Epic Mod 4.92 (8/4/13)

Cow Level

• Cow health reduced by 25-30% HP in all difficulties
• On death spells removed

Misc Monsters

• Overseer type monsters on death removed (was meteor)

 Sorc

• 100 extra base mana cost on Blizzard and Meteor since those two ablities had a pretty significant cast delay
• Blizzard 50 -> 150
• Meteor 100 -> 200

 Necro

• Teeth mana cost reduced from 3 per lvl to 2 per lvl

Epic Mod 4.91b (7/3/13)

Sorc

• Blaze:
• Duration increased (tooltip refers to on the ground fire lasting I believe)
• Damage x2
• Mana cost increased

• Fire Wall:
• Damage x2
• Mana cost increased by 25
  

Epic Mod 4.90b (7/1/13)

Sorc

• Thunderstorm damage increased by about 50%

Runes

• Had decreased their item level to test them out when I buffed them

Epic Mod 4.89 (6/30/13)
Sorc Redone

Sorc damage buffs are only in synergies to keep it a buff to only Sorc's

• Fire Bolt no longer costs any mana
• This should help a beginning sorc with no gear be able to do something other than melee
• Frost Nova synergy damage doubled
• Fireball synergy damage buffed from 4% to 6%
• Lightning synergy damage doubled 
• Lightning mana cost doubled
• Chain Lightning synergy damage buffed from 2% to 10% (x5!)
• Chain Lightning mana cost x4!
• Firewall delay removed!
• Mana cost doubled
• Meteor delay removed!
• Mana cost doubled

• Blizzard delay removed!
• Mana cost doubled
• Hyrda delay removed! (was hardly anything)
• Mana cost increased slightly
• Frozen Orb delay removed!
• Mana cost doubled

I realize there is still no easy way to get back mana as a sorc besides Warmth, mana on kill, etc.  Not sure if there is anything I want to do about that or not. But I thought the delay on most of the skills were just wait times, now, you just end up waiting for your mana to come back, which improves with gear (wait times do not).



Epic Mod 4.88 (6/19/13)

Hirelings

• Barbarians buffed
• Low Level Battle Orders and Battle Command added to the Barbarian Hireling to make them more competitive to the other hirelings

Epic Mod 4.87 (6/19/13)

Damage on Items

• DMG property changed to DMG-NORM for all unique, set and runeword items
• this will not change the actual damage bonus of the item for characters
• THE ONLY EFFECT OF THIS CHANGE IS FOR HIRELINGS
• hirelings do not benefit from the dmg property (I was accidentally using this property more than blizzard ever did) but do benefit from dmg-norm

 
Epic Mod 4.86 (6/18/13)

Epic Mod 4.85b (6/15/13)

Misc Tweaks

In Town

End Game Gear

• Items should be a significant buff to warrant their degree of difficulty

• These two changes should work but need to be tested

• You can still find Quill Bears there
• Act 1 has been toned in area levels in Hell so that no place in act 1 except for the Moo Moo farm is maxed at 85

Farming in Hell is still possible, but later acts will provide more reward.  Should help make it so one spot isn't the be all farm spot.

Druid Fire Elemental Overhaul

• Firestorm & Fissure now give mana on casting!

Epic Mod 4.75 (6/1/13)

• Damage reduced by 1/2 while synergy doubled

• Should make skill interesting while not making it overpowered late game

• Charged Bolt Sentry:
• Damage doubled to keep in line with Wake of Fire Sentry that was buffed a long time ago in Epic Mod

• Damage increased by 8x to more closely match Lightning Sentry

Epic Mod 4.44 (8/19/12)

General

• All melee skills have had their on hit and hit per level increased if they were low (100 base, 25 per lvl)
• This should help melee land hits more frequently without getting a ton of Dex or Attack Rating gear 

• Hirelings:
• Act 3 Conviction aura changed from a scaled Conviction, ended up around lvl 10-11 at very high level merc (without +skill gear), to a flat Conviction lvl 3 so that +skills on an Act 3 merc is vital for a decent Conviction aura (and makes Infinity that much better)   
• Act 5 War Cry chance reduced from 15% to 10%, level of War Cry scaling reduced so that Barb cannot stun lock everything as easily, still should be best tank, just not best by a mile hopefully

• All Paladin auras except for Holy Fire/Shock/Freeze, Vigor (was already increased awhile ago), Sanctuary, Conviction  base aura range doubled and radius per level increased from 2 to 3
• Fanatacism increased much more to match other Paladin normal auras, this might have some unintended consequences of making Quill Bear fanat much wider range
• Sacrifice changed to be slightly more interesting (100% dmg per lvl), synergies reduced to 1%, Damage to Self increased to 10%
• Holy Fire buffed by 40% to encourage its use in parity with Holy Shock, Holy Shock still does more damage (about 20% on average) but highly variable
• Holy Freeze damage increased to be half the damage of Holy Fire to encourage use
• Fend damage doubled and attack rating bonus x10 (in line with Impale)
• Charged Strike damage nerfed by a factor of 5 (should be in somewhat of a good range hopefully)

• 4.34 Amazon: Lots of Javelin skills buffed (the crappier ones) and Fire Arrow no longer has a delay

 The only difference between Hardcore and Softcore mode is Gheed's Grand Charm.  The Gheed's in Hardcore mode is much better to help the player survive and be able to magic find and gold find much easier.



Epic Mod Hardcore 4.30 (8/13/12)

General

• Rare Grand Charms now can give +skills
• Mid level unique armor and weapons slightly buffed
• Experience on death penalty increased to 200% (not sure what any % over 100% will do, I'm guessing you cannot lose a level from death, of course this only matters on softcore) 
• Mercenaries always do 25% dmg to bosses (was higher in normal and nightmare)
• Mana per Energy buffed x2 for Sorc, Druid, Necro, Pally
• Constricting Ring should now reduce Vitality by 25 instead of all stats by 25

General

• Rainbow Facets slightly buffed
• Annihilus buffed (+2 skills among other stat buffs, variance taken out)
• Hellfire Torch slightly buffed (removed variance)

Epic Mod Hardcore 4.24 (8/2/12)

General

• Necromancer: Revive skill description now says 3 revives instead of 1

Epic Mod Hardcore 4.23 (8/1/12)

• 1-150% Magic Find, Magic Find per Level and 1-400% Gold Find
