Not sure I agree with this. The nova it procs dose well next to no damage and the knock back dose not seem all that powerful. Larger enemies will not be pushed away meaning you may just be left open to being re downed unless you have your action skill or Mindfulness Stacks built up letting you reposition yourself.
I hope they bring it up to say about 70% Amara has no innate damage reduction and this skill was one of her greatest assets while preforming the role of tank in a team.
Nerf only hurt the low level. People high guardian points wont feel the nerf.
I haven’t tested it yet, because I’m at work, but I would think the Guardian rank skill called “Resilient” (from the Survival tree) would make this a complete non-factor. Resilient ensures you recover from FFYL with full shields and health.
I agree. I can test it when I get home from work. I have Resilient unlocked.
CM supposedly forwarded our feedback to be able to trigger the skill by ourselves. If they patch the skill like this I’m fine with this nerf, which doesn’t affect the character that much tbh.
Resilient works with Guardian Angel
I just finished the game and unlocked Guardian ranks and got this skill. Thanks for the replies guys! I still feel like the knock back could use a bit more kick but this talent makes this skill worth every point in the Brawl Tree to get it.
Apologies for the delayed response, but @psngreen617 is correct. I tested and I can verify that Resilient does proc when exiting FFYL via Guardian Angel. So even with the nerf, once you’ve invested in to the Survival tree enough, you essentially get the “old” Guardian Angel.
Guardian angel is really just a 2 minute get out of jail free card. Because the added effect of full health is pointless when everyone will have resilient.
it is still one of the best skills that make amara tanky.
