Aspect of Pan Suggestion

[MadPrism]

The aspect of Chiron is my favourite weapon in Hades I, so it kinda hurts a bit that an aspect that is very similar to it doesn't bring me as much joy. Right now the main problem for me is that only the Hera cast gives a comfortable time window to utilize it with the omega special, not to mention when you actually don't want to stick next to an enemy charging an attack and want to dash out of range before using the omega special. And it feels like it gets worse when you upgrade the aspect since you have more knives to charge.

My suggestion would be to make casts "mark" enemies for a while for the omega special follow, similarly to how the primary attack did for Chirons Aspect. If that seems a bit OP, it could even be only Omega Casts that mark enemies.

if you get a boon to boost your charging speed, you can get them all off, but i do tend to fire at like 3/4 charge

my biggest problem with Pan is getting a hammer boon that sounds good but reduces the number of knives. there are several that do this

Oh, thank GOD, I thought I was going crazy. I heard people talking about this aspect being crazy strong, practically overpowered, and I just can't see it. The window of time to utilize it's ability is just too restrictive. For myself, it's practically unusable, and even accounting for different skillsets and playstyles, I can't for the life of me understand why it's so popular. It desperately needs some way to extend it's ability.

It is extremely strong for damage, but there's exactly one boon that works for it (Poseidon special), and it has some really clunky aspects. Notably, sister blades' omega special is the only one in the game that does not allow you to cancel it into a dash, which makes it very ugly to use against +40% enemy speed and higher damage. It also kind of requires Hook Knives at high fear, and some of its strongest hammers (like the one that makes you fire knives in a circle around yourself) override the number of daggers fired, rendering the aspect blank except for the homing effect.

I think the blades' specials in general really need some love, as they feel incredibly stiff and slow and never worth using except as an interrupt outside of Pan, and the omega special is also just completely useless outside of Pan. The charge time is just soooo long. Shotgunning with the bow special in Hades 1 wasn't anywhere near as slow.
