@doudley I have an idea to add Secondary Effect to the skill of Heavy Lifting (Engineer). Like temporarily changing the type of weapon.

•   Can use Polearm Weapon with one hand on the right hand when the left hand uses a Shield (Require Shield on Left Hand). Inspired from 2H to 1H Type 01 Mod.

I think if the Polearm can be changed to a different type of weapon for temporarily, I recommend using the attack animation wand type. Because if you use that type, then polearm attack will look like stabbing an opponent rather than using a type of weapon such as a sword, axe & mace, it will look like cutting an opponent.

I don't know whether it will change the way he holds a weapon or not. Because when he uses a weapon type such as a sword, axe & mace the way he holds it's suitable.

Note:
Just use Polearm weapon, because only that weapon looks good when held.

I don't know whether this is a good idea or not, but it seems interesting if it can be done. Especially if the effect only works if we are wearing a Shield on left hand, so that it won't change the game too much & also it can increase attack variation with weapons. For example Shield + Polearm = Phalanx.

The reason why I gave idea to the Engineer class and not to the General passive skill was because, that class very supportive for Shield users rather than the other 3 classes. It also can be its own uniqueness for the class Engineer.

I also wondered, if the shotgun could also be made like that?
Shield + Shotgun = it seems like a good combination.
I'm just afraid of animations that don't support that idea.

I also have the idea of adding the effects of Deep Penetration skills especially the effect that gives a Burst attack to the enemy behind the target. Also other idea (See Attachment for more details)

Maybe for a while to fill in the blanks of 3 skills on Embermage we can use skills from the Bladedancer class, until we find or make a skill that really suits him.

- Flame Armor (Infernal State from Bladedancer)
- Frost Armor (Glacial State from Bladedancer)
- Strom Armor (Dazzling State from Bladedancer)

Maybe need to change the icon to be different from the other icon.

I'll work on "Add effect skill to Passive skill.pdf" and "Need Tier Bonus.pdf" next week.

Also this one

2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30

Test Update Ver 7

There are still some problems with the skill, but before that I congratulated him on finding a skin long hair for female that is in esterian mod.

And I also just realized you have also replaced the attack animation from ENGULFING FLAME BOT with an attack animation from FIRE EATER skill from Double Agent class (Variant class), it's so cool. 

Can you also replace the attack animation from ARTILLERY with an attack animation from CANNON BALL skills from the Dread Pirate class (Variant class)?
 

Problems:

Spoiler: General (hover to show)

- Skin Stone No 30 in Male has not been removed (All classes)
- Hair Color 28-42 makes hair & accessories white (Male & Female)
- Hair color for Female still missing some unique color. Therefore, Female hair color will be have more than Male. But if this color can be added also to Male, it will definitely be good.

Spoiler: Embermage (hover to show)

- Skill Flame, Frost, Strom Bound don't work properly. The skill can be used simultaneously.

Spoiler: Berserker (hover to show)

- Asura's skill doesn't work properly. The the player does not disappear in the dark, it is not like the original skill in the Bladedancer class. And also at the end of the skill there should be a laugh.
- Tempest skills don't work properly. Skill does not shoot Lightning from the sky like the original skill that is in the Bladedancer class. Only the sky is looks cloudy.
- The Thunder Strike skill doesn't work properly. Skill on tier 3 which effects can attack with Lightning Storm does not damage at all enemies.
- Bloodlust's skill doesn't work properly. The player cannot eat the corpse of the enemy. Also The Blood Lust skill name hasn't been changed to Bloodlust

Spoiler: Outlander (hover to show)

Note:

More or less the problem is only in the Animation / Texture skill

- The Pool of Death skill doesn't work properly. The animation of the skill texture looks strange.
- The Spirit of Death skill doesn't work properly. The animation / texture of the Spirit is not seen possessed the opponent.
- Skill Root of Death does not work properly. Animations / textures from Root to attack enemies are not called / seen.
- Root of Life skills don't work properly. Animation / textures from Root to eat the bodies of enemy enemies is not called / seen.

I also found that good skills were more or less like Tempest skills, namely Sword Rain from Double Agent skill. Only different in the duration of the skill to work.

At Tempest, the skill duration works 25 seconds. Then during that lightning will hit 1 opponent and cause damage area. While Sword Rain, skill duration works 1 second (Per cast). But the sword will hit all opponents around within a certain distance.

Sword Rain also looks like a skill combined with skill Sword & Elemental Magic skill. It's also suitable for Berserker who use weapons as the main ones compared to Elemental magic as sub skills unlike Embermage which focuses on magic.

Which do you think is better?
I just thought, could Sword Rain be made to have a duration like Tempest skill?

Yeah, I encoded each wardrobe feature from scratch and did not rely on other / original modder's coding. All additional wardrobe features have my own unique ID taggings.

Btw, I thought you understood that the hair color codes uses the same file for both male and female. That is why they have an equal total count. Skins and Hair Styles use different files for male and female.

The #28-42 hair color, yeah, I forgot to include the dds files.

Skin Stone, I'm hoping it could still be fixed, I though, it is just an encode error that causes the graphical bug but maybe it is a texture issue. I'll try darkening them and if it stills bugs out then it really needs to be removed.

Asura skill, doesn't seem to have the laughing sound you mentioned. The data doesn't seem to be missing anything.

Same with Thunder Strike, can't seem to find any missing data.

8.) Ember Mage Toggle Skills

@Sch123 I think I can fix ember mage toggle skills and I already have some ideas to make those skills more interesting. Maybe you can give justification on why we should replace blade's into mongol archer's skills?
