Give self destruct a break free option

I don't see any negative point to not? Most people use it for debt protection anyway seeing as you have to pop some yellows in order for the attacks to land.

I'd much rather have the Cyborg pack [Self-Destruct] have a more explosive base accuracy. It currently explodes at 1.0x, while most explosive nuke powers exist with 1.4x accuracy, and enhanceable.

Accuracy is perhaps the most important part of an attack, even more than damage, recharge and endurance cost.

Well besides acc I'm talking about giving it a break free effect. Just like when your a PB and you transform. It breaks you free form a status effect. I hate being a troller and getting held helpless not being able to prevent debt

here we go again with this topic. as a controller, you have the ability to take out the enemies that give you problems before they become a problem. if by chance you miss, you can use a break free and if you don't have one you can make one out of 3 of the same insps.

if anything SD needs an interrupt button. SO many times I've mistakenly hit it instead of rest. (move them apart, yah I know...) It cracks up the team when I go "resting" and then explode.

I wish you could cancel Self-Destruct. I've accidentally activated it on new characters more times than I care to admit.

I don't see how doing that would be over powered anyway? The attack itself misses most the time and even when it hits I probably slightly damages everyone near. Most people I know only use it for debt protection anyway

so if i get this right you want it so if your held you can still SD?.

if thats the case ..erm...i dont knwo about this tbh.. sorry

I think the simple solution to the problem of unmezzing is to unmezz the status effects that prevent you from activating [Self-Destruct] and nothing else.

Maybe it's an override, or maybe it only break Held, Disorient and Fear and the character is otherwise incapacitated as the animation and explosion plays out. The character can't use any other moves, just Self-Destruct.

Self-destruct seems to be the Positron Taskforce of the booster powers. It technically works, but it reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee---

---thousand years pass---

---eeeeeeeally needs a revamp to bring it up to a similar usefulness as the more recent booster powers. Mystic Fortune and Ninja run appear to be the most used booster powers I've seen in the game.

Debt? What is this debt of which you speak?

On a more serious note, all my toons have Self Destruct, Ninja Run, Mystic Fortune, and the LKT-1700 Rocket Pack (no idea where that came from). And yes, I'm a booster pack ho.

I explicitly remove Self Destruct from my tray every single time because:

1.) Its animation is insanely long.
2.) It can't be interrupted.
3.) Its accuracy is bizzarrely low (Sands of Mu hits more often, which says a lot).
4.) It's ridiculously easy to hit it when I really want to, say, rest or teleport to my base. Funny for others, not funny for me. A true "OH DAMMIT!" moment.

For me, personally, it's a useless power and needs some serious love.

I think the problem here is that you seem to be under the misconception that avoiding debt is the actual intended purpose of the power, or that it's logical to buff it to be misused in that fashion even more.

In short, no thanks. Of course, I was one of the few who thought that giving SD debt protection in the first place was a bad idea.

I would agree with this, t'be honest. It's meant to be a failsafe last countermeasure. It kills you as it is. In a way, its like asking for a change to make sure you die.
