vox tower orbital strike

[enderfour]

I just died 3 times on a tarot mission from the same vox tower. Each time I was moving with less than 100% health, and casted a buff. During the animation to cast the buff, the vox tower called down an orbital strike on me. Unfortunately each time I was unable to move out of range of the blast after the buff casting animation finished.

Maybe the orbital strike animation should take another second, or tone down the dame from ~50%+ max hp. I think I would prefer the former, so they are still deadly, but more avoidable if paying attention.

Yeah noticed it too.
The casting speed is so fast on the tower that considering the radius of the blast, you have almost no chance to move out of the radius.

A true whiteknight would now say, that all you need to do is get movement speed from somewhere.

But as I am not that, I'll say that it defintielly is too tight to account for in every situation.

I had a Vox Tower spawn right next to the "Boss" group in a Scourge mission. I died twice before I was able to destroy the thing, because not focusing the mobs meant empty Suppression but focusing the mobs meant being hit by the Orbital Strike.
So it was a lose-lose until I was able to destroy the damn thing on my third Life.

Also their hit box is way larger than the ground effect suggests, which could also be looked at.
