⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge time-saver for party buffing—no more casting Longstrider on each character individually.
- Community-approved with over 1,000 endorsements and 32k downloads, so it's proven popular.
- Optional VFX removal is a nice touch for players who find the status effect visuals distracting.
👎 Cons
- Only affects Longstrider—if you want similar AoE for other buffs, you'll need other mods.
- The AoE is centered on the caster, so you need to position your party close together to hit everyone.
- Last updated in August 2023—may not be compatible with the latest game patches, so check for updates.
