ENJOY!

I am guessing this replaces the Destroyer versus adding an additional class option?

You are right. You can always restore default Destroyer by deleting my mod. I tried to name it as Barbarian and tweak layout files etc, but it didn't work.

[brennok]

No help here unfortunately. I know the person working on the Vampire class got it working at least by their screen shot and also the Necromancer in my sig is set up as a fourth class.

I definitely can't wait to try it out though I may have to hold off till I finish will my current destroyer.

[TomaLexi]

As always, added to the ultimate modlist thread. Tell me if you want a different description.

[NEW CLASS]Gale's Class Overhaul: Destroyer Edition - Berserker
This replaces the destroyer with a new character, the Berserker! New skills, new skill buttons and new balancing.
http://forums.runicgames.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=6946

Oh and how difficult would it be to add another choice in the character selection screen for your berserker? I dont like installing and deinstalling mods all the time for playing in different ways. I love to have the option to decide for stuff ingame. Sry if thats too much to ask. You could always give two versions for dl though if thats somehow manageable.

My class is named Destroyer until i find way to make it show as Barbarian and actually work. Maybe i can get some help from other modders, because it has done before, i'm just slacking.

How about this title:

[CLASS REVAMP] Gale's Class Overhaul: Destroyer Edition
This replaces the Destroyer, New skills, new icons and new balancing.

Changed it to:

[NEW CLASS] Gale's Class Overhaul: Destroyer Edition
This replaces the Destroyer, New skills, new icons and new balancing.

I need to sort these things somehow and thought it best belongs together with the necromancer and the rage destroyer mod as "new classes", since they actually share nothing with their old vanilla version except sometimes the name. I will change that in the future though when re-structuring my thread. Hope you dont mind for the time being.

I need to get this working as separate class (barbarian), but now on let it be REVAMP.

Good job keeping those stickys up to date. Cheers!

Okay , okay I give in. Will change that and be patiently waiting for the separate class

Nice overhaul, quite abit of improvement over old skill trees.

Just a suggestion, some skills are pretty good but aren't terribly too exciting. Maybe you could give those types of talents multiple effects?

For example, lets take Improved Blocking, maybe you could rename it to something like "<insert creative name here!>" and every 2nd or 3rd level you get +1 to defensive magic abilities. Maybe even +0.5% magic find a level, little bonuses that spruce up dull talents but not big enough so that people will just get the talent for the bonuses.

It might make it abit imbalanced but maybe adding little extra to those talents (Without going overboard) might make them less dull. But otherwise great overhaul

Those are good suggestions. I try to make some sense when adding bonuses and skills. Like Treasure hunter doesn't really fit to Berserker. Defensive magic would fit nicely to blocking, i have to think about it.

Thanks for feedback.

It's more revamp than brand new class. Did you double check that you installed into correct place?

It should look something like this:

Very fun mod, Gale. I've been playing it all morning. It's so much more fun to play this class now. I can't wait to see you do with the other classes.

Hehe, i'm not done with even Destroyer yet, still need more balancing and maybe new skills to berserker/titan.

[Gale]

For next version i plan to increase armor value of shields (5-10%), increase damage of polearms (5-10%), little slower and little more reach (range). These changes should make shields and polearms more desirable.

[karmatic]

As I said in the other thread, this is hands-down the best mod I've seen. Well done. I also think you should add this as a separate class to choose rather than replacing the Destroyer
