Should the Destro Force Shock Spammable be Channeled or Become a Projectile?

The issue is that it is both instant in cast, as well as instant with projectile (since it has no projectile). I'm thinking because of the instant beam, it should have some kind of channel, or way to telegraph the attack. (PvP). if there was no interrupt/stun on this spammable, It'd not be much of a problem.

    Channeled so you have .25 seconds to interupt the ranged caster?

    Projectile so DKs can get around a primary magicka spammable that was changed specifically for counterplay?

    If you think it is overperforming, I'd seek other adjustments (as well as a few reasons why it needs adjustments to begin with).

    Well, this is bit more my issue:

    you already have counterplay with the flame and shock morphs of destructive touch.

    putting additional counterplay on an ability that has no cd like stuns is a bit op. Sure, you get a situational stun for interrupting, but unlike the stam melee classes who have to wait 4 seconds for your immunity to wear off in order to intterupt an ability again, you can just keep spamming an interrupt ability that will actually interrupt attacks.

    Stamina user can spam Venom Arrow which works almost the same. Ranged instant attacks that interrupts. Also cheaper then Crushing Shock. Idk from whereYou digged news that Crushing shock have no cooldown on interruption and other things have. Everything including bash have no cooldown on interruption You can interrupt every channelled attack with it and stun enemie if he not have CC immunity.

    Stam can animation cancel with bash :wink:

    Not to mention: do you know what it's like to be bound by channels? Because I do. And, while I love my class, it becomes rough sometimes to keep up consistent pressure AND keep yourself properly sustained and high health. But I have no issue with CS or FP. Don't make more channels for players to suffer through.

    If it became a channel, 5x Soulshine 5x Spider Cultist 1x Kena would become the meta, and Crystal Blast would likely see higher use. Whether this is a good thing or not is up for debate.

    Yeah, this thread should be closed, seems that the ability interrupt thing is rather poorly worded. Melee abilities can't be interrupted, ranged abilities can be (You can't interrupt uppercut, but you can interrupt snipe). There is a lot of confusion at least on my part as to what can and cannot be interrupted with Crushing Shock/Venom Arrow.

    suggesting this you either got no idea about game, no skill, and probably are a zergling.
