I’ve been playing with 2 of my characters running various Task Forces, radio missions, and other pickup group arcs (both just recently hit 50, so not really any incarnate content if that matters) testing out the use of Fold Space. For reference one is an Energy Blast Sentinel and the other is a Broadsword Brute.
In most content it seems like I’m not grabbing more than about 5 opponents; in general content there are obstacles that I think cut down on LOS significantly (and since Fold Space is LOS only, that cuts into what can be targeted). Running something like ITF which its wide open spaces and plentiful opponent mobs in the same area, I get more, certainly.
So I have been feeling that Fold Space is kind of weak.
Its *better than nothing* for sure, so I’m keeping it on the 2 characters I’ve got it on.
I had not, until recently, seen gravity control, and its ability to ‘condense’ mobs – on top of one another, into small spaces, etc. – and I was floored at how powerful that was. No comparison with Fold Space, just crazy good.
Now, that’s as it should be for a main power pick vs a pool power, but I do think there’s room to improve Fold Space in some way. I’d love to not have LOS restriction on it, as I think that would open its use more in ‘non-flatland’ content, and with only 100ft I still don’t see it being likely to pull from other rooms.
Its info says it prioritizes closest targets, which is probably standard coded mechanics for AoE power caps, but maybe it could prioritize farthest first, so that if you are already close to a bunch, you can pull more in on top of them? (too powerful an ability?)
Anyone else feel the same or different? Is there some trick to using it other than trying to best center yourself among mobs you want to pull in?
