Fold Space

[KC4800]

Does this power WAI? I have a traps corruptor that took it. I set up a trap zone and try to Fold Space a small group of mobs into it and it never pulls anyone. What a dud power.

Do I need 3 acc to make it reliable?

Did you have line of sight to the targets? Were you within 100 feet of the targets?

 

It does do a hit check, so accuracy would be desired (keep in mind, combat teleport grants a To-Hit-Buff if you need help boosting your hit chances.

It's pbaoe. You don't target things. In fact, you don't need anything targeted at all for it to grab folks in range/in view.

OK so where TP Foe used to be able to stand around a corner out of sight and tp one foe to you, now its line of sight, and within 100 ft It will fire all every time even if nothing is within 100 ft. (No out of range warnings)

 

ok got it.

 

Not so sure this power is for me. The old TP Foe was much better, IMO.

The old TP Foe is rolled into "Teleport Target". It is basically recall friend and tp foe combined.

The 'teleport target' power has this functionality. You can use it on friends and foes alike.

Yeah I know. I just assumed that Fold Space had the same functionality when used on a single target.

 

My character is a Traps Corruptor. I was thinking I could set up a Trap area out of sight, then TP the entire group into it. I can still do this, but only in a big room. Stealthily, but maintaining line of sight. Far enough away that Acid Trap wont fire, but within 100 ft. See? It'll work. Yeah I'll keep telling myself that.

You could roll up a grav/traps controller. Wormhole is the power you seek.

It may not be for you.  But I have teamed with several stone tankers yesterday who loved it.  They can tp to their foes or just have all of their foes tp to them.

That's what I am coming to realize. Fold Space is ideally suited for a melee character, like a tank, scrapper or brute. Less so for a squishy corruptor.

This.

I'm using it nicely on a Robots/EA MM, to group mobs up for the AssBot's Towering Inferno of Burnination. And to bunch them tightly so that I can use Electric Field's small 10' radius to Immobilize them in the flames. But the character is built to take aggro and has Provoke, so I don't have a need to use it out of LOS.

 

While other characters may have a use for it, the character has to be able to take an Alpha. Or, for example, an Earth/Storm who sets up a killing field, then opens with Stalagmites and then Folds the mobs into the area of doom rather than wasting time bringing up Tornado, LS, and FR AFTER throwing Stalagmites. So if you can avoid the aggro with a ranged AoE mez, that can also work.
