New summons for the ice mage and magician(1.012)
-------------------------------------------
Ice elemental
Uses the cone spell: Arctic shards
Cold resistance reduction aura
As tough as the fire elemental, but has no thorns aura and does not gain power as it fights.

Mana elemental
Artillery summon, fires repeated arcane blasts quickly.
Power aura, providing additional damage for elemental and pure magic abilities.
Mana regeneration aura, small boost to any players in vicinity.
Poor at melee ranges.

Mod Overview
I haven't been playing Din's for as long as I would've liked to, but I found several class combinations and skills rather under par, my aim is to make a mod to rectify the issue.
This is the collective effort of about a weeks dabbling with Din's Curse.
I hope you enjoy my attempt at making Din's a little more fun and diverse.

You can get the mod either from mediafire or from fileserve links on the final pages of the thread.

What's new
This mod is mainly about skill changes and making certain classes more fun to play; there are no new items or changes to drop rates/exp/difficulty.
I have touched on every skill tree, and there are several new skills but I made no attempt to go overboard, I hope most of these changes fit Din's Curse and don't overpower characters.
There are now many powerful hybrids, each class can more or less stand on its own without sacrificing fun.

The readme with changelog is enclosed in the zip file if you're interested, it is also attached to my post.

Installation
Download assetsadd.zip and place it in your din's curse/assets/ directory alongside the other asset zip files. Play!
Although the mod will work with old characters, skills will be misplaced; I recommend you start new characters.
This mod will not work with the demo of Din's Curse.

Mac:
It has come to my attention that the mac version of Din's Curse operates a bit differently; in the event the ordinary installation method fails, try extracting the assetsadd.zip file into the din's curse/assets/ directory rather than just placing it there. The resulting folders should be something like Din's Curse/assets/database and the readme in Din's Curse/assets/ if performed correctly. To uninstall the mod when you have used this method, delete all subfolders of Din's Curse/assets while leaving the three asset00*.zip files intact.

Demon War installation
Download assetsaddexp.zip and place it in your din curse/expansions/demonwar/assets directory alongside the other asset zip files. Play!
The mod should work fully with existing Demon Hunter characters and their respective skill trees.
Also requires Din's Additionals 1.013 to be installed.

Uninstallation
Remove assetsadd.zip from the assets directory.
Characters that you have made or applied skill changes on while the mod has been installed will have their skill points distributed where ever din feels like placing them, it's possible you may lose skill points on certain skills that were vaporized. Characters that you may have logged on by accident should not be affected.

Final Notes
Some of the changes some of you may not agree with, or some may be critically overpowered, some useless; I'm open to suggestions for the future.
