Does Psychosomatic Predation damage bonus proc on Yell?

Yell is weird in that immunity to fears do block it, but it also does not trigger Aphobia. I'm wondering if the x2 damage that applies on "frightened enemies" applies. My Spear/TC build could use the bonus damage.

no

Boo, Styg, boo.

How am I expected to spend 15 AP on a skill that will give me a few percentages of extra damage that's only really worth it with high TC, melee weapons, and a prior fear effect?

I guess it pairs well with mollies, but I'm not wasting two slots on Frighten and this thing. I guess maybe if I had LoC it would be pretty good? Fear an entire group, then target them one by one with this.

Even then it wouldn’t be good since the CD is 6 turns. Really it’s just good for arena. I guess it can be fine for the final enemy but not sure I want to take up a spell sllot just to do extra damage to one guy when TC already is incredibly strong in 1v1s. You can also say it’s good for bosses but 2 innervations for one boss is a big no no to me especially if you can get the boss alone from the start of the fight.

To go with the theme of the psionic, the CD should probably refresh when you kill your target. Then at least, you could turn TC from a 1v1 build to a "chain 1v1" build.
I doubt it would end up being the most overpowered build in the game.

For 15 (10 with tranq) AP per target I don’t think it would be worth it for normal enemies even under the best circumstances. They will die pretty early but if say bounced automatically at random then that could be a fun mechanic with zero AP cost

thats a good suggestion; go make a thread

this too

By the way, does Predation work will LoC? Do you get the bonus against all targets, or just "the last one" (chosen arbitrarily)?

[harperfan7]

Brutality will trigger it.

Oh damn you're right. I need to get my Intimidation up-to-par so I can try a Death's Grin build for my endgame
