I have a problem with the visual FX for Mind Link! The powers is an AoE team buff, but it looks like a nuke! It even SOUNDS like a nuke. When people use it on me I get scared and think psi enemies are attacking me, unless psi enemies already ARE attacking me and I know that in which case I just think I'm under normal attack.

Why not a more subtle FX? How about your Widow gets a subtle glow about the head like Mother Mayhem's Praetorians have, then glowing lines shoot from the Widow's head to the heads of all the Widow's nearby allies and then they get the glow as well. The glows then persist until the debuff expires. (Refraining of using colors to describe the FX because power customization might someday make the color moot.)


Issue 16 made me feel like this.

I agree, it reminds me of Psychic Shockwave. I really liked the globe animation from before...

Perhaps in i16 players who agree with Vanden will be able to tone it down enough to satisfy him. Personally I like the f/x a lot, so I don't think a BaBs-level adjustment is warranted.
