Has anyone noticed that the wording on force pulse might mean it is also undodgeable? "Beam-type attacks"

"Force Shock: This ability and its morphs can no longer be reflected. Beam-type attacks cannot be reflected, but are able to be blocked."

Yeah I was thinking of that just last night. Beam attacks aren't dodgeable.

Overall @Wrobel I'm not too dismayed over the balance changes outside of a few (DKs heal and Force Shock).

Other Ultis need a rework to be relevant again and as a Sorc main, I would be fine if you reworked Negate.

The one change I really dislike on paper is making Force Shock unreflected. I distinctly remember Crushing Shock spam aka Laser Stick Shotguns from 1.4 Elder Staves Online.

Wings is so buggy as is, sending 1 Force Shock weave (=4 attacks) back to attackers is not overpowered and was the easiest way for a Sorc to get wings down before sending a Frag.

If you slotted SnB reflect, it was only a protection from 1/4 the damage but could also stun and prevent a follow up attack.

Blocking 4 attacks for each weave is excessive, and already one of the best ways to break block. I can see players moving to not even weaving so nothing is reflective.

I don't think DKs got what they needed heal wise. At all. Others have better words to describe what needs to change.

I think Blazing Spear was probably the best AoE besides ultimates but the stun was fine and the delayed landing didn't make it OP.

Block can only pull stamina once every .5 seconds, so I would bet if you tested it Force Pulse only takes 1 block tick to block. This is part of what makes permablock builds so strong against zergs - there is a limit to how much stam it can use but no limit to how many attacks you can block.
