Report 83

Report #83
Skillset: Telekinesis Skill: Burst
 Org: Geomancers Status: Completed Nov 2008
Furies' Decision:
We will very slightly decrease the chance of a 1 vessel burst relative to 2 and
3, but eliminating it altogether would overpower heartburst.
Problem: Since the recent telekinesis report Burst has been nerfed twice in
terms of bleeding, but still has a chance to do one burst per round. Even with
the upgrade to clot to make it easier to get, the one chance for burst makes it
useless to attempt to load up clots.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Remove the chance to do one burst and give a 50/50
 chance to do 2 bursts or 3 bursts

Perhaps 70/30? A 50% chance to do 3 vessels is preeeeetty huge

Looks good, and this is likely the direction vessels should have gone in the
first place instead of buffing the bleeding and then having to repeatedly nerf
it. 50/50 is probably fine if you consider that these vessels (25 bleed per)
pretty much no longer do anything but lead directly to the instakill, unlike
wounds, which themselves pretty clearly outpace curing

I have to agree with Desitrus. The current clot-buildup-rate is already faster
than curing (though not by a lot), so if the person doesn't run and you don't
die you'll eventually get ahead. The rate of gain is very slow at the moment,
but I feel that a 50% chance of 3 bursts is going too far the other way.

I think having 50% chance to do three bursts is fine i think. Building 12
vessels is really hard at the moment.

I agree with Xenthos and Desitrus above - 3 burst vessels on the fastest Psionic
channel out of the three available raises some concerns for me as well.

'fastest' here means 4sec. Its not really that fast.
