Oddeye Issue -- Visions of Regret underpowered

Discussion

Issue

This skill is very underpowered. When compared to even normal skills its weak.

Suggestion

Lower recharge to 10 and lower duration to values similar to empathy(5...15 considering 0-15 skill levels). Split effect to(level 0-15) values 15...60 damage when an attack skill is used and 15...60 when an adrenaline skill is used. This would make the skill more versatile and keep the anti-adrenaline attack aspect.

Jette's Issue -- Visions of Regret

Issue

Skill is useful against only two professions out of eight, and even then only circumstantially. Poor recharge time makes it difficult to affect multiple targets the way Empathy and Spiteful Spirit can. Numerous other issues.

Suggestion

Similar to above. Decrease recharge to ten, make duration the duration the same as Empathy's, and essentially add the effect of Empathy. The target takes 10...46...58 damage whenever that foe attacks. If this would make the skill too powerful against adrenal attacks, either A) make the damage on attack effect not trigger whenever the adrenaline damage occurs, or B) lower the adrenaline damage to ~35...90...109. This will make the skill an "elite choice" that is clearly superior to Empathy, similar to Energy Surge vs. Energy Burn, or Crippling Anguish vs. Imagined Burden.
