Reputation ranks
Ranks only ever go up; points can drop but your rank stays.
About reputation ranksWhat is it ?
A mod which adds first person animations to attacking, which vary in order to adapt to the type of weapon you attack with (includes sound effects too) ;
This mod also affects certain properties about the weapon depending on the config (with certain mods such as spartan weaponry already in mind), properties such as Sweeping, Potion effects to give to the target or you on certain conditions, Critical hit chance, if it's Onehanded or Twohanded, amount of Knockback, Reach distance and ability to parry.
Finally the last but quite important thing this mod does is delete spam attacking. This means in order to attack you will have to precisely wait for the cooldown to end, instead of having the ability to attack earlier but deal considerably less damage.
What does it offer ?
A greatly configurable mod which by default applies properties and first person animations to melee weapons based on part of their "modid:name" (if it's written as "modid:warhammer_dragonsteel" it will automatically receive the warhammer animations and properties found in the config, which again is configurable). Dual wielding as well as parrying is a possibility and you can very much slaughter enemies with one sword in each hand if you'd like.
It also adds config on shields such as ability to shieldbash (with related configurable damage, knockback and cooldown), as well as configurable amount of shield disabling depending on the type of axe used against a player's shield. You can also tweak some stuff about bows but I have not personally used that part of the config, so I don't really know how useful or interesting this is.
Nausea and Blindness will now affect entities, and a few custom potions effects have been added with the mod. This mod also comes with a few generic enchantments, which are quite basic, but again they can be disabled if you don't want them.
I can't really think of any major cons for this specific mod, as I have not experienced any major performance issue while playin with its latest version at the time, though I would like to point out that since dynamic surroundings also adds sound effects to sword swipes while this mod does too, I would recommend checking dynamic surrounding's in game mod config section in order to avoid having double the sound effects. This mod also does break some mods with the new way melee weapons are handled, for example when put with Atum II you probably will have to remake a whole custom configuration to properly integrate Atum II's artifacts and the potion effects they should apply on hit (and this probably happens with other mods I haven't tried with Immersive Combat too).
In conclusion
This mod really gives each weapon (especially when spartan weaponry is involved) a different feeling through their animations and sounds, as well as little quircks and the fact that all can be easily changed and tweaked adds to the help this mod might give to future modpacks in feeling immersive in their combat. The config file has quite a lot of details on how everything works, and is basically its own tutorial on how to configure the mod and its properties-system.
