Motivation is insane

The new Xindi Tactical Kit module, Motivation, is way beyond over the top in every sense. The ability provides +85.3% Critical Chance to self AND team while providing a heal of +134.1 on a critical hit. This ability pushes Critical Chance to the point where every shot is a critical hit. An unbuffed PvP science officer has 18% critical chance on average, that's 101.5% Critical Chance under Motivation.
Granted the ability only lasts for the first 10 critical hits (until 1,320 healing is dealt) or for a maximum of 15 seconds, but Cryptic didn't put the ability on a minimum cooldown and Tactical Initiative drops Motivation's cooldown down to 5 seconds. Not to mention Motivation has one of the lowest tactical officer ability cooldowns in the entire game (30 seconds), which means the ability will have an extremely high uptime. I'm sorry, but no ability with a minimum 50% uptime should be capable of pushing the entire team's critical chance above 100%. In PvP two tactical officers can have Motivation up 100% of the time without difficulty. Ultimately I'm guessing the chance percentage buff has a misplaced decimal point, but in any case the ability needs to be changed.

A2B just needs an adjustment, this needs a nerf. Or its decimal points being put in the right spots.
theres also that trait 5% dmg 10 severity every 6 sec in combat stacks x5... its a joke
oh and my testing was without that trait above and without rep traits etc so one player could get 340 346 severity 117 crit chance oh then add it strike team spec 7.5 chance so 124.5 crit chance 346 severity then say a drink buff dosi 124.5 chance and 361 severity now wait till rally cry is stacked from many players lulz oh and that doesn't include the new kits with extra severity and other stuff built in..
yeah its pretty much who fires secondary first wins as one hit is pretty much all thats needed with this behind it and how much i laughed after firing secondary and dropping all 5 players in front it might be amusing but its far too powerful to be allowed
motivation also stacks up so 80+ crit chance per player stacking...
there is also this http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?p=18066761#post18066761
set power clickies being doubled and providing two clickies instead of one for 2x healing etc this needs to be fixed soon
This just destroyed not only GPVP but also the crit mechanics.. why call it a chance when is a 100% fact?
Do something cryptic and do it fast! This is game stoping!

You guys have to ruin everything good, right?
I wonder what time he wrote it cause about 10 hours ago i bought 3 motivations at 1 million eah even biotech siphon was more expensive
Lol, come on. You could just get the kit now and breeze through the ground STFs using the PubliEliteSTF channel. It's just way to easy now.
Don't worry, it will be nerfed 'til it's ultimately destroyed to hundreds of pieces. Until then, deal with it.
p.s. The topic's name is hilarious, imagine if a completely strange person comes in and sees your title. He'll wonder if you're antisocial. lol

Someone random
Tried elite stf, public elite stf, still could barely get the damn optionals after weeks of trying.
And now you need to do ground for crafting materials. Which I so hate.
That's the worst, the bait and switch.
They sell something good, and than make it useless after its sold. Very underhanded.
Getting ganked in space PVP seems the norm in Kerrat. Run or die, A2B, for space it has been long time there.
But again, they could just make a "half damage to player" modifier.....expect crafted weapons will have a pvp damage bonus one, going the opposite direction.
Because I do not think they want to put that much effort into PVP. As much as it would allow a more balanced PVP atmosphere.
Space Marine for example had a problem like it:
The Stalker bolter, a sniper weapon that was utterly lethal in PVP, but quite useless in PVE, so overshadowed it was by other weapons. It lacked the killing power for the bosses, but lacked the ammo against the hordes of minions.
I occasionally grab 2 fleeties and we queue up for the elite queue.. we often get 2 totally clueless pugs that barely find their way through the map... yet the optional we get most of the time done with a couple minutes still left on the clock.. and that was before the xindi lockbox of OPness.
Of course space stfs are faster.. can get all 3 space ones done in less then 15 mins, ground takes like at least twice that but nothing this game has on ground is even remotely challenging if you have people that know how to play and ain't run around with newbie gear.
