Should Moira’s Biotic Grasp refill Biotic Energy off of shields? With the sheer amount of shields in the game I find “sometimes” it can be impossible to get energy back against a shield heavy and smart team. Thus it made me wonder about getting Biotic energy off of shields. But I guess what I am really making this post for is why this “shouldn’t” be a thing. I just recently started playing the game so I don’t have the insight that most of you probably do.
It could, but there are other parts of Moira that should be buff. Her resource meter isn’t really that limiting.

Considering the fact you can’t spray through shields, I’d call this a fair tradeoff, especially since her damage is already low as it is. But like Morghanit said, there are other, more vital areas that should be looked at first

I believe her damage orb should be abled to refill her Biotic Energy.

And that’s exactly why they should add another mechanic to it. Maybe make it so high resource means more healing and low resource means more damage, with Biotic Orb giving you a push up or down depending on which one you throw. That way managing it would be more skillful than “don’t left click too much”.
No. That would completely defeat the purpose of the Energy mechanic. You would never run low.

I don’t like this idea. When you’re out of juice and have orb you use yellow orb as substitute, not (theoretically) purple to get juice back to heal with primary.
I see it only practical in one scenerio which is
When you spend too much time in choke point and you run of juice, because your allies take unnecessary dmg from enemies and you can’t really peak out to use secondary or wait for cooldown.
Sounds kinda cool, but if her dmg was lower than current on full resource I don’t like it then
Her meter is so easy to manage especially after their last buff to it so I don’t think it’s needed honestly

I often find I don’t even have to actively think about managing the resource anymore
I think Coalescence and Biotic Orb should restore energy, and they dont which makes no sense
What about lowering her hps but allowing her to gain energy off of shields? She heals for 80/s and it’s aoe right?(aoe in the sense that it has the potential to hit multiple targets at once.) So why not 60/s and allow energy off shields? Idk I have had games where I expend all of my energy trying to keep my team alive and then have no way to replenish due to shields. And angling around the shields isn’t always an option.(Not without putting yourself in a very bad spot anyways.)
I play quite a bit of Moira and I don’t think she needs it.
There are great ways and videos on how to manage your resources especially if you use mostly healing orbs, which is what you should be doing. Damage orb is for cleanup.
If you throw a 200 damage orb at the start of a fight you just have yourself 10% ult change as well as their healers it’s a neutral gain but if you use 300 heal orb that’s all you.
Even if you run out of juice still throw heal orbs. You’ll be able to get pieces of juice back to assist the orb out.
If you run out of juice you should have ult anyways. If you run out of juice and arnt close to ult you need to manage your resources better.
After ult you’ll have a new orb and a bunch of juice again so it’s a cycle.
