Suggestion - Soul Steal Upgrade
Posted: Tue Feb 28, 2017 5:26 pm
Regarding Soulsteal- it's currently a never-pick, mostly because aliens are too deadly. By the time you get the chance to use Soulfire + Soulsteal to any effect, your PsiOps is probably already dead.
My suggestion is that if you use Soulfire while at full health, instead of healing, it generates ablative armor similar to a Shieldbearer's shield; the shield has a cooldown = Soulfire. That way if you open up with an early Soulfire, your time spent training Soulsteal will still have an effect on the mission and your soldier's still mitigating damage.
This also might lead to some interesting builds, like a Tank Psi (get a high-defense psi with Fortress, luck out with AWC skills like Low Profile/Will To Survive/Formidable/Tactical Sense, slap on some heavy armor and put 'em in the front).
