Report #1162
Skillset: Aeonics Skill: Paradox
 Org: Institute Status: Completed Jul 2013
Furies' Decision:
We think 1 and 2 are too powerful and aren't keen on 3. We will reduce the power
cost of the skill.
Problem: Paradox is an expensive skill with little benefit. For 10 power, it
will randomly cast one of a set of effects (time echoes, oracle, aeon, timewarp,
displacement) on a single enemy on each tic. It only lasts for around 4-5 tics,
and you can't control which enemy it affects.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Adjust Paradox to hit all enemies in the room once,
 simultaneously, after a 5 second delay from the
 initial casting.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Remove displacement from the list of effects, but
 greatly increase the number of tics it lasts and/or
 reduce the power cost. Ensure that consecutive tics
 can never hit the same target, even if there's only
 one enemy in the room (in which case, it would be
 lost entirely). The Envoy's suggestion is 9-11 tics.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Make paradox cast displacement on everyone in the
 room, including the caster.

Solution 2 has been expanded to account for its effect 1v1.

Solution 2 only. No to Solution 3.

All the solutions sound okay to me.

No to solution 3. Solution 2 seems like the best fix to me.

Solution 2 is fine
---[Xenthos on 7/27 @ 14:21 writes]:
I am okay with solution 2.

Solution 2

I support solution #2, though just to note that this will remove the only real
route Sentinels have available to displace somebody solo.
