It's a huge area of effect. I already see it more often used as a deterrent than anything, and this is coming from one of the few that actually uses it.
Making it trigger when someone steps on it is a way to make it more useful, but that's something for another thread.

Chaos » Sat Jun 13, 2015 11:08 pm[/url]"]From a logic perspective, it makes plenty of sense when one side simply bides their time. It's the element of patience and surprise.

There's a big difference between 'simply biding your time' and 'being so much slower than someone they can still outpace you with Tekagen'.

Yes, this is why Sear does the majority of damage when you use it. Is it more logical that a slow, fully armored knight can walk out of it sooner than the fastest rogue in all the lands?

This is how it already is for fast characters. You are currently actively penalized for being faster than your opponent in these cases.


If you think that makes sense from any perspective whatsoever, I'm afraid I don't know what to say.
It honestly seems like you're disagreeing for the sake of it, like a certain He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named used to do.
