The 'life drain' situation, and new ideas for a DPS Celestial SC?

    Celestial's Life Drain SC.

    Since day I don't know if anyone has ever used this SC in a successful load out for DPS (or indeed for heal, but more so for DPS).

    I can't help but feel something needs to change here.

    Either:

    Buff Life Drain to a 10000 SC and make it on par with other similar SC cost hard hitting SCs from other powers.

    Or:

    Get rid of Life Drain altogether and replace with a powerful alternative SC, likely a Cursed animation going with the similar theme.

    For the latter there could be various possibilities:

    Ray from the Heavens: An almighty divine ray surrounds the target/s, dealing heavy damage and an AoE for a period of time. (This could also be an idea for a future orbital strike skin however)

    Diabolic Inferno: The user summons a large skull construct and aims it at the target. Upon hitting the target the skull construct explodes into a dark flame inferno that does damage over time to (and stuns) the target and any nearby targets.

    Vortex of Darkness: The user summons a large tornado of dark energy around the target, and may draw in nearby enemies as well. This stuns and does damage over time.

    Ritual of Divine and Evil: The user draws in energy from light and darkness, boosting their might damage for a limited time. (One hand will have a list golden energy, the other hand engulfed in dark flames)

    First off, cool SC Ideas and awesome names :) However, the only real possible thing i could imagine devs doing is the 10k SC because its easy and cheap. Creating a new SC needs - if even - more resources, and something that does not generate those but eating them isnt interesting for a company nowadays, im afraid. For my own i would really like powerspecific (small) advantages, but only in support roles. For example: Give munitions an AoE defense-debuff with 5Barrel in Troller, thats all. But that will never happen:rolleyes:

    Both of Celestial's Supercharges are quite weak. I pointed this out in another thread. Judging from the response, nobody cares.

    ballistic Assualt is laughing at you right now.
    Many other changes needed first, but lets work on a non broken power and stupid charge first right?..

    Oh OK
