Skill Scaling Patch 3.1
About This Mod
Patch Skill Scaling fixes a number of bugs and inconsistencies in the characters' skills, mainly in how they scale with the level and in all gameplay. It is not intended to change the balance of the game according to my personal preferences, but it does make it work as intended (or at least more consistently), which improves some aspects of the balance. This applies most to Phaselock and Ruin (Maya), Light the Fuse (Krieg), Deathtrap, and all Damaging Abilities (Gaige), Sabre Turret, and all Damaging Abilities (Axton), Salvador (Steady as She Goes).
As for the Deathtrap and Sabre Turret, the main problem that this patch solves was actually not present on the console. With the Skill Scaling patch, their damage should be identical to the console damage. And that's very affecting their viability in the final game.
I have also added a few corrections to the balance mismatches caused by the elevation (80+OP10). As well as the additional (balanced) increase of damage from status effects at HMX and OP levels.
Installation and Compatibility
Use BLCMM to install the Skill Scaling Patch patch:
Install BLCMM
In BLCMM > Tools > Setup game files for mods: enable mod support options and any other you may need.
(After the recent UHD update, the previous step will only work on linux. On a PC, you'll have to use a different method of hexedit. Take Hex Multitool Cody. You can also watch, for example, this video. On mac, you'll have to do hexedit manually).
Open SkillScalingPatch.blcm in BLCMM (or use File > Import Single mod if you want to merge it with other mods).
In BLCMM > File > Save as: Select "Open BL2 Binaries Dir" and save it with any name. Due to recent changes in the hotfix system, you may need to check the "Offline" option in BLCMM before saving (does not affect the co-operative).
Run your game. In the menu with New Game, character selection, etc., press "Esc" to go to the main menu.
Open the console (using the key you selected when setting up the game's mod files in BLCMM) and type, for example, "exec SkillScalingPatch.blcm".
Close the console, press to continue, and you're done.
