I changed the necro's poison nova so it shoots orb and deals cold damage, I changed (in skill.txt) Etype, Emin?, Emax?, Elen, and the bonus for skill levels, but when I enter the game I says it deal 16 damage only!!! (in the character screen). But the skill says it does 2500. Why?

What's the hitshift value?

If hitshift is 8, you should get the full damage you have for min, max and per-level.

If hitshift is 7, you will get half the value of what you enter.

If 6, you get one-fourth

If 5, you get one-eighth.

And so on until you get to hitshift of 0, which is 1/256 I think.

I suspect that's your problem. Unless there is something hardcoded to that skill that is messing you up.

By the way, manashift does the same thing to mana cost values as hitshift does to damage.

I changed the hitshift from 4 to 8 but now it says it deals 12500-13000 and in the character screen it says 250-270 (aprox).

If you can't see and the ligth is on, then you'd better open your eyes.

A few skills will drive you nuts when you try to mod the mana or damage values.

Inferno is one of them...it looks like this is another. I think you'll just have to keep tweaking the values until you get what you want in-game.
