On chordclaw they get %25 capacitance over 5 seconds (which can stack btw) which makes it the most spammable ability. Why doesn’t voltaic emitter, the most capacitance hungry ability, have something like this? If you use 1 stack it stuns, if you use 2 it disables ranged which is cool and useful but when you use 3 stacks just to electrocute for 15 seconds which is weak on its own and feels like a waste of a capacitance. (I’ve never seen anyone use it on 3, everyone is literally using noospheric command just to use 2 stacks and then use it one more time)
I’m not a game developer or anything but can we please add something more for the 3 stack? like %25 capacitance generation for 15 seconds or something? To make the use of 3 stacks viable?
less powercreep please, not more
I agree that ult needs something. The value of getting to do 2 ults back to back is just too good. It feels pretty bad when using Redline w/ 5 stacks where the noospheric trick is less effective, I’d really just rather use the 2 stack ult at most. But the way the ult is designed you’re forced to use the max possible stacks. It’s a really strong ability but yeah the capacitance interaction leaves a bit to be desired especially when compared to the other ults which give a bit more control.
If a 15s electrocution effect on hit with any melee weapon isn’t enough, it also provides an additional lightning arc via Voltaic Arc, on top of the 2-charge bonuses. I’d say that’s a pretty decent bonus, and I quite like the fact that you might not be interested in reaching 3 charges and using Noospheric Command to spend only 2 charges.
I agree. It would be nice to have control over how many stacks you spend at once. I’d rather use only 2 stacks only as well.
EAD is crazy more spammable than all abilities, did we not read the description? Its only limited by ammo, but ammo in regular is infinite, and if you find the crates on havoc still hugely near infinite. I wish there was something else to use capacitance on that side without running all the way back to the skull, most times I’ll gun down an entire line of elites and still have 2 charges while on the bottom keystone. But they gated a bunch of 3 stack volts power to arc spreading, which makes it undesirable to use a lot of the time (eg any build not incorporating arc weapons). Especially if you are on a melee build spreading electrocution crits with flensing already. That isn’t really a power creep thing but a design choice that was made, that also ends up playing against the rapid-fire ult identity of the kit.
I hate the two stack affect because it has a chance of making enemies run away from me.
yeah. lets give it a permanent upkeep. increase duration to 15 seconds, stun every 3 seconds, recharge every 45. sounds like loads of fun.
Now I jest, but … I would like to experience this in a chaos wastes setting. but not in the main game.
the mortis nodes for skitarii are way less funny and imbalanced than scum’s. but you can get 3 stack volt emitter on every use there.
How? unless I missed something, there was no upgrade or talent that does that.
oh yeah that, I remember that. brain fog.
This ultimate is already stronger than chud claw, what’s more you desire? And yeah, i am using mostly on 2 charges.
Voltaic Emitter is only great on 3 stacks makes all attacks electric get all your electic talents rolling on whatever your using and obliterate any enemy.
Chord-Claw is just over tuned instead of running with original premise of more charges getting extra effects chord-claw just lets you spam your ability whenever you feel like it complete opposite of Grail Knights original version.
