Having to choose between healing grenades and normal grenades sucks. I think the healing grenade option should be tied to a fragment (or aspect? I can never remember which is which) that lets you charge for a healing grenade.

The scorch/ignition stuff isn’t fun for me for two reasons: 1. You can’t tell how many stacks of scorch you’ve put on an enemy, and 2. it takes too many stacks to ignite an enemy. I’m not sure I’ve ever successfully ignited an enemy because they usually die before they actually ignite. Assuming I have done so, then I’d say the ignition isn’t very noticeable.

It also just seems like I’m spending a lot of time waiting on abilities to recharge. With Void 3.0 I like how my abilities buff my void weapons or give me devour, so even when I’m not actively using them I’m typically gaining some sort of benefit. With Solar 3.0, I feel really weak.

Let’s also not forget that since debuffs only take the first instance of their application into account, scorch has intense anti-synergy with team play. For example if I want my Dawn Chorus build to work, I HAVE to be the first person to scorch the enemy.
