Psychic Judgement?

In WWD6, Penny has a massive psychic AoE that does damage on a near judgement-slot scale. Is this a little tease of a new judgement power? Or am I just getting too excited?

Well, part of it is that she's a boss and bosses have a much better damage AT mod than players get. Her claw attacks also hit like a train even though their animations indicate they'd be tier 1 and tier 2 powers most likely.

However, as to a psychic judgement, I think Void works pretty well in the absence of a real one. Color it pink, dazzle your foes into submission!

I envisioned that attack as more of a T9 "psychic footstomp" style attack for a melee set. It doesnt have the range or damage or recharge of a judgement (that I've seen anyway)

Also also, pyronic judgement colored pink makes a good "Psy-fire" looking attack as well.

God I hope not, I'm getting pretty tired of spending time getting Incarnate powers only to have more options later.

Which of course wouldn't be a problem if we could respec them, but I'm not holding my breath on that one...

I would like a Psy judgement. I have some fear, though, that they would give it lower damage than the others. They seem to like to do that to Psi and Toxic damage, based on the Interface damage procs.

If it's already in there and looks fantastical enough, half the work is done already. Maybe send Tunnel Rat a PM and ask her?

Nova Fist is already an alternate animation for Foot Stomp. Might have something to do with it.

Wait, you're saying Psychic Wail isn't bad enough? I've been the victim of that a few times and it's no fun! Because, you know, AVs cheat and stuff.

Be Well!

My currently-played fortunata is the main reason why I'm not sure why you guys think a psi judgement would be lower damage than normal. If psi is universally low damage, my fort missed the memo! Blaster psi blast is crap but that seems like an isolated incident. There's the toxic and psi interface powers, yet those have additional effects on top of the damage. Confuse, I can see why they thought that would be strong enough to merit slightly reduced proc damage. -HP, uhhh... the devs aren't perfect. In any case, there doesn't seem to be any current general rule that says psi has to suck. I expect psi judgement would do the same damage as the rest and its radial benefit would be a large -rech bonus.

The result of a T4 Psychic Judgement gone wrong:

Don't forget that the devs will make a Toxic/Psionic damage judgement do 80% of the damage of the other Judgements. :/

Not that I'd disagree with a weapon Judgement, either.

It uses the alternate animation for Foot Stomp, with Hand Clap's shockwave effect. It's actually not that noticeable - I usually watch the League HP bars for an indication.
