dark471 20 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 If I had any real gripe with this game, it would be the way my girl seraphim has been nerfed. One of the things I liked the best about her was her Rotating Blades of Light (RBOL). My first seraphim was a pure magic character and they were the only thing that kept her from being completely "squishey". Later In the game, RBOL could be modified to become a permanent buff. She was my favorite character, and then along came a patch that eliminated that feature (RBOL modified as a buff). Man, poor seraphim. She was still fun, but she just wasn't the same girl I had come to know and love. And then in Sacred 2, my seraphim no longer even has RBOL. Bummer! Do you think there's a way we can get seraphim her Rotating Blades of Light back? Link to comment
Popular Post Flix 5,116 Posted May 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2019 You know, I found in the scripts where they had designed a Seraphim spell called klingenwirbel or something like that which translates to Blade Whirlwind but it was never even close to being finished. I could probably cook up something that worked properly, the big issue would be what FX to use. There's nothing in the game that really looks like Rotating Blades of Light. There's that spikeshield buff that turtles use. And I could maybe edit the texture of some other generic buff that has stuff spinning around the character (Combat Trance comes to mind) to make it look like the S1 spell. 1 1 Link to comment
dark471 20 Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 That would be really great, Flix! Hell, even the animation of Shadow Warrior's Reflective )what's it called) buff would work, probably. Yeah, and we can turn it into a buff with the last modifaction or something. Too cool if you can do it,. I need to start looking closer at the spells.txt to try and figure it out more. Thanks very much for even considering this! Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I think Frenetic Fervor probably has the most similar FX. Which Seraphim spell would you want it to replace? Link to comment
dark471 20 Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 Yes, you're right about Frenetic Fervor. Looks pretty close to original RBOL. Gotta make a choice on a trade-off spell, huh? OK, how about Instill Belief? Not sure about you, but I seldom if ever use that one. Link to comment
dark471 20 Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 (I tried to edit my other post, but the editor would have no part of it. I wouldn't save) I had to come back to add how impressed I am. When I posted about seraphim , I guess it was more like wishful thinking, you know? I didn't think anyone would take me up on it. I just want you to know that I really appreciate this.

I know there is an editor in place with time limits..if you'd like to edit it and you still cant, I can update your member settings here on the boards. Happy to see that you're enjoying this game so much, and a hearty welcome to Darkmatters! gogo Link to comment
dark471 20 Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 Thanks gogo, but it's all good now - the second post took care of what I wanted to add. Thanks also for the welcome. You know, I've been loitering around here for years, literally - checking out builds and so forth. I guess what got me to finally register was the blank skills, level 75 builds. I mess around with a lot of different builds and sometimes I get one that might make it to Niob, so I keep it until it dies. I'm beginning to think it's not the different builds; any of them would probably be fine , with someone else at the keyboard. At my age, I've learned to not take anything too seriously. Perhaps I need to get a bit more serious with this game, though. he, he Oh well, I'm enjoying my time with it. 1 Link to comment

I just want you to know that I really appreciate this. No problem, you just happened to catch me during an active modding cycle so I've got all the game files open in my spare time. I'll shoot for uploading something by the time this long weekend is done. The upgrade to permanent buff may/may not work, we may have to settle for choosing between either temp or permanent only. 1 Link to comment
dark471 20 Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 Oh maaaaan! This is great! I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. The upgrade via modification would be great, but shoot... I'll be more than happy with whatever you come up with. Maybe something like making it really expensive, skill-wise. Just a thought. 1 Link to comment
Popular Post Flix 5,116 Posted May 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2019 Alright boss, it's ready. Give it a try and if it looks ok I'll upload to our Downloads section. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BVu0E2c8JcejAdlybtnBatm_DgCUz3oa/view?usp=sharing Let's do it by the books and install it using the generic mod enabler as described in the ReadMe file. If you want to be extra careful you can back up your character files first but it shouldn't mess with anything. 1 1 1 Link to comment

Androdion 884 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 It looks awesome indeed, but why six enhancements? I didn't even know that you could have more than the usual three. 1 Link to comment

I didn't even know that you could have more than the usual three. I just used the save editor to add all 6 so I could test all the modifications at once, it was also a convenient way to show all of them in a single screenshot. Standard rules would apply in gameplay: chose one from each pair, for a total of three modifications. 1 Link to comment

gogoblender 3,070 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Flix, RBOL was one of my absolute favorite CA's from the original game... very dramatic, especially in the way that they would rise up from the ground with a huge whooshing and then remaining buzzing sound...unbelievable that you've resurrected them for Sacred 2!! gogo 1 Link to comment
dark471 20 Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Isn't that the truth, gogo. I loved seraphim in Sacred 1, she was my favorite character. Mostly because of those blades. She had other nice CA's too, but when I got that finally mod making RBOL permanent, I was a menace. he,he Flix gave these a longer duration than cooldown, so we can keep them up forever, just remembering to start 'em up again. I'm having a ball with the seraphim I just built - pure magic - Celestial Magic. With Revered Tech for the Warding Energy buff. Maybe I'll take Ranged Weapons later on, just because I like bows, but it would be almost a wasted skill slot, because she needs no extra help. Bows seem to help out with some of the Bosses though. The Kobol chievtain and the Griffan neede help with physical, so yeah. I'll probably want Ranged. Link to comment
dark471 20 Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 Just an update on my magic seraphim. She's level 54 (in Silver) now and hasn't died yet - had a close call with Gar'Coluses - whatever his name is. Thanks to RBOL, she;s a mob killer. he,he Bosses are another story - she's not really strong enough to stand toe to toe with them and my bow isn't doing the job as quickly as I'd like. I think I should have taken pole arms. All told, she's fun to play, but I'm not sure that even RBOL will save her butt in higher levels. Link to comment
