Focused Feedback: Experimentation (Build 1 - 4)

[oedipus_tex]

Interesting updates, thanks for sharing.

 

The only power I think can that has a long-duration +STR effect that includes Defense is the Radial side of the Clarion Destiny tree. I imagine that will be grandfathered in or else adjusted. 

 

For a visual, here's what Destiny Clarion + Power Boost does to my Dark/Time Controller's Defense. Left side is base Defense of the power (2 defense IOs) right side resulting Ranged Defense. His base Ranged Defense is 0.

 

I do hope you plan to keep -ToHit as a Power Boostable effect. The effect is strong too there but IMO fair.

Has there been any adjustments to Experimentation since build 1? I've seen discussion of Jaunt having new recharge values, but I dont recall seeing notes on those changes.

Build 3 increased the recharge and made it immune to global recharge:

"Experimentation gives you access to poisonous ranged attacks as well as powers that boost your attack power and the survivability of your allies. This pool's travel power is Speed of Sound. While active, this power allows you to run at incredible speeds and also gives you access to the Jaunt power. Jaunt allows you to quickly teleport long distances once every so often."

Thank you. I'm surprised that's been the only update/change.
