Zos is basically saying if you want to reliably use this loaded as *** healing ultimate, create safe space and earn its potent benefits. Again, soul siphon used to be a measly 15 meters, and was buffed to 28. 5 second window, you ate lethal from being focused hard or took a stun (that was going to hit you anyways), 99 percent of the time getting interrupted out of this ult is purely collateral from taking focused pressure with stuns being thrown out anyway. The only time the cast time nerf really stings is when you are all piled up on in a cluster *** and this ult fails to go off because in that. No one is going to see the nb in back doing this ult and reactively interrupt them unless a sorc is sitting there waiting patiently with crushing shock ready to go. If you jump on the nb who is primed with this ult, you shut down that effective option his group has. They are saying "look, if you let the nb in back free cast and use this ult uncontested, your group coordinated combo might fail to wipe the opposing group out. The idea behind the cast time nerf is that zos isnt saying you should use this selfishly as a defensive ult when getting piled up on.

This ult can single handedly bring back an entire group from the brink in one second full stop. Massively increased radius and tooltip values Rewind a the game a number of patches ago and look at the change trajectory this ultimate went through.

I would almost say it's actually more healing in a single instance than you would ever need most of the time. Massive burst, massive hot, 4 seconds of major vit, and a respectable synergy for more healing on top of undaunted passive synergy benefits. Soul siphon without a doubt is the most potent group healing ultimate in the game in terms of raw tool tip and effects. If I mat play devils advocate or try to demonstrate zos' logic here. I think they knew about soul siphon and intended for it to fit the same cast time bill.

People have been vocal enough though including myself. They made a change to the base skill but forgot about one of the morphs. Honestly, chalk it up to the same situation that Blastbones is in right now. Not to mention it's not contributing to your own burst, so their reasoning doesn't really fit here.

#Soul syphoner how to#
Yeah but most people don't even know how to properly use the synergy (you have to actually aim at an enemy to activate it). I completely forgot about the synergy since i usually play solo lol. Except for nbs trying to cast their defensive ult apparently. Someone died to Soul Leech i guess and we can't have players dieing in PvP.
