Report #1551
Skillset: Psionics Skill: Psiblade
 Org: Nekotai Status: Completed Mar 2017
Furies' Decision:
Solutions 1 and 2.
Problem: Not a problem per se, but a suggestion to update Psionics Psiblade's
relevance and parity with updates to the rest of the game's design. In report
1503, Kether/Violet was updated to remove astrospheres when the user is not in-
combat. Psiblade is functionally and RP-wise an alternative to kether/violet,
but doesn't yet have this functionality.
[A:14 R: 0] Solution #1: Make Psioncs Psiblade sever astrospheres on the user
 if the user is not in-combat, as per report 1503.
[A:16 R: 0] Solution #2: As Enyalida has commented: Solution 1 + apply this
 (and other kether/violet functionalities) to all
 other kether/violet clones. Apparently dreamweave
 burst and transmology hands are amongst those - not
 sure if there are others.

Why not just add that functionality to all kethering attacks. That would also
include dreamweave burst and transmology hands.

Okay. Do comment with other versions if I have missed any.

Sure, supported

Solution 2 sounds good
---[Xenthos on 3/5 @ 23:14 writes]:
Does psiblade actually do the same damage as violet/kether, btw? I seem to
recall, at one point, complaints that it was worse. If that is actually the
case, it should be updated to be equivalent.

I'm for solution 2, and Xenthos's suggestion if the damage is in fact worse. I
don't think a psionic mage can do a combo with ethereal forms so for both mages
and psymet monks this is a 6s balance where you're not doing anything else, so
if anything it should be stronger given the balance times, but I'll settle for
parity.

Sure

Supported

Both are fine, especially 2

I agree with the second solution
