues I didn't catch. I'd love to hear feedback on how it works/feels.

Things I'd like to do:

  • skills++ support since the changes should be the same
  • plasma bolt version maybes where consecutive fast plasma bolts increase in radius
  • properly graph out its damage over time and how attack speed increase affects damage and procs to really balance it

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
