Everyone here has made some interesting replies to this, but tended to shy away from any possible changes...
and i get that...i really do, change is hard.
but this reply is going to be about possible changes to hasten that will make it more interesting and possibly less/more useful to current builds.
assuming these are possible at all....
auto-power options:
1) stays in pool, needs to be picked. instead of 70% with 15 cost at effect end, its bonus is 35%
2) stays in pool, needs to be picked. instead of 70% with 15 cost at effect end, its bonus is 50% but
has a constant end related downside ie: so much -recovery.
not sure what purpose the base slot would serve 1st case, 2nd case could lower the -recovery debuff partially
also with change it moves to a different slot in the pool
alternate non-auto-power option: stays in pool, instead of 70% with 15 effect end cost, its a toggle and works similarly
to phaseshift 30s on and 30s off and cost is around 1.5/s with a bonus of 50% and CANNOT be slotted for end reduction.
also has a 90s cooldown that can be reduced.
also moved to a different slot in the pool.
feel free to discuss, and have a nice day/night
