Hey there, glad to hear this suggestion! I'm already working on that for v2.0, however it's much more complicated than doing it for expcontroller. Planning to add 2 to 4 presets. Hope to release it by week's end :)

If you want to change the health threshold, open the addon zip, go to the superload\mod\class folder and open Player.lua. Navigate to local function lowHealth. In the first if statement condition, change the 4 to a 3 if you want it to stop at 1/3 health, or a 2 if you want it to stop at 1/2.

I definitely had to do this myself as what seems to always happen while using the AI is that it auto stops with me surrounded by enemies, with very low health, and almost everything on cool-down. Sometimes I even am killed before the AI manages to stop.

I'm really glad this was your experience with the community. I frequently list the overall community and in-game chat as one of the best and defining features of the game, and I really believe it. Like any community it has its share of grumpiness and the like but overall it's very willing to help out and friendly to new people willing to learn.

I'm really touched to see myself mentioned here. I really do try to make ToME a better place but it feels weird when someone notices and points it out. <3

Digging the class, but where is the reload talent? Am I missing something?

I haev to rewrite the while display stack to play nice with modern OpenGL so .. no ;) But I'd still like to do it! (and I do work on it now and then on a separate branch)

I did try glshim IIRC but it wasnt perfect.
And the gfx stack do need an update anyway, so if I do it, I should do it well instead of hackishlingly ;)

Any news about ETA? :)

replaying to myself
t5 shields is much better, they have less block value, but since ability itself is lvl5 you are able to spam it faster. now add here temporal shield and eternity's counter and you will get three raw damage reducers.
easily killed overpowered wyrms with such build.

orkz iz so small. i fink itz not fair.

Icebound Fortitude reduces all damage, not just physical. What it does is give you the damage reduction for 3 turns after you use Block (the ability granted by your shield). The Rime bit means it will only work if Rime is sustained though.

And not really an issue, think it works like that for pets in regular game. Your Squire should teleport back if he gets more than 10 tiles away or so, so it's not too exploitable.

Yes, Dusk Shield's tooltip is throwing an error at the moment as it's referring to your shield, rather than the squire's. Rather than changing it in the getMaxAbsorb code, I'd reword the tooltip like so:

    info = function(self, t)
        local block = t.getAbsorb(self, t)
        local chance = t.getChance(self,t)
        local damage = t.getDamage(self, t)
        return ([[Your block ability now grants your summoner a shield absorbing %d%% of your block value, and each time you take damage from an adjacent enemy, there is a %d%% chance to retaliate with a melee attack for %d%% weapon damage as darkness. You get one chance to deal this damage to a particular target each turn.]]):
        format(block*100, chance, damage * 100)
    end

    getAbsorb = function(self, t) 
        return  (70 + math.ceil(self:combatTalentScale(t, 10, 30)))/100
    end,

As for Necrotic Aura, have you disabled all the options for particles and shaders etc? If so it's probably coded to always display unfortunately, would need to add an entry in talents.lua and overwrite the bit that gives the particle effect.

I might take a look at doing that tomorrow as well as fixing the tooltip for Dusk Shield.
