I don’t think that’s the goal. The goal is to leave IH there for those who prefer it, while encouraging most people to take RR.

Similar to Memento Mori, if Soul Transfer will have a 300 second cooldown regardless of mobs, then its effects shouldn't scale down quite so much in smaller encounters.

It DOES seem like if Memento Mori will really only be useable on the 300 second timer, then its effects shouldn't scale quite so much, so they can be a bit stronger with fewer mobs around.

Well, that's Scrapper primaries. A better comparison would be in Armor sets, since that's what we're talking about here. So the comparable powers are really like Ninjitsu>Blinding Powder, which certainly is Range enhanceable, and Sentinel>Bio Armor>Parasitic Leech which is not Range enhanceable. Note that Parasitic Leech is actually far more comparable to Devour Psyche. I'm not sure whether I think it should be Range enhanceable or not, but I would still like to know why these powers are cones on Scrappers and Stalkers, I don't recall seeing any dev explanation of that.

There are, I think, other ranged abilities that are not range enhanceable...not sure what off the top of my head...but there are, aren't there?

This last round of improvements to Psi Armor have helped significantly. My main critique now is that Impose Presence does not "feel" good, compared to other sets taunt aura powers. In other sets the taunt aura has, in addition to taunt, some key element of the sets toolkit, whether its something like Invincibility, a damage aura, or in the case of SR and Regen, just an important part of their basic coverage. Impose Presence doesn't feel that way. Instead it feels like the taunt itself is the most important part of the power, and the other elements are just a bonus. This is because the Defense numbers are low, don't cover AoEs, and the set has no DDR. To put it another way, in other sets you REALLY WANT the power that has the taunt for the other things it offers, and the taunt is either a nice addition, or helps the power to function. Of course you want it for taunt ALSO, but all the other taunt aura powers feel very significant in the kit. In this set you don't really especially need Impose Presence for its buff/debuff qualities. Instead you just feel like you HAVE to take it, because you're a tank. Not sure what the solution is really, but it would be nice to feel like Impose Presence was something really exciting, the same way Invincibility or Against All Odds feel.

Expand the gameplay by using mobs we’ve fought before ad nauseam? How does that make any sense?

Ok that sounds like maybe it was overdone a little.

That’s odd…

Looking good. Gonna mention again, seems odd that Kheldians and Arachnos are being left out of the Heal Resistance cap and Unresistable long recharge heal adjustments.

Nope.

Is MM not giving you a period of Untouchable after you Rez with it? It should. Also, are the mobs not Feared after you use it?

EE has a much shorter cooldown than the other self heals in question. Agree that Kheldians and Arachnos need the heal resist caps. And PBs and Crabs should have unresistable +HP heals.

Okay I understand what you mean now.

Since when does playing with teammates mean you’re useless?

Anyway, Psi Armor… I like it on Sentinels. Plenty tough for my purposes. I haven’t played it yet on Brutes or Tankers. I’ll do that soon I guess.

These things aren’t really an issue unless you’re pushing the numbers of mobs into the “really meant for teams” territory. In which case, well, yea. Pick up immobilize, ranged attacks, confront, whatever. There are plenty of tools available to stalkers and scrappers without taunt auras.

Yea…maybe in a future Presence Pool revamp?

Agree to disagree

I hope you’re not seriously suggesting that article constitutes a critical analysis?

Of course they are, Tanker damage got nerfed. I would be concerned if they WEREN’T slowing slower clear times.

I use the Hybrid Incarnate Taunt Aura on my peacebringer.

Is this feedback based solely on the notes, or actual playtesting?

The ability in question gives its bonuses in exchange for drawing extra attention to yourself. No taunt, no buffs. And the devs have already said they’re not giving Scrappers taunt aura anymore.

Nah. “Stop being so defensive!” ”I’m not!” ”See, you’re doing it again!” It’s nonsense when little children do it, and it’s nonsense here.
