Consume Psyche (Psychic Armor) QoL Suggestion

[Bugsydor]

I think the implementation of Consume Psyche in the tank/brute armor set is pretty neat, but there is a pain point for me. I want to set it as an auto-clickie (ctrl+click green circle) so I don't forget about it and accidentally let it drop, but keeping it auto-clicking while out of combat is currently really impractical. Since it has adaptive recharge, it ends up going off every couple seconds and interrupting movement while draining my blue bar to no positive effect. Now, I like the adaptive recharge on it. That and it refreshing all stacks is great. So I have a couple of ideas for how to make this power nicer to auto-clickie:

 

• Make activating it require a living target to be selected
• Make activating it require a valid target to be in-range
• Make activating it not root the player
• Turn it into a very-short-range melee targeted spherical AoE (like Pendulum from Battle Axe)

 

I think doing any combination of the above options would make the power much nicer to use.

 

(Sorry if this is in the wrong part of the forum. I would have posted it to the patch notes discussion, but it looks like I don't have permission to post there?)

This isn’t going to happen because it affects enemies, and powers that affect enemies root.

I don’t know if this is possible or not, but if it is, this is the most likely way it would be implemented.

It's certainly my favorite of my proposals here. I hope it's possible.

 

Good to know about the rule about enemy-affecting powers always rooting the player. I hadn't quite picked up on that yet.

   What, you don't "like" needlessly needing to keep clicking the power to prevent the stacks from dropping, but having to track the remaining buff duration randomly because of the adaptive CD?  Click Buttons is the most "fun" part of the powerset!  Clickem Buttons!
