- Proposal
- Add a kill meter similar to NGEs version which is used for skills such as First Aid, Killing Spree, and Cluster Bomb. This counter increases from 0-50 based off of your damage done and your damage received. This can make Overkill show an Instant use ability instead of a 10 second channel making the ability more useful while currently in combat.
Set the minimum kill meter points to use Overkill Shot at 10/50 and each point past 10 is equal to 2% damage increased on that ability if used.
Example of how this can work.
10/50 = 20% of maximum damage of the total maximum the ability will do.
50/50 = 100% of damage or same as a full 10s channel.
The meter build up will decrease slowly overtime once you’re out of combat so you cannot save it indefinitely.
This will eliminate a 10 second charge time and make the ability more consistently useful in combat.
- Justification
- People who can attack at the GCD will easily out damage this ability within 2-3 attacks. In its current state a 10 second channel time makes this a PvE opener at best and even then by the time its finished you would have done more damage if you just opened with a regular attack.
- Motivation
- I'd like to see commando and all classes in a healthy state that is both rewarding and enjoyable while keeping damage, especially harder hitting abilities from being spammable or in this case not even useable outside an opener or maybe a finisher when you are standing in your short term, long cooldown defensive buff, Stand Fast.
Commando on the current live is very lackluster and leaves a lot to be desired but Commando on the TC is starting to look really good and from my short testing it was an enjoyable and rewarding few hours to play. I am very much looking forward to what they are changing and working on.
I believe a change similar to this can keep all commando abilities useful without overpowering them and creating a OP mess.
