- Deals cold damage to targets in a 25ft area effect and pulls them in. Targets within 10ft of the whirlpool's center are rooted. Applies chill to targets.
Implosion Engine
- Adjusted the cost formula for this power. Cost has been lowered.
- Updated the tooltip to state that it has a 25ft area effect. This is just a tooltip update.

When ranking it up to either Rank 2 or Rank 3
This travel power loses the VFX/Bubble visual effect
Bug: Can't unlock Bow Graceful on the PTS; claims it needs "further requirements."

"Don't call me lizard!"
Suggestion 1
For Bubble Flight, not to have the bubble disappear when you're in combat mode and use the swimming animations instead of Arcane Flight's
Suggestion 2
A secondary idle swimming emote similarly to the ones aquatic Lemurians use in Lemuria
Bug
Using Bubble Flight underwater with swimming animations causes the bubble to move halfway outside/behind the player when moving

I guess it's doing what it's intended to be doing.
It's nice that it's a click, but for something with a 1:30 cooldown damagewise it's just a stronger flashfire patch.
If it's meant to be utility, it would probably benefit from getting the Commanding Presence adv.
Alternatively, give it an adv that stacks Dependancy on targets affected since anime rules say water = life. Or give it a healing rune effect.
still could, whether as its own or a mini-set as part of wind (since this power is part of wind); this might be a test to judge interest

ALREADY A BETTER ULTIMATE THAN THIS TRASH CALLED FRACTAL AEGIS 100/100
I like the visuals, it can be used for an ICE DPS without a problem, it's Damage over time Fire and Forget and it has cool utility
BUG: None of Whirlpool ranks have sound effects
Suggestion: Rank 2 and 3 could use more distinguished visuals. I suggest small water geysers emrging from the ground
This power could use another utility for ENDGAME bosses as well
This is intersting, a Water themed power under Wind powerframe, it fits perfectly
This is a pull mechanic power I wanted Ebon Rift to be (now if it could change into fire and forget power too)
Its the emote the Fox butler in Caprice has been using
Not like this will stop people from making Aquaman clones with fighting claws
WELP I guess Muted Whirlpool and Bugged Rank 2 and 3 Bubble Flight along with any bug the new costume set has will go live now
Anyway, the bubble should have a bit more transparency. you know, like bubbles from Presence Mastery?

If this is the case, then the personal magnifiers should have been released already and any potential bug hotfixed with a quick patch.
Instead, the personal magnifiers have been sitting in PTS for 3 months cause "they might be buggy", and bugged or incomplete powers are kicked out the door in less than a day notice. And inside a Lockbox to boot!
I really hope they run statistics on key sales throughout each lockbox release. I'mma go on a limb and say that Shaolin Lockbox was the one that sold the most by the fact that it had an appealing costume set, a sidekic, a functional Ultimate and a good TP, whereas rushed messes like the Blockbuster or Corrosive boxes sold less.
Not to mention the decrease in appeal of key bundles, where we used to get useful devices like Draysha Supercharge or useful heirloom gear pieces, and now we get...a permanent party bomb...yay!
Is it possible for us to get a sleeveless version of the Aquatic tights
They do it just to see you complain. It brings them joy, and they also get paid for it.

Update
Now that I've played with Whirlpool a bit, I do think it could probably use an advantage that applies the dependency buff. Which is sort of in theme for comic book/anime style water powers. Water is usually associated with healing. But otherwise no complaints, am enjoying the power very much
Made this suggestion in the PTS thread (or a healing rune) and it got noped.
Granted, Whirpool already provides a lot of benefits as it is, both in PvE and PvP, so I can live with it not getting an additional advantage. Additional advantages are nice to have to add some customization to powers, but I can see in this case why they wouldn't.
QUERY 2: Why is the Ape in the water?
Implosion Engine dissapears when killing targets that don't stay after dead, like the telekinetic worms the elder worms spawn in their attacks or the qularr flying bugs.
1) Check defender or the police officer
2) The increased Cosmic aggro range has made it exceedingly easier to pull Ape down the mountain. WOOPSIES!
I wonder if this is related to a similar bug that Ego Storm and Flame Prison have...
