Set Status is missing Nano Boost, Biotic Buff and Biotic Debuff
Nano Boost is basically Set Damage Received 50% and Set Damage Dealt 150%. Likewise, Biotic Grenade is Set Healing Received 150% or Set Healing Received 0%, depending on if it’s a buff or debuff respectively. Unfortunately, I don’t know enough about the effects to know how or if it’s possible to recreate the visual effects normally associated with those.
Also it seems to be impossible to make rules that alter status effects which weren’t applied by a workshop rule. Like for example I can make it so taking damage causes burning for 1 second then stops, but if Ashe’s dynamite causes burning, I can’t alter the duration.
I just want to be able to use the nano-boost effect on players. It would definitely open up more opportunities for asymmetric game modes, so you can make a character look really badass because he’s got electric bolts flying out of him.
Yeah. I’ve seen a similar visual effect achieved with the burn status, but that required messing with settings to counteract the burn damage and to manually add the nano buff. Plus players said the fire effect on their screen was distracting.
Honestly a new effect option sounds nice for a workshop action.
“Create Hero Effect”
Honestly it would look nicer than create effect on heroes in general.
