User blog:Sakkeman/More Heretic item suggestions

So in a previous blog I speculated on what kinds of Heretic items the other two could be(M2 and R)

Here is my suggestion for the R ability Heretic item

Words/ Song of Herecy: "Words to ignite the mind" A passive effect on the default R abilities, with an unique downside depending on the ability. Basically the ability now inflicts a debuff called "Burning Mind"(BM), damaging enemies over time and reducingtheir attack speed and weakens the special abilities of elites (reduced durations/proc changes, reduced radiuses for explosions). Visually it appears as a blue(lunar) flame on their heads(between the horns of an elite)

Unique downsides:

Commando, just plain less shots or just two shots for Rapid Fire, hold only one Granade. Now inflict BM

Huntress, smaller area for arrow rain, only one or two ballistaes. Now inflict BM

MUL-T increases the cooldown of Retool to 10 seconds, but activating it releases a BM nova/ imbues the equipment with the effect.

Engineer, just one Turret, but its attacs inflict BM.

Artificer, instead of Flamethrower fire a beam of fire that deals less damage and longer cooldown but has higher range and inflicts BM. Ion Surge becomes a downwards jet of blue flame, acending the player more slowly and igniting enemies on the ground with BM.

Mercenary, Evicerate now only hits each enemy once with a heavy (250% damage) slice that ignite them with BM, Slicing winds becomes a single vertical slice that pierces enemies and ignites them with BM, but has longer cooldown and slower speed.

Rex, Tangling growth now takes 33% health, but ignites the enemies with BM.

Loader, Pylon becomes non-corporeal, so it cannot be grappled anymore. Shocks now inflict BM.

Acrid, one of the pandemic projectiles now inflicts BM instead of poison.

Captain, the beacons effect is replaced with a constant nova of BM.
