Choppa Bleed 'em out suggestion

[TheRipe]

I go right to the point, this is very simple suggestion about choppas dot ability "bleed 'em out".

-First thing when I have used it: I find it very hard or cumbrous to use because there is no cooldown on it and so on it does not reach it maximum potential, making it less interesting to people who play choppas.

-Second thing when I have used it: That action point cost, 45AP is lot for 1 use of a ability and this again turns heads away from it, making it less interesting and harder to use.

So how to improve this:
-Add 10s cd to improve ability handling.
-Reduce action point cost down to 30 from 45 to make it more potential ability.
Both of these will increase usefulness and interest to use it more.

The real issue with the ability is that it does garbage damage

[oaliaen]

it a nice trade...reduce the ap and put a 10 cd...
the last skill tick is good but could be better.

Both BeO and CiT should be boosted up in damage by 100% to not be dead skills.
Such adjustments won't help the case if damage upgrade won't happen at the same time.

Problem is that after fixing a bug now the ability doesn't scale correctly with strenght and do garbage damage. if i remember well DanielWinner made a proposal to make it scale with 50% of strenght but it was rejected.
i agree with your suggestion but the ability as it is now doesn't worth one gcd for the damage it does.

So, so far my suggestion sounds good for others, but all want also slight a damage boost too?
If we cannot get both then would you rather chose my suggestion with current damage or increased damage and poor ability handling/action point management?

There is a balance forum.

Suggestions posted outside of it will be ignored with 99% chance.

yeah might better if devs decide if my suggestion is worth it or not.
Is there way to move this post to correct place, or do I have to create it over again?

The reason it costs 45 AP is cos it supose to have a single target pulsing DD effect on it and not work as how a normal DoT effect does. The original animation sound hade a big "clunk" sound effect on it and the same pulsing vfx on every tick as Impemding Doom have. It was designed as a ST version of ID. Or rather ID a AoE version of BEO. This seem to be lost or forgotten somehow.

i think you should create it again. i would prefer the damage increase
