Full bosses have combat achievements associated with them, check out the achievements section in game for more details
The Elf commander summoned using a shining quiver drops a super powered bow, kill elves that spawn in the world to find shining arrows

Basic Mobs:
currently there are 28 new basic mobs:
4 kinds of Tiefling
4 kinds of lizardmen
3 kinds of elves
4 kinds of orcs
3 kinds of ice spider
Ice Crawler
Putrid Spider
Desert Scorpion
Desert Yak
Phase Spider
Living Rock
Nether Stinger
Skeleton Fighter
Skeleton Knight
Watcher (a kind of 1 eye'd beholder)
A few of these are displayed in the pictures in the title area
the more powerful mobs require players to be a certain level for them to spawn, this prevents being bombarded by overpowered mobs in the early game (though the mobs that do spawn are still quite dangerous)
Classes:
There are 9 total classes to choose from 4 early game classes and 5 stronger classes
Classes have passive abilities and active abilities put onto configurable keybinds
Ability keybinds are c,v,b and m my default
Fighter - early game tank class, gains increased max health as you level, passively heals when attacked or attacking and has a healing active on keybind 1
Warrior - is an upgraded version of Fighter
Thief - early game dps class, gains attack damage and speed with levels and has a backwards dash ability to get out of a pinch on keybind 1
Rogue - upgraded version of rogue, unlocks a new ability on keybind 2 that increases your next attacks damage by 8
(limited to 15 armour)
Hunter- ranged dps class, gains increased arrow damage and a three arrow shot abilit on keybind 1
Ranger - upgraded hunter, gains more arrow damage and a jumping arrow shoot ability on keybind 2
Preacher - early game healer class, gains some hearts with level and has a heal ability on keybind 1, if no target is found they will heal themself (use /ally to be able to target others for healing)
Druid - Stronger healer class, doesnt gain extra health but has 1 targeted heal ability on keybind 1 and an AoE heal+absorption ability on keybind 2
both these classes use mana for their abilities, if you spam them too much you'll have to wait for it to recharge
Wizard - This is the newest and most advanced/complicated class
The wizard has 4 spell slots - Basic, Secondary, Advanced, Ultimate.
Open your spell book with the keybind (= by default) and select a slot, then choose a spell. pressing the keybind while holding any spell focus (wands/staffs) for the corresponding spell will now cast that spell
Holding the spell casting focus in the main hand is required for casting spells

0.18 Changelog
Small fix update
Bug Fix - On Hit effects can no longer cause other on hit effects occur (chance based on hit effects rolled off each other, defender value stacking occurred twice when an on hit effect occurred)
Defenders now correctly detect the highest damage on hit effect and apply its stacking formula to this damage
Defenders damage now stacks on top of highest damage on hit effect (in some rare cases where physical damage is highly resisted a magic damage on hit effect may still deal more damage than the defender)
Defender Stacking Formula changed
dealing damage while holding a defender in the off-hand stacks a hidden value based on how much damage the attack does (pre mitigation); when this value exceeds another hidden value based on the armour of the target, deal an amount of bonus damage
[D] = Stacking value from attacks
[A] = static value from armour
Attacks with Iron Defender increases [D] by 30 + (15 x damage) + (15 x {level of precision enchantment}). when [D] exceeds 450 + 60 x armour level deal, 3 bonus damage
Attacks with Diamond Defender increases [D] by 30 + (16 x damage) + (15 x {level of precision enchantment}). when [D] exceeds 430 + 60 x armour level, deal 4 bonus damage
This is overall a nerf, with more impact on the higher damage end (especially vs high armour targets) and little impact on the lower damage end
Beast Fury Armour can now only have up to protection 3 - applying protection 4 will result in you losing the enchant and whatever was used to enchant it
Beast Fury Armour now has a lore line telling you it cannot be enchanted with protection beyond 3
Glad to hear you've been enjoying the new boss fights, I put a lot of work into them trying to make them unique and interactive. often find a lot of combat (outside of pvp) in mods (and minecraft in general) to get a little stale and samey and I'm trying to make sure that's not the case for my mod
If you're having any issues or need any advice for survival in the mod just let me know :)
