Changing Water Blast more specifically Water Burst.

[Mystoc]

Why is Water Burst the only power in the powerset that consumes tidal power when not at max stacks, this behavior makes it so the power can't be used in any attack chains to reach 3 tidal power. It feels like a very greedy attack when it doesn't give any tidal power but will also consume all tidal power you have as well.

 

personally, I think Water Burst should just consume tidal power only at 3 stacks that way it can be used in attack chains without resetting all tidal power progress. its knockdown ability is RNG anyway if not max stacks so the vast majority of players either desire to use it when at no stacks or max stacks not this unreliable between.

Tidal Power is used to empower Water Burst, Dehydrate, Water Jet and Geyser. You can have up to three stacks of Tidal Power at a time. Using Water Burst at 3 stacks of Tidal Power gives 100% chance at Mag +0.67 to Knockback to all affected targets. Using Water Burst at 2 stacks of Tidal Power gives 70% chance at Mag +0.67 to Knockback to all affected targets. Using Water Burst at 1 stack of Tidal Power gives 45% chance at Mag +0.67 to Knockback to all affected targets. Using Water Burst without any stacks of Tidal Power gives 33% chance at Mag +0.67 to Knockback to all affected targets.
