Burden is a level 1 psycast that slows a single target for its duration.

Acquisition

There are two ways to acquire the psycast Burden:

  1. Upon reaching psylink level 1, a random psycast of level 1 is granted regardless of how this level up is achieved. This won't apply if the psycaster already knew one or more level 1 psycast.
  2. Burden can also be acquired from a psytrainer naming it. See the psytrainer page for further details.

Summary

Analysis

  • Very useful for getting one or two more shots on melee attackers before they close the distance. Effective for this reason with a killbox setup as well.
  • Useful for hunters in case of revenge, especially for larger, dangerous animals like thrumbo.
