An attempt at making Praetorians more viable: Regen plasma even while wounded

Post by TheMaskedMan2 » 08 May 2017, 01:39

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Make it so Praetorians always regen plasma, even when wounded. or perhaps at a reduced rate.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): I have personally found that Praetorian is a pretty decent caste, yet pales is comparison to other T3's. I find that my biggest problem as a Praetorian, is not the movement speed, but it is the plasma woes.

Praetorians already have amazing plasma regen, yet it also has a sizable health pool, which when wounded, takes FOREVER to regen, during said time the Praetorian loses their pheremones, spitting ability, and basically any support it has, and essentially makes the amazing rate of regen useless.

Allowing Praetorians to continue to regen plasma, would allow them to keep up the pressure, continue to support with pheremones and plasma transfers, and not be rendered useless for a while just from being hit by two shots.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Essentially, make it so Praes do not need to be at full HP to regen plasma. Perhaps not full plasma regen, maybe at a halved rate? Specific values for balance can be worked out through testing I suppose, just the general "idea" is what i'm proposing.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Coding magic!

+1 Do it muthafuckas!
(jk. Please implement this. It's rare to see a Prae on the battlefield and I really want to do battle with one)
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.
