I vaguely remember Wildstar having a solution to this issue.
targeted cones.
Press button
aim cone
let go
cone fires
or something like that.
(please forgive me speaking about another game on these forums)
Like most Vets I have quite a few tweaked out 50's
While gearing up I notice a distinct lack of set bonus'
Specifically for travel powers.
There are many run bonus
I think I've seen a few global travel speed. which would apply to everything
except teleport
I DEMAND (and by demand i mean humbly request with great vigor) parity!
(the previous line was embellished for humor and is not meant to be taken literally)
seriously though, can we get a global range bonus proc or something?
combat without travel power suppression.
that gorilla guild that was popular for a month and then vanished
high level ambush spawns in lower levels wandering around
pre enhancement diversification!
leveling pacts (bring these back)
So i found this nifty glitch. It allows the aura from certain parts of your costume to appear on um other costume parts.
Could we perhaps get the effect added to Auras? so we can go sans the parts? (I don't like the shoulders <shrug>)
Wouldnt a Blaster / Beam Rifle / Ninja Training / Teleport / Psi Mastery
give you most of what you need for a Rikti *cough, clone* err homage character?
I think yanking (herding) foes around might be a little OP since most melee classes have a taunt of some sort.
I could understand a few sets having a "yoink" ability, like gravity or storm, maybe even whips?
Instead maybe reduce foe range even further when taunted might fix the issue?
doesn't taunt already force foes into melee range by disabling their long range attacks?
or is that a different game?
Sorry I'm old and I get mixed up sometimes
wow theres so much to unpack here
Its very hard to suggest something that hasn't been suggested before
I've noticed that most sets have a weakness that requires patching.
For dark and fire its Knockback
for rad its cold
for invuln its psi
elec has toxic weakness iirc
What if.......
we reverted instant healing to its old glory days with 1 caveat.
a very very large endurance cost.
Players could still patch it up but at the cost of slots/powers they would use on other stats.
is this allowed?
i know the comic stuff isn't
but if anime stuff is ok then I'd probably say.........
radiation/MA
Rad gets balls of energy and beams you can recolor to your preference
MA gets a nifty teleport that looks very dragonballish.
iirc to complete that piccolo vibe, the eyebeam power in rad has an alternate animation for finger blasts.
On teams i can see how this set would feel as underperforming
Solo i've personally found it to be fairly strong and only slightly slow due to setup mechanics
but arrows/arrows anything is slower.
One area i have noticed storm/storm suffers greatly is during ambushes.
