What is the Kheldian surprise?

Would it be to much to give "Inner Light" the Rage makeover? Would still have to change forms to click it, but it will last longer and it will have the -dam, -end when it crashes as the balance.

If it is to OP then I would like Inner Light to be clickable in all forms.

Despite all these cool changes, the decision to keep solar flare KB instead of KD is still a deal breaker for players that might consider playing PB's and those that keep them on the shelf right now.

You know what I want?

Pulsar made reliable and a TAoE. The animation will even work.

Oh, and KD Solar Flare.

Just read the thread (and just found out about the changes, so I'm not at home to log into test).

If anyone has some in-game numbers for the new light form and inner light, I'll plug them into my spreadsheets to see just how far these changes go towards bringing us up to Warshades' level.

I've plugged in the new recharge for Photon Seekers in the meantime. Unless Inner Light will suddenly start affecting their damage, it looks like Photon Seekers' damage contribution will bring the Peacebringer dps from that comparison up from 111 dps to about 116 dps. For comparison, the Warshade's dps was 189.

So, yeah. Can't say whether the new change is enough until I see the numbers for the other two powers.

But let me just take a minute to laugh at the notion that eclipse is dangerous to use. I can stealth in with shadow cloak and super speed and be at the resist cap FOR EVERYTHING before the alpha, and I've debuffed their recovery, and I've sapped them all for a good amount. And you say it's DANGEROUS?! HA!!

So let's see...

Eclipse=can cap resistance to all damage forms, debuffs recovery and endurance, can be made perma, has no crash, requires enemies to use and to maximize, and offers no mez protection.

New Light Form=can almost cap resistance to all damage but psi, does no debuffs, can be made perma, has a reduced crash, requires no external influence to use, and offers reduced mez protection.

Sound balanced to me, but I'd have to see the numbers.

EDIT - and unless the new build up SIGNIFICANTLY increases the Peacebringer's damage potential, I don't see why Light Form shouldn't be more powerful than eclipse, because right now Photon Seekers STILL aren't anywhere near balanced with extracted essences, which means that - unless the new build up is all that and a bag of chips - I-21 Peacebringers will STILL be nowhere near warshades in the damage department.

And Bill, let me just say that - even though I do have spreadsheets - I too will GREATLY MISS Light Form's Ball animation. This was one change I didn't like, and the buffs to light form only partially make up for it.

Can I get a sanity check?

I was hoping for changes to PBs, as I have deleted three of them due to the problems they have. The changes we got, I dunno. No more interrupted dwarf change is nice. Inherent still useless solo. Solar Flare still KB. Pulsar still weak. I'm wondering if my thoughts on PBs are really out of left field compared to what the devs think or what other players think. These changes are nice I guess, but while they make warshades even better, they still don't make peacebringers worth playing to me. Really just removing the radial KB on Solar Flare would make a huge difference.

The change to Light Form sounds nice, and I suppose Inner Light is now a slightly more useful power, but I guess my mostly-Human Peacebringer will remain on the dusty shelf if I still can't participate in melee without annoying everyone else.

I don't post much (obviously), but I do love my Peacebringer. I don't care at all if they are balanced with Warshades. I just want them to be better for teams as I am tired of the answer to "can I bring my PB?" being "No" most of the time.

So just reducing the amount of KB would greatly improve DPS and allow me to play him in teams with adulation instead of consternation.

PB's do need love but they get most of their hate from their KB....and even then I got very weird reactions when I join a team and they realize I'm a WS...reminds me of my Stalker days .

So you never use gravimetric emanation or stygian circle or even dwarf form for survivability?

As long as I wasn't trying to rush through the content I'd turn up my difficulty if I was you, that's playing on too low of a setting for what your character can handle

For some reason when you said "Kheldian Surprise" I thought of this...
