Show 'Transform' Skills #95

Open mightyteapot opened 8 months ago

mightyteapot commented 8 months ago

Various skills transform the player and replace the weapon skill bar with other abilities. These skills currently do not get added to the transform skill tooltip, would be a nice feature to have if it's possible.

Notable examples:

Holoforge Any necro shroud Celestial Avatar Firebrand Tomes Rampage Tornado Lich Form etc

Ok, so this might be more involved than expected. I found a reasonable way to detect transformations on skills, but as it turns out transformations are way more complex than just replacing your skills. They also replace all of your armor, weapons and attributes, and since we compute any numeric data for skills on demand we need to take all of that into account on the client side. We wouldn't necessarily need to calculate all of it, since most of the data becomes static, but we don't have any mechanism for baking skills either so its probably going to go the route of creating a synthetic context form the transformation.

All to say, its not as easy as just exposing more related skills on the main one.

Additionally its going to be a nightmare ui wise, same problem as with the engi kits. Having 10+ skills in one cycler is extremely unwieldy, i really need to dine a better solution for those two some day. #5
