The bard's scream is widely known to be more powerful than the psionic's psiblast (esp with fortissimo), psionic is finding itself outdone by the bard's instruments and potential for damage. I was thinking since psychic feedback while okay, is rather weak and is only something that is triggered after the psion is hit there should be a new psion remort skill possibly gen 4.

This trigger would be a one time "supercharged" psiblast. Doing some damage to the psion himself by channeling such energies through him/herself maybe calculated between 30-50. It should ideally cost around 100 mana and 30 move and do around double the damage that the normal psiblast could do.

Having levels of energy that the psion could set beforehand for the skill could be useful as well so that less or more overpowering could be effected. The numbers of this are morphable. The effect of the overload could even be random within a specified range because the extra power is hard to control.

This as a mid-level remort skill makes sense since the psion has such control over his mind he should be able to channel more into his psychic attacks if wanted or desperate.

To clarify this would probably be a skill not a trigger. But maybe.

Okay i'll admit that double damage is stupid, it's too powerful. However both of the psion remort skills really aren't worth anything. So i was thinking that something should be done about that. This is a message to coders to please remedy this.

no input other than a possible name… warp blast… those of you who play wh40k will know what it is…possible one of the most feared psychic abilites a tyranid swarm has

as i psion, i have to agree that we need some more offensive triggers/skills for psions. i personally think that triggers like "weakness" and "vertigo" are a complete waste, becuase those initiate combat, and because psions are so physically weak, you wind up fleeing without doing any damage. i LOVE motor spasm though.

-just the opinions of a lowly psion. feel free to disagree-

if you flood the mob first it does not start combat when you use those other triggers… the only ones i know of that start combat is motor spasm, psychic crush, and ego whip…other then that i dont know…and personally i think that psions need more defensive triggers…something along the lines of electrostatic field…

ah but flood while effective fails enough that if you're against a really big mob you're taking a dangerous chance since a failure is aggro.
