Tree Generator: Settings per Pseudo Attribute

[xanthics]

Example:

chaining Herald of Ice build:
I want ~200% damage in a combination of area, cold, and elemental. Currently I need to play with various levels of the 3 mods until a tree is generated that I am okay with(to start tweaking) such as 100% elemental, 50% cold, 50% area. It would be nice to create a "mod group" and then say I want 200% damage and then select those 3 types. Ideally multiple mod groups could contain the same root mod, such as "Elemental Damage".

Currently I can fake this by editing SkillTree.txt and replacing "Area Damage" with "Cold Damage" and "(\d+)% increased Elemental Damage" with "$1% increased Cold Damage","$1% increased Lightning Damage". As the build I am playing with also uses Herald of Lightning.

You can do that already. That's what the "Pseudo Attributes" do:

• On "Pseudo Attributes", add "#% increased Cold Damage" with target 200.
• On "Settings", check the tag "Area".

That "works" and is something that I hadn't gotten working before.

However it seems that all the pseudo attributes get the same settings that define what attributes affect them? So EG I am playing herald bomber. I want ~200% cold(ae tagged) and lightning(not ae tagged). The lightning will always end up being a little lower than anticipated because it also counts ae nodes. But at least I can play around that by raising lightning damage goals by the amount of area damage selected.

Yeah, you can't define settings per pseudo attribute. I think the usefulness of that is not worth the time implementing it (would require a complete UI overhaul). Optimizing two skills with different settings at the same time is probably rare.

actually you can do that with custom pseudo-attribute things.

I have something like that for separate attack elemental area of effect and spell critical chance total on my local data that I use.

[BlazesRus]

Edit the Data\PseudoAttributes\ *.xml files to add such things in.

[BlazesRus]

I'll upload my pseudo-attributes data with that and some other customized combinations later on GDrive.

<PseudoAttribute Name="#% increased Cold Elemental Area of Effect Damage" Group="Damage">
	<Attribute Name="#% increased Elemental Damage" />
	<Attribute Name="#% increased Cold Damage" />
	<Attribute Name="#% increased Area Damage" />
</PseudoAttribute>
<PseudoAttribute Name="#% increased Lightning Damage" Group="Damage">
	<Attribute Name="#% increased Elemental Damage" />
	<Attribute Name="#% increased Lightning Damage" />
</PseudoAttribute>

Heres link to my customized stuff.

I've used similar customizing before for CoC builds, where you want(ed) to tag "spell" for spell damage scaling, but the critical strike chance you're most interested in is for attacks only.
