Vomitus posted something about mana burn... a mana trap would be nice. Put a shortened stun on it and an AoE and you can seriously goof up an opposing team.
Feedback Trap:
Stuns within a 250 area and drains mana by a set percentage
1 - Drains 25% mana - 1 sec stun
2 - Drains 40% mana - 1.5 sec stun
3 - Drains 55% mana - 2 sec stun
4 - Drains 65% mana - 2.5 sec stun
5 - Drains 80% mana - 3 sec stun
Doing a percentage much like the phase shift on a antigrav tank. So it never completely drains a tank. At mid game tanks would be knocked down to one ability when trying to chain for a kill and at late game it would allow people to pick between using abilities to base wreck and not port out or just stand there with cannons and have enough to port out. Not to mention that an exploder going out to the front line to lay a trap is pretty risky.
I think burrowing would be too easy to camp a point and as it stands I can cp tele and then use my tele immediately after and cover most of the area to the next cp. Another thing I could do with burrow is tele and smoke to burrow so they have no idea where i'm at. Do that within range of their main assault cp and you have an easy multi kill lined up.
Coincidentally... I've done cp tele + item tele + ability tele and gave someone the WTF feeling.... they were kinda pissed that i went from my base to behind their line to kill them.
