LE Melee Rogue, Combat Reflexes/Slow Time Mod

[Death7]

Melee Rogues are little tricky to play in Skyrim. More often that not a melee Rogue ends up being nothing more that opening a fight with 1 stealth kill, then brawling like any other duel welding swords men.

 

The playstyle I would like to try out is a rogue who is able to doge a incoming swing. Then slip behind opponents wile in combat and deliver a deadly through cut from behind. This quick move should be preformed by the player and not a script. There is a reward in skillfully maneuvering in combat. The feel of microing is important. NPCs in skyrim turn and react too fast for this to be practical. A breif on demand slow time would accomplish this. The effect should be very short to emphasize timing and precision. This playstyle is not practical with out a mod.

 

Mod aspects. The mod should apply its effect on activation of sneak. It will should use the slow time effect at the same effect-level of the first word shout. the spell should drop combat for the duration until the player attacks. The time should be adjustable in skyUI from 0.5 seconds to 5 seconds in 0.5 seconds intervals. The spell should cost a % of total stamina that is also adjustable. The spell should not have the shout animation or sound. But the visual effect when in slow time is desired to emphasize the time window of the spell effect.

 

Path of Shadows has this exact effect. But It is compatible with Sky-Re

 

I have tried other time slow mods and the time slow shout. All last too long, have too long of a cool down, and are too strong to allow for the quick reaction fast place combat style I seek. I have also tried the "flash/quick step' mod. But, the teleport effect takes the micro out of the hands of the player. Also it was very overpowered and the lag in the script is too much.

If anyone seeks to make this I, and many others will be very grateful.
