The Phoenix buff is a perfect example of good will and bad execution. There were 2 threads about changes to Phoenix. And the conclusion was, no or a shorter delay on canceling healing pulse. shorter cooldown on healing pulse. healing pulse shouldnt be blocked by other mercs or ammo stations and so on. most people agreed, that this is all thats needed for phoenix and that 80 hp per full charged pulse is fine.
So, SD wanted to buff Phoenix and the players wanted a buff for Phoenix. Why does he get from 4 possible buffs the one no one wanted?
