[Elemental Storm] Eye of the Storm Morph - Add in elemental effects, Change to a channeled ability.

Avran_Sylt

Each element would gain an additional effect, however the ability would become channeled (similar to rapid fire), and move with the player.

I don't see the point in this unless its
1. interruptible
2. gets boosted by soul shine/ buffer of the swift

It's fine as it is, it was already nerfed by a wide margin in Homestead update.

the general point is such that the high damage AoE Player Centered DoT can't be used in conjunction with gap closers or other CC abilities. Primarily addressing players using gap closers such as streak or more predominantly Lotus Fan (which is also a snare) in order to keep targets in the High damage AoE DoT while still being able to use other abilities.

Adding in elemental effects could help give each elemental version a more interesting identity. Such as the frost version reducing enemy speed, the flame version granting minor expedition, or the shock version dealing damage over a larger radius.

A 6-8 second channel? Are you nuts?

I can't begin to imagine how they would have to alter that skill to make it worthwhile. What a waste if you had to cancel out of a 240 cost Ultimate. And with 6 seconds worth of a channel it's going to happen all the time.

bad idea.
Destro ulti is fine as it is.

Destro got nerfed hard already. And that was needed, but now its in the right spot. Its easy enough to counter it, or move out of it. even easier after the immobilze nerf this patch

And nobody uses rapid fire, the ballista morph is much better and has no channel.

if anything I think destro ulti needs more ways to be countered rather than reduce the mobility of it. I strongly feel it should be reflected with the Templar ability "total dark" and the dk ability "reflective scale", would require the user to actually evaluate their target before bombing anything that casts a shadow. I wont hold my breath tho, the ez mode sorcs would cry too loud.

Well, it'd require a bit more thought in when to use it. rather than a fire-and-forget ability it's one that is high risk (vulnerable) for high reward (high damage over time, additional elemental effects). But yes, in order for it to be competitive there would very likely need to be some changes.

Perhaps reducing the channel time while increasing the individual damage ticks.

No more channels.

Channels unequivocally SUCK
