Rantha was sad.  Weird unarmed adventurers were also sad.

razakai needs it for his dumb spider thing.  DUMB SPIDER THING.

We can't expect stuff to be reliably cleansed early game, especially with rares unlocking at level 4.  Players simply don't have many tools at that point.

Fortunately, most disables scale their duration with talent level, so capping that helps keep them lasting 3-4 turns early instead of 6+.  Still kinda obnoxious, but better.

This should also help address how slow the early/mid game is currently.

This has really bad antisynergy with the CD reduction in Aether Avatar otherwise.

Benefitted from a lot of buffs both direct and indirect, most notably Irresistable Sun.  Not actually sure this is a big enough nerf.

Now that you've all enjoyed 32-chambers vault a lot, I will gracefully allow you to get the others back

Changed the greater vault "32-chambers" to only require one exit and replaced diggable walls with doors

Applied a global reduction to the need to escape for tactical AI. This means NPC should be much less likely to teleport away (they can still do)

1.6.2 misc

This at least tames the auto_classes algorithm's intense hunger for broad talent spreads.

Fixes to block callback and archery AI

callbackOnBlock now passes in the blocked parameter, fixes a bug with Annihilator's shield capacitor.
The addition to shoot is so that the mecha knows it can shoot through the player and turrets, makes it a bit less dumb.
Also added archery_pass_friendly to the thoughtform archer so it's less useless.

I really want to know how many melee killed themselves flurrying into this on an NPC.

There are various reports of this being a problematic scaler in 1.6.  I don't see how, beyond it being an insane scaler in general, but its possible a change has been overlooked and its probably better to disable it for now.

One thing that might have changed is the new AI and/or various things not breaking stealth anymore might've made hard hitting abilities actually use the bonus more often.  Dunno.

NPCs with Shadowstrike base get a small crit mult bonus instead.  The rat lobby is strong, and they get to keep the actual talent.  #squeak

Meant to do this forever ago.  Catalepsy can stay as the uncapped death trap, this can stay supplemental :p.

Surge is just too bursty to put on NPCs that synergize well with it

Reduce the scaling of the Archmage resist pen scalers to approach 60% instead of 100% (player TLs are the same)

These have been crazy for way too long and are more relevant now that fixedbosses have more focused talent choices.

Dispel really needs a complete overhaul someday.  But this is fine for today.

THE RIGHT LINE IS LIKE RIGHT ABOVE THIS AHHH

In addition to already having a lot of melee hate the Blighted Summoning buff made the summons very tanky potentially prolonging the fight even more.  Since Blighted Summoning is cool and Spine isn't, it gets to stay.

More focused elements and less sustain spam.

Add a banned_talents field to fixedboss classes that allows you to prevent them from spending points on them (this is not the same as no_npc_use)

Add a max_talent_types property to fixedboss classes that allows you to limit how many categories they unlock, defaulted to 2

Being Frozen will not prevent the application of Wet and Frozen Feet debuffs
If the caster is Frozen when casting Shatter, the ice block is instantly destroyed
