Fold Space Dilemma

[Fingernailgun]

You are on a generic team. You are a nobody with [Fold Space].

 

A tank runs ahead of the team, grabs the attention of a  room, and hides behind a corner to bunch them up. A blaster drops blizzard in the room, affecting half of the enemies, separating them from the rest. A mastermind drops caltrops at the feet of the tanker, causing the few that follow to the corner to slowly scatter.

 

Where do you stand to use fold space?

[biostem]

It's like the trolley problem, only with super powers!

[ZekeStenzland]

Next to the blaster, outside the effect of any of the aoes. I assume this is some kind of pvp exercise where everyone is just competing to see how much they can screw over all the other people on the team. 
 

Too bad the caltrops weren’t tossed into the arctic air. The slow and fear (and damage) effects would all stack.

I use Fold Space solely to bring in TPN technicians with the rest of the group during TPN Trials, and to bring in exploding Brickernauts during hard mode Dr. Aeon SFs for hugs.

○  Nowhere, because this isn't me because I never take Fold Space.  I find it much more fun to TP myself into their faces!

You teleport into the blizzard and immediately before you use a pbaoe, a gravity controller teleports everything into a wall where the only thing waiting is singularity. You hit nothing. You spend so long finding where everything went your powers are recharged for the next spawn. 

 

Try again.

I quit a team with such selfish players.  I find these few and far between, thankfully.

Best answer is, let the tank know you have Fold Space and intend to follow him around and use on new spawn areas. You use fold space, he taunts when enemies appear, at that point he should be able to keep aggro for the short time it takes to kill the close spawn. The Bosses and AV's won't be teleported by fold space, but they will come running anyway. To be clear though, Fold Space is such a great power for a tank I take it on all my tanks, solo or group oriented. It is probably the best power available to a Tank that can survive the aggro.

360 and walk away from a herding tank

[Snarky]

I am hoping to get confused by the enemy. Then i can fold space and nuke my team….

[MoonSheep]

i choose option e) drop bonfire then cast my AoE immob

[arcane]

Wherever I want because it’s my power and I know how to use it

[Grouchybeast]

My blaster nukes, dies, and uses Rise of the Phoenix.

 

(I find it easier to have one answer for all tactical questions.)

[Andreah]

I use my best judgment to pile mobs onto the team's current point of focus. If there is no such focus, I try to use it to create one. Sometimes that means I'm stealing mobs away from the tanker/fetcher if their placing is bad (which also means their distant aggro'd mobs might run to them now); and sometimes it means I'm taking them off squishies who've placed their ground patches in a poor location. Rarer times, I move ahead and try to set up a new focus from the next sets of spawns and hope people see it for what it is and reset their tactics. And ... sometimes it means I throw my hands up in despair and politely leave the team.

This isn't quite authentic PuG chaos without a Stormie pushing enemies away from the tank or three controllers AoE gluing mobs to the floor in three separate corners of this room.

 

But other than that yeah... it looks like a Thursday.

So many people refuse to play the game of this thread - i.e. answer the OP's hypothetical question - yet they still feel that they should post a (non-relevant) reply in the thread. Guys, you are entitled to have an opinion on Fold Space and to post about it, but please do so in a thread that invites open-ended discussion, not a thread that is focused on a specific, hypothetical question. 

If you think the question in the OP was silly, then simply ignore the thread.

 

Sorry if that sounds harsh, but this is a pet peeve of mine.

Okay okay, serious face then!

 

I voted "Nerf procs" and I am deadly deadly serious about it.

Well, of course. That's a relevant reply no matter what the thread is about. Even *I* know that.

If I knew how to find meme GIF's, this is the point where I would post a GIF of Alex Baldwin's "this is my serious face" from Team America: World Police.

On my Warshade my answer is "close to the Tank", although if it's a herding Tank chances are I'll leave after one mission anyway cos that bores me. But the Tank is the handiest focal spot usually. So close to the corner so I can try and snag some into the Blizzard anyway, but since the follow-up is a mired Quasar it probably won't matter too much. 

 

I once had a Brute ragequit a team without warning because of Fold Space (or whatever the WS version is called). In my defence they never said they were Willpower and needed hugs to live. I'm used to Brutes basically being scrapperlocked 24/7 so I was just doing the usual yoink and explode manoeuvre.

On the tank or right next to where he’s going. 
 

Maybe a Macro warning the team right before you fold space. 
Or go for consistency and macro a fold space on “target” warning. Presumably on the tank
