I finally got specialist, and I realized just how shitty most psi feats actually are.
A fucking 30% critical bonus damage increase. One that you can't double with critical power. That, if you invest full spec into, at best turns it into 50% bonus damage.Contrast to psychostatic electricity, which has the best pay off of any psi feat spec with a maximum of 50% chance to crit if you stack electrokenesis hits besides future orientation's downside negation. Psycho-temporal acceleration gives you a second adrenaline with less drawbacks and bonus MP, so it's mandatory but that bonus 2 ap from max specc is fucking useless. Just like the 2 less AP from full tranq spec, except it needs 10 spec points.Cyrogenic induction lets you shatter enemies, which is... Eh. I took it purely for roleplay reasons and I liked the concept. Same with Pyromaniac, which is fucking useless 90% of the time since you can just throw a grenade for added crowd control besides burn. Cyrokinetic orb and plasma beam don't benefit or need any feat to begin with. Thermodynamacity is retarded. Metathermics got absolutely fucked on that endI guess mental subversion has a new niche with the hybrid melee TC builds, but it was still really useless. Locus of Control has endured in spite of Styg's numerous nerfs, but you'll only ever use it once a fight even with specc. If only Cerebral Trauma wasn't so lacklusterContinuum Ripple is absurd though. Even without specc. Just spam TD until time cancer is real and you're the cause
