Champions Online News - First Celestial Power Revealed!
Posted by Michael Bitton on Oct 01, 2009 | 8 comments in our forums
The first power in the upcoming Celestial power set to be released this October with Champions Online's first major game update, Blood Moon, has been revealed today on the game's official website. The first power is, naturally, the set's energy builder and is called "Radiance".
Radiance will have some interesting quirks when compared to other energy builders, namely that it will damage enemies as normal, but will also heal allies if you target an ally with it. There is a caveat however, the energy building aspect of the power will not build energy when used on an ally unless it is actually healing damage on that person.

Radiance fires bolts of dimensional energy at your target, healing your friends and destroying your foes.

- If targeting foe: Single target dimensional damage
- If targeting ally: Heals target
- Generates energy
- If targeting ally: Only generates energy if damage is healed
The developers have previously hinted that the theme of the set would be a kind of two-sided coin this way, and the first power revealed certainly follows along that theme very nicely.
Hawt.
Very Very Very Hawt!
If this whole powerset has doubled effects like this, it can turn the tide on healing in this game. I'll definitely try this out one available. Looking really forward to this and upcoming changes :D
i cant wait for this powerset although i can already hear the cries of nerf
Interesting power but I rarely find support powers, like healing, useful in this game since you rarely group. They really need to fix that aspect of the game before introducing group only powers.
i dont believe that grouping is actually an issue i believe its more that people simply just dont group because they dont have to however i have no problem grouping if i absolutely want to however if u mean content wise then thats a problem i can see
There is not much content and no apparent benefit of grouping and hence most people dont do it. Thats why healing/supportive powers arent particulary useful.
i agree like i said content is a different story however iv noticed alot of people will literally not talk to me if i ask for group simply because they dont need my help i try and group as much as possible and i must say most of the time i have no trouble finding people but sometimes i come across the more stingy people
riiiiiiiight cause a power that dammages foes, but heals allies of you assisit-target a ally ONLY works in a group.
