    With all the talk about split heroes eventually being playable in full faction, it made me think about how I'd like to see Jyx play out.

    Current Build
    14 / 6 / 1 / 1/ 54
    Amphibious
    Attack Physical
    Manic
    Split Hero

    UG1: Lifedrinker / Bloodseeker / Soulseeker
    UG2: Siphoning Aura / Soul Channeling / Bleed

    Cost with Bold UG build: 82 Nora

    He doesn't really fit in with the Salaman style of play. I like the idea that he's a bit of a mindless killing machine, so here's what I think.

    Rework
    14/6/1/1/54
    Amphibious
    Attack Physical
    Manic
    Split Hero/Hero

    UG1: Provision: Offence / Bloodseeker / Soulseeker
    UG2: Scrapper / Soul Channeling / Bleed

    Cost with Bold UG build: 83 Nora

    This is a simple change which allows him to maintain usage in splits, but provides a roll in Salaman as well.

    Can we do it please @Sokolov

    Not 100% sure if true or not but isnt manic a basic attack. So wouldnt manic+scrapper be OP as all hell.

    i think manic is not a basic attack off the basis that old flesh-blight didn't proc ZA/swarm zombie on manic attacks. (if i remember correctly that is)

    I like the idea of Jyx having scrapper because he used to have oblivion shield. It gives Jyx some survivability back

    I don't think it is as I'm sure impenetrable stops it triggering.

    Seconded.

    Not a basic attack

    It doesn't trigger Call to Arms which calls for a basic attack.

    Whether it's FF or split, access to 'Soulseeker and Scrapper' is insane.

    Same goes for FF UD with Bloodseeker, if the Split Hero change actually happens.

    I don't think I'd call it insane personally, but if that's your concern... swap them? Have Scrapper and the Seeker upgrades on the same path, and Provision: Offense, Bleed/Channeling on the other other.

    @Sokolov

    Any chance of this in the player expansion?

    Jyx has already been reworked since I came back. Not looking at reworking him again at the moment.

    EDIT: Changed my mind, may fiddle with him a bit.
