yeah the OoB hit range increase is awesome.
Still I don’t use a lot of OoB. Don’t know how you feel useless in missions @BlaXun . If Random matchmaking gives me an odd party without serious damage dealers, I’m usually the person with Hate on them as a result of Possession and Cure 16 being an easy 70 hits in tandem. I have very limited time to OoB and I’m dropping Heal 15’s without the damage attribute because I just have enough tiles that I can afford to use it as a damage skill and still have some left over for healing. So that’s often another 20 or so hits. By that Time I’ve basically done ~ 90 hits worth of damage, and my OoB if anything is going to add maybe 15 hits worth before I have to start Channelling Possession again.
If anything I feel very at home in missions due to having stationary targets to wail on.
If I dedicated a saturday to Hitting R7, I’d throw in Kabbalist and then Merkabah would take up even more time. Just when do you really get to OoB for any sizeable period of time, outside of playing it safe outside of a bosses range (at the cost of lower dps).
All I can really say is the amount of Possession use, trivializes the spirit, which would be resolved by making Possession and Transmit Prana, OOB skills IMO.
