Why Do People Spam Incandescence?

I don't form a lot of trials lately, but when I do it's usually MO runs for hardest badges and I always say that I do not want incandescence. I've been told that I'm an a$$ when it comes to forming MO trials, and I agree to that assumption. If its the ONLY T3 or T4 destiny you have, then keep it equipped, but don't use it unless told to. And if you spam it I will kick you from my league, 1 star you and possibly global ignore you. And that's for a few reasons. most probably have already been said.

1) Even if you say yes/no it teleports all pets.

I have failed regular BAFs on Freedom cause people spam it and we lose pets, and prisoners escape. I have failed MO Lam's cause people spam Incan and pets get sent to the warehouse leaving MM's trollers without them. I've failed MO Keyes because people spam it right into the green beam. I've failed Mo TPN because people tp us and pets from the terms.


2) Rebirth Radial is a much better buff. +healing and +regen is awesome. I've never seen a time in a trial where Incan would be better than rebirth Radial. The healing received is only good if you are being healed. The stun and the knockback are both pretty minor, and can be accomplished by any troller/dom's stun and the knockback can be done by many toons with a knockback power. The stealth is kinda a waste since on most trials you are constantly fighting so it is a waste. The movement speed bonus I guess would be good if you have a stone tank, but any stone tank worth anything has already mitigated his horrible speed with teleport, and the mvoement speed bonus can also be done by any Kin or Time.


3) As a teleport power, its useless in trials. It can't TP des in UG trial. people say 'well it tp's people who cna't get over the wall in Slams' or 'it tp's people who can't make it in UG. Well first of all, temp travel powers are allowed in itrials so if you can't afford a jet pack, or if you can't wall jump over (which everyone should be able to since Hurdle is now a gimmie), and if you can't make it through a tunnel without dying, it's your fault for gimping yourself and not preparing for a trial. its no one's responsibility to assist you in getting places.

4) Its not a team buff. its a self buff. Bar none, the user of Incan benefits from it more than everyone else. I feel this makes the users a lot more selfish that others when it comes to buffs. If you are on an 8 man team and use Incan and all 7 teammates decline, you still get the buff. Granted, you can do that with any destiny and pop it when no one is around but this buff requires others to come to you, disrupting their rhythm for the privilege of being buffed.

Now I do have a T3 incan made. and it's only for MO task forces. Which I
think its awesome for. You stealth in and TP your entire team. It means you can eliminate TP powers from your moveset if you are focusing on end game content, and allows you more powers.

In my opinion the only time Incan is good for trials is when there are teamwipes. But you should never build for the chance that you all die. Thats why I never take rez powers. I will take vengeance, and buff the team before I take a power just to bring one person back to life.

All in all, its just a disruptive power. It effects everyone with pets, gets their pets killed while running back to them, and when people complain all you get back it 'well just put on prompt.' or 'hurr durr'

I agree with most you said but..

2. Yes, Rebirth is better.for right away, want it now healing. Again, Incan is NOT healing. If you think it is..your wrong. It makes you take more, from healing. Sure, spamming Rebirth in a group is handy, but can only be done every 2 mins, and the regen really isnt that great one a squishy, unless there is like 4 people using it.
Not to mention, rebirth is little help AFTER the burst heal, if people spread out and are taking more damage than they can handle. Sure, the regen will help..but see point above. Whereas the Incan will stay on them, as boost all THEIR healing powers, so they dont need to rely on others. It makes popping one green way better!

4. It IS a team Buff. If it wasn't..it would have no aoe or max targets. Be serious. I have seen ALL the destiny powers constantly used when solo, as some fool runs of to try show how awesome they are, starts dying, and fires of their destiny..with no one else around.

I do agree most users of Incan should be, at best, shot.
