To actually, you know... affect all channeling spells, not just some of them? Like really, why spells like Mass Detonation and such are still not added, considering those missing spells are not in any way more powerful than other channeling one's, yet those that are overpowered (like Absorb Heat) get included?
Mass Detonation isn't a channel, it has a cast time. They're two different things. A channel is when you're doing damage/healing over the period of time that you're, for want of a better word, "channeling" the ability. Abilities that have a ramp up/cast time where the damage/healing only hits at the end of that cast time isn't a channel.
Still doesn't make sense that some powers are left out and are subjects to interrupts. Simply add cast-time abilities to the list then. It doesn't matter if its a channel or cast time, what matters is this mod leaves some powers unjustifyingly underpowered.
As Jafin pointed out they are different and it does natter. Even when you are interrupted with Mass Detonation the cool down time is over just after you break out. No harm no foul. Inconvenient? Sure.
Except your wrong. The mod is for channels not cast times. They arent the same and dont behave the same. Just be ause tou want them included doesn't mean they should be. What you should be asking for a mod that not called EMPOWERED CHANNELING and instead called empowered cast times lmfao Just sayin
The main point that you dont get, is that I DONT CARE if its supposed to be only for what you consider channeling. From balance standpoint cast-time abilities also should be included, nuff said.
Cast times are not included in the mod (besides the fact that they aren't channeled powers) because Cast Time powers hit hard...the trade-off is that they are interruptible. They will not give you a mod that prevents that, otherwise they would have to nerf those cast time abilities. I know you're thinking that they don't have to do that....but that is exactly what they do.
Cast is where you have to fill the bar to achieve the big hit/heal. Channel is where you are continuously doing smaller hits over time. They are different. Though, I do think that the white mods need an overhaul. They definitely have some outdated elements to them.
It wouldn't. Stop spreading your false opinions and go ACTUALLY TEST POWERS and compare detonation's dps to other powers fire has, you'll discover that it's mediocre and pretty balanced power that doesnt have anything about it to justify it being interruptable.
I don’t get it. You asked why other abilities aren’t covered. Others gave you facts as to why they aren’t covered by the mod. And you give your opinions as to why they should be. But you claim to ignore others false opinions even thou they are facts and base your claims off opinions. You could’ve just given reasons as to why you believe it should be changed. Do actual testing. Post the results proving why you believe what you do. And be open minded.
Fireburst tends to miss if you use it at range and you can get easily interrupted even by non npcs such as random objects touching you like mental TK mechanic or the wind trash from the batcave raid.
Allowing Mass Detonation to not be stopped is like...well, I don't know...spamming rifle in PvP? *shrug*
Wait, did they tighten Mass Detonation's randomness? I got tired of seeing it hit like a feather 99 out of a 100 times.
It seems pretty stable now. When doing bounties/bosses like Doomsday it's a lot more reliable than Fireburst.
